The check-alive feature is there for the user to be able to terminate
frozen applications more easily. However, sometimes applications are
implemented in a way where they fail to be reply to ping requests in a
timely manner, resulting in that, to the compositor, they are
indistinguishable from clients that have frozen indefinitely.
When using an application that has these issues, the GUI showed in
response to the failure to respond to ping requests can become annoying,
as it disrupts the visual presentation of the application.
To allow users to work-around these issues, add a setting allowing them
to configure the timeout waited until an application is considered
frozen, or disabling the check completely.

On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/647
Some special modifiers (typically "Control_L" used for locate-pointer in
mutter/gnome-shell or "Super_L" for overlay) must be handled separately
from the rest of the key bindings.
Add a new flag `META_KEY_BINDING_NO_AUTO_GRAB` so we can tell when
dealing with that special keybinding which should not be grabbed
automatically like the rest of the keybindings, and skip those when
changing the grabs of all keybindings.

Make meson link libmutter using -fvisibility=hidden, and introduce META_EXPORT
and META_EXPORT_TEST defines to mark a symbols as visible.
The TEST version is meant to be used to flag symbols that are only used
internally by mutter tests, but that should not be considered public API.
This allows us to be more precise in selecting what is exported and what is
not, without the need of a version-script file that would be more complicated
to maintain.

It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.
Given that and the limitation to server-side decorated X11 windows,
GTK4 removed the client-side API for setting the hint, it's time to
follow suite and retire the feature.

GTK+ won't be initialized if X11 is not available
Instead, when setting gtk-shell-shows-app-menu,
meta_prefs_set_show_fallback_app_menu should be
called as well.

Add a mechanism to MetaWaylandSurface that inhibits compositor's own
shortcuts when the surface has input focus, so that clients can receive
all key events regardless of the compositor own shortcuts.
This will help with implementing "fake" active grabs in Wayland and
XWayland clients.

Moved from g-s-d's media keys plugin, where it was called "video-out",
since it requires changing the current monitor configuration and we
want to remove the old DBus API.
This implementation is intentionally simple and not really meant for
more than debugging and validating the various configurations. A
better user experience will be introduced in gnome-shell with a custom
keybinding handler.
The default value includes <Super>P in addition to the standard keysym
for historical reasons.

Rest in peace you magnificent format, love-child of arcane X11 drawing
API and markup craze, you will not be missed.
We do remember however the bravery of a many men and women, who fearlessly
descended into the guts of your intrinsics and turned ugliness into beauty;
their work will still be spoken of when you will long have been forgotten.

Now that the internal mutter bindings and gnome-shell stopped using
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES, and after moving the 'adding shift reverses
the keybinding action' logic to gnome-control-center, we can remove
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES from mutter.
Plugin API is broken as this constant is removed from the exported
headers. ABI is broken as using this flag is now a noop.

We want to synchronize the button layouts of our server side
decorations and GTK+'s client side ones. However each currently
may contain buttons not supported by the other, which makes this
unnecessarily tricky.
So add support for a new "appmenu" button in the layout, to display
the fallback app menu in the decorations.

Currently the only way to move a window to another monitor via
keyboard is to start a move operation and move it manually using
arrow keys. We do have all the bits of a dedicated keybinding in
place already, so offer it as a more comfortable alternative.

Mechanically transform the event processing of mutter to care
about XI2 events instead of Core Events. Core Events will be left
in the dust soon, and removed entirely.

Add an additional "switcher" keybinding for switching between
applications rather than windows (like the existing 'switch-windows'
and 'switch-group' bindings).
The purpose of the new keybinding is to be taken over by gnome-shell's
application-based alt-tab popup, so rather than actually implementing
an application switcher in mutter, let it duplicate the normal window
switcher when run standalone.

Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
moving.

If we want to support keybindings from extensions installed in the user's
directory, we can't take a schema, as the GSettings object needs to have
a special GSettingsSchemaSource.
