This patch allows surfaces without keyboard focus
but with pointer focus to receive valid tokens.
This can be relevant for applications using an older version of
the layershell protocol which only provided the choice between
no keyboard focus and exclusive keyboard focus.
There were three places initializing a token:
- wlr_xdg_activation_v1_add_token
- wlr_xdg_activation_token_v1_create
- activation_handle_get_activation_token
The initialization of the token.destroy was missing in the first one. To
prevent these functions from getting out of sync move the token creation
into a common function.
Fixes 4c59f7d4 ("xdg-activation: Allow to submit tokens")
Allows the compositor to submit tokens to the pool of
currently active tokens. This can be useful when the
launcher doesn't use or support xdg-activation-v1 by
itself - e.g. when it is X11 based or use gtk_shell1.
The data field is useful to track metadata about a token. The destroy
events are useful for compositors that track application startup to
let them know they can stop doing that.
These new functions allow a compositor to request new managed tokens
without participating in the xdg-activation procedure as a wayland
client.
This enables the compositor itself to behave as a launcher
application.
There isn't always a good time to prune old tokens. Compositors
which only implement a "give focus on activation" logic can prune
tokens on focus change. However other compositors might want to
implement other semantics, e.g. "mark urgent on activation". In this
case a focus change shouldn't invalidate other tokens.
Additionally, some tokens aren't necessarily tied to a seat.
To avoid ending up with an ever-growing list of tokens, add a timeout.
