[PATCH weston 00/11] Per ouput workspaces

[Jonas Ådahl]

Hi,

This series adds per-output workspaces to the desktop shell of weston.
The major change is how toplevel surfaces are managed by the shell
plugin. Before, surfaces were always kept in layers and workspaces was
implemented by attaching/detaching layers associated with workspaces.

After changing so that a workspace only spans over one output but its
surfaces may be visible on multiple outputs it becomes necessary to be
able to keep track of stacking order across workspaces. To solve this,
"shell: Manage toplevel surfaces on all workspaces in one list"
introduces a different structure of storing surfaces, which is managing
all surfaces that can placed in a workspace in a per-shell surface-list.
Visible surfaces are then automatically added to a toplevel layer
attached to the layer chain in the compositor before an output repaint.
Changing visibility of, or (re)stacking a surface triggers regeneration
of the toplevel layer.

Surfaces that should be able to be placed in the toplevel layer but are
not regular shell surface needs special handling when using this
approach. Currently this only applies to the black surface behind
fullscreen surfaces. For that case, the black surface is simply stacked
beneath the fullscreen surface when generating the toplevel layer surface
list.
