A window decoration is a set of window controls as deemed appropriate by the party managing them, such as user interface components used to move, resize and change a window’s state. A client can use this protocol to request being decorated by a supporting compositor. If compositor and client do not negotiate the use of a server-side decoration using this protocol, clients continue to self-decorate as they see fit.

xdg_wm_dialog_v1
interface is exposed as a global object allowing to register surfaces with a xdg_toplevel role as “dialogs” relative to another toplevel. - Protocol for exporting xdg surface handles
