Remove grab window and cursor from the API, and just grab always
on the stage window with no cursor.
This is mainly to remove the X11 usage in the public API, in preparation
for implementing this in wayland.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705917
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

GNOME Shell's actors aren't touch capable, so we need to make sure that
they get the fallback pointer emulated events for now. This fixes the top
bar and other elements not working on a touchscreen without a grab.

gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

We substract one from the unredirect counter when enable_unredirect_for_screen
gets called. It is an unsigned integer so substracting one from zero (which means enable) would overflow and thus keep it peramently enabled.
This should never happen because it means there is an unmatched
enable / disable pair somewhere. So in addition to fixing it add a
warning when this case gets triggered.

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)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698794
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
The hierarchy handling is handled in the shell by adding stuff
directly to the uiGroup, and we have a dedicated actor for
the overview there, so we don't need this anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
If _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION is set when the window is first mapped, the
initial load_properties will happen before the window actor is created,
and we'll have a call to meta_compositor_window_shape_changed. Just
fizzle this call out instead of doing anything fancy, as we'll pick
up the opaque region when the window actor is eventually created.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695813
Window actors might be temporarily parented to intermediate actors during
effect, but we should not require that the plugin keeps track of stacking.
Rather, assume that the intermediate groups holds a whole stack, and
applying position within it.

When windows get redirected off screen, all that gets left behind
is black. We don't want to flicker black at startup, though.
This commit maps the overlay window early, before redirecting
toplevels, so they end up getting snapshotted onto the background
pixmap of the overlay window when the overlay window is mapped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694321
Commit 4f2bb583bf started to use a clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full
callback instead of connecting to the stage's paint signal.
The callback has to return TRUE if it wants to be called again, so fix that
as we want to call it for every frame (otherwise apps supporting the WM SYNC
protocol will stop drawing).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695006
Doing so causes useless full stage redraws and breaks culling
as clutter cannot know how the signal handler affects painting.
So use clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full with the
CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT flag instead.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693922
The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693833
Put override redirect windows such as menus into a separate window group
stacked above everything else. This will allow us to visually put these
above other compositior chrome.
Based on a patch from Muffin.

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Add a function to convert from g_get_monotonic_time() to a
"high-resolution server timestamp" with microsecond precision.
These timestamps will be used when communicating frame timing
information to the client.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Using a "sync delay" where we wait for 2 ms after the vblank before
starting to draw the next frame provides for much more predictable
latency for applications. An application can know that if it completes
a frame any time between 8ms before the vblank to the vblank,
it will reliably be drawn on the following vblank period, rather than
having an unpredictable latency depending on whether the compositor
is currently busy drawing a frame or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
When the application provides the extended second counter for
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, send a client message with completion
information after the next redraw after each counter update
by the application.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Replace the unused meta_compositor_set_updates() with
a reversed-meaning meta_compositor_set_updates_frozen(), and use
it to implement freezing application window updates during
interactive resizing. This avoids drawing new areas of the window
with blank content before the application has a chance to repaint.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688779
Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).
Instead, provide a hook to allow the compositor to filter out keybindings
before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
The "multiple plugins loaded at once" strategy was always a big fiction:
while it may be viable if you're super careful, it's fragile and requires
a bit of infrastructure that we would be better off without.
Note that for simplicity, we're keeping the MetaPluginManager, but it only
manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676855
If we get two configure events on the root window in close
sequence, then we could get the sequence:
ConfigureNotify on the root window w1xh1
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
ConfigureNotify on the root window, w2xh2
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w2, h2)
ConfigureNotify on the stage window, w1, h1)
Processed by Clutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
Leaving the stage at the wrong size. To avoid fighting with Clutter,
switch to resizing the stage with XResizeWindow(), similar to how a
toplevel window is handled by a window manager.
XFixesCreateRegionFromWindow does not take the window's position into account,
which results into setting a wrong shape for windows not located on the
leftmost monitor.
Fix that by creating the region from the window's MetaRectangle.

* Export meta_display_add_ignored_crossing_serial()
* Add the serial for reshaping the stage
* Increase the size of the "ignored_serials" array a bit to
try to avoid the possibility of losing serials from multiple
reshapes happening close together.

Some apps that do a lot of rendering on the screen like games, mostly run in
fullscreen where there is no need for them to be redirected doing so does add
an overhead; while performance is critical for those apps.
This can be disabled / enabled at runtime using
meta_enable_unredirect_for_screen / meta_disable_unredirect_for_screen
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597014
Instead of requiring a singleton MetaBackgroundActor for the screen,
allow creating multiple copies that internally share a single
CoglTexture behind the scenes. This will be useful for allowing
multiple views of the screen background with different rendering
options.
