The reason for this change was that (i) the KMS state + is undefined when a VT is switched away; and (ii) the previous outputs had + issues with restoration, particularly when the output configuration had + changed whilst switched away. This change causes two issues for users: + - Some layer-shell clients do not re-appear on output re-connection, or may + appear on a different output. Whilst this has always been the case, it will + now also happen in said situations. We recommend layer-shell clients to + handle the new-output and surface-destroy signals to achieve desired + behaviours. + - Some Gtk clients issue critical warnings as they assume that at least one + output is always available. This will be fixed in `Gtk-3.24.50`. It is + believed to be a harmless warning, but it can be avoided by running labwc + with the environment variable `LABWC_FALLBACK_OUTPUT=NOOP-fallback` to + temporarily create a fallback-output when the last physical display + disconnects.
