Create desktop-style surfaces

This interface is implemented by servers that provide desktop-style user interfaces.

It allows clients to associate a wl_shell_surface with a basic surface.

Note! This protocol is deprecated and not intended for production use. For desktop-style user interfaces, use xdg_shell. Compositors and clients should not implement this interface.

Methods:

    Given `wl_surface` has another role

get_shell_surface(surface: wl_surface) -> wl_shell_surface

Parameters:
