>> we have to use Wayland instead of X11, because X11 is impossible to secure.

Yet X11 was designed in the prime example world of a mult-user OS, UNIX. Hmm.

>> We also need to use kdbus to allow desktop integration that is properly filtered at the kernel level.

Didn't I read an article on HN recently talking about a vulnerability in Windows and the subject of too close a relationship between the kernel and the end user graphics came up?



This isn't about isolating users from each other, but isolating different applications running as the same user from each other. X11 (and Unix itself) was not designed to do this.

Also, kdbus has nothing to do with graphics.
