When a window that should be stacked above another one is placed in a lower
layer than the other window, we currently allow promoting it to the higher
layer when it has a "transient type". We should do the same when the window
is an actual transient of the other window.
This is particularly relevant for wayland windows, where types play a
much smaller role: Transient windows like non-modal dialogs (and since
commit 666bef7a, popup windows as well) currently end up underneath their
always-on-top parent.

We indirectly were relying on the MetaX11Stack for this. We strictly
need the _NET_CLIENT_LIST* property updates there, so move our own
internal synchronization to common code.
Fixes stacking changes of windows while there's no MetaX11Display.

This object takes care of the X11 representation of the window stack,
namely the _NET_CLIENT_LIST and _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING root window
properties.
This code has been lifted from src/core/stack.c into src/x11 as it's
dependent on the X11 display availability. This also leaves MetaStack
squeaky clean of x11 specifics.

As per commit 43633d6b, we mark an unmanaging window as not focusable, while
this is true, it might cause not resetting the current focused window when
unmanaging it causing a crash.
Also this wouldn't allow to check if a window can be focused when unmanaging it,
so let's revert the previous behavior.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/462
Placing persistant Wayland popups (e.g. not menus etc) in the o-r layer
breaks stacking order with other window trees (e.g. other client
windows), as the menu would get stuck in the o-r layer, i.e. on top,
even if the parent of the popup got lowered.
Fix this by placing the popups in the normal layer, relying on
transient-ness to keep stacking correct.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
This moves following objects from MetaScreen to MetaDisplay
- workareas_later and in_fullscreen_later signals and functions
- startup_sequences signals and functions
- tile_preview functions

- Moved xdisplay, name and various atoms from MetaDisplay
- Moved xroot, screen_name, default_depth and default_xvisual
from MetaScreen
- Moved some X11 specific functions from screen.c and display.c
to meta-x11-display.c

When closing a window and showing a new one, the new one may not be
granted input focus until it gets a buffer on Wayland.
If another window is chosen to receive focus and raised on top of stack,
the newly mapped window is focused but placed underneath that other
window.
Meaning that for Wayland surfaces, we need to defer adding the window to
the stack until we actually get to show it, once we have a buffer
attached.
Rather that checking the windowing backend prior to decide if a window
is stackable or not, introduce a new vfunc is_stackable() which tells
if a window should be added to the stack regardless of the underlying
windowing system.
Also add meta_window_is_in_stack() API rather than checking the stack
position directly (replacing the define WINDOW_IN_STACK only available
in stack.c) and remove a window from the stack only if it is present
in the stack, so that the test in meta_stack_remote() becomes
irrelevant.

Commit fcc7501eb8 had the side-effect of
stacking fullscreen windows below docks which went unnoticed since we
don't use docks in GNOME anymore.
Instead of re-introducing the fullscreen layer, which we don't need
otherwise, we can fix this issue by ensuring we stack docks below all
other windows when the monitor they're on is marked fullscreen. This
has the added benefit that the visibility rule for 3rd party docks
becomes the same as gnome-shell's chrome.

This layer isn't really being used and in fact, it causes
meta_stack_get_default_focus_window() to return a fullscreen window
even if the naturally topmost window in the stack isn't a fullscreen
one.
Note that commit a3bf9b01aa changed how
we choose the default focus window from the MRU to the topmost in the
stack.

Stacking hidden X windows below the guard window is a necessity to
ensure input events aren't delivered to them. Wayland windows don't
need this because the decision to send them input events is done by us
looking at the clutter scene graph.
But, since we don't stack hidden wayland windows along with their X
siblings we lose their relative stack positions while hidden. As
there's no ill side effect to re-stacking hidden wayland windows below
the X guard window we can fix this by just doing it regardless of
window type.

Since g_array_append_val isn't smart enough to do a proper upcast, we
have to do it manually, lest we get junk.
This fixes various RAISE_ABOVE: window not in stack: 0x8100c8003
warnings that appear on 32-bit systems.
The main monitor of a window is maintained as 'window->monitor' and is
updated when the window is resized or moved. Lets avoid calculating it
every time it`s needed.

The only time we ever execute this code is when we're minimizing or
hiding a window, in which case we should respect stacking order.
This fixes weird "bugs" where windows from the same app magically pop up
over other windows.
A window may be hidden even if not minimized itself, for instance
when an ancestor is minimized. As meta_window_focus() will refuse
to actually focus the window in that case, don't pick it in the first
place.

With the change to how hidden windows are stacked, the position
of the guard window with respect to the hidden windows got flipped
and the guard window was at the bottom of everything; fix it to
be on top of the hidden windows.

Restacking the frame for a window while unmanaging the window is
harmless, but for undecorated (in particular, client-side-decorated)
windows, this causes problems because the window is typically
destroyed by the client immediately after withredrawing the window.
Skip windows flagged as being unmanaged when assembling the new
stack and when comparing the old order to the new stack.
Add a stacking test for this.
stack.c:sync_stack_to_xserver had both code for assembling the desired stack, and
code for enforcing the desired stack on the actual stack of X and Wayland windows;
the latter part is properly the domain of stack-tracker.c; moving the code to
apply the stack there both simplifies it and keeps stack.c more manageable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736559
There was still code in stack.c to handle skipping override-redirect windows,
but since quite a while ago, meta_stack_add() is not called for OR windows
since they are outside our stacking control. Add an assertion and remove
unnecessary code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736559
stack.c kept it's own record of the last stacking it requested, so that
restacking could be done with minimal moves, but we already have a better
view of the stacking order with the stack tracker, so use that instead.
This allows eliminating the special case for the first restack.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736559
Since MetaStackTracker is the code that knows about the current X stacking order
and the relationship between X windows and Wayland windows, it's cleaner to
encapsulate stack manipulation in MetaStackTracker rather than have the calling
code make the X calls and only call into MetaStackTracker to inform it about
the changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736559
Putting X windows and pointers to MetaWindows into a union had a number of
problems:
- It caused awkward initialization and conditionalization
- There was no way to refer to Wayland windows (represented by
MetaWindow *) in the past, which is necessary for the MetaStackTracker
algorithms
- We never even cleaned up old MetaStackWindow so there could be
records in MetaStackWindow pointing to freed MetaWindow.
Replace MetaStackWindow with a 64-bit "stack ID" which is:
- The XID for X Windows
- a "window stamp" for Wayland windows - window stamps are assigned
for all MetaWindow and are unique across the life of the process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736559
We can enter weird states where get_default_window is called during
window unmanagement, before the window has been fully removed from
the stack. Make sure these windows are *never* returned from
get_default_window, as focusing them can cause an assertion fail,
or worse.
The code that restacks X11 windows at the end first tracks any
old windows we know about, and then handles any windows created.
It starts when it ended, and then walks forwards and then
back looking for the first X11 window it doesn't know about.
However, when there aren't any X11 windows, it flies off the end
of the array and starts looking through random memory.
When it finds the X11 window, it then goes through and then tries
to restack the remaining windows according to how we've sorted
them.
Unfortunately, META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11 is 0, which is quite
common in random memory we have lying around, so we enter that
path and then just crash.
Fix the buffer overrun by adding the proper bounds check to the
search.
You can easily reproduce this by opening a menu while bloatpad
is full-screen. Why it only crashes when full-screen and not
when a standard window, I have no idea.
