Does wslg support i3wm, sway, xfce4 #101

Is it possible to experience complete Linux in wslg, such as desktop programs such as i3wm, sway, xfce4, etc., allowing windows to be opened on the Linux desktop instead of in Windows. I am used to the way of switching windows in i3wm, hoping to get the same support in wslg.

I think it's worth mentioning in the README the current state of supporting a Linux desktop environment. Besides the question of supporting a full Wayland compositor like Sway, it would be interesting to document if the Linux windows have the ability to capture all keyboard events, for example to provide their own bindings for the Windows key.

FYI sway kind of works with WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1. Windows key cannot be used for sway and copy and paste from and to Windows host does not work.
