Currently, Xwayland assigns sequential output names for XRandR. When an output is hotplugged, a new name is assigned sequentially (XWAYLAND0, XWAYLAND1, etc.). This is a problem because if a monitor is unplugged and plugged again, it will get a new name each time. Luckily, xdg-output provides us with a name for the outputs. Even though the protocol states that the name is not a reflection of the underlying DRM connector name, it is to remain consistent across sessions with the same hardware and software configuration. So we could use the xdg-output name for the XRandR reported name for the output. Doing so is a bit tricky though, because the output name is set at creation and is not supposed to change. The xdg-output event that provides us with the name will come at a later time. So we just allocate a default fixed size for the output name at creation and just replace the default output name with the xdg-output name when that is known. Also, historically, some X11 clients were expecting output names in Xwayland to be named XWAYLAND<x> and used that to check whether they were running on Xwayland. Those clients should now use the Xwayland X11 extension which is designed specifically for that purpose.

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.
