The rendering logic before was somewhat complex. We had three independent
cases to take into account when doing rendering:
* X11 compositor. In this case, we're a traditional X11 compositor,
not a Wayland compositor. We use XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get
the backing pixmap for the window, and deal with the COMPOSITE
extension messiness.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is FALSE.
* Wayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor managing
Wayland surfaces. The rendering for this is fairly straightforward,
as Cogl handles most of the complexity with EGL and SHM buffers...
Wayland clients give us the input and opaque regions through
wl_surface.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_WAYLAND.
* XWayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor, like
above, and XWayland hands us Wayland surfaces. XWayland handles
the COMPOSITE extension messiness for us, and hands us a buffer
like any other Wayland client. We have to fetch the input and
opaque regions from the X11 window ourselves.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11.
We now split the rendering logic into two subclasses, which are:
* MetaSurfaceActorX11, which handles the X11 compositor case, in that
it uses XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get the backing pixmap, and
deal with all the COMPOSITE extension messiness.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland, which handles the Wayland compositor case
for both native Wayland clients and XWayland clients. XWayland handles
COMPOSITE for us, and handles pushing a surface over through the
xf86-video-wayland DDX.
Frame sync is still in MetaWindowActor, as it needs to work for both the
X11 compositor and XWayland client cases. When Wayland's video display
protocol lands, this will need to be significantly overhauled, as it would
have to work for any wl_surface, including subsurfaces, so we would need
surface-level discretion.

The goal here is to make MetaWindow represent a toplevel, managed window,
regardless of if it's X11 or Wayland, and build an abstraction layer up.
Right now, most of the X11 code is in core/ and the wayland code in wayland/,
but in the future, I want to move a lot of the X11 code to a new toplevel, x11/.
Instead of hardcoded knowledge of certain classes in MetaWindowGroup,
create a generic interface that all actors can implement to get parts of
their regions culled out during redraw, without needing any special
knowledge of how to handle a specific actor.
The names now are a bit suspect. MetaBackgroundGroup is a simple
MetaCullable that knows how to cull children, and MetaWindowGroup is the
"toplevel" cullable that computes the initial two regions. A future
cleanup here could be to merge MetaWindowGroup / MetaBackgroundGroup so
that we only have a generic MetaSimpleCullable, and move the "toplevel"
cullability to be a MetaCullableToplevel.

Instead of having MetaWindowActor only have one single MetaShapedTexture
as actor drawing its content, introduce a new abstract MetaSurfaceActor
that takes care of drawing.
This is one step in the direction to decouple MetaWaylandSurface with a
MetaWindow and MetaWindowActor (except for shell/xdg surfaces) in order
to finally support subsurfaces like features, or any feature where
window is not drawn using a single texture.
The first step, implemented in this patch, is to not have
MetaWindowActor work directly with a shaped texture. There are still
some cases where it simply gets the texture and goes on as before, but
this should be changed by either removing the need of going via
MetaWindowActor or by adding some generic interface to MetaSurfaceActor
that doesn't limit its functionality to one shaped texture.
There should be no visible difference nor after this patch, but
meta_window_actor_get_texture() and meta_surface_actor_get_texture()
should be deprecated when equivalent functionality has been introduced.

Using the new Cogl API to actually modeset (because we can't
use the DRM API directly without controlling buffer swap), we
can finally have a KMS monitor backend, which means full display
configuration when running on bare metal.

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Add a new interface, gtk_shell, than can be used by gtk to
retrieve a surface extension called gtk_surface, which will be
used to communicate with mutter all the GTK extensions to EWMH
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707128
Add support for GTK application menus
To do so, we need to be able to set surface state before creating
the MetaWindow, so we introduce MetaWaylandSurfaceInitialState as
a staging area.
The gtk-shell-surface implementation would either write to the
initial state, or directly to the window.
At the same, implement set_title and set_class too, because it's
easy enough.

Once mutter is started from weston-launch on its own VT, there is
no way to change VT again (for example to actually start an application),
because the keyboard is put in raw mode.
So introduce some keybindings mimicking the standard X ones (Ctrl+Alt+Fn)
that switch the VT manually when activated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705861
Now that we have a setuid launcher binary, we can make use of
using a private protocol through the socket we're passed at startup.
We also use the new hook in clutter-evdev to ask mutter-launch for
the FDs of the input devices we need, and we emulate the old X
DRM lock with a nested GMainContext without sources.
In the future, mutter-launch will be replaced with the new logind
API currently in development.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705861
Being a setuid binary, our LD_LIBRARY_PATH is cleared by glibc at
startup, but we need the spawned binary to see it, otherwise
jhbuild doesn't work, so hardcode it using the configured libdir.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705861
To run mutter as a display server, one needs to acquire and
release the DRM master, which is only possible for root, so
we take advantage of weston-launch, a small setuid helper binary
written for the weston project. We import our own slightly
modified copy of it, because weston-launch only launches weston,
for security reasons.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705861
Modify all visible instances of mutter with mutter-wayland
(libraries, folders, pkgconfig, etc.), so that the wayland
branch can be installed alongside the usual X11 mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705497
In the wayland branch of mutter, we want to build a wayland version
of the mutter libraries, and that's much easier if we just build
wayland support unconditionally.
The define is kept to avoid a huge diff, but should be removed
in a later patch.
Also, wayland support can still be disable at runtime, by
launching mutter without the --nested switch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705497
To allow other clients (gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon)
to monitor user activity, introduce a DBus interface for the
idle monitor inside mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706005
When running as a wayland compositor, we can't use the xserver's
IDLETIME, because that's updated only in response to X events.
But we have all the events ourselves, so we can just run the timer
in process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706005
Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

Instead of keeping a forest of if backend else ..., use a subclass
and virtual functions to discriminate between XRandR and the
dummy backend (which lives in the parent class togheter with the
common code)

Add a new object, MetaMonitorConfig, that takes care of converting
between the logical configurations stored in monitors.xml and
the HW resources exposed by MonitorManager.
This commit includes loading and saving of configurations, but
still missing is the actual CRTC assignments and a default
configuration when none is found in the file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Consolidate all places that deal with output configuration in
MetaScreen, which gets it either from XRandR or from a dummy static configuration.
We still need to read the Xinerama config, even when running xwayland,
because we need the indices for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS, but
now we do it only when needed.

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 copies the basic input support from the Clayland demo compositor.
It adds a basic wl_seat implementation which can convert Clutter mouse
events to Wayland events. For this to work all of the wayland surface
actors need to be made reactive.
The wayland keyboard input focus surface is updated whenever Mutter
sees a FocusIn event so that it will stay in synch with whatever
surface Mutter wants as the focus. Wayland surfaces don't get this
event so for now it will just give them focus whenever they are
clicked as a hack to test the code.
