            Bug ID: 99318
           Summary: xwayland lets apps see the whole screen
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: XWayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pixelfairy at gmail.com
        QA Contact: xorg-team at lists.x.org

when the xwayland module is loaded, any app can call x11 to see the whole
screen, not just its own windows. 

to see this, run "xwd -root > root.xwd" and open with gimp.

can this be fixed so x11 can only see other x11 apps?
