Description

Provides an external Xwayland-style bridge for running X11 applications alongside Wayland environments that need that compatibility path. It helps users keep older X clients working when the normal compositor-managed setup is not enough or not available.

It is compatibility infrastructure, not a desktop app. Behavior depends on the Wayland compositor, security model, environment variables, and how X11 clients are launched.
