These two new requests are designed to help video players
to synchronize what is displayed on the screen and the audio,
and to implement the X Present extension in XWayland.

+ This request is used to indicate the compositor at which ust time the

+
+ The request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit.
+ The ust time indicated is in Milliseconds.
+
+ If the ust time requested has already happened, then the next commit
+ will be processed as any other commit.
+
+ The client can do another commit request without cancelling
+ a commit associated to a requested presentation time that has not
+ already happened.
+
+ The compositor can choose to ignore the indicated ust time, and for
+ example, if the client has queued too much buffers, it can choose to
+ treat some past commit with a future ust time, as commits with no
+ ust time indicated.
+
+ Calling a second time presentation_time on a wl_surface without doing
+ a commit will replace the last ust time indicated.

+ Request notification when the next frame hits a physical screen.
+ This notification, which should happen after the frame notification,
+ can be used to synchronize video and audio better. The time given
+ will be ust time, in Milliseconds.
+
+ If, for any reason, the compositor determines that the frame will
+ never hit the screen, then the callback is called with 0 as argument,
+ instead of the ust time. One possible reason is that the compositor
+ choose to use a newer frame sent by the client.
+
+ The client is not supposed to throttle its drawing to this
+ notification, but to the frame notification.
+
+ If the frame hits multiple physical screens, only the first time it
+ hits a screen triggers the hit callback.
+
+ The hit request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit.
+ The notification will only be posted for one frame unless
+ requested again.
+
+ A client can request a hit callback even without an attach,
+ damage, or any other state changes, since wl_surface.commit triggers a
+ display update.
+
+ The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
+ compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
+ attempt to use it after that point.
