--- Comment #3 from x414e54 at linux.com ---
I prefer just being able to give the compositor a hint of what it should do if
it does not fit. Something like flip-x, flip-y, resize-w, resize-h, nothing,
scale parent surface. 

Though I think compositors will already automatically do some of this depending
on if it is a popup or child/transient surface.

Probing does not make sense as if your surface is full-screen on one output and
normal on another output you would have to place the sub-surface inside the
main surface on all outputs even if it would be fine in the correct position on
the non full-screen output. 

If you give the compositor a hint and let it take care of it then it can place
it differently on different outputs.
