Hi, that is a misconception. Wayland does not in any way mandate or recommend single-window application architecture. Perhaps this misconception stems from multi-process applications. There is no problem with a single process having as many windows as it wants. However, Wayland does intend to isolate different Wayland IPC connections from each other, and two processes simply cannot share one Wayland connection. Hence processes (not windows) get isolated from each other by default. Thanks, pq
