Hi! thanks for the answers... but now I have more questions that at
begining hahaha

> 1 - Wayland support window management?

If Wayland is the window manager, what about projects like Compiz,
Kwin, etc? What about if a like to use a tiling window manager? And
window decoration or desktop effects?

Toolkits, for "standard program" are more than enough, but for
programs like a dock? How to get  the windows list, or minimize
windows? The dock will be part of the window system (comopisitor)?
Wayland will offer a dbus interface or similar to implement standarts
like ICCM, NetWM/EWMG or Drag and drop??
