Expose the actual view geometry (as set by the client via xdg-shell set_window_geometry) in the IPC get_tree output as 'surface_content_rect'. This is useful for clients using protocols like ext-image-copy-capture-v1 to capture foreign windows. Since the capture contains the full window surface (including Client-Side Decorations, shadows, etc.), the client needs to know the offset of the actual window content within the captured image. The surface_content_rect field exposes this offset (x, y) and size (width, height) relative to the surface.

This sound like something which should be discussed in wayland-protocols. |
