xdg_shell: Adding a new shell protocol.

Browse Source 
xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term,
but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a
non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and
once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can
finally make it stable.

It provides mainly two new interfaces: xdg_surface and xdg_popup.

The xdg_surface interface implements a desktop-style window, that can be
moved, resized, maximized, etc. It provides a request for creating
child/parent relationship, called xdg_surface.set_transient_for.

The xdg_popup interface implements a desktop-style popup/menu. A
xdg_popup is always transient for another surface, and also has implicit
grab.

An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for

It provides requests to treat surfaces like windows, allowing to set
properties like maximized, fullscreen, minimized, and to move and resize

On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
the related wl_surface is destroyed. On client side,
xdg_surface.destroy() must be called before destroying
the wl_surface object.

The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.
The size is a hint, in the sense that the client is free to
ignore it if it doesn't resize, pick a smaller size (to
satisfy aspect ratio or resize in steps of NxM pixels).
The edges parameter provides a hint about how the surface
was resized. The client may use this information to decide
how to adjust its content to the new size (e.g. a scrolling
area might adjust its content position to leave the viewable
content unmoved). Valid edge values are from resize_edge enum.
The client is free to dismiss all but the last configure
event it received.
The width and height arguments specify the size of the window
in surface local coordinates.

When fullscreen or maximized state are set on this surface, and it
wasn't mapped yet, the output set with this method will be used.
Otherwise, the output where the surface is currently mapped will be
used.

<event name="request_set_fullscreen">
<description summary="server requests that the client set fullscreen">
Event sent from the compositor to the client requesting that the client

<event name="request_unset_fullscreen">

</description>
</event>
<request name="set_fullscreen">
<description summary="set the surface state as fullscreen">
Set the surface as fullscreen.
After this request, the compositor should send a configure event
informing the output size.
This request informs the compositor that the next attached buffer
committed will be in a fullscreen state. The buffer size should be the
same size as the size informed in the configure event, if the client
doesn't want to leave any empty area.
In other words: the next attached buffer after set_maximized is the new
maximized buffer. And the surface will be positioned at the maximized
position on commit.
A simple way to synchronize and wait for the correct configure event is
to use a wl_display.sync request right after the set_fullscreen
request. When the sync callback returns, the last configure event
received just before it will be the correct one, and should contain the
right size for the surface to maximize.
Setting one state won't unset another state. Use
xdg_surface.unset_fullscreen for unsetting it.

After this request, the compositor will send a configure event

This request informs the compositor that the next attached buffer

<interface name="xdg_popup" version="1">
<description summary="desktop-style metadata interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style popups/menus. A popup
surface is a transient surface with an added pointer grab.
An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode,
and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends
(i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to be
unmapped).
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
button is pressed in any other clients window. A click in any of
the clients surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in
other clients surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
The x and y arguments specify the locations of the upper left
corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
parent surface, in surface local coordinates.
xdg_popup surfaces are always transient for another surface.
