<description summary="Protocol for requesting activation of surfaces">
The way for a client to pass focus to another toplevel is as follows.
The client that intends to activate another toplevel uses the
xdg_activation_v1.get_activation_token request to get an activation token.
This token is then passed to the client to be activated through a separate
band of communication. The client to be activated will then pass the token
it received to the xdg_activation_v1.activate request. The compositor can
then use this token to decide how to react to the activation request.
The token the activating client gets may be ineffective either already at
the time it receives it, for example if it was not focused, for focus
stealing prevention. The activating client will have no way to discover
the validity of the token, and may still forward it to the to be activated
client.
The created activation token may optionally get information attached to it
that can be used by the compositor to identify the application that we
intend to activate. This can for example be used to display a visual hint
about what application is being started.
Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.

<description summary="interface for activating surfaces">
A global interface used for informing the compositor about applications
being activated or started, or for applications to request to be
activated.

Notify the compositor that the xdg_activation object will no longer be

The child objects created via this interface are unaffected and should
be destroyed separately.

the initiating client with a unique token for this activation. This

Requests surface activation. It's up to the compositor to display
this information as desired, for example by placing the surface above
the rest.
The compositor may know who requested this by checking the activation
token and might decide not to follow through with the activation if it's
considered unwanted.
Compositors can ignore unknown presentation tokens when an invalid
token is passed.

An object for setting up a token and receiving a token handle that can
be passed as an activation token to another client.
The object is created using the xdg_activation_v1.get_activation_token
request. This object should then be populated with the app_id, surface
and serial information and committed. The compositor shall then issue a
done event with the token. In case the request's parameters are invalid,
the compositor will provide an invalid token.

The 'done' event contains the unique token of this activation request
and notifies that the provider is done.
Applications will typically receive the token through the
XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN environment variable as set by its launcher, and
should unset the environment variable right after this request, in
order to avoid propagating it to child processes.
Applications implementing the D-Bus interface org.freedesktop.Application
should get their token under XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN on their platform_data.
Presentation tokens may be transferred across clients through means not
described in this protocol.
