As far as i can see, currently SDDM doesn't use X11 api directly.
However, there is no way to implement some features like keyboard layout, numlock controlling, with Qt only.
So I wonder what are policies against using X11 api?

You should implement using one of the following ways, in decreasing preference:

1. Fix using Qt in a cross platform manner.
2. Fix using a common library (e.g common between in X and wayland etc).
3. Fix using X functionality, but wrap it in a class/method. It should be easy to disable/remove this part in the future. And you should be using XCB not Xlib.
