Kirill Primak 5c98d1a04a xdg-surface: fix window geometry handling 
It was completely wrong: according to the protocol, the effective
geometry is only updated on commit time if there pending state has
new state from xdg_surface.set_window_geometry or
xdg_surface.set_window_geometry has never been sent at all.

This commit adds wlr_xdg_surface.geometry which correctly matches the
effective window geometry and removes now-useless
wlr_xdg_surface_get_geometry().

TinyWL

This is the "minimum viable product" Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It aims to implement a Wayland compositor in the fewest lines of code possible, while still supporting a reasonable set of features. Reading this code is the best starting point for anyone looking to build their own Wayland compositor based on wlroots.

Building TinyWL

TinyWL is disconnected from the main wlroots build system, in order to make it easier to understand the build requirements for your own Wayland compositors. Simply install the dependencies:

  • wlroots
  • wayland-protocols

And run make.

Running TinyWL

You can run TinyWL with ./tinywl. In an existing Wayland or X11 session, tinywl will open a Wayland or X11 window respectively to act as a virtual display. You can then open Wayland windows by setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY to the value shown in the logs. You can also run ./tinywl from a TTY.

In either case, you will likely want to specify -s [cmd] to run a command at startup, such as a terminal emulator. This will be necessary to start any new programs from within the compositor, as TinyWL does not support any custom keybindings. TinyWL supports the following keybindings:

  • Alt+Escape: Terminate the compositor
  • Alt+F1: Cycle between windows

Limitations

Notable omissions from TinyWL:

  • HiDPI support
  • Any kind of configuration, e.g. output layout
  • Any protocol other than xdg-shell (e.g. layer-shell, for panels/taskbars/etc; or Xwayland, for proxied X11 windows)
  • Optional protocols, e.g. screen capture, primary selection, virtual keyboard, etc. Most of these are plug-and-play with wlroots, but they're omitted for brevity.
