To run mutter as a display server, one needs to acquire and
release the DRM master, which is only possible for root, so
we take advantage of weston-launch, a small setuid helper binary
written for the weston project. We import our own slightly
modified copy of it, because weston-launch only launches weston,
for security reasons.

Modify all visible instances of mutter with mutter-wayland
(libraries, folders, pkgconfig, etc.), so that the wayland
branch can be installed alongside the usual X11 mutter.

In the wayland branch of mutter, we want to build a wayland version
of the mutter libraries, and that's much easier if we just build
wayland support unconditionally.
The define is kept to avoid a huge diff, but should be removed
in a later patch.
Also, wayland support can still be disable at runtime, by
launching mutter without the --nested switch.

To allow other clients (gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon)
to monitor user activity, introduce a DBus interface for the
idle monitor inside mutter.

When running as a wayland compositor, we can't use the xserver's
IDLETIME, because that's updated only in response to X events.
But we have all the events ourselves, so we can just run the timer
in process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706005
Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

Instead of keeping a forest of if backend else ..., use a subclass
and virtual functions to discriminate between XRandR and the
dummy backend (which lives in the parent class togheter with the
common code)

Add a new object, MetaMonitorConfig, that takes care of converting
between the logical configurations stored in monitors.xml and
the HW resources exposed by MonitorManager.
This commit includes loading and saving of configurations, but
still missing is the actual CRTC assignments and a default
configuration when none is found in the file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Consolidate all places that deal with output configuration in
MetaScreen, which gets it either from XRandR or from a dummy static configuration.
We still need to read the Xinerama config, even when running xwayland,
because we need the indices for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS, but
now we do it only when needed.

When running Mutter under Cogl's KMS backend no cursor will be
provided so instead this makes it so the cursor will be painted as a
CoglTexture that gets moved in response to mouse motion events. The
painting is done in a subclass of ClutterStage so that we can
guarantee that the cursor will be painted on top of everything else.
This patch adds support for the set_cursor method on the pointer
interface so that clients can change the cursor image.
The set_pointer method sets a surface and a hotspot position to use
for the cursor image. The surface's buffer is converted to a
CoglTexture and attached to a pipeline to paint directly via Cogl. If
a new buffer is attached to the surface the image will be updated. The
cursor reverts back to the default image whenever to the pointer focus
is moved off of any surface.
The image for the pointer is taken from X. It gets installed into
a fixed data location for mutter.
This copies the basic input support from the Clayland demo compositor.
It adds a basic wl_seat implementation which can convert Clutter mouse
events to Wayland events. For this to work all of the wayland surface
actors need to be made reactive.
The wayland keyboard input focus surface is updated whenever Mutter
sees a FocusIn event so that it will stay in synch with whatever
surface Mutter wants as the focus. Wayland surfaces don't get this
event so for now it will just give them focus whenever they are
clicked as a hack to test the code.

This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.
Note: At this point no input is supported

This adds a --with-xwayland-path configure option that can be used to
specify the absolute path of a headless X server binary supporting
the wayland xserver protocol.
This adds a --enable-wayland configure option to enable building mutter
as a hybrid X and Wayland compositor. By default the option is disabled.
If enabled then HAVE_WAYLAND is defined for C code and as an automake
conditional.
This copies the xserver.xml wayland protocol into a protocol/ directory
since wayland support will depend on this protocol for communicating
with an xwayland X server. Copying the spec like this is consistent with
Weston so we don't need a configure option to locate an external spec.
Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

actor_is_untransformed is a function meta-window-group uses to determine
if an actor is relatively pixel aligned and not contorted. It then
returns the coordinates of the actor.
In a subsequent commit will need the function in a different file, so
this commit separates it out.

Instead of defining CLUTTER_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API and
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API in individual source files, enable
them on the command line. We weren't tracking exactly what pieces of
experimental API we were using and we were using the experimental
API in most source files that used Clutter and Cogl, so the
local #defines were annoying rather than useful.

Currently, we have a few function wrappers in the shell for pointer
barriers. If we want to implement interactive features on barriers,
we need some sort of signal to be notified of the interactivity.
In that case, we need to make a more sophisticated object-based wrapper
for a pointer barrier. Add one, and stick it in mutter.

Using ClutterEffect is not pratical on MetaBackgroundActor, as the FBO
redirection has a noticeable performance impact. Instead, allow adding
GLSL code directly to the pipeline used to draw the background texture.
At the same time, port MetaBackgroundActor to modern Cogl API.

The EXPORT_PACKAGES variable to the GIR makefile should be the
packages needed to use this gir. It's also unnecessary to set PACKAGES
(which is just used for CFLAGS at scan-time) since CFLAGS is already
pulls in all necessary CFLAGS.

After the changes in style handling in GTK+, mutter's tooltips no
longer match the tooltip style used in applications. Given that
all buttons in the default layout are well-known, killing tooltips
altogether rather than fixing the styling issues looks like a valid
approach.

ClutterTexture has many features that we simply don't use and don't make
sense for a subclass with custom drawing. Deriving directly from ClutterActor
simplifies our code by avoiding workarounds and makes things more robust.
Additionally, make it public. GNOME Shell was already assuming that any
MetaShapedTexture was also a ClutterTexture, and we need to replace these
bits with new API for GNOME Shell to use.

Rather than defining keybindings in static arrays generated at compile
time, store them in a hash table initialized in meta_display_init_keys()
and filled in init_builtin_keybindings().
This is a prerequisite for allowing to add/remove keybindings at runtime.

meta-texture-rectangle and meta-shaped-texture both create textures
with GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB as the target using direct GL
calls. This patch moves that code into a shared utility function in a
separate file instead. The function resolves the required GL symbols
dynamically instead of linking to them directly so that if Clutter
eventually stops linking to -lGL mutter will continue to build. The
function also splits the texture creation into a separate texture
creation and data upload stage so that it can use
cogl_texture_set_region to upload the data. That way it can avoid
clobbering the glPixelStore state and it can let Cogl do any necessary
format conversion. The code preserves the old value of the rectangle
texture binding instead of clobbering it because Cogl expects to be
able to cache this value to avoid redundant glBindTexture
calls. Finally, the function uses cogl_object_set_data to
automatically destroy the GL texture when the Cogl texture is
destroyed. This avoids having to have special code to destroy the cogl
texture.

This patch fixes an issue encountered when building mutter
out-of-tree:
* When generating mutter-enum-types.[ch], the glib-mkenums command is
executed from $(srcdir), so it is wrong to prepend $(srcdir) to the
template file.

Back the API version down to 3.0; since we don't make any stability
guarantees, there's no reason to have a merry-go-round of different
directories and filenames that people have to keep up with.
If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.

Move all of the mutter code into a new libmutter-wm.so, split its
main() method into meta_get_option_context(), meta_init() and
meta_run(), add methods for using in-process plugins, and add
libmutter-wm.pc pointing to the new library.
The mutter binary is now just a tiny program that links against
libmutter-wm. The --version and --mutter-plugins options are handled
at the mutter level, not in libmutter-wm, and a few strange unused
command-line options (--no-force-fullscreen and --no-tab-popup) have
been removed.

This changes the introspection configure flag from
