The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.

Avoid populating *_VERSION constants through cflags in pkg-config-file
which could be overridden by the project using it. Properly prefix the
defines with META_ to make gi-scanner happy.
This uses David Herrmann's new logind sessions interface to retrieve
fds for input devices, rather than using a custom setuid helper to do
the management. This vastly simplifies the interface.
This requires systemd v210, at least.

It's been long enough. We can mandate support for these, at least
at build-time. The code doesn't actually compile without either
of these, so just consider that unsupported.
This has one regression: the basic touch support added by
Carlos Garnacho in 991c85f is now partially reverted, since
we ported to Clutter events for this. We'll need to either
port his changes to Clutter, or restructure event handling
in mutter directly.
Due to changes in gnome-common git, an implicit m4 directory is no
longer created during autogen. The attached patch explicitly and
correctly specifies a macro directory.

Make sure that clutter is at the right minimum version for the API
we use, and that it is built with the right configure flags, by
checking for subpackage .pcs too.

Not only this way we get the right Adwaita cursor as the default
(instead of shipping our own in png format), but we also add
support for all MetaCursors as root cursor (which most important
should allow us to have I-beams in shell entries)

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
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.

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.

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 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.

This adds a --with-xwayland-path configure option that can be used to
specify the absolute path of a headless X server binary supporting
the wayland xserver protocol.
This adds a --enable-wayland configure option to enable building mutter
as a hybrid X and Wayland compositor. By default the option is disabled.
If enabled then HAVE_WAYLAND is defined for C code and as an automake
conditional.
This copies the xserver.xml wayland protocol into a protocol/ directory
since wayland support will depend on this protocol for communicating
with an xwayland X server. Copying the spec like this is consistent with
Weston so we don't need a configure option to locate an external spec.
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)

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.
