Fwd: [PATCH weston] xdg-shell: Make stable

[Manuel Bachmann]

Hi everybody, and thanks Phillippe for reacting to this topic,

Yes, we under Tizen are using xdg-shell for some of the great features it
has, and doing the integration in applications and toolkits such
Ozone-Wayland, Qt, EFL...

We were recently challenged by a feature needed in the Web runtime, which
is "resuming" an application by making it visible again.
Currently, we use "xdg_shell_set_minimized()" to hide it. There is no
corresponding reverse function though, so we have been hacking by
destroying and recreating xdg_surfaces, but it is at best

Having a "xdg_surface_unset_minimized()" request would really solve this
issue.

I'm attaching the WIP patch implementing this. And here is a video of a
client-side implementation, here switching apps :

Looking forward for your feedback, Jasper and everyone interested !
