OK, but it said that a simple terminal consumed 8Gb of RAM, I don't have
such memory on
a set-top-box :(

Actually this is the origin of my issues, GTK+-3.x has dropped the directfb
backend and
is providing a wayland one now, qt lighthouse will be based on wayland too,
and in the set-top-box world the most famous library supporting hw
acceleration is DirectFB, so I'm looking to see if it is possible to have
wayland on DirectFB or not.
