This means backend implementations can have more control of the order of
how things are destroyed. To be precise, this will, in the next commit,
allow us to destroy the logind integration after the clutter backend
thus the libinput owning seat, that uses the logind integration to
release input devices.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to

We are aiming for a split of HW and SW cursor rendering management.
Given the HW plane is a limited resource and the amount of cursor
renderers may be >1 (due to tablets, even though we currently use an
always-software cursor renderer there), it would ideally be able to
switch between renderers.
Being MetaCursorRenderer not really a singleton, having cursor
inhibitor accounting here doesn't pan out. Make it MetaBackend API
so all cursor renderers get the same picture.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Different devices may get standalone cursor renderers, add this API
to adapt slowly to this. The meta_backend_get_cursor_renderer() call
still exists, but shortcuts to the mouse pointer's renderer (as it
actually did before).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Not calling libinput dispatch in the backend constructor defeats the
logic in post init as the device added events have not been processed
yet.
So instead of trying to guess the cursor initial visibility, simply
update it along when devices get added.
Additional benefit, we do not need to walk the all device list looking
for touchscreens anymore, we just need to check the device being added
since the current logic is to hide the cursor as soon as a touchscreen
is found.

Mutter still relies heavily on singletons such as its MetaBackend.
For that, the backend implementation has a meta_init_backend() function
which is called at startup from meta_init(), which creates the desired
backend and sets the singleton which is returned by meta_get_backend().
Unfortunately, that means that the backend is never actually freed, and
all the code from the backend finalize function never actually get
called.
Add a meta_release_backend() to free the backend singleton.

Just because X11/XI uses a particular terminology doesn't mean we
have to use the same terms in our own API. The replacement terms

When removing a device that has been just marked as the last in use, we may
try to notify that a NULL device is the last one.
This is not supported, as both update_last_device() and the clients of the
"::last-device-changed" signal are assuming that the last device is always
a valid ClutterInputDevice.
So let's avoid erroring, and stop the idle when clearing the current device.

Replace the default master clock with multiple frame clocks, each
driving its own stage view. As each stage view represents one CRTC, this
means we draw each CRTC with its own designated frame clock,
disconnected from all the others.
For example this means we when using the native backend will never need
to wait for one monitor to vsync before painting another, so e.g. having
a 144 Hz monitor next to a 60 Hz monitor, things including both Wayland
and X11 applications and shell UI will be able to render at the
corresponding monitor refresh rate.
This also changes a warning about missed frames when sending
_NETWM_FRAME_TIMINGS messages to a debug log entry, as it's expected
that we'll start missing frames e.g. when a X11 window (via Xwayland) is
exclusively within a stage view that was not painted, while another one
was, still increasing the global frame clock.
Addititonally, this also requires the X11 window actor to schedule
timeouts for _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN/_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS event emitting,
if the actor wasn't on any stage views, as now we'll only get the frame
callbacks on actors when they actually were painted, while in the past,
we'd invoke that vfunc when anything was painted.

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.

Inhibiting remote access means any current remote access session is
terminated, and no new ones can be created, until remote access is
uninhibited. The inhibitation is ref counted, meaning there can be more

This class sits between ClutterInputDevice and the backend implementations,
it will be the despositary of features we need across both backends, but
don't need to offer through Clutter's API.
As a first thing to have there, add a getter for a WacomDevice. This is
something scattered across and somewhat inconsistent (eg. different places
of the code create wacom devices for different device types). Just make it
here for all devices, so users can pick.

Just go ATM through backend checks, and looking up directly the

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

We used to have wayland-specific paths for this in src/wayland, now we
have ClutterKeymap that we can rely on in order to do state tracking,
and can do this all on src/backend domain.
This accomodates the feature in common code, so will work on both
Wayland and X11.

MetaProfiler is not built when -Dprofiler=false, and that

We rely on the frame clock to compress input events, thus if the frame
clock stops, input events are not dispatched. At the same time, there
is no reason to redraw at a full frame rate, as nothing will be
presented anyway, so slow down to 10Hz (compared to the most common
60Hz). Note that we'll only actually reach 10Hz if there is an active
animation being displayed, which won't happen e.g. if there is a screen
shield in the way.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/506
Don't schedule redraws when being headless; there is nothing to draw so
don't attempt to draw. This also makes a flaky test become non-flaky, as
it previously spuriously got warnings due to windows being "painted"
when headless but lacking frame timings, as nothing was actually
painted.

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.
Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
Monitor whether UPower is running ourselves. That allows us to keep the
same value for "lid-is-closed" throughout the process of UPower
restarting, preventing unwanted monitor re-configuration through the process.
Fixes another screen black out when UPower restarts and the laptop lid
is closed.
Rather than handle UpClient in both MetaBackend (to reset the idletime
when the lid is opened), and in MetaMonitorManager and
MetaMonitorConfigManager (to turn the screen under the lid on/off
depending on its status), move the ability to get the lid status from
UPower or mock it in one place, in MetaBackend.
While MetaStage, MetaWindowGroup and MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton don't
appear explicitly in the public API, their gtypes are still exposed via
meta_get_stage_for_screen(), meta_get_*window_group_for_screen() and
MetaMonitorManager's parent type. Newer versions of gjs will warn about
undefined properties if it encounters a gtype without introspection
information, so expose those types to shut up the warnings.

As a follow up to the patch from a95cbd0a, we need to make sure
that the pointer is out of the way as well when monitors changed,
since that's the event that will prevail in some cases. Besides,
this is also consistent with what the code before a95cbd0a was,
which initialized the pointer position in the same way both in
this case and in the real_post_init() function.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/157
Centering the pointer at startup causes undesired behaviour if
it ends up hovering over reactive elements, that might react
to that positioning, causing confusion. This is the case of
the login dialog when a list of different users is shown, as
centering the pointer at startup in that case will get the
user in the center of the screen pre-selected, which is not
the expected behaviour (i.e. pre-selecting the first one).
Fix this by simply moving the pointer out of the way, close
to the bottom-right corner, during initialization.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/157
And use the old "native" backend for both X11 and Wayland. This will

Bluetooth mouse usually goes in sleep state after a timeout, when that
happen the mouse is disconnected and on_device_removed function is
called. Before the patch if a touch device is available the
on_device_removed function hide the cursor. The issue is that the cursor
does not reappear once the bluetooth mouse is reconnected because
MetaBackend::current_device_id is not invalidated when on_device_removed
was called.
The patch set MetaBackend::current_device_id to 0 if the current device
is removed. This will make update_last_device to be triggered as soon as
another input device is used or the bluetooth mouse reconnect, as
consequence that the cursor reappear. The id 0 is never given to devices
and can safely used as undefine id.

The monitor manager instance was created and setup in one step; at
construction. This is problematic if, in the future, the monitor manager
creation can fail, as the monitor manager is created quite late.
To make it possible to in the future fail creating a monitor manager,
create the instance very early when initiating the backend, then on
post init backend setup, "setup" the monitor manager state, i.e. read
the current state and setup the stage.

This commit adds basic screen casting and remote desktoping
functionalty. This works by exposing two D-Bus API services:
org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast and org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.
The remote desktop API is used to create remote desktop sessions. For
each session, a D-Bus object is created, and an application can manage
the session by sending messages to the session object. A remote desktop
session the user to emit input events using the D-Bus methods on the
session object. To get framebuffer content, the application should
create an associated screen cast session.
The screen cast API is used to create screen cast sessions. One can so
far either create stand-alone screen cast sessions, or a screen cast
session associated with a remote desktop session. A remote desktop
associated screen cast session is managed by the remote desktop session.
So far only remote desktop managed screen cast sessions are implemented.
Each screen cast session may have one or more streams. A screen cast
stream is a stream of buffers of some part of the compositor content.
So far API exists for creating streams of monitors and windows, but
only monitor streams are implemented.
When a screen cast session is started, the one PipeWire stream is
created for each screen cast stream created for the session. When this
has happened, a PipeWireStreamAdded signal is emitted on the stream
object, passing a unique identifier. The application may use this
identifier to find the associated stream being advertised by the
PipeWire daemon.
The remote desktop and screen cast functionality must be explicitly be
enabled at ./configure time by passing --enable-remote-desktop to
./configure. Doing this will build both screen cast and remote desktop
support.
To actually enable the screen casting and remote desktop, the user must
enable the experimental feature. See
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features.

Instead of looking at the GTK+ settings, check the logical monitor
state and determine the UI scaling factor given the maximum logical
monitor scale. This is only enabled when the monitor config manager
feature is enabled, as only then can a scale be explicitly configured.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The UI scaling depends on whether the framebuffers are scaled. Enable
the caller to determine the what scale its UI should be drawn in, in
relation to the stage coordinate space by calling this function. A new
singal "ui-scaling-factor-changed" is added in order to liston for for
changes.

Window scaling is a clutter feature used to enable automatic scaling of
stage windows when running under as an application in windowing system.
Clutter in mutter does not support running as a stand-alone application
toolkit, so lets remove this unused feature.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This gsetting will allow the adding of keywords to a array, where each
keyword may enable an experimental feauter, if the given mutter version
supports that particular experimental feature. Emphasis is put on the
lack of guarantee that any such keyword has any effect. Currently no
keywords are defined.
