Thank you, Juanito. Do you know how to configure weston so that it shows a window list (known as "iconbar" in fluxbox--screenshot here) on its panel? I find it difficult to use a stacking window manager without a window list/iconbar.
Juanito:
I don’t know of an icon bar that works in weston - you can use super+tab to switch between windows.

I feared as much. Thanks for confirming.

For testing purposes that will do just fine. Thanks again :)

I submitted labwc for the x86_64 repo.
labwc does not come with an icon bar but, since it is wlroots-based, it could eventually be used with waybar. Getting waybar into the repo would not be trivial because some of its dependencies need to be added to the repo first.

Note that all gtk3 apps will work without xwayland as it has a wayland backend - qt-5.x apps will probably work too.

I've been running labwc in pure wayland environment. I recently discovered, to my surprise, that gtk2 apps and tc helper gui applets (e.g., mnttool, apps) work just fine. It turns out that labwc wraps applications in Xwayland as needed--automatically and without any special configuration.
When I run labwc, Xwayland is not normally running in the background (i.e., pgrep -fa Xwayland returns no hits). But after running and closing a gtk2 or fltk app, I find that Xwayland is running:
--- Code: ---$ pgrep -fa Xwayland
7642 Xwayland :0 -rootless -core -terminate -listenfd 27 -listenfd 28 -displayfd 61 -wm 58
--- End code ---
I find labwc's no-hassle, Xwayland-only-when-needed approach to make a lot of sense. Discovering this made my day :)
