And you thought that the X11 IM is insane. On Wayland the situation is even worse.

At least the XMODIFIERS env seems to be gone and a program can ask the compositor to be the IM instead of X11 going down the path of looking at an env variable and doing nothing when the IM in the env isn't actually available.

@hfaust @lain @phnt btw its very sad that basic compositors can't do shit. i can't fucking stream, i can't fucking record, i can't game on it, it's very sucks. only shit that works is hyprland and i'm not very happy about it. maybe it's time for minimal X11 dwm setup again because IT FUCKING WORKS

Not really fault of the compositor, you need pipewire and stupid portals for that to work properly.

@phnt @lain @qugalet @hfaust Especially the part with pipewire and gtk portals is spot on. wl-roots compositors aren't entirely compatible with those, and I had to settle using wf-recorder and wlrobs to get some screen recording working

@vokainen099 @lain @qugalet @hfaust Portals being broken is "works as expected". There's even a portal to signal apps that you want a dark or light theme. A DBus service to signal theming. Of course it didn't work for me.

Would be a real shame if we didn't have to reinvent the wheel once again, right: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/xsettings/0.5/
Shame that it was never used to the full potential.
