I'm not the right person for this topic, but I think it would be helpful if you explain the use case, possibly giving examples. |

Portals and their mapping to compositors are currently configured via files. Some of these files require root permissions to create.
This is a problem for compositors that are not installed via the system package manager and don't have any natural way to create such files.
Would it instead be possible to create a wayland protocol that xdg-desktop-portal can use to retrieve this information from the compositor it is running under? This would be a more direct approach than using the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and would allow compositors to fully integrate with xdg-desktop-portal without having to modify the file system.
