The commit that removed metacity-dialog added a global SIGCHLD handler
that caused problems by (a) calling waitpid(-1) and thus breaking
g_child_watch for everyone else, and (b) doing too much from a signal
handler and sometimes causing deadlocks (bug 596200).
This removes the global handler and has each zenity user create its
own child watch to watch for exit. (It also fixes the window class of
the zenity dialogs, so that meta_window_present_delete_dialog() will
work again.)
There was a problem where if, for example, a restack was triggered
out of a clutter event handler, then after Clutter processed the
events, it would proceed immmediately on to repaint the stage without
ever returning control to the GLib main loop. So even though we
had an idle handler installed with a higher priority than the
Clutter stage repainting the clutter stage repainting would happen
first and we'd get a wrong frame.
Fix this by introducing the idea of "later functions", which abstract
the idea of "doing something later" away from g_idle_add() and use
a combination of GLib idle functions and Clutter "repaint functions"
to get our callbacks triggered at the right time, even when they
are installed from a clutter event handler.

This also resolve a FIXME where MUTTER_PRIORITY_BEFORE_REDRAW
could starve stage repainting.
Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.

* src/ui, src/core, src/include: sort source files into these
directories according to which part of the WM they are supposed to
be in. In an eventual plan, we should also create
src/compositor/render, src/compositor/fallback and move some of
the compositor stuff into that.
* autogen.sh: require a newer automake, so we don't have to use
a recursive build
* src/ui/tabpopup.c: put in a hack to make the build temporarily
work, want to commit the large rearrangement before fixing this
not to include workspace.h or frame.h
* src/core/iconcache.c (meta_read_icons): temporarily break this
to get the build to work, want to commit the large rearrangement
before fixing this file not to include theme.h
