Four or five years ago I had contacted jwz about what seemed to be a glitch in the Pac-Man Xscreensaver (sometimes the blue maze and dots wouldn't appear). He suggested it was likely a video-driver issue, potentially tied to hardware acceleration. I had replied something along the lines of "oh well, probably things like this will get better with Wayland, even if it introduces other issues".

His response was: "LOL! Yeah you can't even imagine how much worse it's gonna get. Pretty soon the Linux desktop will just be a little hammer that pops up and smashes your knuckles at random."
