Jonas Dreßler dac09a8e23 window: Use client PID for meta_window_get_pid()
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().

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.

Contributing

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general, look at the file you're editing for inspiration.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
