Isn’t this supposed to be a job for the window manager?
For example, my virtualbox install has some mouse pointer bugs on wayland, and I can’t run waydroid on X. These things are weird to me. Shouldn’t window managers abstract all that for the software we run?
Yes, part of my confusion was simply mixing up the job of the app frameworks/gui toolkits for the wm. It was weird to me that some apps like firefox had to provide wayland support by themselves and couldn’t simply rely on abstraction layers from whathever they’re coded in. However, I looked for some info, and found out that firefox renders some widgets on its own, and now it makes sense that they need to provide wayland support.
