In the long termn XLib support will become a deprecated feature, maybe even completely removed in KWindowSystem. Most is already ported to XCB. What then? We go back to finding XCB and it will be found again? Then there is nothing to group with.

Please have a look at the bigger picture and think about a general solution on how to disable X11 without having to (stupidly) patch all frameworks.

Hi,

Sorry for that mistake.

What about providing KF5 X11/XCB specifc cmake search modules ? This will also require patching of the frameworks but will allow to disable it globally when needed ?
