Why is it Gene thinks any trouble he has has anything to do with Wayland? XFCE
doesn't run in Wayland. The only Wayland XFCE users must have is the foundation
Wayland requires from Xorg, which no one can be rid of (nor need to), except by
running an ancient distro from before Wayland support was stuffed into Xorg, or
by
running MacOS, BSD, OS/2, Unix or Windows.
