Which is excellent news. XWayland isn't supported however. I guess that rules out Qt4.x, and thus we get to see Qt5 from the get-go. Which is also good news!

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?

Jolla mentioned on their twitter that these demo videos will be made available on a later date.

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?

Marginally on topic, but Lxde is moving to Qt (4.x) too and the developer said he is going to skip 5.0 for 5.1 because 5.1 has better support for X. No wayland there so for the time being.

Does Qt5 instead of Qt4 mean anything for the Python applications already ported to sailfish? I'm not sure, but I believe I've read somewhere that Python bindings aren't compatible (yet?) with Qt5. Is that correct?

Yes, unfortunately that is the case. PySide only works with Qt 4.8. Since Nokia sold Qt, it has become community maintained, and there are no solid Qt5 plans at the moment.

It's a real shame, as I've already ported my app to Silica/Sailfish (it runs great in the alpha SDK) - and now it turns out that it was a waste of my time. I have no experience with C++, but use Python every day.
