right. And the two immediate tasks for XWayland are:

1. "XWayland: XWM can't handle transient windows without parent":
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59983

2. integration upstream; That'd be lil tricky now due the DRI2 
authentication method I've introduced for Wayland against the upstream 
changes that prime brought together. But the upstream is a must, 
specially for distros that want to ship XWayland support and considering 
now that Wayland 1.0 is out and stable.


I don't have plans to work on any of those tasks but I'm happy to give 
help there most definitely.
