If the app is positioning themselves, they'd need to know the global mouse position which we don't export. That would be a weird thing to export and trying to re-create X rather than do things properly. layer shell (https://github.com/swaywm/wlr-protocols/blob/master/unstable/wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1.xml) positions things semantically rather than explicitly. That has the concept of not setting an output, so the compositor can choose which to use, and that has access the cursor. I think long term that's where we want to go. That's quite a big change and implementing the client side properly means doing things in a different way to how we've currently done things. David
