      An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
      implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.

      It provides requests to treat surfaces like windows, allowing to set
      properties like maximized, fullscreen, minimized, and to move and resize
      them, and associate metadata like title and app id.

      On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
      the related wl_surface is destroyed.  On client side,
      xdg_surface.destroy() must be called before destroying
      the wl_surface object.

        This tells the compositor what the visible size of the window

        constrainment and alignment.

        CSD often has invisible areas for decoration purposes, like drop
        shadows. These "shadow" drawings need to be subtracted out of the
        normal boundaries of the window when computing where to place
        windows (e.g. to set this window so it's centered on top of another,
        or to put it to the left or right of the screen.)

        This value should change as little as possible at runtime, to
        prevent flicker.

        This value is also ignored when the window is maximized or
        fullscreen, and assumed to be 0.

        If never called, this value is assumed to be 0.

        compositor setting the state can be synchronized.

        States set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on

        Desktop environments may extend this enum by taking up a range of
        values and documenting the range they chose in this description.
        They are not required to document the values for the range that they
        chose. Ideally, any good extensions from a desktop environment should
        make its way into standardization into this enum.

        The current reserved ranges are:

        0x0000 - 0x0FFF: xdg-shell core values, documented below.

      The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
      button is pressed in any other clients window. A click in any of
      the clients surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in
      other clients surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.

      The x and y arguments specify the locations of the upper left
      corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
