Description

In order to build an Application Dock as a separate Wayland client process, the compositor needs a way to share surfaces to that client, eg. as a miniaturized application window, an icon, or similar.

This talk will outline the use-case, present a currently working prototype, and intends to poll for further interest and if or how a proper solution could be shaped
