We use agl-shell-desktop to be able to position indepedently the surface +on top of the cluster-dashbboard application, and in the same time specify +a bounding box. + +Underneath, waylandsink requires a parent surface (wl_surface) as to create a +sub-subsurface where it will draw, on its own, the incoming stream. + +We don't pass out that parent surface to the compositor, but instead of use the +app_id to identify applications, that is why it is import to set, for the parent +surface an application id. |
