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.

Move the option from the mutter binary to libmutter, and
rename from --nested to --wayland.
This allows gnome-shell to drop the set_is_wayland_compositor()
call.

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.

It is a very bad idea in a glib program (especially one heavily
using glib child watching facilities, like gnome-shell) to handle
SIGCHLD. While we're there, let's also use g_spawn_async, which
solves some malloc-after-fork problems and makes the code generally
cleaner.

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 shouldn't announce to the session manager it's
"ready" until it's fully initialized. It currently tells
the session manager it's ready as soon as it hits the main
loop. This causes nautilus in classic mode to start before
we have workspaces initialized.

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.

We may not show the backtrace, but it's prohibitly expensive to generate,
so don't. If someone wants a backtrace they can use the appropriate G_DEBUG
environment variable plus GDB.

Require the headers for "XFree86" Xinerama to be present at compile
time. The older "Solaris" Xinerama is only needed for versions of
Solaris where Mutter is unlikely to work. Solaris 10 and 11 include
the XFree86 Xinerama libraries, and apparently that's the only version
that will actually work for Solaris 11, which uses Xorg.

meta_run() calls meta_finalize() after the main loop exits, which ends
up calling meta_display_close(), which calls
meta_quit(META_EXIT_SUCCESS), meaning that any exit status passed to
the original meta_quit() call is lost.
Fix this by ignoring meta_quit() calls after the main loop is no
longer running.

As a library, libmutter should not be setting the default translation
domain to point to itself.
Also, move the bindtextdomain() call earlier
(meta_get_option_context), so that translations of command-line
options will be available.
We could call textdomain() in mutter.c, but there's no need to, since
mutter uses dgettext() everywhere anyway.

This made sense back in the day of stateless window managers,
but gnome-shell isn't. gnome-session will handle gnome-shell
crashing, since it's a required component.

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.

Move all of the mutter code into a new libmutter-wm.so, split its
main() method into meta_get_option_context(), meta_init() and
meta_run(), add methods for using in-process plugins, and add
libmutter-wm.pc pointing to the new library.
The mutter binary is now just a tiny program that links against
libmutter-wm. The --version and --mutter-plugins options are handled
at the mutter level, not in libmutter-wm, and a few strange unused
command-line options (--no-force-fullscreen and --no-tab-popup) have
been removed.

meta_restart() was broken, in that it restarted mutter with what was
left of argv after GOption and Clutter had possibly modified it.
Rather than try to fix this, just remove it.

Revert the early_initialize changes (which get in the way in the
"libmutter-wm" paradigm), remove the GConf key for setting plugins,
and remove plugin "params", which weren't being used. Also remove all
the logic for unloading and reloading plugins, since the list never
changes after startup now.

For GNOME Shell, we need to grab our DBus names *before* we talk XSMP.
gnome-session takes our XSMP connection as "I'm ready", and starts
running all the other random crud that people dropped in as autostart
files. But for example, we need to have claimed
org.freedesktop.Notifications before a lot of said crud starts.
This requires a plugin API version bump.
Misc: Move handling of --version way earlier in main() where
it should be; no point having it wedged after plugin handling.
On gcc-4.4 (void)<expr> doesn't suppress warnings from
__attribute__((warn_unused_result)), so use
G_GNUC_UNUSED (which expands to __attribute__((unused))) instead
of removing a dummy variable.

This patch removes the ability to disable compositing in mutter. As
clutter compositing was the reason for the fork from metacity, turning
compositing off does not make sense.

While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

Move all objects and functions namespaced with Mutter into the Meta namespace
to get a single consistent namespace. Changes that aren't simply changing mutter
to meta:
MutterWindow => MetaWindowActor
mutter_get_windows => meta_get_window_actors
mutter_plugin_get_windows => meta_plugin_get_window_actors

Although multi-screen support has not been tested and probably
doesn't fully work, the basic setup for multi-screen is that
we have the same list of plugins for all screens, but a different
instance of the plugins for each screen.
To allow plugins to do setup that is screen independent and needs
to occur early in the setup process, we identify a "default plugin
manager" and load (but not start) that plugin manager's plugins
immediately after we know our list of plugins.
That plugin manager is then reused for the first screen we open
and the plugins are started at that time. Separate plugin managers
are loaded and started for any other screens we open.
(A plugin could keep track of whether the screen-independent
setup has been done in a static variable, or it could do everything
in a way that is safe to do repeatedly.)

(This is inspired by Metacity commit 45cbaa2 by Thomas Thurman, but
much simpler - the use of g_date_strftime("%Y") ended up being just
%d for all 90+ current translations)
