Profile status

XFCE on X11 with Xfwm4 is the first-release target and historical supported profile. The repository’s docs/compatibility/support-manifest.yaml marks the complete profile implemented-unverified: its distribution and build are not pinned and same-commit CI and real-session smoke are pending. An automated baseline or a packaging recipe is not proof of a fully verified release profile.

The manifest marks GNOME Wayland, macOS and Windows blocked, and Plasma Wayland experimental. The existence of adapters or integration code does not establish release support. Capabilities are reported individually; a request delivered to a window manager is not necessarily an applied change.

Diagnose and report a problem

Consult XFCE troubleshooting and the user guide first. When reporting a problem, describe the steps, expected and observed behavior, Tessera version (tessera --version), operating system and version, session type, window manager and relevant error messages. tessera --debug-info may help identify the session and unavailable capabilities. For window-specific problems, tessera debug windows --include-unmanaged --redact-window-titles can show what the backend sees.

Review all output before sharing: diagnostics and configuration can contain application names, paths, window data or other private information. Redacting window titles does not make every other field private. Remove secrets and unrelated personal data, and do not post sensitive security details publicly; follow the repository’s SECURITY.md for security reports.

To report an issue or ask for help, use the Tessera issues on GitHub (address taken from the repository’s origin remote; this page does not assert that the repository is public).
