* Solution
** VirtualBox
*** cursor
=WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1=
*** egl error
enable 3D acceleration in VirtualBox
** unable to drop root
donot run under root
*** in normal user, libseat permission deniened
add user in =video= group
login as user, not root
** iBus
*** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/djkj5m/ibus_on_swaywm/][reddit: ibus on swaywm]]
so I use emacs pyim
** Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
*** =sudo -E=
*** lxpolkit(directly execute) or polkit-gnome(prettier, at /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1)
** cannot start sway on lightdm
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: dm
:END:
yes, still not stable, and it can't remenber which DE you used last time
+so use gdm is a better choice?+
SDDM is fantastic! [[https://youtu.be/2p7FINJSlAk][It is themeable]],
I'm using *~elarun~*, a oxygen-like smooth crystal theme, materia-kde is also a good choice
*** Fedora 37 don't work
sddm don't work on fedora37, so switch to gdm
*** environment variable missing?
trick: add =Exec=zsh -c sway= in =/usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop=
** obs
don't remove the =include= line in sway/config, and it will be fine
** cursor theme not working
[[https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/6931][from this issue]]
add =seat seat0 xcursor_theme Oxygen_White= in sway config file
** touchpad gesture like gnome
use libinput-gestures

** TODO [[https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1329][Wayfire crashes when closing foot terminal]]
** emacs tool-bar not working(cannot toggle and icon theme missing)
*** cannot toggle: disable custon =default-frame-alist=, or just use floating mode
*** icon theme missing: pgtk
and I can also have translarency,
it looked unreal after several months of solid background

this feature is not compatible with i3, so sway didn't accept the pr

*** [[https://github.com/oati/sway-workspace-manager][rust, probably useful]]
** grim + slurp screenshot pause the screen
[[https://github.com/jtheoof/swappy][swappy]] is probably an idea
I odn't want to make it too complicated,
just shot the whole screen and edit with GIMP later
