Implements the xwayland_shell protocol which makes the surface association happen via a shared serial, rather than sharing a wl_surface resource ID across an X atom. This solves a race that can happen if the wl_surface associated with a WL_SURFACE_ID for a window was destroyed before the update of the atom was processed by the compositor and another surface (or other object) had taken its id due to recycling.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
