Erm... How can it be so? I cannot believe Wayland is not going to
introduce a standard of some kind for windows management? This is
political design decision or Wayland team just didn't developed their
specifications yet?

Wayland considers window management the responsibility of the Wayland compositor, for security and simplicity reasons. There are no standard APIs to support external panels or pagers, though some compositors and desktop environments might develop their own.

Thank you a lot for interesting example. I had some ideas about
possible implementation, but now things got a bit more complicated.
I think I need to figure out more use cases like that one.
