I have to say this is a rather bizarre request.  I suppose it would be
a cool feature, but I don't know of other platforms that provide this
in the way you're suggesting (there's VNC and per-window RDP stuff, but
that's not quite the same).

But I think this is one of those cases where the user who wants the
feature most gets to implement it. :)

Getting full functionality across a Wayland->X11 bridge will be tough
though; it's much easier to match these things at the toolkit level
rather than the protocol level.
