The evdev system is a bit different from other input systems in
Clutter because it's completly decorrelated from anything graphic.
In the case of embedded devices with no proper windowing system, you
might want to not implicitly create a default stage when you're
receiving the first input event.
This patch changes this behavior by not forwarding any event if you
don't have a default stage.

A lot of the example code in the cookbook and the API reference still
uses the default stage — sometimes as if it were a non-default one,
which once again demonstrates how the default stage was a flawed concept
that just confused people.
Using the default stage as a fallback is wrong in all circumstances.
In this specific case, if an actor is not associated to a stage then it
cannot possibly be the key focus.
The default stage was a neat concept when we started Clutter out,
somewhere in the Jurassic era; a singleton instance that gets created at
initialization time, and remains the same for the entire duration of the
process.
Worked well enough when Clutter was a small library meant to be used to
write fullscreen media browsers, but since the introduction of multiple
stages, and Clutter being used to create all sorts of applications, the
default stage is just a vestigial remainder of that past, like an
appendix; something that complicates the layout of the code and
introduces weird behaviour, so that you notice its existence only when
something goes wrong.
Some platforms we do support, though, only have one framebuffer, so it
makes sense for them to have only one stage.
At this point, the only sane thing to do is to go through the same code
paths on all platforms, and that code path is the stage instance
creation and initialization — i.e. clutter_stage_new() (or
g_object_new() with CLUTTER_TYPE_STAGE).
For platforms that support multiple stages, nothing has changed: the stage
created by clutter_stage_get_default() will be set as the default one;
if nobody calls it, the default stage is never created, and it just
lives on as a meaningless check.
For platforms that only support one stage, clutter_stage_new() and
clutter_stage_get_default() will behave exactly the same the first time
they are called: both will create a stage, and set it as the default.
Calling clutter_stage_new() a second time is treated as a programmer
error, and will result in Clutter aborting. This is a behavioural change
because the existing behaviour or creating a new ClutterStage instance
with the same ClutterStageWindow private implementation is, simply put,
utterly braindamaged and I should have *never* had written it, and I
apologize for it. In my defence, I didn't know any better at the time.
This is the first step towards the complete deprecation of
clutter_stage_get_default() and clutter_stage_is_default(), which will
come later.
Instead of implementing create_stage() and a constructor for
ClutterStageOSX, we can use the default implementations in
ClutterBackend, and spare us some code duplication.
Create the device manager during the event initialization, where it
makes sense.
This allows us to get rid of the per-backend get_device_manager()
virtual function, and just store the DeviceManager pointer into the
ClutterBackend structure.
All StageWindow implementation already have back pointers, but we need a
unified API to actually set them from the generic code path; we can use
properties on the StageWindow interface — though this requires fixing
all backends at the same time, to avoid GObject complaining.
Instead of piggybacking on the EGL backend, let's create a small
ClutterBackend for the CEx100 platforms. This allows us to handle the
CEx100-specific details in a much cleaner way.
All the functionality that ClutterBackendCogl provided has been moved
into ClutterBackend itself, so there is no need to have this class
around in the source.
Cogl-based backends can derive directly from ClutterBackend.
Don't replace create_context(): given that the X11 backend already uses
Cogl for the context creation, we can just provide the right data
structures ourselves.
Since we use Cogl for the context creation we can now provide a default
context creation that should just work, plus a couple of hooks to allow
plugging into the creation sequence for platforms supported by Cogl that
require special handling — like foreign displays or alpha-enabled swap
chains.
The various backends have now two choices: either replace the
create_context() in its entirety, or plug themselves into the default
context creation.
Input backends are, in some cases, independent from the windowing system
backends; we can initialize input handling using a model similar to what
we use for windowing backends, including an environment variable and
compile-/run-time checks.
This model allows us to remove the backend-specific init_events(), and
use a generic implementation directly inside the base ClutterBackend
class, thus further reducing the backend-specific code that every
platform has to implement.
This requires some minor surgery to every single backend, to make sure
that the function exposed to initialize the event loop is similar and
performs roughly the same operations.
Right now, we pass through to Pango unrecognized hexadecimal formats
when parsing colors from strings. Since we parse all possible formats
ourselves, we can do validation ourselves as well, and avoid the Pango
path.
Previously, if there was whitespace between "l" and the comma before the
alpha value, parsing would fail. This patch allows that whitespace
making it consistent with whitespace being allowed everywhere else.

These methods are short-hands for accessing the position and size,
which are already shorthands for accessing the various dimensional
and positional attributes. Plus, they use ClutterGeometry, which is a
fairly bad data type for a rectangle.
We still use ClutterGeometry internally in a couple of places, but we
should really move away from that flawed rectangle data type, and use
the Cairo one.
Sadly, we still have some public API that we cannot remove yet.
Setting the default frame rate does not do anything even remotely
useful, unless synchronization to the vertical refresh rate is also
disabled - which can only be done through environment variable or
through configuration file. Having a programmatic way to change the
default frame rate is, thus, completely pointless.
Changing the default frame rate through environment variable and
configuration file is still allowed.
A GDK backend for clutter was added in commits 610a9c17
(Add A new GDK backend) and f14cbf5b (gdk: Allow disabling event retrieval)
These are not included in the Win32 builds for the moment as GDK3 is
quite unstable on Windows at this time
-Update clutter-version.h.win32.in to reflect the state of
clutter-version.h.in commit 21a24c86 (updated in commit 8249e488)
-Also add clutter_check_windowing_backend to clutter.symbols as a result.
The clutter-stage.h header still has a bunch of macros that have, for
reasons unknown[*], survived the 1.0 API cut and have long since been
deprecated. Let's hide them under the deprecated/ carpet and let us
never speak of them ever again.
[*] pretty sure alcohol or other psychotropic substances were involved
but I take the 5th on that.
Instead of defining new symbols for the windowing systems enabled at
configure time, we can reuse the same symbols for both the compile time
and run time checks, e.g.:
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11))
/* use the clutter_x11_* API */
else
#endif
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32))
/* use the clutter_win32_* API */
#endif
This scheme allows us to ensure that the input system namespace is free
for us to use and select at run time in later versions of Clutter.
We need debugging notes, to see what's happening when handling events.
We need to queue a (clipped) redraw when receiving a GDK_EXPOSE event.
We need to check the device (both master and source) of the event using
the GdkEvent API, and pass them to the ClutterEvent using the
corresponding Clutter API.
The code is generally wrong, and does not work. We need to skip the
GdkWindow creation when we have a foreing window, but we still need to
create the Cogl onscreen buffer and connect it to the GdkWindow's native
resource.
Just like the other backends can disable the internal event handling,
and use clutter_<backend>_handle_event() to do the native → Clutter
event translation.
Portable code should be allowed to check type backend currently being
used, so that it can use platform-specific API (not just Clutter's).
We don't want to go down the GDK route, with public types for
ClutterBackend and ClutterStageWindow implementations, and use the type
system, e.g.:
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_X11 (window))
use_x11_api (window);
else
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_WIN32 (window))
use_win32_api (window);
else
#endif
g_critical ("Unsupported backend");
This system would make us expose the backend system, and we want to
still reserve us the option to change the backend system to increase its
granularity — e.g. choosing different input event systems regardless of
the windowing system.
This commit adds a simple function that checks the backend type against
a symbolic constant — the same constant string that can be used to
select the backend at run-time through the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment
variable.
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just
build all possible backends inside the same shared object, and select
the wanted backend at initialization time.
This requires some work in the build system, as well as the
initialization code, to remove duplicate functions that might cause
conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.
Previously, the Cogl backend was at times a subclass of the X11
backend, and at times a standalone one. Now it is the other way
round, with GDK and X11 backends providing the concrete classes,
layered on top of the generic Cogl backend. A new EglNative backend
was introduced for direct to framebuffer rendering. This greatly
simplifies the API design (at the expense of some casts needed)
and reduces the amount of #ifdefs, without duplicating code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657434
This commit introduces a new flavour for Clutter, that uses GDK
for handling all window system specific interactions (except for
creating the cogl context, as cogl does not know about GDK), including
in particular events. This is not compatible with the X11 (glx)
flavour, and this is reflected by the different soname (libclutter-gdk-1.0.so),
as all X11 specific functions and classes are not available. If you
wish to be compatible, you should check for CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11.
Other than that, this backend should be on feature parity with X11,
including XInput 2, XSettings and EMWH (with much, much less code)

Avoid double argument checking, and a deprecation warning when
implementing create() as a wrapper around create_region(), by using
a simple internal function.
The number of deprecations in clutter-main.h makes the header harder to
parse, and more confusing. We can use a separate header under the
deprecated subdirectory to hold all the deprecated symbols.
Since Xlib.h is such a terrible citizen when it comes to symbol
namespacing it's not desirable to include Xlib.h if it is not absolutely
required. Cogl now has a standalone cogl-xlib.h that should be included
whenever any xlib specific symbols are required.
This patch updates clutter to include <cogl/cogl-xlib.h> wherever
clutter needs to use xlib specific cogl apis.

We use an atexit() handler to print out the profile report coming from
Uprof. The g_atexit() call has been deprecated by GLib, but since this
use case is pretty specific and it's not meant to be turned on by
default (or distributed) then we can safely disable the deprecation
warnings inside clutter-profile.c.
The g_atexit() function has been deprecated in GLib as it is a fairly
bad idea in basically all cases.
We could probably use a GCC destructor if we didn't care about
portability, but for the time being we just remove the atexit() handler
that disposed the backend.
There are a couple of gotchas in the 'mapped' flag that are not properly

Just like ClutterBindConstraint has two shorthand enumerations for binding

This function is called when the backend is being disposed - as a way
of releasing all ClutterShader. This doesn't take into account three
things:
- ClutterShader is deprecated
- the Backend is *never* disposed
- once the process terminates, all its resources are automatically
released by the OS
So the _clutter_shader_release_all() function is a pointless exercise
in futility.

Just like GLIB_DEPRECATED and GLIB_DEPRECATED_FOR, Clutter should have
its own wrappers for G_DEPRECATED and G_DEPRECATED_FOR, to allow opting
out of deprecation warnings.
Deprecation warnings are enabled by default, now, even when building
Clutter.
This moves a couple of definitions to the common types header, and makes
sure that ClutterBehaviour subclasses include clutter-behaviour.h first,
so that their types can be fully expanded without necessarily have the
ClutterBehaviour header header included by their public headers. This is
the necessary prelude to have clutter-behaviour.[ch] moved to the
deprecated section.
The code that has been deprecated should live into its own directory,
both in the repository and when installed. This should make it clear
which functionality is actually maintained and which is not.
We start with an oldie: the frame source API.
On top of the existing "Settings" group in the settings.ini file we
should have two more groups:
Environment - contains all the configuration possible through
environment variables
Debug - contains all the possible debug variables
ClutterSettings should be able to load its initial state by using
configuration files in SYSCONFDIR and XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This allows
Clutter to have a system (and user) configuration on platforms that
do not have XSETTINGS bridges.
We already have two mechanisms for controlling the font rendering
quality on a per-application basis:
• ClutterSettings properties
• clutter_backend_set_font_options()
The font flags were always a stop-gap solution, and one that tried to
simplify a fairly complex issue beyond the point of actually being
useful.

The grab API is a relic of Clutter 0.6, and hasn't been through proper
vetting in a *long* time — mostly due to the fact that we don't really
like grabs, and point to the ::captured-event as a way to implement
"soft grabs" in toolkits and applications.
The implementation of full and device grabs uses weak references on
actors instead of using the ::destroy signal, which is meant exactly for
the case of releasing pointers to actors when they are disposed.
The API naming scheme is also fairly broken, especially for
device-related grabs.
Finally, keyboard device grabs are just not implemented.
We can, in one go, clean up this mess and deprecate a bunch of badly
named API by introducing generic device grab/ungrab methods on
ClutterInputDevice, and re-implement the current API on top of them.
GLib deprecated g_thread_init(), and threading support is initialized
by GObject, so Clutter already runs with threading support enabled. We
can drop the clutter_threads_init() call requirement, and initialize the
Big Clutter Lock™ on clutter_init(). This reduces the things that have
to be done when dealing with threads with Clutter, and the things that
can possibly go wrong.
The Big Clutter Lock™ can now be a static GMutex, since GLib supports
them. We can also drop a bunch of checks given the recent changes in
GLib threading API.
The static initializer for GMutex has been removed from GLib.
The g_thread_supported() call can also be removed: threading is always
enabled in GLib ≥ 2.31.

A bunch of private functions we use when parsing got exposed accidentaly
to the list of public symbols by virtue of not having the leading '_'
that we use to filter them out of the shared object — all the while the
header that declares them is a private, non installed one.
Let's rectify this situation with a bit of minor surgery on the code.
The priv->text field cannot ever be NULL, so we don't need to check for
that in a series of places. We also need to assert() that pre-condition
in the couple of places where we set the contents of the ClutterText
actor, namely in set_text_internal() and set_markup_internal().
Based on a patch by: Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2629
Setting :use-markup and :text is currently not idempotent, and it
depends on the ordering, e.g.:
g_object_set (actor, "use-markup", TRUE, "text", value, NULL);
does not yield the same results as:
g_object_set (actor, "text", value, "use-markup", TRUE, NULL);
This is particularly jarring when using ClutterText from ClutterScript,
but in general GObject properties should not rely on the order when used
from g_object_set().
The fix is to store the contents of the ClutterText as a separate string
from the displayed text, and use the contents, instead of the displayed
text, when toggling the :use-markup property.
Let's also add a unit test for good measure, to try and catch
regressions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651940
The easing test is a nice example of what ClutterAnimation and
clutter_actor_animate() can do. The "tween ball to the pointer
event coordinates" is a bit of a staple in animation libraries
and their documentation.
When we paint a ClutterText we ask the actor for a PangoLayout that fits
inside the actor's allocation - both width and height.
Sadly, whenever a height is set on a PangoLayout, Pango will wrap its
contents - regardless of whether the layout should actually wrap or not.
This means that in certain easy to exploit cases, Clutter will paint a
Text actor with its contents wrapping even if the :wrap property is set
to FALSE.
In order to fix this we need to encode some more cases inside the
::paint implementation of ClutterText, and ask the cache for a layout
that is sized as the allocation's width, but not as its height; we also
need to perform a clip if we detect that the PangoLayout's logical size
is going to overflow the allocated size. This clip might cause some
performance issue, given that clipping breaks batching in the Cogl
journal; hopefully all clips for text are going to be screen-aligned, so
at the end of the batch it'll just scissor them out.

Like commit d0439cfb586ca14282c89035119a4acbc0295df7 for
AlignConstraint, let's check that the BindConstraint source is not
a child or a grandchild of the actor attached to the Constraint.
AlignConstraint won't work if the source is a child or a grandchild of
the ClutterActorMeta:actor to which it has been attached to: the
allocation flows from the parent to its children, not the other way
around; in order to avoid weirdness, we better document and check
that when we set the actor and when we set the source.
The repaint functions list can (and should) be manipulated from
different threads, but it currently doesn't prevent multiple threads
from accessing it concurrently. We should have a simple lock and take it
when adding and removing elements from the list; the invocation is still
performed under the Big Clutter Lock™, so it doesn't require special
handling.
Because we have had several reports about significant performance
regressions since we enabled offscreen redirection by default for
handling correct opacity we are now turning this feature off by default.
We feel that clutter should prioritize performance over correctness in
this case. Correct opacity is still possible if required but the
overhead of the numerous offscreen allocations as well as the cost of
many render target switches per-frame seems too high relative the
improvement in quality for many cases.
On reviewing the offscreen_redirect property so we have a way to
disable redirection by default we realized that it makes more sense for
it to take a set of flags instead of an enum so we can potentially
extend the number of things that might result in offscreen redirection.
We removed the ability to say REDIRECT_ALWAYS_FOR_OPACITY, since it
seems that implies you don't trust the implementation of an actor's
has_overlaps() vfunc which doesn't seem right.
The default value if actor::redirect_offscreen is now 0 which
effectively means don't ever redirect the actor offscreen.
If an actor using a LayoutManager has attributes like margin or padding
then it'll have to shave them from the available allocation before
passing it to the LayoutManager::allocate() implementation. Layout
managers should, thus, not assume that the origin of the allocation is
in (0, 0), but take into account that the passed ActorBox might have a
different origin.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649631
The actor is in charge of providing to the LayoutManager the available
allocation. ClutterBox should not just pass the box it got from its

This adds experimental API to be able to get the CoglContext associated
with the ClutterBackend. The CoglContext is required to use some of the
experimental 2.0 Cogl API.
Note: Since CoglContext is itself experimental API this API should
considered experimental too. This patch introduces a
CLUTTER_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API #ifdef guard which anyone wanting to use
this API must define so it's explicitly clear to developers that they
are playing with experimental API.
Note: This API is not yet supported on OSX because OSX still uses the
stub Cogl winsys and the Clutter backend doesn't explicitly create a
CoglContext.
Note: even though this is experimental API we still promise that it
wont be changed during a stable release cycle. This means for example
that you can depend on this for the lifetime of the clutter-1.8 stable
release cycle.
The :fontconfig-timestamp is a write-only property that will get updated
by the underlying platform whenever the fontconfig configuration has
been changed — i.e. when the fontconfig caches should be rebuilt after
the user has installed a new font.
This makes ClutterText implement the Scriptable interface so that we can
have a custom property parser and setter for the font-description
property. This works by simply passing the string description through
to clutter_text_set_font_name.

Actually this change has two notable effects; firstly we no longer
perform culling during picking and secondly we avoid updating the
last-paint-volume of an actor when picking.
We shouldn't perform culling during picking until clutter-stage.c is
updated to setup the clipping planes appropriately.
Since the last-paint-volume is intended to represent the visible region
of the actor the last time it was painted on screen it doesn't make
sense to update this during off screen pick renders since we are liable
to end up with a last-paint-volume that maps to an actors new position
when we next come to paint for real.

All 2D coordinate spaces in Cogl have their origin at the top-left so we
shouldn't be flipping the coordinates we pass to
cogl_framebuffer_swap_region to be relative to the bottom of the
framebuffer.
This bumps the Cogl version requirement to 1.7.5 since we've had to fix

Since commit 38b67e2884 of Cogl the naming scheme for winsys-specific

cogl_onscreen_win32_* so it wouldn't build on Windows.
Added isHiding field to _ClutterStageOSX to allow windowDidResignKey
delegate to not order full screen window back whilst the full screen
window was being hidden. This caused other application windows to be

The Animatable interface allows object classes to provide and animate
properties outside of the usual GObject property introspection API.
This change allows ClutterState to defer to the animatable objects the
property introspection and animation, just like ClutterAnimation does.
The animate_property() method of the Animatable interface is far less
than optimal:
• it has a direct reference to ClutterAnimation;
• it has an interval decomposed as two values.
These issues tie the Animatable interface with the Animation object,
even though it's neither necessary nor future-proof.
Let's introduce a new method, interpolate_value(), which does not
reference ClutterAnimation and uses a ClutterInterval to express the
initial and final states.
All ClutterModelIter virtual functions have a default implementation,
and G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS cannot return NULL unless in case of a
catastrophic event in the type system - which will most likely blow up
any application code way before you could call a ModelIter method.
Thus, the idiom:
klass = CLUTTER_MODEL_ITER_GET_CLASS (instance);
if (klass && klass->vfunc)
klass->vfunc (instance);
is utterly useless complication, and it can be perfectly replaced by:
CLUTTER_MODEL_ITER_GET_CLASS (instance)->vfunc (instance);
without any loss of safety.
Currently, only clutter_model_iter_set_valist() is in charge of emitting
the ClutterModel::row-changed signal. Both the set() and the
set_valist() functions can be called with multiple columns, so we
coalesce the signal emission at the end of the set_valist(), to have a
single ::row-changed emission per change.
The clutter_model_iter_set_value() function is just a thin wrapper
around the set_value() virtual function, but since it's called
internally we cannot add the signal emission there as well, as we'd
break the signal coalescing.
For this reason, we need some code refactoring inside the various set()
variants of ClutterModelIter:
- we only use the internal va_arg variant for both the set() and
set_valist() public functions, to avoid multiple type checks;
- the internal set_valist() calls an internal set_value() method
which calls the virtual function from the iterator vtable;
- a new internal emit_row_changed() method is needed to retrieve
the ClutterModel from the iterator, and emit the signal;
Now, all three variants of the value setter will call an internal
ClutterModelIter::set_value() wrapper, and emit the ::row-changed
signal.
To check that the intended behaviour has been implemented, and it's not
going to be broken, the test suite has grown a new unit which populates
a model and changes a random row.
Cally was initially created with Clutter 0.6 in mind. To check
recursively the visibility of a actor a custom method was added.
Since 0.8.4 clutter_actor_get_pain_visibility provides
the same functionality.
Also removed a dummy method. Lets add methods that provide a real
functionality.
Keeping the backing Cairo surface of a CairoTexture canvas in sync with
the actor's allocation is tedious and prone to mistakes. We can
definitely do better by simply exposing a property that does the surface
resize and invalidation automagically on ::allocate.
The current "create context/draw/destroy context" pattern presents
various problems. The first issue is that it defers memory management to
the caller of the create() or create_region() methods, which makes
bookkeeping of the cairo_t* harder for language bindings and third party
libraries. The second issue is that, while it's easier for
draw-and-forget texturs, this API is needlessly complicated for contents
that have to change programmatically - and it introduces constraints
like calling the drawing code explicitly after a surface resize (e.g.
inside an allocate() implementation).
By using a signal-based approach we can make the CairoTexture actor
behave like other actors, and like other libraries using Cairo as their
2D drawing API.
The semantics of the newly-introduced ::draw signal are the same as the
one used by GTK+:
- the signal is emitted on invalidation;
- the cairo_t* context is owned by the actor;
- it is safe to have multiple callbacks attached to the same
signal, to allow composition;
- the cairo_t* is already clipped to the invalidated area, so
that Cairo can discard geometry immediately before we upload
the texture data.
There are possible future improvements, like coalescing multiple
invalidations inside regions, and performing clipped draws during
the paint cycle; we could even perform clipped redraws if we know the
extent of the invalidated area.
ClutterTexture relies too much on GError, even for things that are
clearly programmer errors. Also, no error message passed to GError
is marked for translation as it should.
We should move the programmer errors, like passing the wrong bpp
value with regards to the presence of the alpha channel, to real
warnings; we should also try and harmonize all the error messages,
and not mention Cogl — especially in the ones marked for translation.
This avoids explicitly including gl or egl headers in
clutter-egl-headers.h. We were getting build failures when building
clutter against a libcogl that has runtime support for GL and GLES
because cogl-defines.h was including gl.h and then clutter-egl-headers.h
was later including GLES2/gl.h with typedef conflicts. Clutter relies on
Cogl to abstract GL and GLES and the winsys APIs like EGL and GLX so
Clutter should just rely on cogl.h to include the appropriate egl.h in
clutter-egl-headers.h.

Setting up the call and calling the GClosure was showing up in profiles

Instead of calling the closure, let's remember the alpha func and the
user_data when possible (ie set_mode() and set_func()) and use it in
get_alpha().

The "editable" property is documented to default to TRUE, but is
initialized to FALSE in the _init() function.
Third party code would be affected if we changed the default to be
TRUE, so we have to change the default value in the GParamSpec.

When emitting a new-frame signal, priv->elapsed_time is passed as a
parameter. This is a gint64. The closure marshal uses an INT. On some
platforms, this is not received correctly by signal handlers (they
receive 0). One solution is to cast priv->elapsed_time to a gint when
emitting the signal.
We cannot change the signature of the signal without breaking ABI.

Clutter may be used together with GTK+, which indirectly may use
XInput2 too, so the cookie data must persist when both are handling
events.
What happens now in a nutshell is, Clutter is only guaranteed to allocate
the cookie itself after XNextEvent(), and only frees the cookie if its
XGetEventData() call allocated the cookie data.
The X[Get|Free]EventData() calls happen now in clutter-event-x11.c as
hypothetically different event translators could also handle other set
of X Generic Events, or other libraries handling events for that matter.
When picking we need to disable dithering to be sure that the hardware
will not modify the colors we use as actor identifiers. Clutter was
manually calling glEnable/Disable GL_DITHER to handle this, but that was
a layering violation since Cogl is intended to handle all interactions
with OpenGL. Since we are now striving for GL vs GLES to be a runtime
choice we need to remove this last direct usage of GL from Clutter so it
doesn't have to be linked with GL at build time.

This updates _clutter_paint_volume_get_stage_paint_box to try and
calculate more stable paint-box sizes for fixed sized paint-volumes by
not basing the size on the volume's sub-pixel position.
So the aim is that for a given rectangle defined with floating point
coordinates we want to determine a stable quantized size in pixels that
doesn't vary due to the original box's sub-pixel position.
The reason this is important is because effects will use this API to
determine the size of offscreen framebuffers and so for a fixed-size
object that may be animated across the screen we want to make sure that
the stage paint-box has an equally stable size so that effects aren't
made to continuously re-allocate a corresponding fbo.
The other thing we consider is that the calculation of this box is
subject to floating point precision issues that might be slightly
different to the precision issues involved with actually painting the
actor, which might result in painting slightly leaking outside the
user's calculated paint-volume. This patch now adds padding to consider
this too.

Instead of relying on C to round the floating point allocation to
integers by flooring the values we now use CLUTTER_NEARBYINT to round

This is a replacement for the nearbyint function which always rounds to
the nearest integer. nearbyint is a C99 function so it might not always
be available but also it seems in glibc it is defined as a function call
so this macro could end up faster anyway. We can't just add 0.5 because
it will break for negative numbers.

The implementation of _clutter_actor_set_default_paint_volume which
simply uses the actor's allocation to determine a paint-volume was
needlessly using the allocation rounded to integers by internally using
clutter_actor_get_allocation_geometry instead of
clutter_actor_get_allocation_box. This was introducing a lot of
instability into the paint-volume due to the way rounding was done.
The code has now been updated to use clutter_actor_get_allocation_box
so we are dealing with the floating point allocation instead.

This adds a public function to get the bounds of the current clipped
redraw on a stage. This should only be called while the stage is being
painted. The function diverts to a virtual function on the
ClutterStageWindow implementation. If the function isn't implemented
or it returns FALSE then the entire stage is reported. The clip bounds
are in integer pixel coordinates in the stage's coordinate space.

Cogl recently renamed symbols with the form
cogl_onscreen_<platform>_blah to be consistent with other platform
specific APIs so they are now named like cogl_<platform>_onscreen_blah.
This makes the corresponding change to clutter.
Cogl changed has changed the name of cogl_context_egl_get_egl_context to
cogl_egl_context_get_egl_context to be consistent with other platform
specific symbols.
The class is of dubious utility, now that we have a complex animation
API in ClutterAnimator and ClutterState, as opposed to a simple one
in ClutterBehaviour. The Score API also suffers from some naïve design
issues that made it far less useful than intended.
