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

We need to update window->monitor on override_redirect windows as well, other
wise they may end up with an invalid struct which triggers and assert when
meta_window_is_monitor_sized is called.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702564
Add new api (meta_screen_get_current_monitor_for_pos and
meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info_for_pos) that allow querying the monitor
without a roundtrip by reusing the passed in cursor position.
Trying to track the fullscreen status outside of Mutter, as GNOME Shell
was doing previously, was very prone to errors, because Mutter has a
very tricky definition of when a window is set to be fullscreen and
*actually* acting like a fullscreen window.
* Add meta_screen_get_monitor_in_fullscreen() and an
::in-fullscreen-changed signal. This allows an application to
track when there are fullscreen windows on a monitor.
* Do the computation of fullscreen status in a "later" function that
runs after showing, so we properly take focus into account.
* To get ordering of different phases right, add more values
to MetaLaterType.
* Add auto-minimization, similar to what was added to GNOME Shell
earlier in this cycle - if a window is set to be fullscreen, but
not actually fullscreen, minimize.

meta_screen_get_monitor_for_rect will return the monitor that
a given rect belongs in (choosing the "best" monitor based on
overlap, if there are overlapping monitors).
It doesn't work with 0x0 rects, though.
This commit fixes that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694725
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681540
meta_screen_resize calls meta_window_update_for_monitors_changed for all
windows including OR windows when the monitors change (or screen size).
This calls meta_window_move_between_rects for the window which attempts to
move the OR window by calling meta_window_move_resize.
meta_window_move_resize refuses to do anything on OR windows (just returns
for OR windows).
This causes a storm of assert messages when the screen
resolution changes while an OR window is visible.
(like the one gnome-control-center displays with the monitor name).
Fix that by not calling meta_window_update_for_monitors_changed for OR windows
and let the applications handle them by themselves.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693540
As the hash table no longer stores only window IDs, we should rename it so
that we make sure to check if something is actually a window before using it
as a window.

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677215
Some windows may already have event masks on them that we've selected
for, especially if we're using GTK+ windows. In particular, this fixes
window menus in the XI2 port.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690581
In random places that are not grabs, we selected for events on
things like the root window, stage window, COW and more. Switch
these over to using the proper XI2 APIs.

Since we want nice alt-tab applications for gnome-shell, we should up the
limit to 96. In the future, we probably want to get rid of the icon-cache,
and allow looking up a correctly sized icon directly from the window.
To prevent app breakage, set the legacy WM_HINTS pixmap size directly to
32x32.

On startup, workspaces are initialized according to the num-workspaces
preference. However when using dynamic workspaces, the actual number
of workspaces in use might be greater than the preference (when
replacing the window manager), forcing windows on those workspaces
to the first workspace.
To fix, ignore the preference completely when using dynamic workspaces
and try to restore the previous number of workspaces (as read from
_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS).

Fixes bug #670396. Without this fix the guard window may not
extend over the whole area of the screen after a XRandR
reconfiguration. The effect being that mouse events are

We're supposed to return an index from here now, no longer a pointer
to the current monitor.
Signed-off-by: Marc-Antoine Perennou <Marc-Antoine@Perennou.com>
Similar to meta_screen_get_primary_monitor, this returns a monitor index.
The monitor that the pointer is on. The previous private implementation
has been renamed to meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info.

These queued redraws, which is a problem when we want to know exactly
what changed when we redraw, so we do minimal effort. We're eventually
going to replace the queue_redraw API with something a lot better, so
let's just get these out of the way now.

Require the headers for "XFree86" Xinerama to be present at compile
time. The older "Solaris" Xinerama is only needed for versions of
Solaris where Mutter is unlikely to work. Solaris 10 and 11 include
the XFree86 Xinerama libraries, and apparently that's the only version
that will actually work for Solaris 11, which uses Xorg.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674727
We currently sync the number of workspaces with the corresponding
preference. This is not really useful with GNOME Shell's dynamic
handling of workspaces, not least as the setting is effectively
ignored. Worse, it will trigger writes to dconf on login, slowing
down startup, so add a setting to indicate that workspaces are managed
dynamically and really ignore the num-workspaces setting when set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671568
Using an external application using libwnck an external application

If XRANDR is availible, we track the first (or primary) output per
crtc (== xinerama monitor) so when the monitors change we can try
to find the same output and move windows there. If we can't find the
original monitor in the new set (or XRANDR is not supported) we move
the window to the primary monitor.

* At least one line (possibly blank) is required after a function name for a doc header
to be parsed correctly.
* SnStartupSequence isn't a type known to introspection
For the purposes of window placement or arranging window manager or
plugin controls, screens that are just mirrors of other screens should
be ignored, so filter them out of the monitors list.

This is necessary for gnome-shell to know whether it should try to
replace the org.gnome.Shell DBus name.
Note: We can't just #include <meta/util.h> because it #defines '_'
at least which obviously conflicts with core gettext. We should
un-export util.h or fix it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645590
We don't actually use the full xrandr to get the primary monitor, we
just rely on the xrandr xinerama compat code to return the primary
monitor first. This lets us avoid adding unnecessary xrandr code and
avoids issues with _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS monitor indexes being
defined wrt xinerama monitor index order.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
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/.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643959
A plugin that does workspace management on its on may want to set the
workspace layout without having to deal with putting a property
on the root window to be read back and parsed.
Add meta_screen_override_window_layout() that allows the same types
of layouts as _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT but without setting a property.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640552
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.

When a compositor is present, we keep the visibility state of the

In addition to the existing side-by-side tiling modes, this commit
adds a new "maximize" tiling mode. It allows the user to maximize
their windows (in other words, tile with the edge panels) by dragging
their window to the top edge of the monitor.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633133
When dragging a window over a screen edge and dropping it there,
maximize it vertically and scale it horizontally to cover the
corresponding half of the current monitor.
Whenever a "hot area" which triggers this behavior is entered, an
indication of window's target size is displayed after a short delay
to avoid distraction when moving a window between monitors.

Cleanly build with --warn-fatal. Implementation:
* Liberally apply (skip) where the API is clearly C only, e.g. uses
XLib. The theming code and MutterPlugin are skipped too.
* Add missing (transfer) and (element-type) annotations
For a few functions that had a comment, I turned it into gtk-doc, but
I didn't (with a few exceptions) try to write new documentation in
this pass.
Changing the number of workspaces via an external pager relies on the gconf
key; if a plugin adds or removes workspaces on the fly, we can get into a
situation when the stale number stored by the preferences matches the new
number requested by the pager, in which case the pager request becomes a nop.
This commit ensures that when the meta_screen_append_new_workspace() or
meta_screen_remove_workspace() functions are called, the stored value is
updated accordingly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613127
There was a problem where if, for example, a restack was triggered
out of a clutter event handler, then after Clutter processed the
events, it would proceed immmediately on to repaint the stage without
ever returning control to the GLib main loop. So even though we
had an idle handler installed with a higher priority than the
Clutter stage repainting the clutter stage repainting would happen
first and we'd get a wrong frame.
Fix this by introducing the idea of "later functions", which abstract
the idea of "doing something later" away from g_idle_add() and use
a combination of GLib idle functions and Clutter "repaint functions"
to get our callbacks triggered at the right time, even when they
are installed from a clutter event handler.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596334
This also resolve a FIXME where MUTTER_PRIORITY_BEFORE_REDRAW
could starve stage repainting.
It seems a bit cleaner to make the MUTTER_DEBUG_XINERAMA variable
that sets up fake Xinerama take effect even if Xinerama is active;
this means we don't count on Xinerama (or Xrandr if we switch tot
that) special casing the case of one monitor.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593404
It's useful for plugins to be able to get access to the
startup-notification data that Mutter already has. Add
an accessor and change signal when recieve an event.
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.)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587251
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.
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:

* include/compositor-clutter.h: Remove this stray file, it had been
replaced with compositor-mutter.h some time back.

In order to properly track the stacking order for override-redirect
windows, move meta_compositor_sync_stack() call into MetaStackTracker.
In the new location, we sync the stack as a before-redraw idle function,
rather then using the freeze-thaw facilities of MetaStack. This is
simpler, and also properly compresses multiple stack changes on
notifications received from the X server.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585984
Wedging override-redirect windows into the constraint code in stack.c
results in Mutter getting confused about the stacking order of
these windows with respect to other windows, and may also in some
cases cause Mutter to restack override-redirect windows.
core/stack-tracker.c core/stack-tracker.h: MetaStackTracker - combine
events received from the X server with local changes we have made
to come up with the best possible idea of what the stacking order
is at any one point in time.
core/screen.c core/screen-private.h: Create a MetaStackTracker for
the screen.
core/display.c: Feed relevant events to MetaStackTracker
core/frame.c core/screen.c core/stack.c: When we make changes to the
stacking order or add windows, record those changes immediatley
in MetaStackTracker so we have the information without waiting
for a round-trip.
include/ui.h ui/ui.c: meta_ui_create_frame_window add a return value
for the X request serial used to create the window.

Don't include override-redirect windows when iterating the windows

- Checking which windows should be added to a new workspace
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582639
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
meta_display_list_all_windows() that includes override-redirect
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.
Also, use MetaWindows as the tab_popup keys rather than using (X) Windows
and then having to map back and forth everywhere, which is silly since
we never actually want the X Window.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580917
Rather than trying to reverse-engineer what kind of tab/workspace
popup to create from within meta_display_begin_grab_op(), just create
the popup directly from do_choose_window()/handle_workspace_switch()
after completing the grab, since they already know which kind they
want.
Also add meta_screen_destroy_tab_popup()/_destroy_workspace_popup()
rather than having meta_display_end_grab_op() poke into MetaScreen's
internals itself.

This patch adds the concept of a special key for WM operations, and
the default is Super_L, which on extended PC hardware is the
"Windows key". What we do is handle the special case of a press
and release of this key (without any other intervening keys).
Super_L+<key> should still be passed to applications. In the future
we may want to also take some of these keybindings (e.g. Super+TAB)
though.

Creating the gard window when constructing MetaScreen causes the screen to
go black for the duration of Metacity startup which is uggly. We do not
actually need that window until we are ready to manage windows on the screen.
Add a keybinding (defaulting to <Control><Shift><Alt>r) to record
a screencast of the session. This isn't hooked up to anything in
metacity itself, but a plugin can connect to a signal on MetaScreen.

The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.

We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.
missing files in preview commit (TODO: rebase -i and squash this later)
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).
