xdg_shell - create desktop-style surfaces : check if the client is alive
This interface is implemented by servers that provide desktop-style user interfaces.
It allows clients to associate a xdg_surface with a basic surface.

ping - check if the client is alive : pass this to the callback
The ping event asks the client if it's still alive. Pass the serial specified in the event back to the compositor by sending a "pong" request back with the specified serial.
Compositors can use this to determine if the client is still alive. It's unspecified what will happen if the client doesn't respond to the ping request, or in what timeframe. Clients should try to respond in a reasonable amount of time.
