Kenny Levinsen 1e53007bc3 desktop/output: Store output config on request_state
An output backend might request any change to an output state at any
time, although currently only this is currently only used for changing
window size on the wayland and x11 backend.

Applying the configuration directly means that the current output state
becomes inconsistent with the configured state, which can cause the new
state to be reverted later if apply_stored_output_configs is called.

Before 4f9ce4675c. the output geometry would be updated by
arrange_outputs, but this is only done by the modeset logic now,
resulting in the stored geometry never being updated on wayland backend
window resize. This was not discovered as the stored geometry is not
used particularly often.

Solve both by storing a new output configuration and relying on the
modeset logic to apply a new state.

Fixes: 4f9ce4675c ("tree/arrange: Remove redundant output geometry update")

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
