Currently, Clutter does picking by drawing with Cogl and reading
the pixel that's beneath the given point. Since Cogl has a journal
that records drawing operations, and has optimizations to read a
single pixel from a list of rectangle, it would be expected that
we would hit this fast path and not flush the journal while picking.
However, that's not the case: dithering, clipping with scissors, etc,
can all flush the journal, issuing commands to the GPU and making
picking slow. On NVidia-based systems, this glReadPixels() call is
extremely costly.
Introduce geometric picking, and avoid using the Cogl journal entirely.
Do this by introducing a stack of actors in ClutterStage. This stack
is cached, but for now, don't use the cache as much as possible.
The picking routines are still tied to painting.
When projecting the actor vertexes, do it manually and take the modelview
matrix of the framebuffer into account as well.

v2: Fix code style issues
Simplify quadrilateral checks
Remove the 0.5f hack
Differentiate axis-aligned rectangles
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/189
Add a function to check whether a point is inside a quadrilateral
by checking the cross product of vectors with the quadrilateral
points, and the point being checked.
If the passed quadrilateral is zero-sized, no point is ever reported
to be inside it.
This will be used by the next commit when comparing the transformed
actor vertices.

If window decoration is modified within a short period of time, mutter
sometimes starts processing the second request before the first
UnmapNotify event has been received. In this situation, it considers
that the window is not mapped and does not expect another UnmapNotify /
MapNotify event sequence to happen.
This adds a separate counter to keep track of the pending reparents. The
input focus is then restored when MapNotify event is received iff all
the expected pending ReparentNotify events have been received.

Threaded swap wait was added for using together with the Nvidia GLX
driver due to the lack of anything equivalent to the INTEL_swap_event
GLX extension. The purpose was to avoid inhibiting the invocation of
idle callbacks when constantly rendering, as the combination of
throttling on swap-interval 1 and glxSwapBuffers() and the frame clock
source having higher priority than the default idle callback sources
meant they would never be invoked.
This was solved in gbz#779039 by introducing a thread that took care of
the vsync waiting, pushing frame completion events to the main thread
meaning the main thread could go idle while waiting to draw the next
frame instead of blocking on glxSwapBuffers().
As of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363, the
main thread will instead use prediction to estimate when the next frame
should be drawn. A side effect of this is that even without
INTEL_swap_event, we would not block as much, or at all, on
glxSwapBuffers(), as at the time it is called, we have likely already
hit the vblank, or will hit it soon.
After having introduced the swap waiting thread, it was observed that
the Nvidia driver used a considerable amount of CPU waiting for the
vblank, effectively wasting CPU time. The need to call glFinish() was
also problematic as it would wait for the frame to finish, before
continuing. Due to this, remove the threaded swap wait, and rely only on
the frame clock not scheduling frames too early.

[jadahl: Rewrote commit message]
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/602
This reverts commit f57ce7254d.
It causes crashes, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/735, and
changes various expectations relied upon by the renderer code, and being
close to release, it's safer to revert now and reconsider how to remove
the pending swap counter at a later point.
Since Clutter's backend relies on MetaBackend now, initialzation has
to go through meta_init(), both in mutter and in gnome-shell.
However the compositor enum and backend gtype used to enforce the
environment used for tests are private, so instead expose a test
initialization function that can be used from both mutter and
gnome-shell.

If an application provides its window icon via wmhints, then mutter
loads the pixmap specified by the application into a cairo xlib surface. When
creating the surface it specifies the visual, indirectly, via an XRender
picture format.
This is suboptimal, since XRender picture formats don't have a way to specify
16bpp depth, which an application may be using.
In particular, applications are likely to use 16bpp depth pixmaps for their
icons, if the video card offers a 16bpp framebuffer/root window.
This commit drops the XRender middleman, and just tells cairo a visual to use
directly.

This currently uses a hack where it pushes a CoglFramebuffer backed by a
texture to the framebuffer stack, then calls clutter_actor_paint() on
the window actor causing it to render into the framebuffer. This has the
effect that all subsurfaces of a window will be drawn as part of the
window.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/752
We are really more interested in when a window is damaged, rather than
when it's painted, for screen casting windows. This also has the benefit
of not listening on the "paint" signal of the actor, meaning it'll open
doors for hacks currently necessary for taking a screenshot of a window
consisting of multiple surfaces.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/752
Make it possible to listen for damage on a window actor. For X11, the
signal is emitted when damage is reported; for Wayland, it is emitted
when any of the surfaces associated with the window is damaged.

Flatten the subsurface actor tree, making all surface actors children
of the window actor.
Save the subsurface state in a GNode tree in MetaWaylandSurface, where
each surface holds two nodes, one branch, which can be the tree root
or be attached to a parent surfaces branch, and a leaf, which is
used to save the position relative to child branch nodes.
Each time a surface is added or reordered in the tree, unparent all
surface actors from the window actor, traverse all leaves of the
tree and readd the corresponding surface actors back to the window
actor.

Add a boolean parameter to the signal to inform the handler whether the
timeout completed successfully or not. This allows the shell to
gracefully end the pie timer animation and show a success animation when
the click happens.

This object can be generally triggered without a X11 display, so make sure
this is alright. For guard window checks, use our internal
meta_stack_tracker_is_guard_window() call, which is already no-x11 aware.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/730
We indirectly were relying on the MetaX11Stack for this. We strictly
need the _NET_CLIENT_LIST* property updates there, so move our own
internal synchronization to common code.

The MetaShapedTexture created by MetaSurfaceActor used to
be a ClutterActor, which means destruction was taken care
by Clutter.
Now that it's a plain GObject, we need to manually clean it
up.

The surface offset allows an application to move itself in relative
coordinates to its previous position. It is rather ill defined and
partly incompatible with other functionality, which is why we ignore
it generally.
For dnd-surfaces though, it is the de-facto standard for applications
to properly position the dnd-icon below the cursor. Therefore apply
the offset on actor sync by setting the feedback actor anchor.

Commit b12c92e206 ("wayland: Add MetaWaylandSurface::geometry-changed signal")
Added a "geometry-changed" signal on MetaWaylandSurface, but the matching
changes to src/wayland/meta-pointer-confinement-wayland.c made it listen
for geometry-changed on the surface-actor instead of on the surface itself,
leading to errors like these:
gnome-shell[37805]: ../gobject/gsignal.c:2429: signal 'geometry-changed' is invalid for instance '0x5653aa7cfe50' of type 'MetaSurfaceActorWayland'
This commit fixes this.

When a dwell click causes the pointer to move to another surface, a
synthetic event is generated which triggers another dwell click.
Make sure we ignore those to avoid dwell clicking twice in a raw.
Suggested-by: Carlos Garnacho <carlosg@gnome.org>
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/747
Restarting the dwell click immediately would result in a contant
animation showing.
Start dwell detection in its own timeout handler, which has the nice
effect of not constantly showing a dwell animation and also making sure
that the dwell click timeout is started when pointer movement stops.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/747
Sometimes the dwell timeout doesn't start again after quickly moving the
pointer. That happens if `should_stop_dwell` returns TRUE for the last
motion event we receive: It will stop the current timeout, but not start
a new one until we receive another event where the moved distance is
smaller than the threshold.
To fix this, always call `should_start_dwell` and `start_dwell_timeout`
instead of using an else-block, this makes sure we start a new dwell
timeout still during the same motion event that stopped the old one.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/746
And add the necessary glue so those initialize a X11 clutter backend.
This should get Clutter tests that are dependent on windowing to work
again, thus they were enabled back again.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/672
The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.
