Exploring X-Wayland's Root Full Mode

⭐Root full mode is a counterpart to the normal rootless mode in X-Wayland and allows for running X11 sessions inside Wayland environments.

🖥️Root full mode enables the integration of X11-based applications into Wayland environments, providing backward compatibility and preserving old software.

💻In root full mode, windows act as virtual displays, allowing for flexible window placement and enabling interactions with X11 sessions.

🔀Xrandr emulation in root full mode dynamically adjusts the resolution of individual windows and allows for seamless resizing and multi-monitor support.

⚙️Implementing multiple root windows and controlling output configurations pose technical challenges for X-Wayland's root full mode.
