Bug ID: 419222
Summary: XdgOutput v2 doesn't send the name in a spec compliant
way
Product: frameworks-kwayland
Version: 5.68.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: server
Assignee: mgraess...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Vlad:
Unfortunately, I have bad news. We're screwed. I poked people to clarify
the language that is used in many specs. Here's the summary: if a spec
says that an event is sent after creating an object and nowhere it says
that the event is optional, then the compositor _must_ send the event.
xdg_output::description is an optional event because the spec mentions
it. On the other hand, xdg_output::name is mandatory because the spec
has no a single word about it being optional.
Dave:
Pragmatically we know what every toolkit does and it's fine in reality so no
need to panic, but we should fix it.
I'll add some overload in Display for kwin to request the version number or
something.
