This does two important things when using alpha:

1. At corners, borders don't double in opacity
2. Foreground elements (text) can be made transparent and you can see
fully through to the wallpaper

      An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
      implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.

      It provides requests to treat surfaces like windows, allowing to set
      properties like maximized, fullscreen, minimized, and to move and resize
      them, and associate metadata like title and app id.

      On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
      the related wl_surface is destroyed.  On client side,
      xdg_surface.destroy() must be called before destroying
      the wl_surface object.

        This request asks the compositor to pop up such a window menu at
        the given position, relative to the parent surface. There are
        no guarantees as to what the window menu contains.

        Your surface must have focus on the seat passed in to pop up the

        The different state values used on the surface. This is designed for
        state values like maximized, fullscreen. It is paired with the
        configure event to ensure that both the client and the compositor
        setting the state can be synchronized.

        States set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on
        the next commit.

        Desktop environments may extend this enum by taking up a range of
        values and documenting the range they chose in this description.
        They are not required to document the values for the range that they
        chose. Ideally, any good extensions from a desktop environment should
        make its way into standardization into this enum.

        The current reserved ranges are:

        0x0000 - 0x0FFF: xdg-shell core values, documented below.
        0x1000 - 0x1FFF: GNOME

	The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.

        about how its surface should be resized in window geometry
        coordinates. The states listed in the event specify how the
        width/height arguments should be interpreted.

        A client should arrange a new surface, and then send a
        ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure
        event before attaching a new surface.

	If the client receives multiple configure events before it
        can respond to one, it is free to discard all but the last
        event it received.

        using the ack_configure request to ensure that the compositor
        knows the client has seen the event.

    <request name="set_window_geometry">
      <description summary="set the new window geometry">
        The window geometry of a window is its "visible bounds" from the
        user's perspective. Client-side decorations often have invisible
        portions like drop-shadows which should be ignored for the
        purposes of aligning, placing and constraining windows.

        The default value is the full bounds of the surface, including any
        subsurfaces. Once the window geometry of the surface is set once,
        it is not possible to unset it, and it will remain the same until
        set_window_geometry is called again, even if a new subsurface or
        buffer is attached.

        If responding to a configure event, the window geometry in here
        must respect the sizing negotiations specified by the states in
        the configure event.

      An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for

      surface is a transient surface with an added pointer grab.

      An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode,
      and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends
      (i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to be
      unmapped).

      The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
      button is pressed in any other clients window. A click in any of
      the clients surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in
      other clients surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.

      The x and y arguments specify the locations of the upper left
      corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
