Using the existing command line option "-listen" for passing file descriptors between the Wayland compositor and Xwayland is misleading, Xwayland should add is own command line option for that specific use. As XWayland is spawned by the Wayland compositor, we cannot just change the option, as that would break all existing Wayland compositors using Xwayland, so we add a new options "-listenfd" and mark the previous one as deprecated and log a warning, but it still works for backward compatibility.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
