Jonas Dreßler bf4aff823f window: Fall back to main window monitor for highest scale monitor
MetaWindow always tries to have a main monitor: If the frame rect is empty
and the window has not been positioned, in meta_window_constructed() we fall
back to asking the backend for the current monitor, and in
meta_window_wayland_update_main_monitor() we fall back to
meta_window_find_monitor_from_id(), which then falls back to the primary
monitor.

In general this means that window->monitor is always set as long as there is
a monitor around.

For getting the highest-scale-monitor the window is on, we currently rely
completely on the frame rect. If the frame rect is empty, we set the
highest-scale-monitor to NULL. Since we usually know though which monitor
the window is, or will be on, and window->monitor is even set to that, we
can just fall back to window->monitor for the highest-scale-monitor.

This makes sure ::highest-scale-monitor-changed is emitted right after the
window is created, and it's set to the correct monitor that the window will
be on. This in turn means that we can send a correct wp_fractional_scale
fraction_scale event to clients right away.

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.
