[PATCH v2 weston] xdg-shell: handle clients launched in fullscreen

[Bill Spitzak]

I would think the same decision should be made for clients that are not 
fullscreen.

Actually it does look like this is discussed on 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-May/014568.html

Nobody really has a good idea what the rules should be, but everbody 
does seem to think that fullscreen, maximized, and normal clients would 
obey the same rules.

So could this output choosing be applied to all surfaces, not just 
fullscreen ones?
