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).
Translating the right/bottom coordinates from offsets to absolute
coordinates in wlroots (rather than in the compositor) was supposed to
be more reliable, since wlroots had access to the X11 screen size.
It ended up being less reliable, because the screen size values
(xwm->screen->width_in_pixels/height_in_pixels) are not updated when the
output layout changes.
So let's remove the translation from wlroots, and let the compositor
figure it out. From what I can understand of the current XWayland code,
the X11 screen size should generally match the overall wlr_output_layout
bounding box, which the compositor has access to.
Instead of sending one request, waiting for the reply, and
repeating for all properties we're interested in, we can send all
property requests in one go and then wait for the server to reply.
We'll soon introduce a unified wlr_surface map event. Up until now, compositors
have been using wlr_xwayland_surface's map event to setup various wlr_surface
related listeners (e.g. commit). This will no longer be possible when that
event is moved over to wlr_surface. Introduce new events where the compositor
can add/remove wlr_surface event listeners.
X11 clients expect a ConfigureNotify after a ConfigureRequest. If
the compositor/window manager chooses not to honor the request
(e.g. due to the window being maximized), XWayland will not send a
"real" ConfigureNotify event and the window manager is expected to
send a synthetic event instead. Otherwise, the X11 client is left
waiting and may not repaint its window properly.
For comparison, see Openbox's client_configure() or Weston's
weston_wm_window_send_configure_notify().
v2: Move logic to wlr_xwayland_surface_configure()
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()
If a window is unmapped too quickly, we might receive UnmapNotify before
we get the corresponding wl_surface, which will later lead to
associating the same window twice. To fix this, move the NULL surface
check to xwayland_surface_dissociate(), which makes resetting the
unpaired link and the wl_surface object ID unconditional.

Rename xwm_map_shell_surface() to xwayland_surface_associate().
This function doesn't actually "map" the surface in Wayland
parlance, the wl_surface may not have a buffer attached yet.
Always keep it initialized, so that we don't have to check for
xsurface->surface_id.
Will help with WL_SURFACE_SERIAL support, which adds a new way for
a surface to be unpaired.
This allows whatever the user calls from the signal handlers to react to observe
the new state rather than the old, e.g. that a surface is no longer mapped in
the unmap handler.
The original commit introduced a bug by transposing the order of
some of the fields in xcb_size_hints_t. Since XCB ICCCM support is
required now, we can just eliminate the duplicate structs.
With minor changes:
- Remove #ifdef HAS_XCB_ICCCM guards
- Fix #includes
- Fix references to local size_hints struct
This reverts commit 12b9b1a4bd.
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.

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.
