The "activate" and "deactivate" signals on ClutterStage are used by Cally to track the key-focus when the user is interacting with shell UI. key-focus only gets tracked while the stage is activated. Wayland has no concept of the stage receiving focus or not, so right now the activation state is bound to whether there's a focus_window in meta_display_sync_wayland_input_focus(). Since display->focus_window is set pretty much all the time, this effectively binds activation state to whether the stage holds a grab or not. This is almost good enough, but it misses cases where key-focus is on the stage without a grab, for example when keyboard-navigating the panel after using Ctrl+Alt+Tab. It seems to make more sense to bind the activation state to whether key-focus is set to an actor or to NULL, so let's do that instead.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

Git messages
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message
guidelines. We require an URL
to either an issue or a merge request in each commit. Try to always prefix
commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as compositor: or
clutter/actor:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit
message body than too little.
Default branch
The default development branch is main. If you still have a local
checkout under the old name, use:
git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
