Without these devices, things that depend on the existance of input
device classes won't know about the existance of e.g. pointer devices,
if the only pointer device is from a virtual one.
This requires handling situations where e.g. a device doesn't have a
device node thus can't be matched against a udev device.

Libinput will queue a few initial events when a seat is assigned to the
udev backend; a result of it probing udev adding detected devices. For
us to see these events, we need to dispatch libinput before going idle,
as nothing will show up on the libinput file descriptor until something
else (e.g. keyboard event or mouse movement) wakes us up.
Do this by adding a prepare() function to the libinput GSource, that
checks whether there are any events in the queue already, and return
TRUE if so is the case, causing us to dispatch before going fully idle.

The API for NotifyKeyboardKeycode() does not mention what type of
keycode is expected to be submitted.
So, clarify in the API that the keycode to submit is expected to be an
evdev keycode.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1732>
Currently, when a remote desktop user submits a keycode, it will be
interpreted differently, when using the x11 session, instead of a
wayland session.
In a wayland session, submitting a keycode will have the expected
result (as if the key was pressed locally).
In a x11 session, this is not the case. Instead of getting the expected
key, some other key will be pressed (or sometimes even none).
The reason for this is that the native backend interprets the keycode
as evdev keycode and the x11 backend interprets the keycode as xkb
keycode.
To ensure that both backends produce the same behaviour when submitting
a keycode, fix the x11 backend to always interpret the keycode as evdev
keycode, instead of a xkb keycode.

GObject signals pass the emitting GObject as the first argument to
signal handler callbacks. When refactoring the grab-op-begin/end signals
to remove MetaScreen with commit 1d5e37050df2b8e1db8b5ea301ee0162d77d4b74,
the "screen" argument was replaced with a "display" argument instead of
being removed completely. This made us call the signal handlers with two
identical MetaDisplay arguments, which is very confusing and actually
wasn't handled in a grab-op-begin handler in gnome-shell.
So fix this by not adding the MetaDisplay as an argument to those
signals, GObject will take care of that for us.

We're going to round the workspace backgrounds in the new overview for
gnome-shell 40.
So far corner-rounding was only possible for StWidgets because the
rounded clipping was done using cairo drawing. We now need rounded
clipping for ClutterActors too because backgrounds are drawn using
ClutterActors (or more specifically a ClutterContent). To implement
that, first a ClutterOffscreenEffect subclass together with a fragment
shader from GSK (see gskSetOutputColor() [1] in the GSK GL renderer
code) was investigated, and while that was generic and worked quite
well, it was extremely slow for the case of drawing wallpapers because
of all the FBOs that had to be allocated.
This is the new, more performant approach: Use the same fragment shader,
but perform the rounded clipping right in MetaBackgroundContent while
we're painting the wallpaper. This has almost no performance impact,
with the downside of not being a generic solution.
To allow for rounded clipping not only at the edges of the wallpaper,
but using any given bounding rectangle, the API exposes not only the
radius, but also a bounding rect.

Currently, the documentation for NotifyPointerAxis() just mentions that
a smooth scroll event is emitted.
However, this is not entirely correct. For each NotifyPointerAxis(),
mutter emits an emulated discrete scrolling event based on the
submitted accumulated smooth scrolling deltas.
Additionally, it doesn't mention how the motion deltas need to be
interpreted.
So, document the NotifyPointerAxis() notification better by mentioning
the emulation of discrete scroll events, how these discrete scroll
events are calculated and how the motion deltas need to be interpreted.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1727>
When a remote desktop user emits a virtual smooth scrolling event, a
smooth scroll event, that is not emulated, is emitted and on occasion
a discrete scroll event, that is emulated, is emitted.
As base for the discrete scrolling event, the smooth scrolling steps
are accumulated.
When the accumulated smooth scrolling steps surpass the
DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP, the discrete scrolling event is emitted.
Currently, mutter uses for DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP the value 10, which is
a terrible value to work with, especially for high resolution mouse
wheels.
When a triple resolution mouse wheel is used, each scrolling step will
have the value 3 1/3.
Three of such events won't however surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP.
To fix this situation, add DBL_EPSILON to the calculation step, when
checking for the discrete scroll event to ensure that 3 smooth scroll
events, with each having the value 3 1/3, emit a discrete scrolling
event.

MetaVirtualInputDeviceX11 currently doesn't handle smooth scroll events
at all.
So, if a user of the remote desktop API uses smooth scroll events, then
only the wayland backend handles these events.
The user of the remote desktop API however, might not know which
backend is being used and actually the user should not even have to
care about it.
Actual smooth events cannot be emulated in the X11 events.
What can be done however is accumulating smooth events and then when
the accumulated steps surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP value, emit a
discrete scroll event.
So, do exactly that, to make smooth scroll events work when the remote
desktop API is used with the x11 backend.

Given X11 nature, the pointer "leaves" the stage anytime it wanders into
a client window, or any other areas that are not deemed part of the
stage input region.
Yet we want to stay correct in those situations, e.g. have the clutter
side reasonably in sync, picking and highlighting to work properly, etc.
In order to achieve that, emulate motion events on XI_RawMotion. These
are as much throttled as our pointer tracking for a11y, in order to avoid
too many XIQueryPointer sync calls. This emulation only kicks in anytime
that X11 notifies us that we are not "on" the stage.
This replaces some sync_pointer() calls in GNOME Shell code that are
there just to compensate for this trait of X11, e.g. in the message tray
code.

Ensure we issue a motion event for the current pointer position,
as there might be situations where compositor modals get X grabs
from other clients stacked on top, or missed events in between
otherwise.
Ensure the Clutter state is still up-to-date afterwards here. This
replaces some sync_pointer() calls done in GNOME Shell code, always
done after modality changes.

Do these Wayland operations (that apply on both native and nested backends)

In the case that DnD is performed and succeeds, we want to release
the grab early, and let the transfer IPC happen in the back. For
that to happen without a hitch, drag source and offer must be left
related to each other after undoing the grab, even though the default
ungrabbing code does that automatically (indirectly, by unsetting the
drag focus).
In these cases, we used to manually unset the current source, so
this decoupling was skipped. Notably, one missed case is X11 DnD,
so we might end up with the situation there that DnD did succeed,
transfer is ongoing, but the source and offer are already decoupled,
this confused the machinery and missed the finishing XdndFinished
to be emitted to the X11 drag source.
The prior commits prepared for this source/offer decoupling being
a manual operation, this commit avoids doing this automatically
when ungrabbing.

This object is just being detached, with no code unref'ing it. Do
this whenever the XDnD selection goes unowned, usually a good

g_set_error_literal() asserts that the provided message is not NULL.
If it is NULL, the function is entirely no-op.
This resulted in a NULL dereference of the GError, which remained
NULL in this case, when trying to print a warning in
clutter_stage_cogl_redraw_view().

PipeWire recently introduced busy buffers, which actually fixes the last remaining

cogl_framebuffer_flush() ones.
Switch to cogl_framebuffer_flush() in all three stream sources.

When a transfer request is done to the MetaSelectionSourceRemote source,
it's translated to a SelectionTransfer signal, which the remote desktop
server is supposed to respond to with SelectionWrite.
A timeout (set to 15 seconds) is added to handle too long timeouts,
which cancels the transfer request.

The original implementation of ::touch-mode tested for keyboard
presence to know whether the OSK and other touch-only features were
enabled.
However that didn't pan out, every webcam, card reader and kitchen
sink like to live a second life as EV_KEY devices. This made the
detection of actual external keyboards a much harder task than it
sounds, and was thus removed in commit f8e2234ce59fbb.
Try a different approach here, and test for pointer devices, it
doesn't matter if internal or external devices, the rationales:
- It is significantly easier to get this right, there's virtually
no devices with abs/rel axes that don't try to be a real input
device of some sorts.
- It's not as good as testing for keyboard presence, but it's the
next best thing. These usually come in pairs, except in weird
setups.
- It is better than not having anything for a number of situations:
- Non-convertible laptops with a touchscreen will get touch-mode
disabled due to touchpad presence (plus keyboard). There's
been complains about OSK triggering with those.
- Same for desktop machines with USB touchscreens, the mouse
(and presumably keyboard) attached would make touch-mode
get in the middle.
- Convertible laptops with a broken tablet-mode switch get a
chance to work on tablet modes that do disable input devices
(e.g. detachable keyboards, or via firmware)
- Kiosk machines, tablets, and other devices that have a
touchscreen but will not regularly have a mouse/keyboard
will get the touch-mode enabled.
All in all, this seems to cover more situations the way we expect it,
there's only one situation that the OSK would show where it might
not be desirable, and one that might not show when it better should:
- Tablets and kiosk machines that get one keyboard plugged, but not a
mouse, will still show the OSK, despite being able to type right
away.
- Convertible laptops with broken/unreliable tablet-mode switch (e.g.
ignored by the kernel) rely entirely on the device/firmware
characteristics to work. If after folding into tablet mode the
touchpad remains active, touch-mode will not turn on.
Fixing the tablet-mode switch on these devices should be preferred,
as that'll also make libinput magically disable the touchpad.
The latter can be worked around with the a11y toggle. The former is
merely inconvenient, and nothing prevents the user from plugging a mouse
in addition.

Technically this is still wrong if the source actor or dnd actor are
transformed in other ways. However geometry scale is the by far most
common case and we currently lack convenience API in Clutter to

Since commit c255031b6d6, we allow some modifier+scroll events to
pass through to Clutter to enable gnome-shell to handle them. That
action shouldn't trigger a modifier-only action at the same time, so

Since commit c255031b6d6 we pass scroll-events through to
the compositor if the window_grab_modifiers are pressed;
in order to allow gnome-shell to check for those events,
expose the struct member as a MetaDisplay property.
Also take the opportunity to pick a more generic name, now
that the modifier is no longer used exclusively for mouse
clicks (unless we maintain the notion of scroll events as
button 4 and 5 "clicks").
