There are two patches for xwayland part in weston that has stood for
quite a while:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-July/015885.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-July/015886.html
with the first one being a little feature and the second one
a simple bugfix.

Also another patch that doesn't got reviewed but quite important:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-August/016307.html
It should follow c4902124 and 9c5aedff in master (and also in 1.5
branch) but I left that out then.

Thanks for all the efforts.
