Hi pq,

I see. In case of ivi, ivi_application shall be exclusive from others.
In wayland client manner, client manages which role wl_surface shall do, 
I understand.

Sub-surface: it can have a wl_surface of ivi_surface as a parent. So 
client can use it exclusively.
Pointer cursor: it is for cursor. It can use it exclusively.
wl_shell: this is desktop style. It can use it exclusively.
drag icon: wl_surface is registered for icon surface around cursor 
during drag. It can be used exclusively.

So I think above request can be used for ivi-application request.
However, I have to take care wl_surface which is set to set_cursor and 
icon of start_drag shall be visible in ivi-shell. However for the time 
being, it is not critical for ivi use case.

Thank you very much. This comment was good to start investigation.
BR,
Nobuhiko
