            Bug ID: 101345
           Summary: Multiple compositor crash and security problem
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I use Fedora 25 gnome/wayland and I try to use other compositor, sway, after
installation I change session with CTRL+ALT+F3 login and execute sway.
Ok all work Initially I'm happy but after some time whend execute application
in sway the application run on gnome.
Then launching an application like gnome terminal or chromium from session
3(sway) the application runs and the window is displayed on gnome. Now if I
closing compositor (sway) the application on gnome are closed.
It does not always happen, some time then the applications are started where
they should be.
I think it's a serious safety issue.

Today I wanted to investigate and make a video but casually freeze all and I
need to force poweroff, after second time I decided to stop for not broken my
hard disck.

Wayland's security idea is completely wrong, the only security introduced has
been removing features and this is not security.
You have closed your home windows with the bricks and lifted the roof to
breathe, this is not protection.

I like new technologies but disappointed return to XORG.

Have a good life
