To be even more clear: this has nothing to do with your application. It's a 
desktop decision.

So Lencho's questions aren't entirely about the state of Wayland support in Qt 
6. It's more about the state of the KDE kwin_wayland and what extensions it 
supports. Some of it can be accomplished when kwin_wayland is running 
XWayland, but not all of it.
