For the short-term, it would be fairly easy to make a slight change to the wayland-virtwl-proxy so that a version of it could run on the host. Unlike the guest one, which has to copy frames and deal with virtwl, this would just pass FDs through. And instead of connecting to /dev/wl0, it would just connect to the host compositor socket. It would then block access to screenshots (since it doesn't proxy that), and would add the VM's name to each window's title.
Eventually I'd like to turn it into a full compositor, but I'm going to be busy for the next 6 months at least.
The 6 months passed and I had a bit more free time to work on this, and now the proxy runs on the host too! I didn't have time to write a compositor though, because I ended up spending my whole holiday getting Xwayland support added (see https://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2021/10/30/xwayland/ if you want the details - it's surprisingly complicated!). -- talex5 (GitHub/Twitter) http://roscidus.com/blog/ GPG: 5DD5 8D70 899C 454A 966D 6A51 7513 3C8F 94F6 E0CC
