Hi Han,<br>
<br>
In that case, you should probably use a protocol designed for embedded surface layout, like ivi-shell, rather than xdg-shell. Embedded, static-size display is a very different use case than a modern desktop system which requires hotplug and multimonitor layouts.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Allowing yourselves to place multiple windows where you want it then isn't going to solve that problem, since users can still drag them around, minimize them, etc. Multiprocess rendering is a bit tricksy, and there's no standardized way to do it right now.
The traditional technique is to build your own Wayland compositor inside your application, which is a bit heavyweight, and then use wl_subsurface to composite the results. This is what e.g. WebKit2's architecture does, and it's something I've tried to implement
in the past [0]. As the scope of a Wayland compositor becomes larger and larger over time, I think this is starting to become a bit impractical. It might be worth looking into a multi-process buffer-sharing protocol as a Wayland extension, since it's a use
case that keeps coming up.<o:p></o:p></p>
