Was calling redisplay then map_subviews separately, with background
overwriting children. Now calls vb->map which does background first,
then children composite on top, with final commit showing everything.
Eliminated the separate Wayland/X11 code paths. Now ONE path:
1. Backend selection (based on WMAKER_USE_WAYLAND)
2. Backend init
3. Common init (colors, fonts, antialiasedText)
4. viewBackend->platform_init() — X11 does GCs, atoms, cursors,
cut buffers, modifier masks, pixmaps, IM, W_InitApplication.
Wayland is NULL (no platform-specific late init needed).
5. rootView, balloon, return
All X11-specific screen setup moved to W_X11PlatformInit() called
through the view backend vtable. No if-guards, no early returns,
no separate paths.
After WMHandleEvent processes a key press, the text field repaints
into its backing image. The modal loop now re-composites the view tree
and commits to the scene graph so changes are visible immediately.
- WMCreateScreenWithRContext: add Wayland path that skips all X11 calls
(no GCs, no atoms, no XListProperties, no XCreateGC)
- screen.c: skip RCreateContext in Wayland mode (pass NULL rcontext)
- Wayland path initializes: font/event/render backends, colors, fonts
Current issue: W_RealizeView tries to create X11 windows for WINGs
widgets. Need to make view realization work without X11 (views should
be pixman buffers in Wayland mode, not X windows).
The grey background + cursor render correctly. Startup reaches
WINGs init but crashes when widgets try to realize without a display.
Key changes in wl_backend.c:
- wl_atom_intern: call XInternAtom on XWayland display (was returning 0)
- Add wl_or_view struct to track override_redirect XWayland surfaces
- handle_xwayland_new_surface: composite OR surfaces via scene graph
- frame_create_toplevel/child: create real X11 windows on XWayland
- frame_destroy/configure: delegate to Xlib
- window_map/unmap/move/resize: fall through to Xlib for frame windows
- stacking_raise/lower: update scene graph + Xlib fallback
- event_flush/sync: call XFlush/XSync on XWayland display
- window_set_border/border_width/clear: delegate to Xlib
- window_get_rect: query XWayland geometry for non-toplevel windows
Note: frame creation via XWayland is a temporary bridge. The correct
architectural approach is native scene-buffer rendering with pixman.
