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.

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/.
X11 window frames use special UI grab ops, like META_GRAB_OP_CLICKING_MAXIMIZE,
in order to work properly. As the frames in this case are X11 clients, we need
to pass through X events in this case. So, similar to how handle_xevent works,
use two variables, bypass_clutter, and bypass_wayland, and set them when we
handle specific events.

the complex unmap tracking for this later.
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().

Server grabs are not as evil as you might expect, but there is agreement
in that their usage should be limited.
Server grabs can cause things to go rather wrong when mutter emits
a signal while it has grabbed the server. If the receiver of that signal
waits for a synchronous action performed by another client, then you
have a deadlock. This happens with Mali binary GLESv2 drivers :(

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.

When a client spontaneously focuses their window, perhaps in response
to WM_TAKE_FOCUS we'll get a FocusOut/FocusIn pair with same serial.
Updating display->focus_serial in response to FocusOut then was causing
us to ignore FocusIn and think that the focus was not on any window.
We need to distinguish this spontaneous case from the case where we
set the focus ourselves - when we set the focus ourselves, we're careful
to combine the SetFocus with a property change so that we know definitively
what focus events we have already accounted for.

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.
The grab_window might be NULL, in which case we have a full-screen
grab, but we might still in a grab. Correct the check by asking
whether we're in a grab op or not.
The compiler is not quite smart enough to figure out that the condition
for setting the "compositor" variable matches a later condition for
accessing it, so express this in a way the compiler will understand.
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
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.

Clients like on-screen keyboards try not to take focus when the user clicks
on their window by setting the Input hint to false. However, due to GTK+ and
GDK bugs, the public API for setting the Input hint to false don't remove
WM_TAKE_FOCUS from WM_PROTOCOLS, unintentionally putting them into Globally
Active mode.
These clients also expect that since they don't want to take focus, they want
the focus to remain on the existing window. In this case, for clients like
on-screen keyboards, it's so they can send synthesized keyboard events to the
focused window.

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.
Based-heavily-on-a-patch-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com>
This helps with git's diff code by moving all the giant indentation
changes, letting us know what's going on better when we move to
Clutter for event handling.
The plan is to make a new version of meta_display_handle_event that
will accept Clutter events instead of X events and then gradually move
over the events to the new function and finally remove the X version.
When X clients change the keyboard map, the also update a property
on the root window. We can notice that and rebuild our data structures
with the new values, as well as inform the wayland clients.
This is a terrible hack, and it's not how we want to implement things
in 3.12, but it's enough to have the same keyboard layout in the
shell, in X clients and in wayland clients in 3.10, until we decide
on the fate of the keyboard g-s-d plugin.

The part of code dealing with move/resize grab in display.c is only
responsible of this behavior when triggered with a modifier. So it
shouldn't stop the move/resize behavior triggered from a mouse event
without modifier on the title bar or sides of the window.

Rather than do the cursor -> name translation ourselves in two different
places, use the facilities in libXcursor to do it for us. Put the shared
piece of code in meta-cursor-tracker, and use it for both server-side and
client-side cursor loading.
