Started by the user on a tty or by the display manager
I don't know exactly what it does, but some wayland window managers work better when started like this:
dbus-run-session goose
We should investigate what does this allow...
from goose.
Server:
- A long-running, standalone piece, written in C
- Started by the user on a tty or by the display manager
- Retains the true state of all that pertains to window management (not sure if there exists any other kind of state -- maybe mouse cursor position, but even that may get taken up by the underlying wayland software)
- State can be modified and queried from the outside, almost everything, like: states of windows, frames, outputs; positioning and ordering methods; configurables; etc.
- All outside communication to be done through either dbus, sockets + json, or plumbing?
(Server) State of environment:
- Available inputs, outputs, and other system information
(Server) State of windows:
- Open windows (and their programs)
- Their size, position, focus, order
- Their grouping, tagging, marking
(Server) State of management:
- Stuff currently in play, in relation to the "m" part of "wm"
- What is visible; how windows are laid out; rules, mechanisms, tactics; etc.
(Server) State of configuration:
- User specified stuff, colors, rules, log level, paths, etc.
(Server) State of input mapping:
- Keys/mouse-buttons do what
(Server) History:
- List of past window management events
- For purposes of undo, redo
Main client:
- A user-modifiable script, written in Tcl, that can send messages to the server in order to perform queries or modifications on the fly
- A set of script words (a Tcl library, an API) is provided by the server that hides most of the details of the message protocol
Overview client:
- A window management configurer that is mostly redundant (with the main client), but additionally provides an overlaid graphical means of control
- Hopefully doable in Tk, but wondering how then to achieve neat visual effects
Miscellaneous clients:
- Bars, pagers, Tk widgets, etc. that likely will be in the purview of end users
