My understanding is that Wayland itself does not prevent you from
doing server-side decoration. Do you mean that the Wayland compositor
intended for use with GNOME does not support server-side decoration?
Or am I missing something? I don't mean to criticize, I am just
curious.
There are plenty if reasons to want CSD, I am just surprised that
Wayland is part of it.
