Hi

Missing type="destructor". I think you might be leaking client memory
and maybe even mess up the object id accounting when the server destroys
the wl_resource but the client didn't destroy the wl_proxy.

I wonder if wayland-scanner should actually detect this and warn,
because if there is no request called "destroy", it will generate a
*_destroy() function regardless which only destroys the proxy but will
not send any message. So having a request called "destroy" that does
not actually destroy the proxy would be quite confusing.

I didn't check anything else than destructors.
