The function focus_default_window() optionally takes a MetaWindow argument denoting a window that should not be focused. That function calls focus_ancestor_or_top_window() which in turn calls meta_window_focus() to pass focus to another window. However meta_window_focus() gives no guarantee that the given window will end up being the one focused, and can fail in various and creative ways. If that fails, we could possibly end up with the focus window being the one to avoid, while the caller assumes focus was changed, going as far as asserting that fact like meta_window_unmanage() does. As a result, mutter may abort simply because meta_window_focus() failed to set focus on the expected window. To avoid that issue, check that the focus did not end up on the window that we explicitly did not want, and if that's the case, simply fallback to the default focus window.

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 af 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.

Coding style and conventions
The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some additions:
-
Use regular C types and
stdint.h
types instead of GLib fundamental types, except forgboolean
, andguint
/gulong
for GSource ids and signal handler ids. That means e.g.uint64_t
instead ofguint64
,int
instead ofgint
,unsigned int
instead ofguint
if unsignedness is of importance,uint8_t
instead ofguchar
, and so on. -
Try to to limit line length to 80 characters, although it's not a strict limit.
-
Usage of g_autofree and g_autoptr are encouraged. The style used is
g_autofree char *text = NULL;
g_autoptr (MetaSomeThing) thing = NULL;
text = g_strdup_printf ("The text: %d", a_number);
thing = g_object_new (META_TYPE_SOME_THING,
"text", text,
NULL);
thinger_use_thing (rocket, thing);
-
Declare variables at the top of the block they are used, but avoid non-trivial logic among variable declarations. Non-trivial logic can be getting a pointer that may be
NULL
, any kind of math, or anything that may have side effects. -
Instead of boolean arguments in functions, prefer enums or flags when they're more expressive.
-
Use
g_new0()
etc instead ofg_slice_new0()
. -
Initialize and assign floating point variables (i.e.
float
ordouble
) using the formfloating_point = 3.14159
orratio = 2.0
.
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.
