           Summary: input-method.xml has a factory for wl_keyboard causing
                    version conflict
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: ppaalanen at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: weston
           Product: Wayland

Request wl_input_method_context.grab_keyboard creates a new wl_keyboard object.

wl_seat.get_keyboard is the primary request for creating wl_keyboard objects.

This causes a runtime interface versioning conflict.

wl_keyboard in core is already at version 4, but you can only create
wl_keyboard version 1 via wl_input_method_context. You cannot bump
wl_input_method_context version without starting to get wl_keyboards of higher
version. The major problem comes, when you bump input-method interface version
beyond what is currently the highest version of wl_seat, and then someone adds
a new thing to wl_keyboard. Input-method would start dealing out wl_keyboards
automatically with a version claiming to support the new thing without clients
or servers ever implementing the support.

wl_input_method_context.grab_keyboard should not be creating objects of type
wl_keyboard, but the type should be unique for wl_input_method_context.
