X11 clients can use different models of input handling, of which some
may not result focus being set synchronously.
For such clients, meta_focus_window() will not change the focus itself
but rely on the client itself to set the input focus on the desired
window.
Add a new MetaWindow API to check when dealing with such a window.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1716>
We will use a dedicated variable when transitioning to/from fullscreen state
and leave the previously used 'saved_rect' exclusively for transitioning
between floating and maximized state.

Aligning windows manually with other windows has become less important
since the advent of tiling. This decreases the usefulness of edge
resistance, which in fact many users perceive as lag nowadays.
Account for that by limiting resistance to screen and monitor edges by
default, and only include windows when the control key is pressed.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Since the PID of a window can't change as long as the window exists, we
can safely cache it after we got a valid PID once, so do that by adding
a new `window->client_pid` private property.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
The shell uses the PID of windows to map them to apps or to find out
which window/app triggered a dialog. It currently fails to do that in
some situations on Wayland, because meta_window_get_pid() only returns a
valid PID for x11 clients.
So use the client PID instead of the X11-exclusive _NET_WM_PID property
to find out the PID of the process that started the window. We can do
that by simply renaming the already existing
meta_window_get_client_pid() API to meta_window_get_pid() and moving
the old API providing the _NET_WM_PID to meta_window_get_netwm_pid().

The 'assert_size' command checks that the size of the window, both
client side and compositor side, corresponds to an expected size set by
the test case.
The size comparison can only be done when the window is using 'csd', in
order for both the client and server to have the same amount of
understanding of the title bar. For ssd, the client cannot know how
large the title bar, thus cannot verify the full window size.
Sizes can be specified to mean the size of the monitor divided by a
number. This is that one can make sure a window is maximized or
fullscreened correctly.

Better to have the relevant object figure out whether it is a good

This commits adds support on the MetaWindow and constraints engine side
for asynchronously repositioning a window with a placement rule, either
due to environmental changes (e.g. parent moved) or explicitly done so
via `meta_window_update_placement_rule()`.
This is so far unused, as placement rules where this functionality is
triggered are not yet constructed by the xdg-shell implementation, and
no users of `meta_window_update_placement_rule()` exists yet.
To summarize, it works by making it possible to produce placement rules
with the parent rectangle a window should be placed against, while
creating a pending configuration that is not applied until acknowledged
by the client using the xdg-shell configure/ack_configure mechanisms.
An "temporary" constrain result is added to deal with situations
where the client window *must* move immediately even though it has not yet
acknowledged a new configuration that was sent. This happens for example
when the parent window is moved, causing the popup window to change its
relative position e.g. because it ended up partially off-screen. In this
situation, the temporary position corresponds to the result of the
movement of the parent, while the pending (asynchronously configured)
position is the relative one given the new constraining result.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
A placement rule placed window positions itself relative to its parent,
thus converting between relative coordinates to absolute coordinates,
then back to relative coordinates implies unwanted restrictions for
example when the absolute coordinate should not be calculated againts
the current parent window position.
Deal with this by keeping track of the relative position all the way
from the constraining engine to the move-resize window implementation.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
To organize things a bit better, put the fields related to the placement
rule state in its own anonymous struct inside MetaWindow. While at it,
rename the somewhat oddly named variable that in practice means the
current relative window position.

The intention of meta_window_wayland_move_resize() is to finish a
move-resize requested previously, e.g. by a state change, or a
interactive resize. Make the function name carry this intention, by
renaming it to meta_window_wayland_finish_move_resize().

While most of the code to compute a window's layer isn't explicitly
windowing backend specific, it is in practice: On wayland there are
no DESKTOP windows(*), docks(*) or groups.
Reflect that by introducing a calculate_layer() vfunc that computes
(and sets) a window's layer.
(*) they shall burn in hell, amen!
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/949
Most of the layer computation that the stack does actually depends
on the windowing backend, so we will move it to a vfunc.
However before we do that, split out the bit that will be shared.

Add an adjust_fullscreen_monitor_rect virtual method to MetaWindowClass
and call this from setup_constraint_info() if the window is fullscreen.
This allows MetaWindowClass to adjust the monitor-rectangle used to size
the window when going fullscreen, which will be used in further commits
for a workaround related to fullscreen games under Xwayland.

If window decoration is modified within a short period of time, mutter
sometimes starts processing the second request before the first
UnmapNotify event has been received. In this situation, it considers
that the window is not mapped and does not expect another UnmapNotify /
MapNotify event sequence to happen.
This adds a separate counter to keep track of the pending reparents. The
input focus is then restored when MapNotify event is received iff all
the expected pending ReparentNotify events have been received.

When we're unfullscreening, we might be returning to a window state that
has its size either managed by constraints (tiled, maximized), or not
(floating). Lets just pass the configure size 0x0 when we're not using
constrained sizes (i.e. the window going from being fullscreen to not
maximized) and let the application decide how to size itself.

If a client maps a persistent popup with a placement rule, then resizes

It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.
Given that and the limitation to server-side decorated X11 windows,
GTK4 removed the client-side API for setting the hint, it's time to
follow suite and retire the feature.

Commit 8d3e05305 ("window: Force update monitor on hot plugs") added the
flag `META_WINDOW_UPDATE_MONITOR_FLAGS_FORCE` passed to
`update_monitor()` from `update_for_monitors_changed()`.
However, `update_for_monitors_changed()` may choose to call another code
path to `move_between_rects()` and `meta_window_move_resize_internal()`
eventually.
As `meta_window_move_resize_internal()` does not use the "force" flag,
we may still end up in case where the window->monitor is left unchanged.
To avoid that problem, add a new `MetaMoveResizeFlags` that
`update_for_monitors_changed()` can use to force the monitor update from
`meta_window_move_resize_internal()`.

It relied on indices in arrays determining tile direction and
non-obvious bitmask logic to translate to _GTK_EDGE_CONSTRAINTS. Change
this to explicitly named edge constraints, and clear translation methods
that converts between mutters and GTK+s edge constraint formats.
An unnecessary memory optimization, storing the tile mode as a 2 bit
unsigned integer, was used. While saving a few bytes, it made debugging
harder. Remove the useless byte packing.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
In order to allow a window with a custom rule placement to be moved
together with its parent, the final rule used derived from the
constraining were used for subsequent constraints. This was not enough
as some constraining cannot be translated into a rule, such as sliding
across some axis.
Instead, make it a bit simpler and just remember the position relative
to the parent window, and use that the next time.
This is a rework of 5376c31a33 which
caused the unwanted side effects.

Changes in window decoration result in the window being reparented
in and out its frame. This in turn causes unmap/map events, and
XI_FocusOut if the window happened to be focused.
In order to preserve the focused window across the decoration change,
add a flag so that the focus may be restored on MapNotify.
Closes: #273
A window placed using a placement rule should keep that relative
position even if the parent window moves, as the position tied to the
parent window, not to the stage. Thus, if the parent window moves, the
child window should move with it.
In the implementation in this commit, the constraints engine is not
used when repositioning the children; the window is simply positioned
according to the effective placement rule that was derived from the
initial constraining, as the a xdg_popup at the moment cannot move
(relative its parent) after being mapped.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/274
Commit a3da4b8d5b changed updating of
window monitors to always use take affect when it was done from a
non-user operation. This could cause feed back loops when a non-user
driven operation would trigger the changing of a monitor, which itself
would trigger changing of the monitor again due to a window scale
change.
The reason for the change, was that when the window monitor changed due
to a hot plug, if it didn't actually change, eventually the window
monitor pointer would be pointing to freed memory.
Instead of force updating the monitor on all non-user operations, just
do it on hot plugs. This allows for the feedback loop preventing logic
to still do what its supposed to do, without risking dangling pointers
on hot plugs.

The bool determines whether the call was directly from a user operation
or not. To add more state into the call without having to add more
boolenas, change the boolean to a flag (so far with 'none' and 'user-op'
as possible values). No functional changes were made.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/192
In the old, synchronous X.org world, we could assume that
a state change always meant a synchronizing the window
geometry right after. After firing an operation that
would change the window state, such as maximizing or
tiling the window,
With Wayland, however, this is not valid anymore, since
Wayland is asynchronous. In this scenario, we call
meta_window_move_resize_internal() twice: when the user
executes an state-changing operation, and when the server
ACKs this operation. This breaks the previous assumptions,
and as a consequence, it breaks the GNOME Shell animations
in Wayland.
The solution is giving the MetaWindow control over the time
when the window geometry is synchronized with the compositor.
That is done by introducing a new result flag. Wayland asks
for a compositor sync after receiving an ACK from the server,
while X11 asks for it right away.
Fixes#78
When maximizing a window, the previous location is saved so that
un-maximize would restore the same original window location.
However, if a Wayland client starts with a window maximized, the
previous location will be 0x0, so if we have to force placement in
xdg_toplevel_set_maximized(), we should update the location as well so
that the window is placed on the right monitor when un-maximizing.
For that purpose, add a new flag to force the update of the window
location, and use that flag from xdg_toplevel_set_maximized().
