Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon
NOTE: I'll keep this post up to date with any changes that turn out to be needed, so until it's all in a proper BL package, please regard this as the current BL Carbon Wayland menu.
Here's menu.xml with all the above changes incorporated:

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon
^^@johnraff thank you so much for your hard work! 
I'm sorry, I've been working on this since yesterday.
labwc installed yesterday.
It just doesn't work with the path, ~/.config/bunsen/labwc 
Using ~/.config/labwc gives the above result. On the login screen I have labwc to choose from (next to bunsen; default; openbox)
Of the 4 required files, I only have your menu.xml in use.
screenshot's = grim and slurp
EXIT = no ('systemctl reboot' helps)
keepassxc = via 'App's Finder' etc.

That's the path it will use if started by the BL Wayland session, which would launch labwc with this command:
/usr/bin/labwc --config-dir "$HOME/.config/bunsen/labwc" --startup "/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bunsen-autostart"~/.config/labwc is fine for non-BL systems.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon
OK, thanks,
the path gives me a window for labwc within carbon.
I immediately notice that picom has to be switched off because it doesn't run on wayland. Alternatives for this are swayFX + scenefix. Both are still in their infancy and, building in debian isn't "easy" either.
https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx
https://github.com/wlrfx/scenefx
https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx … ALL-deb.md
You should therefore switch off picom in the jgmenu from labwc.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon
Picom should not be started with Wayland. The BL Wayland plugin will ship a separate autostart file for labwc, ~/.config/bunsen/autostart-wayland which is run by the labwc --startup "/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bunsen-autostart".
Apart from not starting Picom, it might not be very different from the X11 autostart because xfce4-panel and xwwall are already available.

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon
^It's already the default wallpaper setter in Carbon, works for X11 too.
