A shell does window management...
I think my question was misunderstood. What I meant was "What is the
meaning of more than one shell SIMULTANEOUSLY".
If a wayland instance can only use one shell at a time, there should be
no need for this shell argument or the shell_surface, as the only
correct value is implicitly known.
The existence of these arguments (or of shell_surface) implies that
wayland can simultaneously have more than one shell, which is the only
reason a client has to be able to specify it.
It also is possible that the existence of shell_surface is only to
categorize the methods in the stream api. However in that case I think
it should be much easier to instantly transform between surface and
shell_surface (ie they are the same id) and the complex rules about
creation and deletion should not be needed.
