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

[Jasper St. Pierre]

The lack of an unset_minimized feature is very intentional. The *goal*, it
sounds like, is to present the window immediately again, but an
unset_minimized won't do that. What if the window is on a different
workspace, or has been simply stacked behind another set of windows?

unset_minimized won't solve any of these issues. Destroying and creating an
xdg_surface will, certainly.

If there's a valid use case, and I'm *very* skeptical that there is, I
would be fine in "present_window" request that tries as hard as possible to
present the window to the user (unminimizing, changing workspaces, stacking
to the top). However, I do want to make the guarantee that it isn't
immediate. Compositors may implement this request by instead showing a
blinking icon in the taskbar, to prevent an application from suddenly
stealing the user's focus.

So, what is the use case for unset_minimized?
