XDG shell in depth
So far we've managed to display something on-screen in a top-level application window, but there's more to XDG shell that we haven't fully appreciated yet. Even the simplest application would be well-served to implement the configuration lifecycle correctly, and xdg-shell offers useful features to more complex application as well. The full breadth of xdg-shell's feature set includes client/server negotiation on window size, multi-window hierarchies, client-side decorations, and semantic positioning for windows like context menus.
