REVISION SUMMARY
  The Scale effect and the Glide effect have to animate only ordinary
  windows(i.e. the ones that are considered to be apps).
  
  On X11, in order to distinguish ordinary windows from combo box popups,
  popup menus, and other popups, those effects check whether given window
  is managed.
  
  On Wayland, there is no concept of managed/unmanaged windows.
  
  XDG Shell protocol defines 2 surface roles:
  
  - xdg_toplevel;
  - and, xdg_popup.
  
  The former can be used to implement typical windows, the ones that can
  be minimized, maximized, etc.
  
  The latter can be used to implement tooltips, popup menus, etc. Thus,
  that's a good criteria to filter popup windows.
