> Depends on what you're calling properties of the window, wayland does of course have a number of things like that but not all of them are the same as X11 used to be.

Well, technically Wayland has no such thing as properties. It only has requests and events on objects, and no protocol behave like an arbitrary key value store the same way X11 atoms do.

You can't ask Wayland how big your window is or should be for example, you decide how big it is right now when you submit a graphics buffer in a requests, and the Wayland server will tell you in an event if it would like it to be a different size (say, because someone dragged a server side decoration or because the window became fullscreen).

A key difference between Wayland and X11 is that Wayland is very explicit in how functionality is defined and added.
