	To a desktop not to an application.

	I use it often enough that I'd miss it, the authors of ssh found it
useful enough to add ssh -X and ssh -Y to support using it. So yes I think 
there's common use of it. It seems there's a waypipe that can achieve this
for Wayland, one day if tuits appear I might get round to trying it.

	Yes to both, Xwayland is still a thing and run by default and you
can run Wayland as an X client.
