Since we are trying to eliminate the ClutterGeometry type, we should
replace the only entry point still using it: the ::cursor-event signal
of ClutterText.
Instead of passing the cursor geometry, we should add an accessor
function.
The combination of signal and getter for the cursor geometry means that
we can deprecate ClutterText::cursor-event, and mark it for removal in
Clutter 2.0.

On the other backends we will get some sort of expose event after
showing the stage's window which will queue a redraw. These expose
events don't exist on Wayland so nothing will cause Clutter to queue a
redraw. Weston doesn't bother displaying anything for the stage's
surface until the first buffer is sent, which of course it will never
receive if Clutter doesn't paint anything. This patch just makes it
explicitly queue a redraw after the stage is shown so that we will
always pass at least one frame to the compositor.
The bug can be seen by running test-stage-sizing. That example doesn't
have any animations so it won't try to queue any redraws until
something interacts with it. On the other hand something like
test-actors works fine without the patch because it constantly queues
redraws anyway in order to display the animation.

If clutter is built with both X11 and Wayland support, prefer the
(more complete for now) X11 backend. This matches GTK+'s current
ordering.
This allows distributions to ship a clutter version with both backends
built, and using an envvar to switch to the wayland backend and test
applications.
In the future, applications would be able to choose which backend
they prefer and in which order.

If an actor has not been painted yet, or it's not going to be painted,
we can ignore transitions queued on it.
By ignoring transitions on actors that have not been painted yet, we can
avoid doing work during the set up phase of the scene graph, as well as
avoiding actors "flying in" from nowhere.
Obviously, we have to take into account potential clones, so we need to
check that the actor is not part of a cloned branch of the scene graph,
as well as checking if the actor has mapped clones.
If an actor is unmapped then it won't be painted, so we can safely
short-circuit out of _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_full() if the mapped
flag is not set.
We need, on the other hand, make an exception for Clones, otherwise
they won't receive notification that the source actor has changed
and they won't be painted.
This allows us to ignore redraws queued on children of invisible
parents, and avoid traversing the scene graph.
Instead of using signal notifications, we should be able to keep track
of the clones of an actor from within ClutterActor itself, using private
API. There's no point in pretending that people can actually create a
Clone class out of tree, given the amount of invariants we have to punch
through in order to implement a proper replicator node of the scene
graph, so we can just skip the signal emissions and just do the right
thing at the right time.
