Mir seems to be pushing forward with their compositor-based attachment
protocol, and if they've analyzed it and established that it covers
most cases, I'm totally fine with us taking that.
Descriptive, not prescriptive :)

I don't see anything wrong with the compositor selecting the position for
popups, and really don't see any way this "probe" idea can do better. This
will avoid round trips, and also allow the compositor to move the popups if
other obscuring objects appear after they are created. There are a few

wl_probe_visible (for now _wl_probe_visible) is a reintroduction of
the "wl_probe" method of making it possible to position a surface so
that it is completely visible, when positioning it relative to some
other already mapped surface. It works by checking what parts of a
rectangle relative to an ex
