I envisioned the theme to be closer to the former. I plan on experimenting
some this week to see if I can figure out a way to achieve the results in a
Wayland friendly manner. If you folks need me to remove the draft from the
admin portal, I can do so. I have drafts stored locally that I can work
with and resubmit if I can successfully come up with a viable rewrite.


There's no urgency to remove the draft from the portal, so feel free to work with it there if you need to. If we decide to not publish it, we can move it to the "Holding Pin" category for revisiting in the future too.

What is the overall theme of the article? Is it more focused on using
devilspie to create an embedded terminal? Or is it more like "look at all
the cool things you can do with devilspie"?

If it's the former, then maybe there's another way of accomplishing a
similar "embedded terminal" that works in a wayland session?

If the later, then I think we shouldn't publish it. devilspie sounds like
the kind of software that can't exist in a wayland world without specific
enhancements to wayland to allow for that kind of plugin/interception
behavior.

HI all,

At the last meeting, i was tasked with editing the Embedded terminal /
devilspie article, and have kinda hit a bit of a snag.

The main way of embedding the terminal described in this article --
devilspie -- does not work in the wayland session on Fedora 25. See this
bug for details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297349

This is not really a bug, IMHO, just that wayland is more secure and
doesnt
let random applications interact with windows that arent theirs.

Not 100% sure if we should go ahead with this one, as it does not work
with
the default Fedora desktop out of the box.

what do you all think?

cheers,
ryanlerch
