port to in-process for wayland support #131

Closed lukefromdc closed 1 year ago

lukefromdc commented 1 year ago

Wayland cannot use xembed/GtkPlug/GtkSocket so port to in-process. The applet then works on wayland.

Tested with Wayfire and with compiz in x11, same apparent behavior in both and as before (in x11-only). I am in the process of porting to in-process all the applets save those that truly require x11 at this point (show desktop, workspace switcher, tray side of notification area though sni works).

When all wayland-usable applets have been ported to in-process, this will yield a full-featured mate-panel that works in both x11 and in wayland compositors supporting gtk-layer-shell, which will possibly be one of the best wayland panels and thus find use outside of MATE as well as in a future MATE wayland session.

Distros are starting to talk of transitioning out of even offering x11 so we need to make wayland work. Wayfire is a lot like compiz so a mate-wayfire session will be immediately familiar to GNOME 2/compiz fans

Applet runs fine with X11. Sorry, i don't have a wayland session with Mate running. As i compiled applets from mate-panel itself with in in-process for fedora i won't asked for an option to select in-process in configure like it is possible with mate-panel package ;) Personal i hope X11 will stay in distros the next 50 -100 years. I never heard in Fedora or RedHat based distros that someone thinks about setting X11 to eol.

There has been some preliminary discussion on phoronix.com about sunsetting x11, coming from the devs of a specialized linux distro for Apple hardware. Lost track of the story, cannot search for it easily as Phoronix uses Google (which I ban from my systems) for their search backend

It's already merged, but can we have an option to build in-process/out-of-process, similar what you did for mate-media? When you have some free resources....

I will put that on the agenda
