Xwayland on Enlightenment?

Is xwayland supported on enlightenment from the official arch repositories? If so, how can I enable it?

sudo pacman -S xorg-server-xwayland

It will just work since the official package is built with xwayland.

Hmm strange, I was trying to run chromium and it "runs" but window doesn't open... maybe if I try another program (and one that I'm certain is Xwayland)

There is a bug that in some cases an Xwayland client wont appear. But it isn't supposed to happen all the time.

Yeah seems like I'm encountering the bug where the xwayland client won't appear, but it is happening all the time (and it's a bug, of course it's not supposed to happen all the time (or at all))

Applies to chromium and libreoffice.

So it's basically not so much that it's not supported as it is not working right.

Have you tried git enlightenment from AUR?

No, I guess there might be a fix in there, but I like to avoid potentially unstable git packages, especially for critical packages like this.
