Is it possible to add this feature?
You are probably using Openbox as a window manager which does not provide this feature.. Replace Openbox with Xfwm4 (window manager of Xfce) or Kwin (window manager of KDE Plasma). See: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWindowManagers

Problem with maximized window with two or more displays
I don't know your issue as I can't quite picture what you're describing sorry, but it does remind me of some issues with openbox (eg. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1704). Swapping out openbox as the WM will resolve the issue.

Why do popular distros treat any of their "KDE Editions" or flavours as second class citizens?
Yes, but also it relays on KDE, at least a little bit.
- Does anyone think wayland will actually be the future?

Replacing xscreensaver lock with xsecurelock?
I found this LXQt wiki page, ConfigScreensavers, so I tried the provided suggestions:
-
lxqt and screen locking
Configuring lock_command should work. See more on https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigScreensavers.

Weird graphics / Gnome window resizing problem
Kewl. I guess the bug report should go to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter

I want VRR (freesync), therefore : how to install mutter-VRR for Ubuntu Gnome Wayland ?
Regarding Ubuntu Gnome Wayland, I heard that there is the possibility to get VRR working with mutter-vrr (and gnome-control-center-VRR ?) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter

Would love to be able to use keyboard shortcut on this menu
You should create an issue in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter for this.

Dvorak keyboard with Qwerty shortcuts on Wayland
As a result I'm studying the wayland architecture (I like gnome so the compositor would be Mutter) so that I can figure out how to either make a hack or make something legitimate. This is proving time consuming.

Found this gem on the Fedora wiki. Look at the Nvidia entry
Hmm.. I'm not sure about the negativo drivers, but if you need EGLstreams working it seems like there are a few build options for mutter you can use? https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/main/meson_options.txt

River: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Wayland is a protocol - not an implementation. It tries to minify latency by merging together some of the components X11 had and tries to do this in a slim and faster way.
The implementation of the protocol may differ, but I know for example MUTTER (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter)
This article has nice and not too complex visualisations: https://www.secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/

LWQt Wayland DE 2nd Demo
Stock Mutter - in contrast to this fork of it - would not work either.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing lxqt and mutter you can also consider the following projects:
docklike-plugin - A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
gnome-shell - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell
polybar-themes - A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.
labwc - A Wayland window-stacking compositor
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
gnome-unstable
dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
