Hi there

In the Plasma sprint Martin Gräßlin and I sit down and check how many things 
of kde-workspace beside KWin need work in order to run under Wayland.

Most of the work is quite easy to do some times just adding some #ifdef will 
do the trick. The only areas that seem to require a special amount of work are 
those related to configure hardware:
-Mouse
-Keyboard
-Screen (randr and dpms)

Also there are some tricky things we will have to deal with (probably by 
extending KWin):
-clipboard
-kidletime

Full list in:

Cheers !
