I have completely forgotten about this one, sorry about that. I could
take it upon me to review this if its valuable for 1.11, but as far as I
remember I was not very happy about the internal API changes.

Any changes to xdg_shell should target the v6, it needs to be rebased.
Might be something good to revisit before finalizing a v6.

This one can have my Acked-by for 1.11 since it avoids crashing weston.
As far as I can tell, wayland<->xwayland dnd is currently broken either
way, and hopefully Carlos can have a look for 1.12.

I won't work on these for 1.11.

There has been some disagreements on various parts being out-of-scope
for said protocol. I think we need to discuss this one further before
landing.

We are waiting with this one until 1.12.

For the ones I didn't comment on, I have no input right now.
