I don't believe that's correct. The move, minimize, full-screen and resize seems to be part of the xdg_shell protocol (which has no extra methods for decorations and is only for window roles etc...) under the configure event [1]. I suspect that's how the tiling window managers like sway do it without extra server-side decorations.
Possibly this is a subtle distinction, but I do think it matters.

- ywei3410 6y agoI believe you misread my comment; I said that the full-screen, minimize, re-size isn't part of the server-side decoration extension, but was part of a more basic xdg_shell protocol through the configure event. I was objecting to the fact that you said that windows did not have this capability without the server-side extensions, whereas I think they can be through configure. I did not dispute whether sway had server-side decorations or not.
