+ * A state might contain a new size, or new border settings, or new parent/child
+ * relationships.
+ *
+ * Calling transaction_commit() makes sway notify of all the affected clients
+ * with their new sizes. We then wait for all the views to respond with their
+ * new surface sizes. When all are ready, or when a timeout has passed, we apply
+ * the updates all at the same time.
