yep, this seems cool. I'm facing issues while implementing popup menu 
now as well, but I'm not seeing any "infinite loop" as you described. 
Anyways.

I've made a little progress with xwayland, testing on both -intel and 
-wlshm drivers. Here are the WIP trees:

     http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~vignatti/xserver/log/?h=xwayland-1.12
     http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~vignatti/weston/log/?h=xserver

For tooltips, I took the Firefox's as example, and assumed that would 
always have a parent window. But now I'm seeing this's wrong, because 
for instance gnome-help have tooltips without parent. And that was a 
really lame assumption of mine, because tooltips even don't need a 
parent at all -- it follows the cursor. So what's the plan here? Do you 
think we need to add set_tooltip for wl_shell_surface interface? I'm 
interested also in hearing where we'll put UTILITY type of windows then.


have nice weekend all!
