[gst-devel] X dependencies

[Julien MOUTTE]

The issue with XOverlay comes from the fact that we moved the
have_video_size signal into it renaming it to desired_size_changed
because Benjamin wanted that...

It's not really X specific to signal the video geometry and i agree with
thomasvs that it should go somewhere else.

Putting it in the videosink high level class was wrong to benjamin as
some elements might implement XOverlay without being a video sink
child..

I suggest splitting that feature in another interface implemented by
videosinks or other elements needing to report video geometry.
