<pre>Currently Wayland clients have no way of knowing if their menus/subwindows are
going to be placed offscreen. If they are near the bottom of the screen,
currently the menus go offscreen.
In other environments, applications will place the menu going up the top of the
window instead if it doesn't fit.
Rob Bradford had a protocol to probe a given reigon, and an implementation, but
it was never merged

For desktop usability, a similar protocol should be added to XDG_Shell, for the
clients to be able to use</pre>
