Makes workspace transitions in gnome-shell look more seamless, since
both outgoing and incoming workspace have focused windows.
This is only done for click focus mode, since it's not known which
window would be focused for the other modes.
Track the state and recompute it when it changes, to avoid redrawing
the windows needlessly.

Each workspace has a window that will be focused when switching to that
workspace. Add a function to retrieve that window.
This is only relevant for click-to-focus focus mode, since with the two
other modes no window will be focused upon switching, and will only gain
focus when hovered.
This will be used in the next commit to make this window appear focused.

Before we first created the MetaWaylandCompositor instance, which would
repare Clutter/Cogl so they could initialize and turn on Wayland display
server features, then later to initialize the rest. Now that part is
done by the Wayland infrastructure itself, so we don't need the early
initialization. Simplify things a bit by centralizing it all into a
single meta_wayland_compositor_new() call.

Configuration is the first step of the lifetime of a context, after

We first initialized the Wayland infrastructure, then the display, but
on shutdown, we first teared down the Wayland infrastructure, then the
display.
Make things a bit more symmetric and tear down the display before

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,

The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what

MetaDisplay does a lot of things, and is a central part to anything
window management. To let Wayland units have an easier time tearing
down, make it so that the Wayland infrastructure is terminated before
MetaDisplay.
This also makes sure that X11 support is turned off, so that we don't
stumble upon Xwayland terminating due to the Wayland socket connection
being broken. Will mitigate that in a better way in a later commit.

In case the shell ignores or can't accept the restart request we should

In non-systemd managed session we are unable to start services on
demand. Instead, gnome-session will start everything at login time,
including any X11 related service (i.e. gsd-xsettings).
However, in order to start gsd-xsettings, Xwayland needs to be started
already. Otherwise it will connect to GNOME_SETUP_DISPLAY and login will
hang at that point.
Fix this by detecting whether mutter is running in a systemd unit. If it
is, we assume that we are systemd managed and the machinery to start the
services works fine. If not, we assume that the session management may
unconditionally try to start X11 related services and Xwayland must be
started in order to not block this.

It's useful to be able to have very very tiny monitors (e.g. 60x60

Make sure to reset all the state that was set for an interactive grab op
back to the defaults after a grab op has ended.
Especially important here is setting grab_frame_action back to FALSE,
since this will constrain window-titlebars to the panel. We set this to
TRUE on some grabs, for example when resizing, but not when moving
windows. Since this remained being set to TRUE, it would also constrain
non-grab window movements, like calling MetaWindow.move_frame(), which
is used by gnome-shells OSK. By resetting it back to FALSE after a grab,
the OSK can now always move non-maximized windows to the position it
wants.

Commit afa43154 tried to make sure the focus was properly changed when
calling focus_default_window() by checking the focused window just after
trying to set the focus.
However, the X11 “Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual” version
2.0 (ICCCM 2 for short) states that some X11 client may want to use a so
called “globally active input” model in which case the client expects
keyboard input and set input focus even when it's not one of its own
window.
To comply with this, when dealing with such clients, mutter will not
change the focus and send a WM_TAKE_FOCUS message instead.
That mechanism will defeat the logic introduced by commit afa43154
because the focused window is not changed in this case. As a result, the
input focus will fallback to the no-focus window.
To avoid this, only check that the focus change occurred for windows
using a synchronous focus model.
v2: Split specific test for "globally active input" model (Florian).
v3: Remove the check for window->unmanaging which is useless (Jonas).

X11 clients can use different models of input handling, of which some
may not result focus being set synchronously.
For such clients, meta_focus_window() will not change the focus itself
but rely on the client itself to set the input focus on the desired

Add a new MetaWindow API to check when dealing with such a window.

GObject signals pass the emitting GObject as the first argument to
signal handler callbacks. When refactoring the grab-op-begin/end signals
to remove MetaScreen with commit 1d5e37050d,
the "screen" argument was replaced with a "display" argument instead of
being removed completely. This made us call the signal handlers with two
identical MetaDisplay arguments, which is very confusing and actually
wasn't handled in a grab-op-begin handler in gnome-shell.
So fix this by not adding the MetaDisplay as an argument to those
signals, GObject will take care of that for us.

Since commit c255031b6d, we allow some modifier+scroll events to

find_focusable_ancestor() may pick an ancestor window which is not
mapped or hidden, and setting focus on that window will fail.

the chance of meta_window_focus() not focusing the happy chosen one.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1643>
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.

The stack and stack tracker tend to cause missed frames from time to

Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.

Commit 03c69ed8 ("Do not go past size hints on resize") was meant to
ensure the size hints set by the client would be honored during resize,
as going past those values could cause the window to move on resize.
However, it did so by calling ensure_size_hints_satisfied() which works
with the frame rect rather than the client rect. As a result, the
minimum size enforced would end up being larger than expected with
client-side decorations.
Use meta_window_maybe_apply_size_hints() instead which automatically
adjusts for client size.

Bug 448183 fixed an issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW not moving a
window by basing the resize on the current (new) rectangle instead of
the original rectangle.
While this fixes the issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, this also
causes windows with a size increment to move when the resize also
implies a move, such windows might drift while resizing.
Make sure to use the current rectangle for non-interactive resizes only.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/543
On interactive resize, mutter calculates the difference in size based on
the pointer location and relies on window constraints to ensure the
minimum size is honored.
Wayland however does asynchronous window configuration, meaning that not
checking for size hints early enough may lead to the window moving as
the locations was initially computed on a size which will be invalidate
by the client eventually.
Make sure to respect the client size hint on update_resize() so that we
don't end up with a window moving unexpectedly when the client
eventually acked the configuration.

Aligning windows manually with other windows has become less important
since the advent of tiling. This decreases the usefulness of edge
resistance, which in fact many users perceive as lag nowadays.
Account for that by limiting resistance to screen and monitor edges by
default, and only include windows when the control key is pressed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679609
Commit 033f0d11bf added a fallback in case the tile monitor wasn't
set before, but didn't actually check for a previously set value.
As a result, the "fallback" is not set unconditionally, which may
differ from the expected monitor: The tile monitor is determined
by the pointer position, while the window's monitor is the one
where the biggest part of the window resides on.

meta_run() is still left intact and does the same as before; the new

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

We would get the MetaDisplay from the backend singleton before creating

again to get the stage. To get rid of the extra singleton fetching, just
pass the backend the MetaCompositor constructors, and fetch the stage
directly from the backend everytime it's needed.
This also makes it available earlier than before, as we didn't set our

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.

Since PIDs are inherently insecure because they are reused after a
certain amount of processes was started, it's possible the client PID
was spoofed by the client.
So make sure users of the meta_window_get_pid() API are aware of those
issues and add a note to the documentation that the PID can not be
totally trusted.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
Since the PID of a window can't change as long as the window exists, we
can safely cache it after we got a valid PID once, so do that by adding
a new `window->client_pid` private property.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
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().

When tiling, we want to set the tile monitor. To not have to do this
from the call site, make meta_window_tile() fall back to the current
monitor if nothing set it prior to the call.
This will make it more convenient for test cases to test tiling
behavior.

The 'assert_size' command checks that the size of the window, both
client side and compositor side, corresponds to an expected size set by
the test case.
The size comparison can only be done when the window is using 'csd', in
order for both the client and server to have the same amount of
understanding of the title bar. For ssd, the client cannot know how
large the title bar, thus cannot verify the full window size.
Sizes can be specified to mean the size of the monitor divided by a
number. This is that one can make sure a window is maximized or
fullscreened correctly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1171
Move to center uses all monitors for calculating work area.
This can lead to an unexpected behaviour on some monitor
configurations resulting in current window being split between
monitors. We should move window to the center of the active display.

Add MetaAnonymousFile, an abstraction around anonymous read-only files.
Files can be created by calling meta_anonymous_file_new(), passing the
data of the file. Subsequent calls to meta_anonymous_file_open_fd()
return a fd that's ready to be sent over the socket.
When mapmode is META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_PRIVATE the fd is only
guaranteed to be mmap-able readonly with MAP_PRIVATE but does not
require duplicating the file for each resource when memfd_create is
available. META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_SHARED may be used when the
client must be able to map the file with MAP_SHARED but it also means
that the file has to be duplicated even when memfd_create is available.

For the cases where we read a fixed size from the selection (eg. imposing
limits for the clipboard manager), g_input_stream_read_bytes_async() might
not read up to this given size if the other side is spoonfeeding it content.
Cater for multiple read/write cycles here, until (maximum) transfer size is
reached.

Try to bypass compositing if there is a fullscreen toplevel window with
a buffer compatible with the primary plane of the monitor it is
fullscreen on. Only non-mirrored is currently supported; as well as
fullscreened on a single monitor. It should be possible to extend with
more cases, but this starts small.
It does this by introducing a new MetaCompositor sub type
MetaCompositorNative specific to the native backend, which derives from
MetaCompositorServer, containing functionality only relevant for when
running on top of the native backend.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/798
MetaCompositor is the place in mutter that manages the higher level
state of compositing, such as handling what happens before and after
paint. In order for other units that depend on having a compositor
instance active, but should be initialized before the X11 implementation
of MetaCompositor registers as a X11 compositing manager, split the
initialization of compositing into two steps:
1) Instantiate the object - only construct the instance, making it
possible for users to start listening to signals etc
2) Manage - this e.g. establishes the compositor as the X11 compositing
manager and similar things.
This will enable us to put compositing dependent scattered global
variables into a MetaCompositor owned object.
For now, compositor management is internally done by calling a new
`meta_compositor_do_manage()`, as right now we can't change the API of
`meta_compositor_manage()` as it is public. For the next version, manual
management of compositing will removed from the public API, and only
managed internally.

While at it, fix some style inconsistencies, for now use a single
singleton struct instead of multiple static variables, and
other non-functional cleanups. Semantically, there is no changes
introduced.

Better to have the relevant object figure out whether it is a good
position to be unredirectable other than the actor, which should be
responsible for being composited.

Currently we check whether a window is alive everytime it's focused.
This means that an application that doesn't respond to the check-alive
event during startup always showing the "application froze" dialog,
without the user ever trying to interact with it.
An example where this tends to to happen is with games, and for this
particular scenario, it's purely an annoyance, as I never tried to
interact with the game window in the first place, so I don't care that
it's not responding - it's loading.
To avoid these unnecessary particular "app-is-frozen" popups, remove the
alive check from the focus function, and instead move it back to the
"meta_window_activate_full()" call. To also trigger it slightly more
often, also add it to the path that triggers the window focus when a
user actively clicks on the window.
This means that we currently check whether a window is alive on:
* Any time the window is activated. This means e.g. alt-tab or
selecting the window in the overview.
* The user clicks on the window.
Note that the second only works for an already focused window on
Wayland, as on X11, we don't refocus it. This particular case isn't
changed with this commit, as we didn't call meta_window_focus() to begin
with here.

Support for them appears to be way less common than e.g. png, which is
currently the preferred format from Firefox, Chromium, Libreoffice and others.
Adopt to that fact.
As a side effect, this works around a bug observed when copying images in
Firefox on Wayland.

This is so that cogl-trace.h can start using things from cogl-macros.h,
and so that it doesn't leak cogl-config.h into the world, while exposing
it to e.g. gnome-shell so that it can make use of it as well. There is
no practical reason why we shouldn't just include cogl-trace.h via
cogl.h as we do with everything else.

We used to inhibit all pad actions while the OSD is shown, but one we
would actually want to handle are mode switches while the OSD is open.
So it has an opportunity to catch up to the mode switch.
This lets MetaInputSettings reflect the mode switch (eg. when querying
action labels), so the OSD has an opportunity to update the current
actions.

Commit cda9579034 fixed a corner case when setting the initial workspace
state of transient windows, but it still missed a case:
should_be_on_all_workspaces() returns whether the window should be on all
workspaces according to its properties/placement, but it doesn't take
transient relations into account.
That means in case of nested transients, we can still fail the assert:
1. on-all-workspaces toplevel
2. should_be_on_all_workspaces() is TRUE for the first transient's parent,
as the window from (1) has on_all_workspaces_requested == TRUE
3. should_be_on_all_workspaces() is FALSE for the second transient's
parent, as the window from (2) is only on-all-workspace because
of its parent
We can fix this by either using the state from the root ancestor
instead of the direct transient parent, or by using the parent's
on_all_workspaces_state.
The latter is simpler, so go with that.

Make sure it is only the special modifier (hardcoded to 1 currently)
which is being pressed (not counting locked modifiers) before notifying
that the special modifier is pressed, as we are interested in it being
pressed alone and not in combination with other modifier keys.
This helps in two ways:
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then releasing both won't trigger the locate
pointer action.
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then down/up to switch workspace won't interpret
the last up/down keypress as an additional key on top of the special ctrl
modifier, thus won't be forwarded down to the focused client in the last
second.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/812https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1014
If you first press a key that triggers the "special modifier key" paths
(ctrl, super), and then press another key that doesn't match (yet?) any
keybindings (eg. ctrl+alt, super+x), the second key press goes twice
through process_event(), once in the processing of this so far special
combination and another while we let the event through.
In order to keep things consistent, handle it differently depending on
whether we are a wayland compositor or not. For X11, consider the event
handled after the call to process_event() in process_special_modifier_key().
For Wayland, as XIAllowEvents is not the mechanism that allows clients see
the key event, we can just fall through the regular paths, without this
special handling.

This commits adds support on the MetaWindow and constraints engine side
for asynchronously repositioning a window with a placement rule, either
due to environmental changes (e.g. parent moved) or explicitly done so
via `meta_window_update_placement_rule()`.
This is so far unused, as placement rules where this functionality is
triggered are not yet constructed by the xdg-shell implementation, and
no users of `meta_window_update_placement_rule()` exists yet.
To summarize, it works by making it possible to produce placement rules
with the parent rectangle a window should be placed against, while
creating a pending configuration that is not applied until acknowledged
by the client using the xdg-shell configure/ack_configure mechanisms.
An "temporary" constrain result is added to deal with situations
where the client window *must* move immediately even though it has not yet
acknowledged a new configuration that was sent. This happens for example
when the parent window is moved, causing the popup window to change its
relative position e.g. because it ended up partially off-screen. In this
situation, the temporary position corresponds to the result of the
movement of the parent, while the pending (asynchronously configured)
position is the relative one given the new constraining result.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
A placement rule placed window positions itself relative to its parent,
thus converting between relative coordinates to absolute coordinates,
then back to relative coordinates implies unwanted restrictions for
example when the absolute coordinate should not be calculated againts
the current parent window position.
Deal with this by keeping track of the relative position all the way
from the constraining engine to the move-resize window implementation.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
To organize things a bit better, put the fields related to the placement
rule state in its own anonymous struct inside MetaWindow. While at it,
rename the somewhat oddly named variable that in practice means the
current relative window position.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
A placement rule is always about placing a window relative to its
parent. In order to eventually place it against predicted future parent
positions, make the placement rule processing output relative
coordinates, having the caller deal with turning them into absolute.

This is made a signal, so the upper layers (read: gnome-shell) may
decide what services to spawn. The signal argument contains a task
that will resume MetaX11Display startup after it is returned upon.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/945
We artificially made Xwayland initialization synchronous, as we used
to rely on MetaX11Display and other bits during meta_display_open().
With support for Xwayland on demand and --no-x11, this is certainly
not the case.
So drop the main loop surrounding Xwayland initialization, and turn
it into an async operation called from meta_display_init_x11(). This
function is turned then into the high-level entry point that will
get you from no X server to having a MetaX11Display.
The role of meta_init() in Xwayland initialization is thus reduced
to setting up the sockets. Notably no processes are spawned from here,
deferring that till there is a MetaDisplay to poke.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/944
This ATM completes the task right away, but we will want to do
further things here that are asynchronous in nature, so prepare
for this operation being async.
Since the X11 backend doesn't really need this, make it go on
the fast lane and open the MetaX11Display right away, the case
of mandatory Xwayland on a wayland session is now handled
separately.
