miriway

Miriway is a starting point for creating a Wayland based desktop environment using Mir.

At the core of Miriway is miriway-shell, a Mir based Wayland compositor that provides:

• A "floating windows" window managament policy;
• Support for Wayland (and via Xwayland) X11 applications;
• Dynamic workspaces;
• Additional Wayland support for "shell components" such as panels and docs; and,
• Configurable shortcuts for launching standard apps such as launcher and terminal emulator.

In addition to miriway-shell, Miriway has:

• A "terminal emulator finder" script miriway-terminal, that works with most terminal emulators;
• A launch script miriway to simplify starting Miriway;
• A default configuration file miriway-shell.config; and,
• A greeter configuration miriway.desktop so Miriway can be selected at login

Miriway has been tested with shell components from several desktop environments and there are notes on enabling these in miriway-shell.config.
