I'm not particularly happy with the status quo, but the reality is
that it's exposed by both Weston and Mutter, and we've been telling
clients to use it - e.g. GTK+ relies on it. If we're going to change
the name, I'd prefer to combine this with a breaking protocol change,
so we're not foisting further incompatibility on clients for no
particular reason.

Cheers,
