@huxley qmmp doesn't work on wayland either

@huxley specifically the thing where windows are individually draggable but also stick together and behave as one

@alice oh interesting, that's too bad! I was hoping it just had another way of enabling that behavior

@huxley there may be some protocol by now, but nothing that I'm aware of

@huxley it's possible xx-zones can be used for this, but i don't understand that protocol well enough

@huxley snow is totally possible tho, as long as it's the compositor doing it (so like, a shell extension and such cuold do it)
