I guess you are saying that xwayland will ignore all xorg.conf and 
xorg.conf.d sections if they dont have "MatchBackend: wayland" key in 
them? What do existing xorg servers do if they see this key? If it 
requires patching existing x servers then this is not a solution. And 
this prevents the compiled-in default in xwayland from working if an 
xorg.conf exists.

I fail to see the difference between this and making a different 
configuration file, though. It is just the two files pasted together 
with "MatchBackend: wayland" added to every section for the wayland 
configuration.

The only piece of data that I can see being shared is the FontPath, 
which just does not seem worth the complexity of this solution.

I don't have any fixes, I was just told that the bugs I am having (bad X 
window borders and the window is black until you resize it) do not exist 
in the default driver. And looking at the code it seems that about 90% 
is glue to X and only some small bits where it allocates buffers and 
sends them to wayland need changes.
