meta_window_is_remote compares a cached copy of the system hostname
with the hostname of the client window
(as presented by the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).
Of course, the system hostname can change at any time, so caching
it is wrong. Also, the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property won't necessarily
change when the system hostname changes, so comparing it with the
new system hostname is wrong, too.
This commit makes the code call gethostname() at the time
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE is set, check whether it's remote then, and cache
that value, rather than comparing potentially out of sync hostnames
later.

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.

Window menus use the first key combination for a binding to show the
acceleration, so the list must be in the right configured order, which
is the opposite of what's built by g_slist_prepend()

Now that the background actor is reactive, this means that
clicks on the window group part of the stage, even when they're
on an X window, will be registered as the background actor, as
all of the other children of the group aren't reactive. This can
happen when a plugin takes a modal grab, for instance.

The guard window is effectively the background window, as it sits
in between live windows and minimized windows. This gives us a nice
easy place to allow users to allow users to right-click or long-press
on the wallpaper.

We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.

If a window is frozen because it is repainting, that shouldn't kee[p
us from updating its position: we don't want a slow-to-update window
to move around the screen chunkily when dragged. (This does reduce
the efficiency of begin/end frames for replacing double-buffering,
but that never works very well in the case where there was an overlapping
window or the entire screen needed redrawing for whatever reason.)
This fixes a bug where a window that was mapped frozen would not get
positioned properly until after the map effect finished, and would
jump from 0,0 at that point. Since effects *do* need to prevent
actor repositioning by Mutter, we must position the actor before any
effect starts.
Because we now are queuing invalidates on frozen windows, fix the
logic for that so that we properly update everything when the window
unfreezes.

The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.

During resizing, An odd counter value (indicating the beginning of a frame)
shouldn't cause us to redraw and start a new frame, only an even counter
value. This was causing the frozen state for the window frame counter to
overlap the frozen state for the resize, causing the window not to be
updated.

Put override redirect windows such as menus into a separate window group
stacked above everything else. This will allow us to visually put these
above other compositior chrome.

In different places we checked the grab op differently when determing
whether we are using _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST. This was somewhat covered
up previously by the fact that we only had a sync alarm when using
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, but that is no longer the case, so consistently
use meta_grab_op_is_resizing() everywhere.

When a client is drawing as hard as possible (without sleeping
between frames) we need to draw as soon possible, since sleeping
will decrease the effective frame rate shown to the user, and
can also result in the system never kicking out of power-saving
mode because it doesn't look fully utilized.
Use the amount the client increments the counter value by when
ending the frame to distinguish these cases:
- Increment by 1: a no-delay frame
- Increment by more than 1: a non-urgent frame, handle normally

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.

Add a function to convert from g_get_monotonic_time() to a
"high-resolution server timestamp" with microsecond precision.
These timestamps will be used when communicating frame timing
information to the client.

Use XSyncSetPriority() to prioritize the compositor above applications
for X server priority. In practice, this makes little difference because
the Xorg "smart scheduler" will schedule in a single application for
time slices that exceed the frame drawing time, but it's theoretically
right and might make a difference if the X server scheduler is improved.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Using a "sync delay" where we wait for 2 ms after the vblank before
starting to draw the next frame provides for much more predictable
latency for applications. An application can know that if it completes
a frame any time between 8ms before the vblank to the vblank,
it will reliably be drawn on the following vblank period, rather than
having an unpredictable latency depending on whether the compositor
is currently busy drawing a frame or not.
