There are a couple of places in gnome-shell where we aren't interested
in which workspace is active, but whether a given workspace is active.
Of course it's easy to use the former to determine the latter, but we
can offer a convenience property on the workspace itself almost for
free, so let's do that.

Make the clutter_input_device_get_actor() API public and remove
clutter_input_device_get_pointer_actor() in favour of the new function.
This allows also getting the "pointer" actor for a given touch sequence,
not only for real pointer input devices like mice.

X11 window stacking operations are by nature prone to race conditions.
For example, we might queue a "raise above" operation, but before it
actually takes place, the sibling the window was to be rased above, is
withdrawn.
In these cases we'd log warnings even though they are expected to
happen. Downgrade these warnings to debug messages, only printed when
MUTTER_VERBOSE is set.

When an app disappears after some data from it has been copied to the
clipboard, the owner of the clipboard selection becomes a new memory
selection source. The initial reference this new selection source is
never unref'ed, which leads to this being leaked on the next clipboard
selection owner change.

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
the MetaCompositor, then in MetaCompositor, get the backend singleton
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
instance private stage pointer until the manage() call.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1289
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.
Closes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1073
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/944
This used to be set on meta_compositor_manage(), but only if there is a
MetaX11Display. Given meta_display_init_x11() is Wayland only, and we can
always assume compositing to be enabled, just have it invariably set after
the X server is up.
