EMBEDDING OTHER WINDOWS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X11 lets clients embed windows from other clients other copy pixmap |
|
|
|
|
contents rendered by another client into their window. This is often |
|
|
|
|
used for applets in a panel, browser plugins and similar. Wayland |
|
|
|
|
doesn't directly allow this, but clients can communicate GEM buffer |
|
|
|
|
names out-of-band, for example, using d-bus or as command line |
|
|
|
|
arguments when the panel launches the applet. Another option is to |
|
|
|
|
use a nested wayland instance. For this, the wayland server will have |
|
|
|
|
to be a library that the host application links to. The host |
|
|
|
|
application will then pass the wayland server socket name to the |
|
|
|
|
embedded application, and will need to implement the wayland |
|
|
|
|
compositor interface. The host application composites the client |
|
|
|
|
surfaces as part of it's window, that is, in the web page or in the |
|
|
|
|
panel. The benefit of nesting the wayland server is that it provides |
|
|
|
|
the requests the embedded client needs to inform the host about buffer |
|
|
|
|
updates and a mechanism for forwarding input events from the host |
|
|
|
|
application. |
