While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

With the newest changes to GTK3, some things were changed. This patch
now uses the features introduced in gtk3-compat.h in previous patches.
This patch also introduces a macro named USE_GTK3 that is used to
differentiate between GTK3 and GTK2. Its main use is differenting
between expose and draw handlers for GtkWidget subclasses.
The draw vs expose handlers question is usually handled by using ifdefs
at the beginning and end to set up/tear down a cairo_t and then use it.
However, when the function is too different and too many ifdefs would be
necessary, two versions of the function are written. This is currently
the case for:
- MetaAccelLabel
- MetaFrames

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
