> Currently, layers’ order depends on the module loading order and it does
> not survive runtime modifications (like shell locking/unlocking).
> With this patch, modules can safely add their own layer at the expected
> position in the stack, with runtime persistence.

> v2:
>  - Tiny commit message addition: added runtime behaviour comment.
>  - Reworked (a lot) the enum comment to explain further the position
>    values and their actual expected scope. I hope their are clear enough.
>    Here are the biggest changes:
>      - Added a BOTTOM_UI value for widgets and conky-like applications.
>      - Changed BACKGROUND to be 1, as nothing should be under it
>      - Added a comment about mandatory background
>
> As a side question: if this semantic regarding background surface is
> accepted, would that be relevant for libweston to provide a “real” fallback
> black surface if no BACKGROUND layer is found?

I find this value slightly surprising, as it actually unsets the
position. In orbital, i have a "hidden" layer but that's behind the
background, and the purpose is to keep sending the frame callbacks for
the views in it (for e.g. minimized views). Using this would instead
stop sending them. I think it would be clearer to have a
weston_layer_unset_position(), and have this value be behind the
background, or remove it at all.
