VMware Horizon client started working on Wayland

Hello!

Some time ago I posted regarding an issue with VMware Horizon client under X11, where there was an issue with constant focus loss or something similar, so the user was unable to keep menus open and select a menu item. More details here (cannot comment on that topic as it was auto-closed):

I still have that issue when using X11.

The good news is that VMware Horizon client started working under Wayland. I discovered this accidentally :slight_smile:.

I still get the warning when I start up the client, that Horizon is working only with X11, but I was able to successfully log in and start the apps in my portofolio.
To add to the good news, the problems I was facing under X11 are not happening under Wayland, focus is not stolen at all, all the menus stay open and usable.

I don’t know what made this work, if it is some Wayland - X11 bridge update, or some other openSUSE trick, or something else, but I’m very happy to see Horizon working on Wayland.
