I know the theory behind Wayland and differences from the X server but not sure what the practice should look like. For example, what you wrote above doesn't match with what I am seeing. When I log in over SSH and start gtk3-demo it opens on the machine to which I SSH, not the one from which I SSH. Say the desktop running Sway I call, well, desktop, and the other computer from which I SSH I call terminal. I start Sway on desktop then login to it from the terminal and start gtk3-demo. It opens on the desktop, not the terminal. And I don't forward any ports or applications over network. Initially on the desktop I had something like this: sway & firefox Then firefox was briefly showing the window and dumping core, exactly the same as it does when I start it from the terminal. Because it was working like that with Firefox and gtk3-demo I assumed it's the standard behavior with Wayland, even if that wouldn't have worked with X org quite the same way. And of course I don't need to use SSH, I just didn't have a working terminal in Sway and attempted to workaround that using SSH. GrzegorzJ
