Hi,

yeah, seems good to me, too. I might like to change the wording
slightly so that the name event is guaranteed to be sent, and not only
"may be sent". I assume it is also supposed to belong to the set of
state that is ended with the 'done' event, I guess that could be more
clear, too.

I imagine this would be useful also, if a client wants to show a menu
with options to maximize or fullscreen onto a specific output. Listing
the outputs by name would let the user know which is which. I guess
presentation applications might like that to put something on the
projector.


Thanks,
pq
