This was a bad idea, as ping/pong has moved to a client-specific
request/event pair, rather than a surface-specific one. Revert
the changes we made here and correct the code to make up for it.
This reverts commit aa3643cdde.
The goal here is to make MetaWindow represent a toplevel, managed window,
regardless of if it's X11 or Wayland, and build an abstraction layer up.
Right now, most of the X11 code is in core/ and the wayland code in wayland/,
but in the future, I want to move a lot of the X11 code to a new toplevel, x11/.
The compositor code used to handle X windows that didn't have a
corresponding MetaWindow (see commit d538690b), which is why the
attribute query is separated.
As that doesn't happen any more, we can clean up. No functional changes.
Suggested by Owen Taylor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721345
Do this by duplicating the current code and porting it to use
X again. A better approach would involve our own event structures,
and I really don't want to do that right now. We can clean this up
later.
We require a MetaWindow to properly implement some of the requests
for xdg_surface, so add a way to have an unmapped MetaWindow that
we can store properties on, that we later map when the client
attaches a buffer...
Cache the computed border size so we can fetch the border size at
any time without worrying that we'll be spending too much time in
the theme code (in some cases we might allocate a PangoFontDescription
or do other significant work.)
The main effort here is clearing the cache when various bits of window
state change that could potentially affect the computed borders.

There is now a meta_display_handle_event alongside the
meta_display_handle_xevent function which handles events in terms of
Clutter events instead of X events. A Clutter event filter is
registered so that all Clutter events will pass through this function.
The pointer event handling code from the X event version has been moved
into this new function and has been modified to use the details from
the Clutter event instead of the X event. This is a step towards
moving all of the event handling code over to use Clutter events.

To properly resize clients, we need to send them configure events
with the size we computed from the constraint system, and
then check if the new size they ask is compatible with
our expectation.
Note that this does not handle interactive resizing yet, it
merely makes the API calls work for wayland clients.

Add a new interface, gtk_shell, than can be used by gtk to
retrieve a surface extension called gtk_surface, which will be
used to communicate with mutter all the GTK extensions to EWMH
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707128
Add support for GTK application menus
To do so, we need to be able to set surface state before creating
the MetaWindow, so we introduce MetaWaylandSurfaceInitialState as
a staging area.
The gtk-shell-surface implementation would either write to the
initial state, or directly to the window.
At the same, implement set_title and set_class too, because it's
easy enough.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707128
Consolidate all places that deal with output configuration in
MetaScreen, which gets it either from XRandR or from a dummy static configuration.
We still need to read the Xinerama config, even when running xwayland,
because we need the indices for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS, but
now we do it only when needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
This breaks down the assumptions in stack-tracker.c and stack.c that
Mutter is only stacking X windows.
The stack tracker now tracks windows using a MetaStackWindow structure
which is a union with a type member so that X windows can be
distinguished from Wayland windows.
Some notable changes are:
Queued stack tracker operations that affect Wayland windows will not be
associated with an X serial number.
If an operation only affects a Wayland window and there are no queued
stack tracker operations ("unvalidated predictions") then the operation
is applied immediately since there is no server involved with changing
the stacking for Wayland windows.
The stack tracker can no longer respond to X events by turning them into
stack operations and discarding the predicted operations made prior to
that event because operations based on X events don't know anything
about the stacking of Wayland windows.
Instead of discarding old predictions the new approach is to trust the
predictions but whenever we receive an event from the server that
affects stacking we cross-reference with the predicted stack and check
for consistency. So e.g. if we have an event that says ADD window A then
we apply the predictions (up to the serial for that event) and verify
the predicted state includes a window A. Similarly if an event says
RAISE_ABOVE(B, C) we can apply the predictions (up to the serial for
that event) and verify that window B is above C.
If we ever receive spurious stacking events (with a serial older than we
would expect) or find an inconsistency (some things aren't possible to
predict from the compositor) then we hit a re-synchronization code-path
that will query the X server for the full stacking order and then use
that stack to walk through our combined stack and force the X windows to
match the just queried stack but avoiding disrupting the relative
stacking of Wayland windows. This will be relatively expensive but
shouldn't be hit for compositor initiated restacking operations where
our predictions should be accurate.
The code in core/stack.c that deals with synchronizing the window stack
with the X server had to be updated quite heavily. In general the patch
avoids changing the fundamental approach being used but most of the code
did need some amount of re-factoring to consider what re-stacking
operations actually involve X or not and when we need to restack X
windows we sometimes need to search for a suitable X sibling to restack
relative too since the closest siblings may be Wayland windows.
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.

We now track whether a window has an input shape specified via the X
Shape extension. Intersecting that with the bounding shape (as required
by the X Shape extension) we use the resulting rectangles to paint
window silhouettes when picking. As well as improving the correctness of
picking this should also be much more efficient because typically when
only picking solid rectangles then the need to actually render and issue
a read_pixels request can be optimized away and instead the picking is
done on the cpu.
Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
Previously, we were handling failure to respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
in the code path for throttling motion events. But this meant that
if a window didn't respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST and there were no
motion events - for a keyboard resize, or after the end of the grab
operation - it would end up in a stuck state.
Use a separate per-window timeout to reliably catch the failure to respond
to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694046
During resizing we froze window updates when configuring the
window, and unfroze the window updates when processing the
next resize. This wasn't absolutely reliable, because we might
not have a next resize. Instead tie window freezing more
directly to the current sync request value - a window is
frozen until it catches up with the last value we sent it
in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
Testing with unresponsive clients showed that there was a bug
where window->disable_sync once set, would not actually disable
sync, but it *would* disable noticing that the client was
unresponsive for the next resize. Fix that by checking for
->disable_sync before sending _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694046
meta_window_is_remote compares a cached copy of the system hostname
with the hostname of the client window
(as presented by the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).
Of course, the system hostname can change at any time, so caching
it is wrong. Also, the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property won't necessarily
change when the system hostname changes, so comparing it with the
new system hostname is wrong, too.
This commit makes the code call gethostname() at the time
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE is set, check whether it's remote then, and cache
that value, rather than comparing potentially out of sync hostnames
later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688716
The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693833
When a client is drawing as hard as possible (without sleeping
between frames) we need to draw as soon possible, since sleeping
will decrease the effective frame rate shown to the user, and
can also result in the system never kicking out of power-saving
mode because it doesn't look fully utilized.
Use the amount the client increments the counter value by when
ending the frame to distinguish these cases:
- Increment by 1: a no-delay frame
- Increment by more than 1: a non-urgent frame, handle normally
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
When the application provides the extended second counter for
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, send a client message with completion
information after the next redraw after each counter update
by the application.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
If an application provides two values in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER,
use that as a signal that the applications wants an extended behavior
where it can update the counter as well as the window manager. If the
application updates the counter to an odd value, updates of the
window are frozen until the counter is updated again to an even value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Instead of creating a new alarm each time we resize a window
interactively, create an alarm the first time we resize a window
and keep it around permanently until we unmanage the window.
Doing it this way will be useful when we allow the application to
spontaneously generate sync request updates to indicate
frames it is drawing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
Replace the unused meta_compositor_set_updates() with
a reversed-meaning meta_compositor_set_updates_frozen(), and use
it to implement freezing application window updates during
interactive resizing. This avoids drawing new areas of the window
with blank content before the application has a chance to repaint.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
This new hint allows compositors to know what portions of a window
will be obscured, as a region above them is opaque. For an RGB window,
possible to glean this information from the bounding shape region of
a client window, but not for an ARGB32 window. This new hint allows
clients that use ARGB32 windows to say which part of the window is
opaque, allowing this sort of optimization.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679901
We have some code in gnome-shell that does the equivalent of:
window.get_workspace() == workspace || window.is_on_all_workspaces();
which is a bit unwieldy. We already have a method in mutter,
so use that and document it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691744
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688779
This removes some duplicate event type checks, and will make
the code cleaner in the future when we want to make the grab_op_event
handler take an XIDeviceEvent directly.

Returns the matching tiled window. This is the topmost tiled window in a
complementary tile mode that is:
- on the same monitor;
- on the same workspace;
- spanning the remaining monitor width;
- there is no 3rd window stacked between both tiled windows that's
partially visible in the common edge.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643075
For maximized windows, titlebars cannot be used to reposition or
scale the window, so if an application does not use it to convey
useful information (other than the application name), the screen
space occupied by titlebars could be put to better use.
To account for this use case, a setting for requesting that windows'
titlebars should be hidden during maximization has been added to
GTK+, add support for this in the window manager.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665617
meta_window_get_current_tile_area() computes the area where the tiled window
should be based on the current pointer position but that's only meaningful
when the user is actually dragging the window.
When running the tiling constrain the pointer might be on other monitor and at
that point the window jumps to this other monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642580
When using more than one monitor, tiled maximization can be triggered with the
pointer in one monitor while most of the window area remains in another. This
means that the maximization constraint would maximize the window into the wrong
monitor as it uses the work area size/position as target.
Fix this by using the current tile area as target size/position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657519
If XRANDR is availible, we track the first (or primary) output per
crtc (== xinerama monitor) so when the monitors change we can try
to find the same output and move windows there. If we can't find the
original monitor in the new set (or XRANDR is not supported) we move
the window to the primary monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645408
Different bits of code were using slightly different checks to test
whether a window was an attached dialog. Add a new
meta_window_is_attached_dialog(), and use that everywhere.
Also, freeze the is-attached status when the window is first shown,
rather than recomputing it each time the caller asks, since this could
cause problems if a window changes its type after it has already been
attached, etc. However, if an attached window's parent is destroyed,
or an attached window changes its transient-for, then fix things up by
destroying the old MetaWindow and creating a new one (causing
compositor unmap and map events to be fired off, allowing the display
of the window to be fixed up).
Remove some code in display.c that tried to fix existing windows if
the gconf setting changed, but which didn't actually do anything (at
least under gnome-shell). However, if 654643 was fixed then the new
behavior with this patch would be that changing the gconf setting
would affect new dialogs, but not existing ones.

Since version 3.0, GTK+ has support for style variants. At the moment,
themes may provide a dark variant, which can be requested by
applications via GtkSettings. The requested variant is exported to
X11 via the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property - support this property, in
order to pick up the correct style variant in the future.

An ARGB window with a frame is likely something like a transparent
terminal. It looks awful (and breaks transparency) to draw a big
opaque black shadow under the window, so clip out the region under
the terminal from the shadow we draw.
Add meta_window_get_frame_bounds() to get a cairo region for the
outer bounds of the frame of a window, and modify the frame handling
code to notice changes to the frame shape and discard a cached
region. meta_frames_apply_shapes() is refactored so we can extract
meta_frames_get_frame_bounds() from it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635268
We need to redraw a window's shadow any time the value of
meta_window_appears_focused() changes. So make that into a property so
we can get notifications on it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636904
Sometimes on_all_workspaces is requested by the client/user, and sometimes
its calculated implicitly due to internal state. We split this up so that
we know when the user has explicitly asked for sticky window, when e.g.
setting wmspec properties or storing session info.
on_all_workspaces means this window is visible on all workspaces.
on_all_workspaces_requested, means the user explicitly made the window
sticky somehow (via imported session, _NET_WM_STATE from another wm,
toggled in the window menu, etc). It always implies on_all_workspaces is
TRUE.
Right now the only time we set on_all_workspaces is for override-redirect
windows, but later we can add a "windows on non-primary monitor are not
part of the workspace switching" feature.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
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/.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643959
Drag operations may be cancelled, in which case the dragged window
should be restored to the position/state it had when the drag was
initialized. In order to do this for tiled states, the original
state has to be saved during the operation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
The previous tiling state of a grabbed window should be restored
if the drag operation is cancelled (by hitting the Escape key).
This might involve to meta_window_tile(), so export the function
in window-private.h.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
It may be desirable for theme authors to treat side-by-side tiled
windows differently, for instance to give the edge-touching border
a width of 0, so add additional frame states for tiled windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637330
In addition to the existing side-by-side tiling modes, this commit
adds a new "maximize" tiling mode. It allows the user to maximize
their windows (in other words, tile with the edge panels) by dragging
their window to the top edge of the monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
A maximized window can't be resized from the screen edges (preserves
Fitts law goodness for the application), but it's still possible
to start a resize drag with alt-middle-button. Currently we just
don't let the user resize the window, while showing drag feedback;
it's more useful to let the user "break" out from the resize.
This provides a fast way to get a window partially aligned with
the screen edges - maximize, then alt-drag it out from one edge.
Behavior choices in this patch:
- You can drag out a window out of maximization in both directions -
smaller and larger. This can be potentilaly useful in multihead.
- Dragging a window in only one direction unmaximizes the window
fully, rather than leaving it in a horizontally/vertically
maximized state. This is done because the horizontally/vertically
maximzed states don't have clear visual representation and can
be confusing to the user.
- If you drag back to the maximized state after breaking out,
maximization is restored, but you can't maximize a window by
dragging to the full size if it didn't start out that way.
A new internal function meta_window_unmaximize_with_gravity() is
added for implementing this; it's a hybrid of
meta_window_unmaximize() and meta_window_resize_with_gravity().
Port of the metacity patch from Owen Taylor in bug 622517.

When dragging a window over a screen edge and dropping it there,
maximize it vertically and scale it horizontally to cover the
corresponding half of the current monitor.
Whenever a "hot area" which triggers this behavior is entered, an
indication of window's target size is displayed after a short delay
to avoid distraction when moving a window between monitors.

A per-window _MUTTER_HINTS property allowing plugins to use custom hints. The
property holds a colon separated list of key=value pairs; plugin-specific keys
must be suitably namespaced, while 'mutter-' prefix is reserved for internal
Mutter use only.
This commit adds MetaWindow::mutter-hints property, and
meta_window_get_mutter_hints() accessor, as well as the internal machinery for
reading and updating of the hints.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613123
For some consumers it's significantly more convenient to be able
to directly connect to a signal on the Window to know when
Mutter is done with it, rather than having to connect to each
Workspace object (and handle workspace additions, etc.).
Similarly, add window-created which acts globally.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598289
mutter-window.c originally grew an #include "window-private.h" for
window->override_redirect, but that was just fixed. However since
then it also ended up relying on a few other minor private bits.
To fix that, add meta_window_is_mapped, promote meta_window_toplevel_is_mapped
to public, and use the public MetaDisplay accessor.
Previously, changes to the visibility of a window could be indicated
by meta_compositor_map_window(), meta_compositor_unminimize_window(),
meta_compositor_set_window_hidden(), etc, with the exact behavior
depending on the 'live_hidden_windows' preference.
Simplify this so that visibility is controlled by:
meta_compositor_show_window()
meta_compositor_hide_window()
With an 'effect' parameter provided to indicate the appropriate
effect (CREATE/UNMINIMIZE/MINIMIZE/DESTROY/NONE.)
The map state of the window is signalled separately by:
meta_compositor_map_window()
meta_compositor_unmap_window()
And is used only to control resource handling.
Other changes:
* The desired effect on show/hide is explicitly stored in
MetaWindow, avoiding the need for the was_minimized flag.
At idle, once we calculate the window state, we pass the
effect to the compositor if it matches the new window
state, and then clear the effect to start over for future
map state changes.
* meta_compositor_switch_workspace() is called before any windows
are hidden or shown, allowing the compositor to avoid hiding
or showing an effect for windows involved in the switch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582341
* Handling of post-effect cleanups for MutterWindow are
simplified - instead of trying to do different things based
on the individual needs of different effects, we just wait until
all effects complete and sync the window state to what it
should be.
* On unmap, once we destroy the pixmap, we tell ClutterX11Pixmap
that we've done so, so it can clean up and unbind. (The
unbinding doesn't seem to be working properly because of
ClutterGLXPixmap or video driver issues.)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587251
Mutter is a Clutter-based compositing manager. So, remove the code for
the XRender-based compositor, and make it mandatory to have XComposite,
XRender and Clutter.
Run-time support for non-composited operation is left for now.

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.
Make meta_window_get_icon_geometry() public, so that it can be used
to from plugins to animate windows minimizing to the correct

The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.
Make MetaWindow into a GObject so that it is accessible to
gobject-introspection (also allows for signals to be added.)
Renames:
meta_window_free() => meta_window_unmanage()
meta_window_get_type() => meta_window_get_window_type()
meta_window_get_type_atom() => meta_window_get_window_type_atom()
We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.
missing files in preview commit (TODO: rebase -i and squash this later)
ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).
