The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.
We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.

src/core/main.c: Add --mutter-plugins argument (overrides GConf value)
src/core/prefs.c src/include/prefs.h: Add meta_prefs_override_clutter_plugins()
to set a value for clutter_plugins that overrides the value from GConf
ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).
terse variable names, simplify the plugin interface or consider tweaks
for maintainability.
* Renames plg -> plugin
* Renames mgr ->plugin_mgr (since in a combined window and composite
manager I think "mgr" will end up being ambiguous in places)
* Renames PluginWorkspaceRectangle -> MetaRectangle (We are no longer
concerned about mbwm2 portability)
* Renames a few one letter variable names e.g. a -> window, r ->rect
* Renames some vars to indicate what they represent not their data type,
e.g. group1, group2 ->workspace0, workspace1
* Renames the variable mcw -> mc_window to make it more immediately
obvious what it represents.
* Removes the verbose META_COMPOSITOR_CLUTTER_PLUGIN_SWITCH_WORKSPACE macro,
and just uses metacity_plugin instead.
* Instead of hanging data of the plugins global descriptor, we just use a
standalone static global variable.
* Make do_init a function pointer inside the plugin descriptors instead of
special casing it and using another g_module_symbol call. This also removes
the need for the META_COMPOSITOR_CLUTTER_PLUGIN_INIT_FUNC macro.
* A bunch of anal 80char fixes
* Removes the screen_width,height variables from the plugin descriptor struct
and add a plugin API instead.

Second half of the switch to using x-macros for keybindings so that
we don't have lots of places with the same information which must
stay in the same order. This time it's screen bindings.
* src/core/screen-bindings.h: New file, containing screen bindings.
* src/core/schema-bindings.c: added ability to output screen bindings.
* src/core/window-bindings.h: tiny tweak to comment
* src/core/keybindings.c: generate function prototypes using s-b.h;
several handlers modified to use ints rather than ints cast into
pointers, or renamed.
* src/include/prefs.h: generate names of bindings using s-b.h;
generate screen_handlers using s-b.h;
arguments to bindings are ints and not ints cast to pointers;
several handler functions renamed to consistent names.
* src/core/prefs.c (meta_prefs_set_num_workspaces, init_bindings):
generate screen_handlers using s-b.h;
generate screen_string_bindings using s-b.h (and add check for
null bindings in init_bindings to enable this simply).
