How is that relevant? Qt is making some assumptions about the compositor behavior which don't hold with mutter - and we don't know whether it's Qt relying on things that accidentally work with Kwin, or Mutter not properly implementing parts of the Wayland protocol that GTK doesn't use.

If the fix is hard, then reverting the Qt change until F35 might be needed, but patching a reversion to X into Qt apps one-by-one doesn't seem like something we'd want to do: it would leave unpatched apps affected, we might forget to remove some of the patches, and it's going to make things altogether more confusing. > I agree, do we know anyone who understands Mutter that could work with > someone who understands Qt to figure this out?

Added Jonas Adahl (all things output), Carlos Garnacho (all things input) and Oliver Fourdan (compat problems expert) to the Cc:- one of them should be able to help.
