Aleksei Bavshin aa443629b5 xdg-shell: use toplevel geometry to adjust the popup box
`popup_unconstrain` uses view coordinates to init the output box for
popups. However wlroots expects the box to be set in a toplevel surface
coordinate system, which is not always equal to view. The difference
between those is a window geometry set via xdg-shell.

GTK4 reserves some space for client-side decoration and thus has a
window with top left corner not matching to (0, 0) of a surface. The box
calculated without taking that into account was slightly shifted
compared to the actual output and allowed to position part of the popup
off screen.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

* Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

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).
