If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.
Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.
Even with XInput support we should always register core devices. This
allows us to handle enter and leave events correctly on the Stage and
to have a working XInput 1.x support in Clutter.
Instead of overloading the device id of 0 and 1 we should treat the core
devices as special, and have a pointer inside the X11 backend singleton
structure, for fast access.
Use the device manager to store the input devices. Also, provide
two fallback devices when initializing the X11 backend: device 0
for the pointer and device 1 for the keyboard.
The only backend that tried to implement offscreen stages was the GLX backend
and even this has apparently be broken for some time without anyone noticing.
The property still remains and since the property already clearly states that
it may not work I don't expect anyone to notice.
This simplifies quite a bit of the GLX code which is very desireable from the
POV that we want to start migrating window system code down to Cogl and the
simpler the code is the more straight forward this work will be.
In the future when Cogl has a nicely designed API for framebuffer objects then
re-implementing offscreen stages cleanly for *all* backends should be quite
straightforward.
Clutter advertises itself on X11 as implementing the _NET_WM_PING protocol,
which is needed to be able to detect frozen applications; this allows us to
stop the destruction of the stage by blocking the CLUTTER_DELETE event and
wait for user feedback without the Window Manager thinking that the app has
gone unresponsive.
In order to implement the _NET_WM_PING protocol properly, though, we need
to add the _NET_WM_PID property on the Stage window, since the EWMH states:
[_NET_WM_PID] MAY be used by the Window Manager to kill windows which
do not respond to the _NET_WM_PING protocol.
Meaning that an unresponsive Clutter application might not be killable by
the window manager.

The input device API is split halfway thorugh the backends in a very
weird way. The data structures are private, as they should, but most
of the information should be available in the main API since it's
generic enough.
The device type enumeration, for instance, should be common across
every backend; the accessors for device type and id should live in the
core API. The internal API should always use ClutterInputDevice and
not the private X11 implementation when dealing with public structures
like ClutterEvent.
By adding accessors for the device type and id, and by moving the
device type enumeration into the core API we can cut down the amount
of symbols private and/or visible only to the X11 backends; this way
when other backends start implementing multi-pointer support we can
share the same API across the code.
Apparently, the XInput extension is using the same pkg-config
file ('xi') for both the 1.x and the 2.x API, so we need to
check for both the 1.x XGetExtensionVersion and the 2.x
XQueryInputVersion.
The XVisualInfo for GL is created when a stage is being realized.
When embedding Clutter inside another toolkit we might not want to
realize a stage to extract the XVisualInfo, then set the stage
window using a foreign X Window -- which will cause a re-realization.
Instead, we should abstract as much as possible into the X11 backend.
Unfortunately, the XVisualInfo for GL is requested using GLX API; for
this reason we have to create a ClutterBackendX11 method that we
override inside the ClutterBackendGLX implementation.
This also allows us to move a little bit of complexity from out of
the stage realization, which is currently a very delicate and hard
to debug section.
The clutter_get_current_event_time() function will return the event
timestamp coming from a Clutter event. Clutter might synthesize or
throttle events, so the function cannot be used when dealing with
backend-specific use cases.
The X11 backend is the only backend supported by Clutter that makes
use of timestamps, so it's altogether fitting that it should come
with a specific function to deal with the timestamps of the X events.
