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()
The dep allows us to check dep variables to discover supported
features. With the binary we assume none of the features are
supported. If a user forgets to install the pkg-config file (e.g.
because it's in a split package) we end up incorrectly disabling
all features. Instead let's error out.
`_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.
Check that the pkg-config file is available. This will be required
in the future to check whether xwayland supports features such as
-listenfd, -initfd or -verbose.
If there's no pkg-config file, check that the Xwayland executable
is available.
This effectively makes our relationship with xwayland closer to what
a dynamic library is: checked at build-time, but can be overridden
at run-time.
Bumps minimum version to 0.51.0
- Remove all intermediate static libraries.
They serve no purpose and are just add a bunch of boilerplate for
managing dependencies and options. It's now managed as a list of
files which are compiled into libwlroots directly.
- Use install_subdir instead of installing headers individually.
I've changed my mind since I did that. Listing them out is annoying as
hell, and it's easy to forget to do it.
- Add not_found_message for all of our optional dependencies that have a
meson option. It gives some hints about what option to pass and what
the optional dependency is for.
- Move all backend subdirectories into their own meson.build. This
keeps some of the backend-specific build logic (especially rdp and
session) more neatly separated off.
- Don't overlink example clients with code they're not using.
This was done by merging the protocol dictionaries and setting some
variables containing the code and client header file.
Example clients now explicitly mention what extension protocols they
want to link to.
- Split compositor example logic from client example logic.
- Minor formatting changes
Now message can look like:
[xwayland/xwm.c:991] xcb error: op ChangeProperty (no minor), code Window (no extension), value 6291465
instead of this one when the lib is not available:
[xwayland/xwm.c:999] xcb error: op 18:0, code 3, sequence 103, value 6291465
The value in case of Window is the window id, so we can tell what
function applied on which window which is a good start.
The sequence ought to be able to tell us more precisely which
invocation it was, but we never log it when calling functions
so is useless in practice and no longer logged.
