The goal here is to make MetaWindow represent a toplevel, managed window,
regardless of if it's X11 or Wayland, and build an abstraction layer up.
Right now, most of the X11 code is in core/ and the wayland code in wayland/,
but in the future, I want to move a lot of the X11 code to a new toplevel, x11/.
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...
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. Theoretically, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab, so we remove
the complex unmap tracking for this later.
When GDK sends an unmaximize _NET_WM_STATE ClientMessage, it tells us to remove
the _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ and _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT states. Before
this time, it would independently call:
meta_window_unmaximize (window, META_MAXIMIZE_HORIZONTAL);
meta_window_unmaximize (window, META_MAXIMIZE_VERTICAL);
Which, besides being foolishly inefficient, would also mess up our saved_rect
tracking, causing the window to only look like it was unmaximized vertically.
Make this code more intelligent, so it causes us to unmaximize in one call.

This grab was added in commit caf43a123fhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381127
to minimize window flickering when switching workspaces.
While this grab is held, some signals are emitted to the shell,
which can lead to deadlocks (reproduced under Mali binary OpenGLESv2
drivers).
Now that we are a compositing window manager, we do not have to
worry about flickers, this grab should no longer be necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721709
Remove some obvious server grabs from the window creation codepath,
also ones that are taken at startup.
During startup, there is no need to grab: we install the event handlers
before querying for the already-existing windows, so there is no danger
that we will 'lose' some window. We might try to create a window twice
(if it comes back in the original query and then we get an event for it)
but the code is already protected against such conditions.
When windows are created later, we also do not need grabs, we just need
appropriate error checking as the window may be destroyed at any time
(or it may have already been destroyed).
The stack tracker is unaffected here - as it listens to CreateNotify and
DestroyNotify events and responds directly, the internal stack
representation will always be consistent even if the window goes away while
we are processing MapRequest or similar.
Now that there are no grabs we don't have to worry about explicitly calling
display_notify_window after grabs have been dropped. Fold that into
meta_window_new_shared().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721345
The return code of XGetWindowAttributes() indicates whether an error
was encountered or not. There is no need to specifically check the error
trap.
The trap around XAddToSaveSet() was superfluous. We have a global error
trap to ignore any errors here, and there is no need to XSync() as GDK
will later ignore the error asynchronously if one is raised.
Also move common error exit path to an error label.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721345
The compositor code used to handle X windows that didn't have a
corresponding MetaWindow (see commit d538690b), which is why the
attribute query is separated.
As that doesn't happen any more, we can clean up. No functional changes.
Suggested by Owen Taylor.

When we move focus elsewhere when unmanaging a window, we *need* to move
the focus, so if the target is globally active, move the focus to the
no-focus-window in anticipation that the focus will normally get moved
to the right window when the target window responds to WM_TAKE_FOCUS.
If the window doesn't respond to WM_TAKE_FOCUS, then focus will be left
on the no-focus-window, but there's no way to distinguish whether the
app will respond or not.

Initial placement during meta_window_constrain() can result in changes
to the borders, so we need to recompute our border sizes after
constraining. This fixes incorrect window borders on
initially maximized windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720417
Do this by duplicating the current code and porting it to use
X again. A better approach would involve our own event structures,
and I really don't want to do that right now. We can clean this up
later.
When unmaximizing, we changed bits of window state, then called out
to code that used the frame extents *before* we cleared old cached
extents. Clear the cache up-front as soon as we change the window
state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714707
We require a MetaWindow to properly implement some of the requests
for xdg_surface, so add a way to have an unmapped MetaWindow that
we can store properties on, that we later map when the client
attaches a buffer...
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Instead of passing around MetaFrameBorders, compute it when we need it.
This also allows us to know that we are using MetaFrameBorders only for windows
with frames (where it is meaningful) and not for frameless windows, which
can have custom borders which we need to interpret differently.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
Cache the computed border size so we can fetch the border size at
any time without worrying that we'll be spending too much time in
the theme code (in some cases we might allocate a PangoFontDescription
or do other significant work.)
The main effort here is clearing the cache when various bits of window
state change that could potentially affect the computed borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.

There is now a meta_display_handle_event alongside the
meta_display_handle_xevent function which handles events in terms of
Clutter events instead of X events. A Clutter event filter is
registered so that all Clutter events will pass through this function.
The pointer event handling code from the X event version has been moved
into this new function and has been modified to use the details from
the Clutter event instead of the X event. This is a step towards
moving all of the event handling code over to use Clutter events.

To properly resize clients, we need to send them configure events
with the size we computed from the constraint system, and
then check if the new size they ask is compatible with
our expectation.
Note that this does not handle interactive resizing yet, it
merely makes the API calls work for wayland clients.

Make sure that meta_display_list_windows() returns wayland windows
too, by keeping a separate hash for wayland clients.
This fixes a crash in the alt-tab code of gnome-shell.

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library

Add a new interface, gtk_shell, than can be used by gtk to

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707128
Add support for GTK application menus
To do so, we need to be able to set surface state before creating
the MetaWindow, so we introduce MetaWaylandSurfaceInitialState as

At the same, implement set_title and set_class too, because it's

Consolidate all places that deal with output configuration in

The previous code was leaving focus fields dirty in MetaWaylandPointer
and MetaWaylandKeyboard at time (which could crash the X server
because of invalid object IDs)
The new code is more tighly integrated in the normal X11 code
for handling keyboard focus (meaning that the core idea of input
focus is also correct now), so that meta_window_unmanage() can
do the right thing. As a side benefit, clicking on wayland clients
now unfocus X11 clients.
For the mouse focus, we need to clear the surface pointer when
the metawindowactor is destroyed (even if the actual actor is
kept alive for effects), so that a repick finds a different pointer
focus.

This breaks down the assumptions in stack-tracker.c and stack.c that
Mutter is only stacking X windows.
The stack tracker now tracks windows using a MetaStackWindow structure
which is a union with a type member so that X windows can be
distinguished from Wayland windows.
Some notable changes are:
Queued stack tracker operations that affect Wayland windows will not be
associated with an X serial number.
If an operation only affects a Wayland window and there are no queued
stack tracker operations ("unvalidated predictions") then the operation
is applied immediately since there is no server involved with changing
the stacking for Wayland windows.
The stack tracker can no longer respond to X events by turning them into
stack operations and discarding the predicted operations made prior to
that event because operations based on X events don't know anything
about the stacking of Wayland windows.
Instead of discarding old predictions the new approach is to trust the
predictions but whenever we receive an event from the server that
affects stacking we cross-reference with the predicted stack and check
for consistency. So e.g. if we have an event that says ADD window A then
we apply the predictions (up to the serial for that event) and verify
the predicted state includes a window A. Similarly if an event says
RAISE_ABOVE(B, C) we can apply the predictions (up to the serial for
that event) and verify that window B is above C.
If we ever receive spurious stacking events (with a serial older than we
would expect) or find an inconsistency (some things aren't possible to
predict from the compositor) then we hit a re-synchronization code-path
that will query the X server for the full stacking order and then use
that stack to walk through our combined stack and force the X windows to
match the just queried stack but avoiding disrupting the relative
stacking of Wayland windows. This will be relatively expensive but
shouldn't be hit for compositor initiated restacking operations where
our predictions should be accurate.
The code in core/stack.c that deals with synchronizing the window stack
with the X server had to be updated quite heavily. In general the patch
avoids changing the fundamental approach being used but most of the code
did need some amount of re-factoring to consider what re-stacking
operations actually involve X or not and when we need to restack X
windows we sometimes need to search for a suitable X sibling to restack
relative too since the closest siblings may be Wayland windows.
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.

We now track whether a window has an input shape specified via the X
Shape extension. Intersecting that with the bounding shape (as required
by the X Shape extension) we use the resulting rectangles to paint
window silhouettes when picking. As well as improving the correctness of
picking this should also be much more efficient because typically when
only picking solid rectangles then the need to actually render and issue
a read_pixels request can be optimized away and instead the picking is
done on the cpu.
Originally attached dialogs did not have a titlebar, which the code
still assumes though it hasn't been true for a while; nowadays, the
actual look of attached dialogs is controlled by the theme.
As GTK+ recently gained the ability to set custom titlebars, we need
to support attached dialogs with either full borders (WM decorations)
or border-only (GTK+ titlebar).
Just remove the left-over assumption to make it work as expected.

We need to update window->monitor on override_redirect windows as well, other

Avoid a round trip to the xserver we already have the current position
anyway. Querying from the server on every move can cause the compositor to
stall during movement.
If an app pops up an OR window and sets input focus to it, like
Steam does, we'll think the focus window is null, causing us to
think the app is not focused.
OR windows should not be special if they get input focus, where
the input focus would be set to NULL. Instead, the window should
be marked as focused.

Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).

Make it a static function for now, but this will be a private

Clients using _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE to start a drag operation may encounter
a race condition if the user presses and releases a mouse button very
fast, getting "stuck" in a grab state. While this is easily fixed with
the user pressing the button or hitting Escape as the EWMH spec suggests,
its's still a bit of annoyance for users.
After starting a grab operation, check that the button is actually pressed
by the client, and if not, cancel the grab operation. This prevents the
stuck grab in a race-free way, although it requires an extra round-trip
to the server.
With client-side decorations becoming more popular, the use of
_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE is on the rise, thus this bug is seen more frequently
than before.

Trying to track the fullscreen status outside of Mutter, as GNOME Shell
was doing previously, was very prone to errors, because Mutter has a
very tricky definition of when a window is set to be fullscreen and
*actually* acting like a fullscreen window.
* Add meta_screen_get_monitor_in_fullscreen() and an
::in-fullscreen-changed signal. This allows an application to
track when there are fullscreen windows on a monitor.
* Do the computation of fullscreen status in a "later" function that
runs after showing, so we properly take focus into account.
* To get ordering of different phases right, add more values
to MetaLaterType.
* Add auto-minimization, similar to what was added to GNOME Shell
earlier in this cycle - if a window is set to be fullscreen, but
not actually fullscreen, minimize.

Since the tile mode is now always reset on maximize(), this code

We used to restore side-by-side tiling when unmaximizing, so we
kept the tile-mode during maximization. Since commit 10d53fc7d
there's no longer a good reason to do so, and it can result in

without motion (double-click on titlebar), so reset the tile

Previously, we were handling failure to respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
in the code path for throttling motion events. But this meant that
if a window didn't respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST and there were no
motion events - for a keyboard resize, or after the end of the grab
operation - it would end up in a stuck state.
Use a separate per-window timeout to reliably catch the failure to respond
to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.

During resizing we froze window updates when configuring the
window, and unfroze the window updates when processing the
next resize. This wasn't absolutely reliable, because we might
not have a next resize. Instead tie window freezing more
directly to the current sync request value - a window is
frozen until it catches up with the last value we sent it
in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
Testing with unresponsive clients showed that there was a bug
where window->disable_sync once set, would not actually disable
sync, but it *would* disable noticing that the client was
unresponsive for the next resize. Fix that by checking for
->disable_sync before sending _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.

meta_window_is_remote compares a cached copy of the system hostname
with the hostname of the client window
(as presented by the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).
Of course, the system hostname can change at any time, so caching
it is wrong. Also, the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property won't necessarily
change when the system hostname changes, so comparing it with the
new system hostname is wrong, too.
This commit makes the code call gethostname() at the time
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE is set, check whether it's remote then, and cache
that value, rather than comparing potentially out of sync hostnames
later.

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.
