Jonas Ådahl 7ef8c9144d xdg-shell: Document the set_maximized and unsetmaximized requests 
This patch changes the semantics (compared to the previous version of
this patch) of maximizing/unmaximizing an already maximized/unmaximized
surface to always result in a configure event. Doing it this way would
be more consistent with how the compositor works regarding other
configure events i.e. send many, letting the client ignore when needed
(for example during resize).

<description summary="A desktop window">
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.
The client must call wl_surface.commit on the corresponding wl_surface
for the xdg_surface state to take effect. Prior to committing the new
state, it can set up initial configuration, such as maximizing or setting
a window geometry.
Even without attaching a buffer the compositor must respond to initial
committed configuration, for instance sending a configure event with
expected window geometry if the client maximized its surface during
initialization.
For a surface to be mapped by the compositor the client must have
committed both an xdg_surface state and a buffer.

The app ID identifies the general class of applications to which

surfaces together, or to determine how to launch a new application.
For D-Bus activatable applications, the app ID is used as the D-Bus
service name.
The compositor shell will try to group application surfaces together
by their app ID. As a best practice, it is suggested to select app
ID's that match the basename of the application's .desktop file.
For example, "org.freedesktop.FooViewer" where the .desktop file is
"org.freedesktop.FooViewer.desktop".
See the desktop-entry specification [0] for more details on
application identifiers and how they relate to well-known D-Bus
names and .desktop files.

<description summary="suggest a surface change">
The configure event asks the client to resize its surface or to
change its state.
The width and height arguments specify a hint to the window
about how its surface should be resized in window geometry
coordinates. See set_window_geometry.
If the width or height arguments are zero, it means the client
should decide its own window dimension. This may happen when the
compositor need to configure the state of the surface but doesn't
have any information about any previous or expected dimension.
The states listed in the event specify how the width/height
arguments should be interpreted, and possibly how it should be
drawn.
Clients should arrange their surface for the new size and
states, and then send a ack_configure request with the serial
sent in this configure event at some point before committing
the 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.

When a configure event is received, if a client commits the

For instance, the compositor might use this information to move
a surface to the top left only when the client has drawn itself

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 window geometry is double buffered, and will be applied at the
time wl_surface.commit of the corresponding wl_surface is called.
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 never set, the value is the full bounds of the surface,
including any subsurfaces. This updates dynamically on every
commit. This unset mode is meant for extremely simple clients.
If responding to a configure event, the window geometry in here
must respect the sizing negotiations specified by the states in
the configure event.
The arguments are given in the surface local coordinate space of
the wl_surface associated with this xdg_surface.
The width and height must be greater than zero.

<request name="set_maximized">
<description summary="maximize the window">
Maximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be maximized, the compositor
will respond by emitting a configure event with the "maximized" state
and the required window geometry. The client should then update its
content, drawing it in a maximized state, i.e. without shadow or other
decoration outside of the window geometry. The client must also
acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see
ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to decide how and where to maximize the
surface, for example which output and what region of the screen should
be used.
If the surface was already maximized, the compositor will still emit
a configure event with the "maximized" state.
</description>

<request name="unset_maximized">
<description summary="unmaximize the window">
Unmaximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be unmaximized, the compositor
will respond by emitting a configure event without the "maximized"
state. If available, the compositor will include the window geometry
dimensions the window had prior to being maximized in the configure
request. The client must then update its content, drawing it in a
regular state, i.e. potentially with shadow, etc. The client must also
acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see
ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to position the surface after it was
unmaximized; usually the position the surface had before maximizing, if
applicable.
If the surface was already not maximized, the compositor will still
emit a configure event without the "maximized" state.

<interface name="xdg_popup" version="1">
<description summary="short-lived, popup surfaces for menus">
A popup surface is a short-lived, temporary surface that can be
used to implement menus. It takes an explicit grab on the surface
that will be dismissed when the user dismisses the popup. This can
be done by the user clicking outside the surface, using the keyboard,
or even locking the screen through closing the lid or a timeout.
When the popup is dismissed, a popup_done event will be sent out,
and at the same time the surface will be unmapped. The xdg_popup
object is now inert and cannot be reactivated, so clients should
destroy it. Explicitly destroying the xdg_popup object will also
dismiss the popup and unmap the surface.
Clients will receive events for all their surfaces during this
grab (which is an "owner-events" grab in X11 parlance). This is
done so that users can navigate through submenus and other
"nested" popup windows without having to dismiss the topmost
popup.
Clients that want to dismiss the popup when another surface of
their own is clicked should dismiss the popup using the destroy
request.
The parent surface must have either an xdg_surface or xdg_popup
role.
Specifying an xdg_popup for the parent means that the popups are
nested, with this popup now being the topmost popup. Nested
popups must be destroyed in the reverse order they were created
in, e.g. the only popup you are allowed to destroy at all times
is the topmost one.
If there is an existing popup when creating a new popup, the
parent must be the current topmost popup.
A parent surface must be mapped before the new popup is mapped.
When compositors choose to dismiss a popup, they will likely
dismiss every nested popup as well. When a compositor dismisses
popups, it will follow the same dismissing order as required
from the client.
The x and y arguments passed when creating the popup object specify
where the top left of the popup should be placed, relative to the
local surface coordinates of the parent surface. See
xdg_shell.get_xdg_popup.
The client must call wl_surface.commit on the corresponding wl_surface
for the xdg_popup state to take effect.
For a surface to be mapped by the compositor the client must have
committed both the xdg_popup state and a buffer.
