I've been testing Weston, the reference compositor to Wayland, the new display server finally going to replace X.org, for a bit now. Today there was an announcement in the news http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTUzNTU that a new version of Rebecca Black OS - a i386 live CD for Wayland testing - has just been released. So I gave it a try. The screenshot on the left shows a browser rendered through Qt, the Dolphin file manager and a vte on one of the 4 desktops you can choose from. Hint: You can take a screenshot via the Super+s keyboard shortcut. Apparently scrot isn't able to grab the buffer properly though as you can see in the second image. It was designed for X11 anyway. I am really seeing Wayland fully featuring our desktops soon. Go try it out, too, if you like, download links can be found in the news article - or check out the project website on SF: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebeccablackos/
