When Mutter is restarted and cleans up the window positions
cleanly, we need to add gravity adjustments. We can detect
this easily.
- Windows started before the window manager (should add
add gravity adjustments)
- Replacing a different window manager (should add gravity
adjustments)
- A crash (no adjustments needed)
In GNOME the first two cases shouldn't happen in normal
usage, so assume the third case (though that *shouldn't*
happen in normal usage either.)
The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.
Currently touch events are ignored in the core event handler,
and hence dealt with within GDK. If those touch events were
emulating pointer events, GDK would attempt to convert back
those events to pointer events as the frame GdkWindow doesn't
have the GDK_TOUCH_MASK set.
This results in XI_TouchBegin events being initially processed
by GDK, converted to button events, and triggering a grab op
that subverts touch events into pointer events, so the touch
is never ever seen again by GDK. This leaves GDK in an
inconsistent internal state wrt pointer grabs, so future
pointer-emulating touches will refer to the same window forever.
Fix this by handling touch events minimally, just enough to
convert XI_TouchBegin to GDK_BUTTON_PRESS within mutter, so GDK
is bypassed for every touch event just like it is for pointer
events. This, and the XIGrabDevice() that keeps coercing pointer
events when the grab operation starts, are enough to fix window
drag and drop on touch devices.

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

Remove some obvious server grabs from the window creation codepath,
also ones that are taken at startup.
During startup, there is no need to grab: we install the event handlers
before querying for the already-existing windows, so there is no danger
that we will 'lose' some window. We might try to create a window twice
(if it comes back in the original query and then we get an event for it)
but the code is already protected against such conditions.
When windows are created later, we also do not need grabs, we just need
appropriate error checking as the window may be destroyed at any time
(or it may have already been destroyed).
The stack tracker is unaffected here - as it listens to CreateNotify and
DestroyNotify events and responds directly, the internal stack
representation will always be consistent even if the window goes away while
we are processing MapRequest or similar.

Server grabs are not as evil as you might expect, but there is agreement
in that their usage should be limited.
Server grabs can cause things to go rather wrong when mutter emits
a signal while it has grabbed the server. If the receiver of that signal
waits for a synchronous action performed by another client, then you
have a deadlock. This happens with Mali binary GLESv2 drivers :(

The compositor code used to handle X windows that didn't have a
corresponding MetaWindow (see commit d538690b), which is why the
attribute query is separated.
As that doesn't happen any more, we can clean up. No functional changes.
Suggested by Owen Taylor.

When a client spontaneously focuses their window, perhaps in response
to WM_TAKE_FOCUS we'll get a FocusOut/FocusIn pair with same serial.
Updating display->focus_serial in response to FocusOut then was causing
us to ignore FocusIn and think that the focus was not on any window.
We need to distinguish this spontaneous case from the case where we
set the focus ourselves - when we set the focus ourselves, we're careful
to combine the SetFocus with a property change so that we know definitively
what focus events we have already accounted for.

For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Cache the computed border size so we can fetch the border size at
any time without worrying that we'll be spending too much time in
the theme code (in some cases we might allocate a PangoFontDescription
or do other significant work.)
The main effort here is clearing the cache when various bits of window
state change that could potentially affect the computed borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.

Clients like on-screen keyboards try not to take focus when the user clicks
on their window by setting the Input hint to false. However, due to GTK+ and
GDK bugs, the public API for setting the Input hint to false don't remove
WM_TAKE_FOCUS from WM_PROTOCOLS, unintentionally putting them into Globally
Active mode.
These clients also expect that since they don't want to take focus, they want
the focus to remain on the existing window. In this case, for clients like
on-screen keyboards, it's so they can send synthesized keyboard events to the
focused window.

Rather than do the cursor -> name translation ourselves in two different
places, use the facilities in libXcursor to do it for us. Put the shared
piece of code in meta-cursor-tracker, and use it for both server-side and
client-side cursor loading.
The part of code dealing with move/resize grab in display.c is only
responsible of this behavior when triggered with a modifier. So it
shouldn't stop the move/resize behavior triggered from a mouse event
without modifier on the title bar or sides of the window.

As part of Wayland support, we should hold the shape and opaque regions
on the MetaWindow rather than fetching them in the MetaWindowActor, as
this gives us better flexibility as to where the regions are set, and
allows for easier Wayland support.
To make merging easier with the Wayland branch, we also append the _x11
suffix to functions that use the X SHAPE extension to fetch the shaped
regions.

To allow other clients (gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon)
to monitor user activity, introduce a DBus interface for the
idle monitor inside mutter.

When running as a wayland compositor, we can't use the xserver's
IDLETIME, because that's updated only in response to X events.
But we have all the events ourselves, so we can just run the timer
in process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706005
Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

Now MonitorManager does its own handling of XRandR events, which
means we no longer handle ConfigureNotify on the root window.
MetaScreen reacts to MonitorManager::monitor-changed and updates
its internal state, including the new size.
This paves the way for doing display configuration using only
the dummy backend, which would allow testing wl_output interfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
When we set the input focus, we first set the predicted window,
and then try to process focus events. But as XI_FocusOut on the
existing window comes before XI_FocusIn on the new window, we'll
see the focus out on the old window and think the focus is going
to nothing, which makes mutter think the prediction failed.
This didn't really matter as nothing paid attention to the focus
window changing, but with gnome-shell's focus rework, we'll try
and drop keyboard focus in events like these.
Fix this by making sure that we ignore focus window changes of our
own cause when updating the focus window field, by ignoring all
focus events that have a serial the same as the focus request or
lower. Note that if mutter doens't make any requests after the
focus request, this could be racy, as another client could steal
the focus, but mutter would ignore it as the serial was the same.
Bump the serial by making a dummy ChangeProperty request to a
mutter-controlled window in this case.

This will make it possible to implement input source switching in
gnome-shell using the popular modifiers-only keybinding that's
implemented on the X server through an XKB option.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697002
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
If an app pops up an OR window and sets input focus to it, like
Steam does, we'll think the focus window is null, causing us to
think the app is not focused.
OR windows should not be special if they get input focus, where
the input focus would be set to NULL. Instead, the window should
be marked as focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
Previously, we were handling failure to respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
in the code path for throttling motion events. But this meant that
if a window didn't respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST and there were no
motion events - for a keyboard resize, or after the end of the grab
operation - it would end up in a stuck state.
Use a separate per-window timeout to reliably catch the failure to respond
to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
