This page tracks the Wayland showstoppers throughout the stack.

KWin/compositing/window management

Input

  • Touchpad Gestures:
    • They are not configurable
    • They are very boolean, they don't show any feedback until they're executed.
  • Can't type accented characters in native Wayland Qt apps: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411729

Plasma

  • Session restoring does not include Wayland native windows. Our sessions management recover engine is based on the X Session Management Protocol and there is apparently currently no generic concept to do it on Wayland. But on Qt it's plugin-able and GNOME has according to their wiki an own implementation for some time.
  • No activities.
  • Session sometimes crashes when changing Global Themes: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422424
