Merge all relevant changes from Metacity as of Feb 10, 2010
For future merger's reference, the best way to merge changes from
Metacity is to add the Metacity git repository as a remote, then
cherry-pick the desired changes - this will exploit the shared
history of the two repositories when merging in the changes.
Then when finished, use 'git merge -s ours <head commit of metacity>'
to record the merge, and 'git commit --amend' to fix up the
commit message.
Add a configure switch:
--with-libcanberra=[yes/no/auto]
(defaulting to auto); if libcanberra is not found or explicitly
disabled, then the default system bell will be used for the bell
sound and no switch workspace sound is played.

These sounds are good candidates for caching in the sound server, to
save a bit of CPU and make reaction faster. Hence, tell libcanberra to
cache them.

libcanberra generates specific tooltip popup sounds and for that
recognizes the tooltip windows by the GtkWindowTypeHint set for them.
This trivial patch simply sets the hint for the self-drawn tooltips
metacity uses.

Right now metacity issues only 1 bell event per second. This is
feels buggy when triggering multiple alarm sounds in a terminal.
This patch simple increases the limit to 1/100ms. 100ms is probably a
good choice since the HIG recommends that all user reaction should
happen within 100ms. With this applied pressing 'Left' in gnome-terminal
feels much more responsive.

* src/core/bell.c: Don't force CA_PROP_CANBERRA_ENABLE to 1.
That was a misunderstanding on my part, and makes it impossible
to get rid of the bell.

* src/core/bell.c (meta_bell_set_audible): Now that we are
using libcanberra, don't tell the X server to play the system
bell internally.

metacity tries to do the right thing, by preloading all the relevant
directories before getting the keys one-by-one, but GConfClient isn't actually
smart enough to avoid server roundtrips in this case. That should certainly be
fixed in GConf.
In the meantime, here is a patch that reworks the metacity prefs initialization
to avoid roundtrips for individual keys anyway, by using
gconf_client_all_keys().

The ICE connection is opened by libSM; we can't just close it when
we get an IOError on the ICE connection; instead call SmcCloseConnection()
and mark the connection as closed. This will prevent a segfault if we
exit out of the metacity main loop and get to meta_finalize().

It makes more sense because the grave key is close
to the tab and escape keys which the other cycle
keybindings use.
This always works better for gnome-shell, which
switchings between applications by default with alt-tab.
The user can now alt-tab to the application they want,
and then move their finger to the grave key to select
the window they want.
Windows demanding attention should never appear in the alt-tab list
unless they're of a type which might have appeared there anyway. This
solves a problem under AWN where docks which were marked as demanding
attention appeared in all alt-tab lists; they were irrelevant and it
was impossible to remove them from the lists.

Lines where x1==x2 or y1==y2 may have the second element null. Lines
where both are null, and the width is zero, are points. This speeds
things up surprisingly much.

(This is inspired by Metacity commit 45cbaa2 by Thomas Thurman, but
much simpler - the use of g_date_strftime("%Y") ended up being just
%d for all 90+ current translations)
meta_workspace_set_builtin_struts() is slightly expensive; it involves
discarding all our cached computed information about the layout of the
workspace. So catch calls to set_builtin_struts() that don't change
anything.

Since meta_workspace_invalidate_work_area() frees the edges
workspace->screen_edges and workspace->monitor_edges, we must clean up
our cached edge resistance data when the invalidate_work_area() is
called on the active workspace, or when the workspace changes.
Make the computation of the edge resistance data lazy so that it
will be recomputed the next time we try to access it.
meta_display_compute_resistance_and_snapping_edges() is made
private to edge-resistance.c
Invaliding the data when active workspace changes also will improve
correctness for edge resistance when the current workspace changes
during a grab operation. (Even with this fix we still don't try to
handle window positions changing during a grab operation; that can't
cause a crash since, unlike screen and monitor edges, the window edges
are freshly allocated, it will just cause slight oddness in that
corner case.)
Root cause tracked down due to much effort by Jon Nettleton.

When putting 32-bit properties into longs on 64-bit architectures,
XGetWindowProperty assumes the values are supposed to be signed, and
so it sign-extends values greater than 0x7fffffff. So if they *aren't*
supposed to be signed, we need to chop off the high bits ourselves.
(Most CARDINAL-valued properties only end up using small values
anyway, so it doesn't matter, but _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY uses the full
range, and so was previously failing on 64-bit machines.)

The MetaDirection enumeration had META_SIDE_* values in it that
were used in some places where an enum with only four directions
was needed. Split this off into a separate enum called MetaSide
and use that enum name where appropriate.
