I'd like to invite fellow FLTK developers to vote about
adding a Wayland platform to the FLTK library.

I'm basically +1 on adding Wayland but I'd like to test before I can make my final vote.
I fully understand some time is  necessary before the vote.

Here are my first results (I'll continue testing later). I tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with Wayland desktop.

(1) The window title fonts are way too large (obviously in CSD mode). Can we reduce the font size?

(2) There doesn't seem to be an appropriate double clicks timeout. You can click twice with a delay of 5 seconds and the second click is still recognized as a double click.



* Some platform-related code is identical for the Wayland and X11 platforms.
Timeout support is in that case.
The new code defines a new class, Fl_Nix_System_Driver, where all such code is located.
After inclusion of the Wayland branch, the X11-platform code will also use
class Fl_Nix_System_Driver.

This is an area where your and my changes conflict. I need to evaluate the changes...
OK. Let me know if I could help by any change within the Wayland code.

I'm looking into it...

FYI: I rewrote the entire timeout handling code which is now almost platform independent. The platform specific code calls only a few methods of the new internal class Fl_Timeout. I still need to solve some minor problems though, I'll let you know how to proceed as soon as I have a stable solution.


The goal here is to name a class that would be used by the X11 and Wayland platforms
to contain code useful to both. This means, used on Unix and Linux but not on macOS. [...]
The net result is this class hierarchy :

Fl_System_driver
++++ Fl_Posix_System_driver
++++++++ Fl_Nix_System_driver
++++++++++++ Fl_X11_System_driver
++++++++++++ Fl_Wayland_System_driver
++++++++ Fl_Darwin_System_driver
++++ Fl_WinAPI_System_driver

I've proposed Fl_Nix_System_driver following the practivce to name *Nix the Unix+Linux OS collection.

Aternative name suggestions are very welcome.

I don't know a better name, I wouldn't mind if we kept it, although I'm also open for better suggestions.
