Prompts e.g. authentication request from firefox-wayland ought to be
floating.
This is a bit coarse but just fixed size is not enough, here is what
firefox does:
[1285461.363] -> xdg_wm_base@18.get_xdg_surface(new id xdg_surface@68, wl_surface@71)
[1285461.508] -> xdg_surface@68.get_toplevel(new id xdg_toplevel@67)
[1285461.571] -> xdg_toplevel@67.set_parent(xdg_toplevel@37)
[1285461.630] -> xdg_toplevel@67.set_title("Authentication Required")
[1285461.736] -> xdg_toplevel@67.set_app_id("firefox")
...
[1285476.549] xdg_toplevel@67.configure(0, 0, array)
...
[1285502.080] -> xdg_toplevel@67.set_min_size(299, 187)
[1285502.140] -> xdg_toplevel@67.set_max_size(1920, 32767)
This can also be observed with e.g. the open window of gedit
(gedit->open->other documents)
