    Quand tu regardes Mutter, GNOME a déjà un compositeur-gestionnaire de fenêtres, ils doivent l'adapter à Wayland à mon avis ça devrait pas être trop dur car basé sur Clutter qui est en phase avec Wayland (Intel des deux côtés).
    Pour KDE ça risque d'être plus compliqué :

    Our current planning is to make KWin our Wayland Compositor. […] it seems to me that extending KWin with Wayland support is the only possible solution right now. Now KWin is an X11 based window manager and compositor. It’s development started in a time when nobody expected that there could be anything else than X11, so you could say that it expects that all that exists is X11. This means the difficulty in porting KWin to Wayland is not in adding Wayland support to KWin, but in making it possible to have a KWin without X11 support or at least to be able to start KWin without needing an X Server.

    Cependant :

    the refactoring work I recently blogged about is an important step on the road towards Wayland. Especially the splitting of the OpenGL compositor is very important. This means that the actual Compositor (SceneOpenGL) does no longer depend on X11. The dependency has been moved into an OpenGLBackend with currently an GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend. This makes it much easier to add further backends in future to e.g. support KWin on top of another Wayland compositor or KWin on top of KMS through libgbm.
