Can this be used on Xorg? #57

So, setting QT_WAYLAND_DECORATION=adwaita did nothing, as expected by the big WAYLAND in the name.

To arrive here I just followed a lineage of unmaintained projects that ends here, so far. QAdwaitaDecorations replaces QAdwaitaPlatform replaces QGnomePlatform, or at least that's the direction developers point to before archiving.

I didn't get the chance to try those ancestor projects, but I had the impression they support Xorg? Is QAdwaitaDecorations the one to not support Xorg? I'm not saying you have the responsibility to, I just want to know. The project just before this one (QAdwaitaPlatform) states that it is unmaintained due to "irrelevance". I want to know if this is really the direction 🛣️.

This is unnecessary on Xorg -- window manager will give a SSD (server-side decoration) for programs without a decoration.

Thanks for the link to the article.

Xorg doesn't need client side decorations. QAdwaitaDecorations being the heir to QGnomePlatform that has given up on theming, doesn't have a use on Xorg.
