Nuts, I'm on xfce, and don't intend to switch over until it's necessary.
Why is Wayland necessary for this?

I mean... if you wanna keep using xorg, more power to you. But you can't expect developers to keep supporting it. Isn't XFCE moving to Wayland soon anyway?
We really need a WaylandX, don't we? It shouldn't be that hard to make, since Wayland is a very limited protocol...
I can't think of an ideological reason that apps shouldn't require Wayland that wouldn't apply to anything else. Isn't it just as bad for an app to require X11 or to require Linux or to require Windows or to require Android? You are free to port it to X11 or any other platform.
