Hi Wayland-devs, while implementing sub-surface support in KWin I run into a small problem regarding the get_subsurface request:
When should the new subsurface be added to the parent surface? My interpretation was that the subsurface will only be added after the next commit on the parent surface. As that would allow setting up the sub-surface completely and also calls like place_above are double-buffered. To me this looked like all child surface ordering changes are double buffered. But testing with real world applications (systemsettings5 on QtWayland) showed that the parent surface does not get committed after the get_subsurface request and my implementation wasn't able to make the subsurface show at all due to that. On the other hand on Weston it works. So what's the expected way? Is the get_subsurface request double buffered? If yes, could the documentation be extended about that? Cheers Martin
