Currently, upon activating a surface, wlroots restacks it on top of all
others.
This may not necessarily be correct from the calling compositor's point
of view, where having focus may not imply being top-of-stack (e.g.,
focusing a window under an always-on-top window).
In Sway's case, this means that focused tiling windows will always be on
top of floating windows, at least in the order communicated to X11 apps.
This breaks drag-and-drop from a focused tiling X11 window to a floating
X11 window which partially obscures the former.
This is a breaking change; to retain the previous behavior, users that
were calling
wlr_xwayland_surface_activate(xsurface, true);
should now be calling
wlr_xwayland_surface_activate(xsurface, true);
wlr_xwayland_surface_restack(xsurface, NULL, XCB_STACK_MODE_ABOVE);
This property is present on all modern X11 instances. The nonpresence of
it requires applications to fall back to XQueryTree-based logic to
determine stacking logic (e.g., to determine what surface should get
Xdnd events).
These code paths are effectively untested nowadays, so this makes it
more likely for wlroots to "break" applications. For instance, the
XQueryTree fallback path has been broken in Chromium for the last 10
years.
It's easy enough to maintain this property, so let's just do it.
Fixes#2889.
`_NET_WM_PID` is unreliable: it is optional and even if set it may
contain PIDs from sandbox namespaces or remote systems.
Prefer XRes v1.2 QueryClientIds method which returns PIDs as seen by the
Xwayland server.
wlroots' dependency on this library doesn't change the features
exposed to compositors. It's purely a wlroots implementation detail.
Thus downstream compositors shouldn't really care about it.
Introduce an "internal_features" dictionary to store the status of
such internal dependencies.
This dependency is already required by many other widely used X11
programs, such as i3, Qt, and other XWMs. So it should be available
on most systems.
X11 support can be pretty broken without xcb-icccm, with focus issues
for instance. Let's just remove this --please-break-my-desktop footgun
option.
Some X11 clients (e.g. Chromium, sxiv) don't set WM_HINTS. The spec
says:
> Window managers are free to assume convenient values for all fields of the
> WM_HINTS property if a window is mapped without one.
Our wlr_xwayland_icccm_input_model function assumes missing WM_HINTS
means the window doesn't want input, but this is incorrect. Assume the
window wants input unless it explicitly opts-out by setting WM_HINTS.

Previously, the clipboard and primary selections shared the same window.
This was racey, and could have led to pasting failures.
On xfixes selection owner change notification, the logic for requesting
the supported mimetypes of the new owner's selection looks like:
xcb_convert_selection(
xwm->xcb_conn,
selection->window,
selection->atom,
xwm->atoms[TARGETS],
xwm->atoms[WL_SELECTION],
selection->timestamp
);
This means ask the selection owner to write its TARGETS for the
`selection->atom` selection (one of PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, DND_SELECTION)
to `selection->window`'s WL_SELECTION atom.
However, `selection->window` is shared for both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
selections, and WL_SELECTION is used as the target atom in both cases.
So, there's a race when both selections change at the same time.
The CLIPBOARD selection might support mimetypes {A, B, C}, and the
PRIMARY only {A, B}. If the ConvertSelection requests/responses "cross
on the wire", so to speak, wlroots can end up believing that the PRIMARY
selection also supports C.
A Wayland client may then ask for the PRIMARY selection in C format,
which will fail with "convert selection failed".
This commit fixes this by using a separate window for PRIMARY and
CLIPBOARD target requests, so that WL_SELECTION can be used as the
target atom in both cases.
wlroots would log "Unhandled NET_WM_STATE property change" log
messages for atoms we know about. Simplify the code structure
and remove these extra messages.
In certain situations windows can have their input field set to false
but still expect to receive input focus by passively listening to key
presses via a parent window. The ICCCM specification outlines how focus
should be given to clients.

Certain clients require this property to be set for expected behavior.
Most notably, steam client CSD maximize button no longer worked
after unmaximizing once, unless the state was changed by another
method. The state is unset whenever another surface gains focus.
If Xwayland is restarted, the ready handler assumes there is no xwm instance.
This means all of xwm was leaked on Xwayland restart. This caused compositors
to consume all cpu resources, where time is spent dispatching. Now we destroy
xwm if we get an event mask containing WL_EVENT_HANGUP or WL_EVENT_ERROR.
This fixes issues with (at least) dialogs in Jetbrains IDEs becoming
unclickable if they ever lost focus (ref. swaywm/sway#5373). Prior to
this change, since `xwm->focus_surface` would be set prior to
`xwm_surface_activate` being called, the latter would short-circuit
immediately and not notify the application of the focus change.
Previously, some atoms had a leading underscore, others didn't. Be more
consistent and never use a leading underscore (symbols with a leading
underscore followed by an upper-case letter are reserved).
Without this information, compositors have no way to tell whether
or not to consider the position information valid. Most notably,
a compositor needs to know if it should pick a position for the
surface or use the position sent in the configure request.
This commit makes sure surface->mapped is true when the unmapped event is
emitted. This is necessary because listeners can only damage surfaces that are
mapped. This is similar to the fact that the destroy event is emitted before
any destruction is actually made.
Fixes https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3568
Since xwm only manipulates the stack when focusing a window, newly
mapped windows should be stacked below the focused window. This prevents
the newly mapped window from stealing focus due to being on the top of
the stack.
