All WM events (passive button grabs and passive keyboard grabs)
are handled through clutter now, so we must make sure we spoof
them even if they happen on frames (because that's where we
grab on)
Weirdly, clutter stopped segfaulting when we call clutter_x11 methods
and the backend is not right, but this is correct anyway, and
probably fixes some BadDrawable errors in mutter-wayland on x11,
caused by mixing windows of the outer X and windows of Xwayland.
Mouse event handling was duplicated, resulting in weird interactions
if clutter was allowed to see certain events (for example under
wayland, where it gets all events). Because now clutter sees all
X events, even when running as an x11 compositor, we can handle
everything using the clutter variants.
At the same time, rewrite a little the passive button grab code,
to make it clear what is being matched on what and why.
meta_ui_window_is_widget() returns FALSE for frame windows, so we
must filter those explicitly (by letting the event go to gtk
and from there to MetaFrames). Also, for proper gtk widgets
(window menus) we want to let gtk see all events, including
keyboard, otherwise we break keynav in the window menu.
This means that having a window menu open disables keybindings
(because the event doesn't run through clutter)
We must spoof events to clutter even if they are associated
with a MetaWindow, because keyboard events are always associated
with one (the focus window), and we must process keybindings
for window togheter with the global ones if they include Super,
because we're not going to see them again.
... and individually. It turns out that updating the opaque region
was causing the shape region to be updated, which was causing a new
shape mask to be generated and uploaded to the GPU. Considering
GTK+ regenerates the opaque region on pretty much any focus change,
this is not good.
We need a MetaWaylandSurface to build a MetaSurfaceActor, but
we don't have one until we get the set_window_xid() call from
XWayland. On the other hand, plugins expect to see the window
actor right from when the window is created, so we need this
empty state.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
gnome-shell has some complex tracking to set the X input focus
correctly, assuming various things about how the stage is set up in X11.
For instance, it assumes that all actors that get key focus are
gnome-shell Chrome actors that will get events through the stage, so
when one of them is focused, it will try to set the focus back to the
stage.
In Wayland, windows are considered chrome actors that will get key
events through the stage, so this only has the result of unfocusing any
windows that have just received key focus.
We should probably move this input focus moving to mutter instead of
gnome-shell so we can better use mutter's internal state and heuristics.
In order for the compositor to properly determine whether a client
is an X11 client or not, we need to wait until XWayland calls
set_window_id to mark the surface as an XWayland client. To prevent
the compositor from getting tripped up over this, make sure that
the window has been fully initialized by the time we call
meta_compositor_add_window.

Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

Ever since the change to create the output window synchronously at startup,
there hasn't been any time where somebody could set a stage region the
output window was ready, so this was effectively dead code.

I know it's confusing with the triple negative, but unredirected is how
we track it elsewhere: we have an 'unredirected' flag, and 'should_unredirect'.

We no longer unmap the toplevel windows during normal operation. The
toplevel state is tied to the window's lifetime.
Call meta_compositor_add_window / meta_compositor_remove_window instead...
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Calling XIGrabDevice has no effect under wayland, because the
xserver is getting events from us. Instead, we need to use our
own interfaces for grabs.
At the same time, we can simplify the public API, as plugins
should always listen for events using clutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705917
We can't use the X11 stage window, if clutter is not using the X11
backend (and even if it was, it would be bogus when the xwayland
server is not the one clutter is talking to). Instead, we introduce
the concept of "focus type", which we use to differentiate the
various meanings of None in the focus_xwindow field.

Remove grab window and cursor from the API, and just grab always
on the stage window with no cursor.
This is mainly to remove the X11 usage in the public API, in preparation

This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.
Note: At this point no input is supported

GNOME Shell's actors aren't touch capable, so we need to make sure that
they get the fallback pointer emulated events for now. This fixes the top
bar and other elements not working on a touchscreen without a grab.

gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

We substract one from the unredirect counter when enable_unredirect_for_screen
gets called. It is an unsigned integer so substracting one from zero (which means enable) would overflow and thus keep it peramently enabled.
This should never happen because it means there is an unmatched
enable / disable pair somewhere. So in addition to fixing it add a
warning when this case gets triggered.

Commit 4f2bb583bf changed things so that the compositor used
clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full (CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT
to get after-paint notification and send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, but this
doesn't actually work, since Clutter will already have blocked for
VBlank before calling post-paint functions.
The result is that frame synced toolkits like GTK 3.8 will normally
only be able to draw every other frame.
Since ::paint doesn't work either, a new function
clutter_stage_set_paint_callback() has been added to Clutter
(and will be included in the 1.14 branch)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698794
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
The hierarchy handling is handled in the shell by adding stuff
directly to the uiGroup, and we have a dedicated actor for
the overview there, so we don't need this anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
If _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION is set when the window is first mapped, the
initial load_properties will happen before the window actor is created,
and we'll have a call to meta_compositor_window_shape_changed. Just
fizzle this call out instead of doing anything fancy, as we'll pick
up the opaque region when the window actor is eventually created.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695813
Window actors might be temporarily parented to intermediate actors during
effect, but we should not require that the plugin keeps track of stacking.
Rather, assume that the intermediate groups holds a whole stack, and
applying position within it.

When windows get redirected off screen, all that gets left behind
is black. We don't want to flicker black at startup, though.
This commit maps the overlay window early, before redirecting
toplevels, so they end up getting snapshotted onto the background
pixmap of the overlay window when the overlay window is mapped.

Commit 4f2bb583bf started to use a clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full
callback instead of connecting to the stage's paint signal.
The callback has to return TRUE if it wants to be called again, so fix that
as we want to call it for every frame (otherwise apps supporting the WM SYNC
protocol will stop drawing).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695006
Doing so causes useless full stage redraws and breaks culling
as clutter cannot know how the signal handler affects painting.
So use clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full with the
CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT flag instead.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693922
The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Add a function to convert from g_get_monotonic_time() to a
"high-resolution server timestamp" with microsecond precision.
These timestamps will be used when communicating frame timing
information to the client.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Using a "sync delay" where we wait for 2 ms after the vblank before
starting to draw the next frame provides for much more predictable
latency for applications. An application can know that if it completes
a frame any time between 8ms before the vblank to the vblank,
it will reliably be drawn on the following vblank period, rather than
having an unpredictable latency depending on whether the compositor
is currently busy drawing a frame or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
When the application provides the extended second counter for
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, send a client message with completion

Replace the unused meta_compositor_set_updates() with
a reversed-meaning meta_compositor_set_updates_frozen(), and use
it to implement freezing application window updates during
interactive resizing. This avoids drawing new areas of the window
with blank content before the application has a chance to repaint.

Some windows may already have event masks on them that we've selected
for, especially if we're using GTK+ windows. In particular, this fixes
window menus in the XI2 port.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690581
In random places that are not grabs, we selected for events on
things like the root window, stage window, COW and more. Switch
these over to using the proper XI2 APIs.

Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).
Instead, provide a hook to allow the compositor to filter out keybindings
before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.

The "multiple plugins loaded at once" strategy was always a big fiction:
while it may be viable if you're super careful, it's fragile and requires
a bit of infrastructure that we would be better off without.
Note that for simplicity, we're keeping the MetaPluginManager, but it only
manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.

If we get two configure events on the root window in close
sequence, then we could get the sequence:
ConfigureNotify on the root window w1xh1
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
ConfigureNotify on the root window, w2xh2
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w2, h2)
ConfigureNotify on the stage window, w1, h1)
Processed by Clutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
Leaving the stage at the wrong size. To avoid fighting with Clutter,
switch to resizing the stage with XResizeWindow(), similar to how a
toplevel window is handled by a window manager.
XFixesCreateRegionFromWindow does not take the window's position into account,
which results into setting a wrong shape for windows not located on the
leftmost monitor.
Fix that by creating the region from the window's MetaRectangle.
