The workspace manager interface purpose is to provide clients with control and knowledge about the current workspace state. Initially only one function and one event exists; moving a surface and state updated event. A workspace is represented as an index in a 1 dimensional array. A client keeps track of the state by being broadcasted events when the state changes, currently limited to current workspace or number of workspaces available. A client can send an asynchronous request to the manager asking to move a surface to workspace identified by an index. It is up to the shell to actually move it.

Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
