Description Matthias Clasen 2013-08-29 19:00:12 UTC 
Currently

gdk_window_stick
gdk_window_unstick

don't do anything on Wayland. We also recently added

gdk_x11_screen_get_number_of_desktops
gdk_x11_screen_get_current_desktop
gdk_x11_window_get_desktop 
gdk_x11_window_move_to_desktop

and these don't have any equivalent under Wayland. 

These probably need extensions of the shell interface, and also need to be implemented on the gnome-shell side.
Comment 1 Jonas Ådahl 2013-08-31 09:53:14 UTC 
There are an experimental protocol with functionality equivalent of

gdk_x11_screen_get_number_of_desktops
gdk_x11_screen_get_current_desktop
gdk_x11_window_get_desktop 
gdk_x11_window_move_to_desktop

in weston that is implemented in the toytoolkit (window.c). I also proposed an update for multiple outputs but was not integrated into weston due to the goal of weston is not to be a shell with too much unnecessary features, and per-output workspace would complicate the shell scene graph management.

Would it make sense to base any extension protocol on those proposals, implementing support in mutter, and continue from there?

Thanks for the pointer !

Probably.
