Previously, the clipboard and primary selections shared the same window.
This was racey, and could have led to pasting failures.
On xfixes selection owner change notification, the logic for requesting
the supported mimetypes of the new owner's selection looks like:
xcb_convert_selection(
xwm->xcb_conn,
selection->window,
selection->atom,
xwm->atoms[TARGETS],
xwm->atoms[WL_SELECTION],
selection->timestamp
);
This means ask the selection owner to write its TARGETS for the
`selection->atom` selection (one of PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, DND_SELECTION)
to `selection->window`'s WL_SELECTION atom.
However, `selection->window` is shared for both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
selections, and WL_SELECTION is used as the target atom in both cases.
So, there's a race when both selections change at the same time.
The CLIPBOARD selection might support mimetypes {A, B, C}, and the
PRIMARY only {A, B}. If the ConvertSelection requests/responses "cross
on the wire", so to speak, wlroots can end up believing that the PRIMARY
selection also supports C.
A Wayland client may then ask for the PRIMARY selection in C format,
which will fail with "convert selection failed".
This commit fixes this by using a separate window for PRIMARY and
CLIPBOARD target requests, so that WL_SELECTION can be used as the
target atom in both cases.
This commit introduces logic for using a new X11 window for each
incoming transfer, rather than having a global window for each selection
source.
This eliminates a whole class of bugs involving multiple concurrent
incoming transfers.
For now, we retain the outgoing transfer queue, and the selection
source-specific windows to support it. Source-specific windows are no
longer used in the incoming path, and will be removed in a future PR.

Certain clients require this property to be set for expected behavior.
Most notably, steam client CSD maximize button no longer worked
after unmaximizing once, unless the state was changed by another
method. The state is unset whenever another surface gains focus.
Previously, some atoms had a leading underscore, others didn't. Be more
consistent and never use a leading underscore (symbols with a leading
underscore followed by an upper-case letter are reserved).
This makes compositors able to block and/or customize set_selection requests
coming from clients. For instance, it's possible for a compositor to disable
rich selection content (by removing all MIME types except text/plain). This
commit implements the design proposed in [1].
Two new events are added to wlr_seat: request_set_selection and
request_set_primary_selection. Compositors need to listen to these events and
either destroy the source or effectively set the selection.

Some comboboxes (e.g. in chrome://flags) are advertized as…
Notifications of course! Yeah, notifications, the thing that
tells you you have mail, your battery is low, or the dog has
eaten your carpet. This isn't the first time we notice Chromium's
X11 backend is pretty shit.
Anyway, added notifications and splash screens to the list of
unmanaged windows. Also removed utility windows because those
should be managed, but maybe I'm wrong and I'll revert this.
xwm.h was meant to be private, so move it to include/xwayland/xwm.h
We had an ifdef WLR_HAS_XCB_ICCCM in xwayland.h which was easy to move
to xwm, it is not safe to use the WLR_HAS_* in the public headers.
I checked a few of our current users and none rely on xwm.h being
public as expected (rootston, sway, hsroots)
