I did not see that they were not visible to the client. This makes sense

I would guess that the compositor would turn surfaces+buffers into
views+buffers, and the final compositing step would not interact with
the surface objects at all.

Can't buffers already be shared between surfaces? I don't

be completely unaware of them.
