experimental xwayland backend

[jmanc3]

I'm gonna try to write an experimental xwayland backend for hyprland which should replace the current XWM layer. I'm porting the window management of DWM because it's small and very sound (not intending to bring over it's tiling behaviour at all just its windowing and event handling).

The answer to a few questions could help me (but I'll get it done either way):

• In X, you just write a wm and the mouse events are packaged and delivered for you by default to clients, my question is, where do the mouse events come from in Hyprland, and how does it send it to the X WM manager currently. Does Hyprland have to wrap raw libinput movements into xevents and then deliver them to the correct client based on Hyprland logic, or can xevents merely be allowed to pass through the X layer and have the X11 server deal with the logic of wrapping and giving it to the right clients?

I plan on not giving wayland any events to start with, and act as just a X WM, and then once behaviour is at parity, I'll do the slow work of hooking everything back together.

I don't understand what you are trying to do.
