Of course, if cross-process WIds are basically only usable under X11/Xcb one 
could probably replace their use with something that encapsulates them and adds 
whatever information is required so that comparable behaviour (functionality) 
can be obtained on all supported platforms? In the case of the kwalletd example 
that could mean
- the password request is posted in a suitable foreground layer where it won't 
go unnoticed
- once handled, the application for which the request was posted is brought back 
to the foreground if (say) kwalletd pushed itself to the front and was allowed 
to stay there. I don't know about Wayland, but that kind of action is possible 
on OS X (though not currently via an existing Qt API).
