XDG_Shell and wl_probe

Hi.


About 10 months or so ago, there where patches submitted by Rob Bradford. I chose to ping the list as I think that what they implement is useful to desktop users.

They where for giving applications a way of knowing how much of its menu will be visible, if it was to display one at a particular size. 

As this can be quite useful for applications that are near the bottom of the screen, to have a way of knowing if the menu is going offscreen, and can be useful to Desktop users, should this be made part of XDG_Shell as well?
