gdk_wayland_window_set_use_custom_surface ()

void                gdk_wayland_window_set_use_custom_surface
                                                        (GdkWindow *window);

Marks a GdkWindow as a custom Wayland surface. The application is expected to register the surface as some type of surface using some Wayland interface.

A good example would be writing a panel or on-screen-keyboard as an out-of-process helper - as opposed to having those in the compositor process. In this case the underlying surface isn't a wl_shell surface and the panel or OSK client need to identify the wl_surface as a panel or OSK to the compositor. The assumption is that the compositor will expose a private interface to the special client that lets the client identify the wl_surface as a panel or such.

This function should be called before a GdkWindow is shown. This is best done by connecting to the "realized" signal:
