lxqt-wayland-session - Wayland session for LXQt

This module provides the files needed for the Wayland session of the LXQt desktop environment and enables the Wayland settings page in lxqt-config-session.

startlxqtwayland: Script which starts the compositor and sets the keyboard layout.

Desktop entry file stating startlxqtwayland as binary needed to start LXQt Wayland sessions. Sourced e. g. by display managers.

Basic configuration files for supported compositors where needed: Hyprland, kwin_wayland, labwc, niri, river, sway, wayfire.

Any compositor can be launched by startlxqtwayland but for starting and exiting the LXQt session a line lxqt-session && <exit_compositor_command> has to be added to its autostart configuration.

Some lxqt-configuration tools currently do not support Wayland and those settings have to be configured in the compositor's configuration:

* lxqt-globalkeys

* lxqt-config-monitor (though kwin_wayland is mostly supported)

* lxqt-config-input

Limitations in lxqt-panel:

* Workspace support in lxqt-panel's taskbar plugin is supported only in kwin_wayland.

* Showdesktop plugin and workspace switcher ar currently supported only in kwin_wayland.

* kbindicator and qeyes plugin are currently not supported under Wayland.
