When running Mutter under Cogl's KMS backend no cursor will be
provided so instead this makes it so the cursor will be painted as a
CoglTexture that gets moved in response to mouse motion events. The
painting is done in a subclass of ClutterStage so that we can
guarantee that the cursor will be painted on top of everything else.
This patch adds support for the set_cursor method on the pointer
interface so that clients can change the cursor image.
The set_pointer method sets a surface and a hotspot position to use
for the cursor image. The surface's buffer is converted to a
CoglTexture and attached to a pipeline to paint directly via Cogl. If
a new buffer is attached to the surface the image will be updated. The
cursor reverts back to the default image whenever to the pointer focus
is moved off of any surface.
The image for the pointer is taken from X. It gets installed into
a fixed data location for mutter.
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

This adds a --with-xwayland-path configure option that can be used to
specify the absolute path of a headless X server binary supporting
the wayland xserver protocol.
This adds a --enable-wayland configure option to enable building mutter
as a hybrid X and Wayland compositor. By default the option is disabled.
If enabled then HAVE_WAYLAND is defined for C code and as an automake
conditional.
This copies the xserver.xml wayland protocol into a protocol/ directory
since wayland support will depend on this protocol for communicating
with an xwayland X server. Copying the spec like this is consistent with
Weston so we don't need a configure option to locate an external spec.
Commit 4f2bb583bf changed things so that the compositor used
clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full (CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT
to get after-paint notification and send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, but this
doesn't actually work, since Clutter will already have blocked for
VBlank before calling post-paint functions.
The result is that frame synced toolkits like GTK 3.8 will normally
only be able to draw every other frame.
Since ::paint doesn't work either, a new function
clutter_stage_set_paint_callback() has been added to Clutter
(and will be included in the 1.14 branch)

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.
