The existing workspace management code is quite hairy, with plenty of
logic inline in all of window.c, workspace.c, and screen.c, making it
hard to understand or make changes to, since you might forget to change
several of the other places the code was around.
Rewrite the internal workspace management logic so that it's
centralized and all in window.c. Document the invariants we need to
maintain, and ensure that these invariants are properly kept, with
asserts in various places.
Extensive testing on gnome-shell did not bring up any issues, and this
is a considerable cleanup.
This will be used to replace some of the hooks that are used to call
into window.c, so that the workspace index property is properly kept up
to date.
We can't name the property "index" since it causes conflicts with the
meta_workspace_index method. This should really be called
meta_workspace_get_index, but oh well.
Struts are defined in terms of screen edges, so expand the rectangles
we get via set_builtin_struts() accordingly. However we do want to
allow chrome on edges between monitors, in which case the expansion
would render an entire monitor unusable - don't expand the rectangles
in that case, which means we will only use them for constraining
windows but ignore them for the client-visible _NET_WORKAREA property.

Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
Commit 2fc880db switched from focusing the topmost window as the default
window to focusing the MRU window. This was done in alignment with the
introduction of per-workspace MRU lists to avoid problems where the window
stack was inadvertently changed when focusing windows during window switches.
Now that focusing windows don't have as big an impact on the stacking order,
we can revert back to focusing the top window, which is less confusing to the
user.
For now, leave per-workspace MRU lists, as they're a pretty good approximation
of a global MRU list, and it works well enough.

Move preferences to GSettings, using mainly shared schemas from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.
Unlike GConf, GSettings support is not optional, as Gio is already
a hard dependency of GTK+.

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/.

When we delete a workspace before the active workspace, we need
to upate the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP since the active workspace index
changes. To do this workspace.c:set_active_space_hint() is moved
to screen.c:meta_screen_set_active_workspace_hint() so that it
can be shared.

A direction parameter is passed to meta_compositor_switch_workspace(),
to indicate the direction of the switch depending on the workspace
layout.
In contrast to the switcher popup, this parameter does not take the
text direction of the locale into account. Change this, so that the
workspace switching animations move in the correct direction.

While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

Remove --allow-unprefixed option to the scanner, and fix resulting
problems:
* theme.h and boxes.h are split into a main -header and a private
header that includes stuff that is not generally useful and
hard to introspect. Merge theme-parser.h into theme.h.
* meta_display_get_atom() and meta_window_get_window_type_atom()
are marked as (skip)
* Fix annotation: (element-type Strut) => (element-type Meta.Strut)

When we are moving a window with a modal dialog to a different
workspace, meta_workspace_focus_default_window() can be called
with 'not_this_one' being the focused modal dialog.
Since the ancestor of that window is also being moved, we must
not focus it as an alternative to the current window; this will
cause windows to be moved back and Metacity to get into an
inconsistent confused state.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609585
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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609546
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.

Unminimize minimized windows passed to meta_workspace_activate_with_focus()
by calling meta_window_activate() on them instead of meta_window_focus()
and meta_window_raise(). This fix makes sense because for the existing
usage inside Mutter meta_workspace_activate_with_focus() is never called
on a minimized window and for calls from outside Mutter there is no
point in focusing a minimized window without unminimizing it first.
Add a doc comment to meta_workspace_activate_with_focus().
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592393
Previously, changes to the visibility of a window could be indicated
by meta_compositor_map_window(), meta_compositor_unminimize_window(),
meta_compositor_set_window_hidden(), etc, with the exact behavior
depending on the 'live_hidden_windows' preference.
Simplify this so that visibility is controlled by:
meta_compositor_show_window()
meta_compositor_hide_window()
With an 'effect' parameter provided to indicate the appropriate
effect (CREATE/UNMINIMIZE/MINIMIZE/DESTROY/NONE.)
The map state of the window is signalled separately by:
meta_compositor_map_window()
meta_compositor_unmap_window()
And is used only to control resource handling.
Other changes:
* The desired effect on show/hide is explicitly stored in
MetaWindow, avoiding the need for the was_minimized flag.
At idle, once we calculate the window state, we pass the
effect to the compositor if it matches the new window
state, and then clear the effect to start over for future
map state changes.
* meta_compositor_switch_workspace() is called before any windows
are hidden or shown, allowing the compositor to avoid hiding
or showing an effect for windows involved in the switch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582341
* Handling of post-effect cleanups for MutterWindow are
simplified - instead of trying to do different things based
on the individual needs of different effects, we just wait until
all effects complete and sync the window state to what it
should be.
* On unmap, once we destroy the pixmap, we tell ClutterX11Pixmap
that we've done so, so it can clean up and unbind. (The
unbinding doesn't seem to be working properly because of
ClutterGLXPixmap or video driver issues.)

The patch adds GLib marshalling code to Mutter, since it's required for the "workspace-switched" signal.
The definition of MetaMotionDirection enum is moved to common.h since it's now used in workspace.c.
A little cleaning is done in workspace.c:meta_workspace_activate_with_focus(), where compositor-specific code is merged with the rest of the function (required to emit signal), removing #ifdefs.
Now that we only have one compositor, there's no reason to access the
compositor functions through a vtable. Remove the MetaCompositor virtualization
and make the clutter code implement the meta_compositor_* functions
directly.
Move the checks for the compositor being NULL from the vtable wrappers
to the calling code (most of them were already there, so just a few
needed to be added)
Note: the compositor is actually hard-coded on at the moment and the plan
is to remove the non-composited code entirely, so the checks are
added only to keep things neat: they have no practical effect.

Mutter is a Clutter-based compositing manager. So, remove the code for
the XRender-based compositor, and make it mandatory to have XComposite,
XRender and Clutter.
Run-time support for non-composited operation is left for now.
* src/compositor/mutter/: Move files from this subdirectory into
the main compositor/ directory.
* compositor/compositor-xrender.ccompositor/compositor-xrender.h:

replaced with compositor-mutter.h some time back.

Don't include override-redirect windows in the list return by
meta_display_list_windows(), since we almost never want to handle
them when considering "all window" for the display. Add a separate

windows.

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Add sigals to MetaWorkspace to allow tracking when windows are added
and removed. Note that on window creation that these signals are fired
before the window setup is totally complete, so they need to be used
with some care. (For example, the compositor, if present, has not
been notified of the new window.)

ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).
