There are two clients (A and B) that can communicate via some IPC
mechanism where A is the main process and B is a render process. B
renders to a surface and A decides its visibility and position. Below
follows an example how foreign surfaces can be used.
1. Both A and B connects do the server
5. A creates a main surface
2. B creates a render surface
3. B exports the render surface and retrieves a handle
4. B sends the surface handle via IPC to A
6. A receives the surface handle via IPC from B
7. A creates a foreign wl_surface via wl_foreign_surface_manager
8. A creates a wl_subsurface via the wl_subcompositor
I would really like to see A create the surface and pass the handle to
B. The reason is so that argv can be used as the "IPC" if A does a
fork+exec of B.
