There's a good reason to discuss this outside of a specific code review: we need to agree the "big picture". There is an apparent disagreement about the approach to window management policy and that affects the review of any and all MPs in this area. I've always understood the intent to be that Mir enables shells (in general and specifically unity8) to implement policies about how things should be presented. It is far easier for a shell to provide a policy around, say "menus" if it is asked to "show a menu" than if it is asked for a window, then asked to "parent" it, then asked to position it, etc. With this approach there is never any point at which the server knows what the client intends. If we intend to push the presentation policy out to the client toolkits then they will provide inconsistent (a.k.a. incorrect) policy implementations. (Especially if, as we should hope, there are multiple shells written using the Mir library that implement policies differently.) -- Mir-devel mailing list Mir-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/mir-devel
