We need to fix that documentation, then, along with fixing Weston.
mutter will give you an error with this event stream, since attaching
a NULL buffer for an xdg_surface is invalid.

This behavior is one of the reasons why I removed this ability from
xdg_surface and instead made it an error -- the semantics were
extremely unclear, and practically the same as destroying and
recreating the xdg_surface. Please do that instead.

However crazy it is, the logic sort of makes sense -- the "frame"
event is guaranteed to be called once a frame when the surface content
is painted and shown on the screen. When there's no surface content,
it isn't painted, so the frame event isn't called.

I'm not sure what you mean about a buffer release event -- you never
attached a buffer to begin with, so I can't imagine how you'll get an
event on it.
