        setting the state can be synchronized.

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

        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:

        A client should arrange a new surface, and then send a

    <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,

      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
