Is anyone looking into this issue already?

I'm still using X but the things I use most (QtCreator and a Web
browser) already work on Wayland natively.
Snowshoe is nice but Qupzilla seems much more complete and that's what
I would like to use.
Unfortunately I can't build it, seems that qtwebkit puts some
undesired libraries into its pkg-config files and the linker refuses
to continue during Qupzilla build.
Other important applications are VMware and VirtualBox, those are
applications that need XWayland but I will try and see if I hit this
bug.

As soon as I have a browser built I will use Weston + Hawaii most of the time.
I'll let you know when that happens.
