Description U. Artie Eoff 2013-10-29 18:51:54 UTC 
On a multi-head setup, weston's virtual keyboard always pops up on the primary output regardless of which output contains the app you are interacting with.  For example, one would expect that if the "weston-editor" was on the secondary output, then activating a text field would cause the virtual keyboard to pop-up on the same output as the weston-editor.

    shell: display the input panel on the active output
    
    We now dynamically move the input panel (i.e. virtual
    keyboard) surface to the output containing the currently
    focused surface.
