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.

+ <description summary="set the surface fullscreen state">
+ Set the surface state as fullscreen.
+
+ If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made
+ fullscreen on that output. If the client does not specify the
+ output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually
+ choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface
+ area.
+
+ The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict
+ between the output size and the surface size - this is provided
+ through the method parameter.
+
+ The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set
+ to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0
+ indicates that the app does not care about framerate. The
+ framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
+
+ A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
+ the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
+ the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
+ that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
+ fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
+
+ A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
+ any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
+ an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
+ size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a
+ surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to
+ downscale the results to fit the screen.
+
+ The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event
+ with the dimensions for the output on which the surface will
+ be made fullscreen.
+
+ This state can be set while other surface states are still set,
+ and it won't unset them. It has precedence over maximized, and
+ the surface will be kept fullscreen until unset.
