It is odd. I've just checked on my laptop, and it's there. Not on my 
desktop box though, and they are nominally at least setup the same.

Anyway - I have a pet perl/Tk-based program, which I've just tried on 
the laptop with wayland. Fails at the first (can't connect to wayland-0 
at /usr/lib/.../MainWindow.pm line 53, or something similar; main window 
fails to appear).

It's a program I use a /lot/. So it's a big no to wayland,thank you.

(The same program also has a helper to inject X11 events; that doesn't 
work either of course. (It takes a home-made usb footpedal box and 
converts serial input to X keyboard events. One suspects anything like 
that is a no-no under wayland, from what I hear)
