Wayland and Xfce

[Alex]

Hi Robert,

we have this wayland roadmap: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

Though currently nobody is working on it.

Like you can see, many components already run fine on wayland, though
others do not and how to port them is to be discussed.

Manjeet Singh started to look into GtkPlug replacement, however afaik
his work is currently stalled.
@Manjeet: It would be great if you could open an issue to sum up what
you figured out so far.

no longer 'fc' and once it jettisons X, well...

Pfff, not interested in wasting the spare resources in renaming.
Currently the abbreviation doesn't stand for anything:

Cheers,
