[Spice-devel] Now available: x11spice utility

[Snir Sheriber]

Hi,

I've tried your x11spice utility , works well!

We were thinking about doing something similar for Wayland, have you 
thought how it can be done under Wayland? basically the main difference 
is getting the post-compositor-buffer/damages, isn't it?

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed

Thanks
