Excellent, thanks.

FYI and AFAICT, upstream is actually still at wlroots 0.18:

Upstream's ``submodules/wlroots`` points to
https://github.com/misyltoad/wlroots/tree/54e844748029d4874e14d0c086d50092c04c8899
and then ``meson.build`` indicates wlroots 0.18.
Also https://github.com/misyltoad/wlroots is forked from
https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots which has been archived on 2021-11-02.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/ is the new upstream
repo location.

OTOH, it looks like upstream has the (IMO) most qualified help to
(initially) upgrade to 0.19 and later probably to 0.20 ... (one of)
the upstream maintainers of wlroots itself :-)

"Bump wlroots to v0.19":
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/1990

"Do proper wayland teardown cleaning up listeners and fds":
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/2066

HTH,
