You won't be able to create an xdg_surface from not-xdg_shell because of the single-factory principle, but with v6 it would theoretically be possible to create an xdg_surface and assign it a role not defined in xdg_shell. > > Is xdg-shell designed to be used by third-party clients for controlling > windows in a similar way to libwnck?

It's targeted at toolkits and clients that act as regular clients.
