<description summary="desktop-style metadata interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.
It provides requests to treat surfaces like windows, allowing to set
properties like maximized, fullscreen, minimized, and to move and resize
them, and associate metadata like title and app id.
On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
the related wl_surface is destroyed. On client side,
xdg_surface.destroy() must be called before destroying
the wl_surface object.

its role as a xdg_surface. The wl_surface is unmapped.

the given position, relative to the parent surface. There are
no guarantees as to what the window menu contains.
Your surface must have focus on the seat passed in to pop up the
window menu.

<enum name="state">
<description summary="types of state on the surface">
The different state values used on the surface. This is designed for
state values like maximized, fullscreen. It is paired with the
configure event to ensure that both the client and the compositor
setting the state can be synchronized.
States set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on
the next commit.
Desktop environments may extend this enum by taking up a range of
values and documenting the range they chose in this description.
They are not required to document the values for the range that they
chose. Ideally, any good extensions from a desktop environment should
make its way into standardization into this enum.
The current reserved ranges are:
0x0000 - 0x0FFF: xdg-shell core values, documented below.
0x1000 - 0x1FFF: GNOME
</description>
<entry name="maximized" value="1" summary="the surface is maximized">
The surface is maximized. The window geometry specified in the configure
event must be obeyed by the client.

The surface is fullscreen. The window geometry specified in the configure
event must be obeyed by the client.
</entry>
<entry name="resizing" value="3">
The surface is being resized. The window geometry specified in the
configure event is a maximum; the client cannot resize beyond it.
Clients that have aspect ratio or cell sizing configuration can use
a smaller size, however.

Client window decorations should be painted as if the window is
active. Do not assume this means that the window actually has
keyboard or pointer focus.

<description summary="suggest a surface change">
The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.
The width and height arguments specify a hint to the window
about how its surface should be resized in window geometry
coordinates. The states listed in the event specify how the
width/height arguments should be interpreted.
A client should arrange a new surface, and then send a
ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure
event before attaching a new surface.
If the client receives multiple configure events before it
can respond to one, it is free to discard all but the last
event it received.

<description summary="ack a configure event">
When a configure event is received, a client should then ack it
using the ack_configure request to ensure that the compositor
knows the client has seen the event.
By this point, the state is confirmed, and the next attach should
contain the buffer drawn for the configure event you are acking.

<request name="set_window_geometry">
<description summary="set the new window geometry">
The window geometry of a window is its "visible bounds" from the
user's perspective. Client-side decorations often have invisible
portions like drop-shadows which should be ignored for the
purposes of aligning, placing and constraining windows.
The default value is the full bounds of the surface, including any
subsurfaces. Once the window geometry of the surface is set once,
it is not possible to unset it, and it will remain the same until
set_window_geometry is called again, even if a new subsurface or
buffer is attached.
If responding to a configure event, the window geometry in here
must respect the sizing negotiations specified by the states in
the configure event.

window. The client may choose to ignore this request, or show
a dialog to ask the user to save their data...

<interface name="xdg_popup" version="1">
<description summary="desktop-style metadata interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style popups/menus. A popup
surface is a transient surface with an added pointer grab.
An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode,
and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends
(i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to be
unmapped).
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
button is pressed in any other clients window. A click in any of
the clients surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in
other clients surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
The x and y arguments specify the locations of the upper left
corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
parent surface, in surface local coordinates.
xdg_popup surfaces are always transient for another surface.
