We want to avoid clutter-x11.h leaking Clutter symbols (i.e. you need to
include clutter.h yourself before including clutter-x11.h), but we need
to do so conditionally, so that ancillary stuff like gtk-doc and
g-ir-scanner get the right types while building Clutter itself.
Since we are trying to eliminate the ClutterGeometry type, we should
replace the only entry point still using it: the ::cursor-event signal
of ClutterText.
Instead of passing the cursor geometry, we should add an accessor
function.
The combination of signal and getter for the cursor geometry means that
we can deprecate ClutterText::cursor-event, and mark it for removal in
Clutter 2.0.

On the other backends we will get some sort of expose event after
showing the stage's window which will queue a redraw. These expose
events don't exist on Wayland so nothing will cause Clutter to queue a
redraw. Weston doesn't bother displaying anything for the stage's
surface until the first buffer is sent, which of course it will never
receive if Clutter doesn't paint anything. This patch just makes it
explicitly queue a redraw after the stage is shown so that we will
always pass at least one frame to the compositor.
The bug can be seen by running test-stage-sizing. That example doesn't
have any animations so it won't try to queue any redraws until
something interacts with it. On the other hand something like
test-actors works fine without the patch because it constantly queues
redraws anyway in order to display the animation.

If clutter is built with both X11 and Wayland support, prefer the
(more complete for now) X11 backend. This matches GTK+'s current
ordering.
This allows distributions to ship a clutter version with both backends
built, and using an envvar to switch to the wayland backend and test
applications.
In the future, applications would be able to choose which backend
they prefer and in which order.
