For wayland meta_window_move_to_monitor sends a configure to the client
without actually moving the window, yet and the
meta_display_queue_check_fullscreen call won't detect any changes.
Checking for fullscreen in meta_window_update_monitor fixes the problem
because it is called whenever the window actually changed the monitor it
is on.

We'd guess the initial monitor before it was actually calculated by
looking at the initial geometry. For Wayland windows, this geometry was
always 0x0+0+0, thus the selected monitor was always the primary one.
This is problematic if we want to provide initial more likely
configurations to Wayland clients. While we're not doing that yet, it'll
be added later, and this is in preparation for that.

This will later be used to tell Wayland clients about a size they
shouldn't exceed.
If the window doesn't have a main monitor, this function does nothing
and returns FALSE.

meta_window_(un)queue() was implemented with global arrays in window.c
that managed MetaLater handle IDs and lists of window queues. In order
to rely less on scattered static variables and making it clearer that
we're dealing with per display window management and not something
specific to a single window, move the window resize/calc-showing queue
management to MetaDisplay.

It's still used by e.g. GNOME Shell to produce fallback icons for X11
applications that doesn't come with a .desktop file. Geometry stays in
the generic class because it's used for minimize animations and is
configured by the panel (e.g. the one in gnome-shell-extensions).

The comments in this function tells a story of C programmer self
reflecting about data types and Perl. While that can be nice, the rest
consisted mostly of repeating what the code line below did, with the end
result being that the function didn't fit on screen, resulting in worse
readability overall.

We save the window rect before going fullscreen to a dedicated variable,
so we can go back to the correct dimension. We also have a dedicated
variable for returning from other window states, e.g. maximized, and
this one we initialized when creating the MetaWindow. This meant that we
could always rely on this being up to date on X11 windows that were
mapped maximized or fullscreen.
What the commit that introduced the saved rect dedicated for going
unfullscreen missed was to initialize the new saved rectangle too when
creating the MetaWindow. This resulted in windows mapped as fullscreen
often ending up misbehaving when unfullscreening, as mutter would tell
them to unfullscreen to 0x0.

Change some things in these "app is alive" checks:
- The dialog timeout is separated from the ping timeout, in order
to show it again at a constant rate after dismissing, despite in
flight pings. It still shows immediately after the first failed
ping.
- As we want to tap further into is-alive logic, MetaWindow now
made it a property, that other places in code can fetch and
subscribe.
- Motion events trigger ping (as long as there was none other in
flight for the same window), and are counted between ping and
pong, in order to preemptively declare the window as not alive
before there is trouble with event queues being overflown.
This results in a separate logic between "the application does
not respond" and "we are showing the close dialog" so that the
former may get triggered independently.

Currently the stored unconstrained_rect is only ever updated if there
was a move, resize or state change according to the move_resize_internal
implementation. For Wayland windows however resizes or state changes
are done in two steps, first the new configuration is sent to the client
and then once client acknowledges it, it is set on the mutter side in
another move_resize_internal call. Only the second call would result in
the unconstrained_rect being updated.
This started causing problems when unfullscreening windows was
immediately followed by a strut change. These strut changes started
happening in gnome-shell due to the visibility of the panel now being
considered for the struts and the presence of a fullscreen causing it to
be hidden until unfullscreen. In this situation first the unfullscreen
would resize the window to its pre-fullscreen size as expected, but then
the strut change triggers another window resize. This window resize is
based on the stored unconstrained_rect, which is still at the fullscreen
size because the unfullscreen resize only has sent its configuration,
but it has not been acknowledged yet. As a result the strut change
causes a resize to the fullscreen size which due to the constraints now
looks like a maximized window.
To fix this always update the unconstrained_rect when the requested size
has changed, but not when a previous request has been acknowledged
unless it is originating from the client itself.
If this included the move_resize_internal call from acknowledging the
size as well, it would be possible for this to be delayed long enough on
the client side to overwrite an intermediate resize originating from
mutter. And if this did not include resizes originating from the client,
clients would not be able to set an initial window size.

If the ancestor a window is transient for has already been unmanaged
when the window is activated via meta_window_activate_full while its
transient_for property still points to that ancestor, this will cause
the already unmanaged ancestor to get added to the windows workspace.
This is after the ancestor had its workspace set to NULL when it was
unmanaged, causing this to look like an actual workspace change. Once
the window has been added to the workspace, it will never be removed
again, because the it has already been unmanaged. This confuses things
like the shell window tracker and leads to phantom windows being
considered present for apps that are not even running anymore.

Currently the only way to get cgroup for a MetaWindow is to get it's
PID and perform a bunch of file accesses and string manipulations.
This is especially not feasible if we want to get the cgroup every
time a MetaWindow has gained or lost focus.
A solution to this is to cache the GFile for a cgroup path.
The creation and access of this GFile is handled by
`meta_window_get_unit_cgroup` function.
`meta_window_unit_cgroup_equal` is a utility function which allows
us to compare whether two MetaWindows belong to the same cgroup.

Makes workspace transitions in gnome-shell look more seamless, since
both outgoing and incoming workspace have focused windows.
This is only done for click focus mode, since it's not known which
window would be focused for the other modes.
Track the state and recompute it when it changes, to avoid redrawing
the windows needlessly.

X11 clients can use different models of input handling, of which some
may not result focus being set synchronously.
For such clients, meta_focus_window() will not change the focus itself
but rely on the client itself to set the input focus on the desired
window.
Add a new MetaWindow API to check when dealing with such a window.

Since commit c255031b6d we pass scroll-events through to
the compositor if the window_grab_modifiers are pressed;
in order to allow gnome-shell to check for those events,
expose the struct member as a MetaDisplay property.
Also take the opportunity to pick a more generic name, now
that the modifier is no longer used exclusively for mouse
clicks (unless we maintain the notion of scroll events as
button 4 and 5 "clicks").

We remove pending pings when unmanaging a window, but currently
don't prevent new pings to be scheduled after that.
The previous commit fixed a code path where this did indeed happen,
but as the result of gnome-shell trying to attach a Clutter actor
to a non-existent window actor is pretty bad, also guard can_ping()
against being called for an unmanaging window.

Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.

Commit 03c69ed8 ("Do not go past size hints on resize") was meant to
ensure the size hints set by the client would be honored during resize,
as going past those values could cause the window to move on resize.
However, it did so by calling ensure_size_hints_satisfied() which works
with the frame rect rather than the client rect. As a result, the
minimum size enforced would end up being larger than expected with
client-side decorations.
Use meta_window_maybe_apply_size_hints() instead which automatically
adjusts for client size.

We will use a dedicated variable when transitioning to/from fullscreen state
and leave the previously used 'saved_rect' exclusively for transitioning
between floating and maximized state.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/801
On interactive resize, mutter calculates the difference in size based on
the pointer location and relies on window constraints to ensure the
minimum size is honored.
Wayland however does asynchronous window configuration, meaning that not
checking for size hints early enough may lead to the window moving as
the locations was initially computed on a size which will be invalidate
by the client eventually.
Make sure to respect the client size hint on update_resize() so that we
don't end up with a window moving unexpectedly when the client
eventually acked the configuration.

Aligning windows manually with other windows has become less important
since the advent of tiling. This decreases the usefulness of edge
resistance, which in fact many users perceive as lag nowadays.
Account for that by limiting resistance to screen and monitor edges by
default, and only include windows when the control key is pressed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679609
Commit 033f0d11bf added a fallback in case the tile monitor wasn't
set before, but didn't actually check for a previously set value.
As a result, the "fallback" is not set unconditionally, which may
differ from the expected monitor: The tile monitor is determined
by the pointer position, while the window's monitor is the one
where the biggest part of the window resides on.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Since PIDs are inherently insecure because they are reused after a
certain amount of processes was started, it's possible the client PID
was spoofed by the client.
So make sure users of the meta_window_get_pid() API are aware of those
issues and add a note to the documentation that the PID can not be
totally trusted.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
Since the PID of a window can't change as long as the window exists, we
can safely cache it after we got a valid PID once, so do that by adding
a new `window->client_pid` private property.
