This interface is used by KF5 powered Wayland shells to communicate with
the compositor and can only be bound one time.
Warning! The protocol described in this file is a desktop environment
implementation detail. Regular clients must not use this protocol.

<description summary="metadata interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide the shell user interface.
It provides requests to set surface roles, assign an output
or set the position in output coordinates.
On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
the related wl_surface is destroyed. On client side,
org_kde_plasma_surface.destroy() must be called before
destroying the wl_surface object.

<request name="set_role">
<description summary="assign a role to this surface">
Assign a role to a shell surface.
The compositor handles surfaces depending on their role.
See the explanation below.
This request fails if the surface already has a role, this means
the surface role may be assigned only once.
== Surfaces with splash role ==
Splash surfaces are placed above every other surface during the
shell startup phase.
The surfaces are placed according to the output coordinates.
No size is imposed to those surfaces, the shell has to resize
them according to output size.
These surfaces are meant to hide the desktop during the startup
phase so that the user will always see a ready to work desktop.
A shell might not create splash surfaces if the compositor reveals
the desktop in an alternative fashion, for example with a fade
in effect.
That depends on how much time the desktop usually need to prepare
the workspace or specific design decisions.
This specification doesn't impose any particular design.
When the startup phase is finished, the shell will send the
org_kde_plasma.desktop_ready request to the compositor.
== Surfaces with desktop role ==
Desktop surfaces are placed below all other surfaces and are used
to show the actual desktop view with icons, search results or
controls the user will interact with. What to show depends on the
shell implementation.
The surfaces are placed according to the output coordinates.
No size is imposed to those surfaces, the shell has to resize
them according to output size.
Only one surface per output can have the desktop role.
== Surfaces with dashboard role ==
Dashboard surfaces are placed above desktop surfaces and are used to
show additional widgets and controls.
The surfaces are placed according to the output coordinates.
No size is imposed to those surfaces, the shell has to resize
them according to output size.
Only one surface per output can have the dashboard role.
== Surfaces with config role ==
A configuration surface is shown when the user wants to configure
panel or desktop views.
Only one surface per output can have the config role.
TODO: This should grab the input like popup menus, right?
== Surfaces with overlay role ==
Overlays are special surfaces that shows for a limited amount
of time. Such surfaces are useful to display things like volume,
brightness and status changes.
Compositors may decide to show those surfaces in a layer above
all surfaces, even full screen ones if so is desired.
== Surfaces with notification role ==
Notification surfaces display informative content for a limited
amount of time. The compositor may decide to show them in a corner
depending on the configuration.
These surfaces are shown in a layer above all other surfaces except
for full screen ones.
== Surfaces with lock role ==
The lock surface is shown by the compositor when the session is
locked, users interact with it to unlock the session.
Compositors should move lock surfaces to 0,0 in output
coordinates space and hide all other surfaces for security sake.
For the same reason it is recommended that clients make the
lock surface as big as the screen.
Only one surface per output can have the lock role.

A panel surface with panel_behavior auto_hide can perform this request to hide the panel

The compositor will restore the visibility state of the
surface when the pointer touches the screen edge the panel borders. Once the compositor restores
the visibility the event auto_hidden_panel_shown will be sent. This event will also be sent
if the compositor is unable to hide the panel.
The client can also request to show the panel again with the request panel_auto_hide_show.
