However.. No XWayland support (and no Qt4.x) might limit the portability of apps from desktop-space? While it likely wouldn't be a design goal of Jolla, I'd still like the idea of hooking up a mobile to an HDMI screen, pairing a bt keyboard and mouse, and use it as a (admittedly somewhat limited) desktop, running full KDE. Is this correct? Or would it be trivial to add XWayland by the community using community-based repositories?
AFAIK 4.8 can run under wayland support? But I can remember wrong...

Starts make me think when will KDE go to 5.x series? I heard that Wayland will not be added to KDEDesktop until Q3 2014? I hope Qt5 and QtQuick2 comes before to make it easier port apps between the platforms. Also plasma active will run Qt5+wayland if I rememer correct?
