When mode switching is disabled in a video backend, fullscreen windows are basically just fullscreen desktop windows with different internal scaling. As no mode switching occurs, there's no need to minimize them on focus loss by default. This can still be overridden by explicitly setting the internal hint for minimizing on focus loss.
This has the side effect of fixing a bug on GNOME, where, when a fullscreen Wayland window has it's focus lost and restored via alt+tab followed by switching back to windowed mode, the top portion of the window won't end up being obstructed by GNOME's top bar.
This reverts commit 8ceba27d62.
SDL Wayland support is stable, but there are a number of issues with third-party software (NVIDIA drivers, libwayland event overflow, libdecor not handling plugin load failures, Steam overlay not working with Wayland, etc.) that make it better to default to X11 at this time.
Games which would like to prefer wayland when available can use the following code before SDL_Init():
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_VIDEODRIVER, "wayland,x11");
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5527
This hint allows libdecor to be used even when xdg-decoration is
available. It's mostly useful for debugging libdecor, but could in
theory be used by applications which want to (for example) bundle their
own libdecor plugins.
At the time I contributed this unit test, SDL had a relatively narrow
definition of what is a keyboard, approximately matching udev
ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD. Now it uses the equivalent of udev ID_INPUT_KEY,
which matches anything with keyboard keys, and not just reasonably
complete alphanumeric keyboards.

At the time I contributed this unit test, SDL didn't understand Linux
touchpads, but now it does.

When using emulated display modes, the output size is often larger than the drawable buffer. As the surface damage region is automatically calculated from the smaller drawable buffer size, the damage region needs to be manually set to cover the entire viewport region or visual repaint artifacts can result.
