In order to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter, we will need the ability to make a window transient to an external window identified by a string handle. This takes the corresponding code from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and brings it into an introspectable form, likewise the counterpart in libportal to export a string handle for a GtkWindow. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1087

# Shell External Windows
|
|
|
|
Shew is a small support library for dealing with external windows.
|
|
|
|
The code for creating external windows from a handle that are suitable for
|
|
setting a transient parent was copied from [xdg-desktop-portal-gtk].
|
|
|
|
The code for exporting a handle for a GtkWindow is losely based on code
|
|
from GTK/[libportal].
|
|
|
|
## Stability
|
|
This is an unstable library with no API or ABI guarantees, and no
|
|
soname versioning.
|
|
|
|
It is not recommended to use it outside the gnome-shell project, and
|
|
may only be used as a subproject.
