@mhsabbagh wouldn't it be smarter to get KDE & GNOME to make a unified wayland API? doesn't seem healthy in the long run if everyone makes their own different screencasting API

Of course, if this ever happens, it probably won't resemble the GNOME API (as GNOME is notorious for not going along with what other compositors decide).
