[PATCH] xdg_shell: Add a new shell protocol.

Thu Nov 7 01:32:11 PST 2013


xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term,
but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a
non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and
once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can
finally make it stable.
