Description

Xsuspender isn't compatible with Wayland, but most Wayland WMs include xwayland which is a layer that allows applications to run on x under Wayland. Will xsuspender work with in this configuration?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate whether xsuspender's mechanism for suspending applications (likely via X11 client messages or properties) is supported by xwayland layers. Check xwayland documentation and test with a Wayland compositor that uses xwayland.
