Instead of having everyone check net.hadess.SensorProxy themselves, have
this all controlled by the MetaOrientationManager, and proxied everywhere
else via a readonly property in org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.
We want to attach more complex policies here, and it seems better to
centralize the handling of the autorotation feature rather than
implementing policy changes all over the place.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Instead of blindly hoping that `$INCLUDE` contains the parent directory
of `gsettings-desktop-schemas`.
Because `gsettings-desktop-schemas.pc` says:

As explained in the last commit, gnome-shell needs to be able to thaw

We don't have enough Xlib code in mutter ...
Joking aside, it can be useful to make the cursor invisible
without hiding it, for example for replacing the actual cursor
with an actor in gnome-shell; the real cursor should still
update the focus surface in that case, and not sneak into
screenshots or -casts.

The shell uses the PID of windows to map them to apps or to find out
which window/app triggered a dialog. It currently fails to do that in
some situations on Wayland, because meta_window_get_pid() only returns a
valid PID for x11 clients.
So use the client PID instead of the X11-exclusive _NET_WM_PID property
to find out the PID of the process that started the window. We can do
that by simply renaming the already existing
meta_window_get_client_pid() API to meta_window_get_pid() and moving
the old API providing the _NET_WM_PID to meta_window_get_netwm_pid().

Since the order of destruction during MetaDisplay tear down is a bit

Better to have the relevant object figure out whether it is a good

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for

in generic code.

The check-alive feature is there for the user to be able to terminate
frozen applications more easily. However, sometimes applications are
implemented in a way where they fail to be reply to ping requests in a
timely manner, resulting in that, to the compositor, they are
indistinguishable from clients that have frozen indefinitely.
When using an application that has these issues, the GUI showed in
response to the failure to respond to ping requests can become annoying,
as it disrupts the visual presentation of the application.
To allow users to work-around these issues, add a setting allowing them
to configure the timeout waited until an application is considered
frozen, or disabling the check completely.

This currently uses a hack where it pushes a CoglFramebuffer backed by a

Now that MetaShapedTexture is not a ClutterActor anymore, it does
not make sense to make it a MetaCullable semi-implementation. This
is, naturally, a responsibility of MetaSurfaceActor, since now
MetaShapedTexture is a ClutterContent and as such, it only cares
about what to draw.
Move the MetaCullable implementation of MetaShapedTexture to
MetaSurfaceActor.

MetaWindowActor is the compositor-side representative of a
MetaWindow. Specifically it represents the geometry of the
window under Clutter scene graph. MetaWindowActors are backed
by MetaSurfaceActors, that represent the windowing system's
surfaces themselves. Naturally, these surfaces have textures
with the pixel content of the clients associated with them.
These textures are represented by MetaShapedTexture.
MetaShapedTextures are currently implemented as ClutterActor
subclasses that override the paint function to paint the
textures it holds.
Conceptually, however, Clutter has an abstraction layer for
contents of actors: ClutterContent. Which MetaShapedTexture
fits nicely, in fact.
Make MetaShapedTexture a ClutterContent implementation. This
forces a few changes in the stack:
* MetaShapedTexture now handles buffer scale.
* We now paint into ClutterPaintNode instead of the direct
framebuffer.
* Various pieces of Wayland code now use MetaSurfaceActor
instead of MetaShapedTexture.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland doesn't override size negotiation
vfuncs anymore

On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/647
Some special modifiers (typically "Control_L" used for locate-pointer in
mutter/gnome-shell or "Super_L" for overlay) must be handled separately
from the rest of the key bindings.
Add a new flag `META_KEY_BINDING_NO_AUTO_GRAB` so we can tell when
dealing with that special keybinding which should not be grabbed
automatically like the rest of the keybindings, and skip those when
changing the grabs of all keybindings.

Allow checking whether the pointer is visible without accessing the
trackers internal is_showing property. While we don't need this just yet

The way code was structured made it easy to misunderstand things as the
surface actor of a window actor could change over time. So is not the
case, however, the intention of the corresponding "update" function was
so that a surface actor could be assigned to a window actor as soon as
the X11 window was associated with its corresponding wl_surface, if the
window in question came from Xwayland.
Restructure the code and internal API a bit to make it clear that a
window actor only once gets a surface actor assigned to it, and that it
after that point never changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/659
In all places (including src/wayland) we tap into meta_x11_display* focus

rework input focus management so it's the other way around.
We now have high-level meta_display_(un)set_input_focus functions, which
perform the backend-independent maintenance, and calls into the X11

Shell is using these, which was revealed by
1bbb5c8107 breaking its build when
generating its introspection due to meta_startup_notification_get_type()
not being found.
We keep the class structs private, so in practice MetaStartupSequence
and MetaBackend can't be derived from (the are semi-private).
Make meson link libmutter using -fvisibility=hidden, and introduce META_EXPORT
and META_EXPORT_TEST defines to mark a symbols as visible.
The TEST version is meant to be used to flag symbols that are only used
internally by mutter tests, but that should not be considered public API.
This allows us to be more precise in selecting what is exported and what is
not, without the need of a version-script file that would be more complicated
to maintain.

MonitorManager was inheriting from MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton, this was
causing introspection to see this like a GDBus skeleton object exposing to
clients methods that were not required.
Also, this required us to export meta_dbus_* symbols to the library, while
these should be actually private.
So, make MetaMonitorManager to be just a simple GObject holding a skeleton
instance, and connect to its signals reusing most of the code with just few
minor changes.

Some types were declared in the public headers so that g-ir-scanner
could resolve the types. This caused warnings when using
-Wredundant-decls, so only redeclare them for the gir scanner.
This is a GAppLaunchContext subclass meant to replace usage of
GdkAppLaunchContext in gnome-shell.
Launch contexts get created from the MetaStartupNotification as
they are closely related. The messaging underneath depends on
the availability of a X11 display, if there is one we go through
it (and libsn). If there is none, we still create startup sequences
manually for wayland clients.
This is a simple libcanberra abstraction object, so we are able
to play file/theme sounds without poking into GTK+/X11. Play
requests are delegated to a separate thread, so we don't block
UI on cards that are slow to wake up from power saving.
We will introduce specialized MetaWindowActors for X11
and Wayland in the future, so it needs to be derivable.
Make it a derivable class, and introduce a private field.
The MetaWindowActorClass definition is in the private

to create MetaWindowActor implementations of their own.
That is, MetaWindowActor is only internally derivable.

It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.

It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
Following up last commit, this commit adds a CoglFramebuffer
argument to meta_shadow_paint(), and stops using the draw
framebuffer internally.
The only consumer of this API, MetaWindowActor, still passes
the draw framebuffer though.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
It'll be installed in the meta/ directory, so put the template files in
the corresponding directory in the tarball. This will also simplify the
port to meson.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
Thanks to G_DEFINE_DYNAMIC_TYPE_EXTENDED(), this is a trivial addition that
will allow using G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC() or G_ADD_PRIVATE_DYNAMIC()
when declaring a plugin.

Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
If we wait with opening the X11 window decoration GDK connection, we
might end up with a terminated X11 server before we finish
initializing, depending on the things happening after spawning Xwayland

e.g. creating a couple of temporary X11 connections, and on disconnect,
if they happen to be the last client, the X server will terminate
itself.

The new tiling code, instead of based around "tiling states", is instead

right edge can be left resizable.
This system also is easily extended to support corner tiling. We also,
using the new "size state" system, also keep normal, tiled, and

between maximized and tiled states without reverting to normal in
