c61399a0cc xdg-shell: warn about putting UI outside of window geometry
There should only be decoration outside of it, no functional UI elements. This
is especially important on some compositors that clip windows to their window
geometry in some situations (like when it's in a tile).

86750c99ed xdg-shell: Add edge constraints
An edge constraint is an complementery state to the tiled state, meaning
that it's not only tiled, but constrained in a way that it can't resize
in that direction.

This typically means that the constrained edge is tiled against a
monitor edge. An example configuration is two windows tiled next to each
other on a single monitor. Together they cover the whole work area.

The left window would have the following tiled and edge constraint
state:

  [ tiled_top, tiled_right, tiled_bottom, tiled_left,
    constrained_top, constrained_bottom, constrained_left ]

while the right window would have the following:

  [ tiled_top, tiled_right, tiled_bottom, tiled_left,
    constrained_top, constrained_bottom, constrained_right ]

This aims to replace and deprecate the `gtk_surface1.configure_edges`
event and the `gtk_surface1.edge_constraint` enum.

b4a42c88f4 xdg-shell: clarify clients set their initial state before initial commit
It wasn't clear that it's important clients set up their initial
xdg_surface state before they send the initial commit. This is
required for the compositor to be able to send a proper configure
event depending on size constraints and any policies it might want
to apply (e.g. specific app ID always shows up in a designated
workspace).

c5b47dc928 various: Fix definition of double-buffered state
The strict "mailbox" model of wayland past is not how modern compositors
process commits, and many explanations of how double buffered state is
applied throughout wayland-protocols are no longer strictly accurate.

Instead of trying to define double-buffered state at every point of use,
just reference the evolving definition of wl_surface.commit.

This still leaves a few old definitions that weren't trivially updated.

46f201bd7b xdg-shell: Clarify what a toplevel by default includes
xdg-shell assumes that the client provides all parts of a toplevel
window, i.e. things like titlebar, drop shadow. There are already things
here and there implies it, but it could be helpful to spell it out.

This doesn't change any semantics - it's still valid, from the
perspective of the protocol, to create a toplevel without any
decorations, and it always has been, it just means that the semantical
intention is for them to be exactly so.

c124b641b3 xdg-shell: Add suspended toplevel state
Add a toplevel state to indicate that surface repaints have been
suspended. This may arise due to occlusion, output power state, etc.

In this state, clients can choose to take meaningful action such as
suspending any processing which would drive a repaint loop, or
communicating to the active browser tab that the tab is not
system-visible, or any other action that would be taken by a client not
expecting to repaint until further notice.

115ba71872 xdg-shell: ack_configure must be strictly monotonic
Clients must send ack_configure in a strictly monotonic order wrt
received configure events. It is an error to send an ack_configure
request for a configure event which was sent prior to the last
ack_configure for that surface, or to send multiple ack_configures for
the same configure event.

Weston and wlroots already use this interpretation, however Mutter and
KWayland are more lax and allow duplicates. This clarification tightens
the spec working to explicitly encode the Weston/wlroots behaviour.

11fecf0808 xdg-shell: Make xdg_surface fail when surface has role
It is illegal for a surface to have more than one role. The only thing
which can be done with an xdg_surface (apart from destroying it) is to
assign the surface a role with the get_toplevel, get_popup, etc
requests.

On Mutter, calling get_xdg_surface on a surface which already has an
assigned role generates the 'role' protocol error. Weston will not send
an error, however it may later abort on a failed assert during cleanup.
wlroots allows this case, and only sends the role error when assigning
an explicit role through creating a toplevel or popup.

On the grounds that it makes no sense to create an xdg_surface for a
wl_surface which already has a role, make it explicitly illegal.

26f494edb0 xdg-shell: Add support for explicit popup repositioning
This commit adds protocol additions making it possible to request that a
popup should be repositioned according to a new xdg_positioner object.

Explicit popup moving is done using a new request on xdg_popup:
xdg_popup.reposition. What it does is change the parameters used for
positioning a popup by providing a new xdg_positioner object. This
request is coupled with a new event; xdg_popup.repositioned, sent
together with the configure events (xdg_popup.configure and
xdg_surface.configure) to notify about the completion of the reposition
request. The reposition request also takes a token that is later passed
via the repositioned event; this is done so that a client may determine
for which reposition request the compositor has sent configure events.

Synchronization between surfaces to avoid state application race
condition are deliberately left out, and should be handled by an
external protocol.

To brief the compositor of the future dimension of the parent that the
compositor should position the popup against, a
xdg_positioner.set_parent_size request is added.

Lastly, a request to couple a xdg_positioner object with a parent
configure event is added (xdg_positioner.set_parent_configure) in
order for a compositor to pair a popup reposition request with a pending
configure event, and it's resulting window geometry. This is necessary
to, for example, properly constrain a popup given a future parent state.
An example of when this may be necessary is an interactive resize where
both the toplevel position and the relative popup position changes.

ebbad29e3f xdg-shell: Add support for implicit popup repositioning
This commit adds protocol additions making it possible to implicitly
reposition an already mapped popup if the conditions for the constraint
changed (e.g. toplevel moved).

Implicit popup moving is done by setting a adjustment flag on the
positioner used to create it that will cause the compositor to adjust
the position as the conditions used to constrain it change.

These changes may include, for example, changes in the position of the
parent window or the geometry of the work area. To allow the client to
update its content in response to the updated position, the client must
ack the configure event, optionally with new content. Until the client
acks this configure event, the existing positioner will continue to be
used.

Implicit repositioning by itself is racy regarding inter-surface
synchronization of applied state. Inter-surface synchronization is
deliberately left out of xdg-shell, and left to be handled externally.

e0d6ad1d5e xdg-shell: use case to change the app ID at runtime
LibreOffice is one big binary with explicit brandings for different
application modules. This is represented in X11 by a different
WM_CLASS setting for a window. The WM_CLASS is changed based on the
loaded document at runtime. As a result LibreOffice already offers
multiple desktop files with different icons, StartupWMClass
entries and application names.

This amendment of the set_app_id request just explicitly specifies
the use case to change a surfaces' app ID at runtime, so a compositor
implementor is made aware of it. Just as the WM_CLASS, a change of
the app ID should result in an update of the propertes of a surface
depending on the app ID, like the window icon specified in the
desktop file or a re-grouping of the surfaces in a task manager.

f68bafc9c3 xdg-shell: Soften fullscreen geometry requirements
Having a strict requirement on clients obeying the configured window
geometry for fullscreen toplevel surfaces might have the side effect of
making it harder or impossible to implement various hardware
optimizations on certain system configurations. By softening
requirements on the geometry while loosely defining the border fill, we
remove that restriction.

Clients that still want total control of the surrounding area can
still for example prepare the attached buffers to match the configured
surface size, or use subsurfaces in combination with wp_viewporter to
make up a surface matching the fullscreen window geometry dimensions.
