That's interesting, because the Ubuntu is *dropping* X for their own window system, Mir ("world" or "peace" in Russian, perhaps unrelated), which they want because they say X isn't flexible enough for their (Ubuntu's) thrust on devices, and they (Ubuntu) have lost confidence in Wayland. Kubuntu though, the "female" Ubuntu that uses KDE instead of Gnome, will keep X and keep supporting Wayland. Now, they are not crazy enough to completely drop X, as it will be shipped even on Ubuntu, with XMir in between, because there are so many tools (and scripts) that rely on X. Still, I have absolutely no idea what "old X stuff" will work seamlessly on future Ubuntu releases and its many sub-distros... (Or so I've been told, I use Debian like you.) By the way, great post. Keep it if this question rearises, put it in a FAQ, or carve it on a sand beach... -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
