Building Xfce with full Wayland/Wayfire Support

Hello all,

I would like to build Xfce with full wayland support.  For example, the xfce-panel requires the following:

meson setup [build directoryl --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk-layer-shell=enabled

the -Dgtk-layer-shell=enabled parameter is required (under Fedora at least) for the panel to work correctly.  I'm curious if any other component would require a similar parameter?  The components in question are:

xfce4-panel   (requires -Dgtk-layer-shell=enabled)
xfdesktop
exo
libxfce4util
xfce4-appfinder
xfce4-session
xfconf
xfce4-power-manager
tumbler
garcon
thunar-volman
xfce4-dev-tools

thanks!!

Basically all you have to do is --auto-features=enabled
