Since we're in the stable release phase we can add new API but we can't break old API until the next major version bump

@leolost2605 is it possible to add the new API without breaking the old API so we can move forward? |

@danirabbit finally got around to updating this so it should be ready without breaking the current API :) |

Currently we do monitor labels quite awkardly. First the display plug has to go via dbus to the daemon having to send color info, monitor index, label, x, y then the daemon spawns the labels and then gala looks at the window title and positions the label.
This can be made properly now by just using a wayland protocol/ setting the mutter hints on x11.
Goes with elementary/pantheon-wayland#3 and elementary/settings-display#401
