which gets weird, when they push on you things like:

- opening WiFi-portals in whatever crap browser your distro ships with GTK. Executing random JS code in the process.

- make XWayland startup absolutely inconfigurable and hardcoded in C (or was it Vala) and for whatever reason MAKE IT LISTEN ON ABSTRACT SOCKETS (which no Xconfig anywhere else does)! (problem here: if any user-namespace container shares your network namespace and you do a naive xhost +SI:localuser:user - it works for any container, because abstract sockets are not stowed away in the filesystem).

At least the first issue I'd like to report, but don't know how and where...
