With GNOME 3.12 in rawhide today (or in the F20 copr), it is for the first time really easy to try GNOME with Wayland. You can just select 'GNOME on Wayland' from the session chooser on the login screen.
If you do so, you'll get a desktop that looks just like regular GNOME, and a great many things work just fine. Just be aware of the few things that don't work yet:
- Drag-and-drop doesn't work - No touch support - some popups (eg
entry completion) do not appear
Most seriously, right clicks and double-clicks on applications that are running under xwayland have the tendency to bring down the session.
Of course, we are working on all of these issues. Any help is welcome!
I tried this yesterday (via the F20 COPR) and unfortunately it didn't work. After entering my credentials in GDM, the screen changed to one with a graphical session and a mouse, but never loaded the reset of the GNOME session. I haven't had a chance to investigate it further yet, unfortunately.
