Instead of calling xcb_flush() directly, wait until the FD is
writable.
Ideally we'd have a non-blocking variant instead of xcb_flush(),
but libxcb doesn't have this. Also libxcb blocks when its internal
buffer is full, but not much we can do here.
The infrastructure to read _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE already exists in wlroots
(it's used for example in wlr_xwayland_or_surface_wants_focus()). But
the window type isn't easily accessible to the compositor because the
atoms to compare against are private to xwm.c.
labwc has recently gone to a fair amount of effort (including opening a
whole new xcb connection) just to get the needed window type atoms:
a04b394e59
It seems much cleaner to add the remaining few (3) atoms to wlroots and
implement a shared function which can be used by any wlroots compositor.
v2: naming updates
This is especially useful if the compositor wants to support X11
panels to control windows. Without the signal a compositor does
have to hook into the user_event_handler callback but that would
not change the _NET_SUPPORTED root window property.
In labwc, we have had trouble with XWayland windows using the Globally
Active input model (see wlr_xwayland_icccm_input_model()). Under
traditional X11, these windows do not expect to be given focus directly
by the window manager; rather, the WM sends them a WM_TAKE_FOCUS message
prompting the client to take focus voluntarily.
Currently, these clients are difficult to support with wlroots, because
wlr_xwayland_surface_activate() assumes the client window will always
accept the keyboard focus after being sent WM_TAKE_FOCUS. Some Globally
Active client windows (e.g. panels/toolbars) don't want to be focused.
It's useless at best to focus them, and might even make them misbehave.
Others do need keyboard focus to be functional -- and there doesn't seem
to be any reliable way to know this in advance.
Adding wlr_xwayland_surface_offer_focus() allows the compositor to send
WM_TAKE_FOCUS to a client window supporting it and then see whether the
client accepts or ignores the offer. If it accepts, the surface will emit
the focus_in signal notifying the compositor that it has received focus.
This is entirely opt-in. A compositor that doesn't want to use the new
function can continue to call wlr_xwayland_surface_activate() directly
just as before.
This function allows compositors to set the _NET_WORKAREA property on
the root window. XWayland clients use _NET_WORKAREA to determine how
much of the screen is not covered by panels/docks. The property is used
for example by Qt to determine areas of the screen that popup menus
should not overlap (see QScreen::availableVirtualGeometry).
This is needed for compositors that want to reserve space for
XWayland panels. Such a feature can be useful in a "transitional"
setup, where only the X11 window manager and compositor is replaced
but other components of an X11 desktop environment are still used.
This change simply reads the X11 property; the compositor is free
to ignore it. Thus, compositors that don't want to support such a
"transitional" feature are not impacted.
v2: Update xwayland_surface_associate()
This avoids re-building the whole project when switching one
Meson option. This shrinks down the compiler invocation command
line, making it more readable and making it easier to inspect
which flags are passed in (the generated file can be opened).
Additionally this is more consistent with our external feature
handling, which uses <wlr/config.h> already.
A launchee notifies with a "remove"¹ message when done starting up.
Catch these and forward to the compositor. This allows the compositor to
end the startup sequence that might have been started by another
protocol like xdg-activation.
We don't handle other messages since we expect the launcher to use a
wayland protocol like xdg-activation.
While `_NET_STARTUP_ID` helps to associate toplevels with startup-ids
this signals the end of the startup sequence.

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 fixes the following warning:
WARNING: Project targeting '>=0.56.0' but tried to use feature deprecated since '0.56.0': Dependency.get_pkgconfig_variable. use Dependency.get_variable(pkgconfig : ...) instead
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.
Instead of walking PATH like a previous proposal [1], this one
checks that the Xwayland path specified in the pkg-config file
exists.
I think this is a reasonable compromise:
- Users that don't have Xwayland installed system-wide won't get
a bogus DISPLAY env variable set up.
- Users that have WLR_XWAYLAND set won't be affected by this check.
- Users that have Xwayland installed system-wide and a different
Xwayland in their PATH still get their custom Xwayland.
- Users that don't have Xwayland installed system-wide but have it
somewhere else in PATH are left out. But this is pretty niche,
and they can just set WLR_XWAYLAND.

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.
This commit introduces logic for using a new X11 window for each
incoming transfer, rather than having a global window for each selection
source.
This eliminates a whole class of bugs involving multiple concurrent
incoming transfers.
For now, we retain the outgoing transfer queue, and the selection
source-specific windows to support it. Source-specific windows are no
longer used in the incoming path, and will be removed in a future PR.
Refs #1497.
Previously, Xwayland could restart, and we'd get events for transfers
pointing to the previous (now freed) xwm instance. This led to
use-after-free segfaults.
Closes#2565.
Apart from reducing duplication, this has the positive side-effect of
allowing all deallocs to use
`xwm_selection_transfer_destroy_property_reply`, as opposed to the
latter and a mix of ad-hoc `free`s.
Previously, wlr_xwm_selection_transfer.source_fd meant:
- the source of data in a Wayland -> X11 copy (good)
- the destination of data in a X11 -> Wayland copy (confusing)
This made reading through xwayland/selection/incoming.c difficult: in
many places, "source" actually means "destination".
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.
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).
