We currently offer the mechanism for GNOME Shell to implement, and
while this is not exercised often (our entries are typically surrounded
by a ClutterGrab ensuring key events, so this is reserved to grab-less
entries, probably there are some in extensions), this is arguably
something Mutter should cover by itself without GNOME Shell guidance.
This is only necessary on the X11 backend, although it is conceptually
more tied to the MetaX11Display connection, so perform the focus
tracking there only if not running as a Wayland compositor (i.e. --x11).
This avoids the only case where the low-level
meta_x11_display_set_input_focus_xwindow() function is used, or rather
makes it completely a MetaX11Display implementation detail, leaving
only the MetaDisplay API as the high-level entry points to handle
window key focus.
The public API that allowed GNOME Shell to implement these mechanisms
is also gone in this commit.

This is similar, but reserved for the crossing events induced by the
input shape changes on our overlay window. The mechanism in the previous
commit does again protect against this, so this mechanism may go away.

Focus follows mouse is meant to avoid focusing windows that happened
to pop up under the pointer, e.g. due to mapping, workspace changes,
etc... On X11, this has been done since ancient times through a
moderately complex synchronization mechanism, so mutter would know
to ignore crossing events caused on those situations.
This mechanism is much prior to XInput 2 though, where we may know
this in a more straightforward way: If the sourceid of the crossing
event is a logical pointer (i.e. equals deviceid), the crossing event
was triggered logically, and not through user input.
Perform this simpler check, and drop the existing mechanism to
ignore logically induced crossing events.

When the X11 display is actually XWayland there's no point to delay the
compositor selection, given that mutter itself is the compositor and
doing this may cause the first X11 client that starts not to receive the
right information (and in some cases misbehave).
Since some toolkits are not handling the compositor selection changes
properly at later times, let's make their life easier by just
initializing the selection as early as the other X11 properties, given
that in this case there's nothing to replace.

When a client (either Wayland or X11) is started, the window activation
will update the cursor to the "busy" cursor.
Mutter will then set the X11 cursor on the X11 root window to match that
so that X11 applications which do not explicitly set a cursor inherit
from that default (busy) cursor.
Updating the X11 cursor too often can hammer the X11 connection and
cause a deadlock with Xwayland.
Reload the X11 cursor in a later handler to avoid that issue.

Do the few remaining things that GDK is doing for us:
- Open and close the X11 Display
- Set up a GSource on the Display FD to handle events
- Allocate and free the content of XGenericEventCookie,
to "unroll" the few XInput2 events that Mutter still
does handle.
And remove the GdkDisplay we've so long relied on.

From reading the comment in the top of the file, not for the first
time. Keep our own error handler and maintain our own list of
failable x11 sequences in MetaX11Display, so we can move away from
GTK's.

This API will be used by GNOME Shell to handle X11 events
in the relevant places, as a substitute to gdk_window_add_filter().
It is ATM still a bit ironic, since the Mutter X11 event handler
is itself a GdkFilterFunc, but it may move away from that eventually.

On X11, the stage itself is backed by an XWindow, and moving the
input focus elsewhere will bypass any Clutter-level grabs.
This effectively allows newly opened windows to steal the focus
from gnome-shell itself, which is clearly undesirable. To prevent
that, only allow moving the X11 focus to a Window when no grab is
in place, just like commit 50e89e376 did for the stage focus.
But particularly the updating of x11_display->focus_xwindow is not
prevented. Since it's more consistent to the MetaDisplay/MetaX11Display
dual focus tracking and across Wayland/X11 backends, ensure the X11
input focus is actually set on the last focus Window after the
grabs are gone and windows became interactable again.

Store the alarms in a different hashtable, and look up the MetaSyncCounter
right away. It so far avoids the MetaWindow middle man, but will also be
simpler when each window can possibly have more than one active alarms.

Replace the in-process implementation of frames with the external
frames client.
When a client window is created and managed by Mutter, Mutter will
determine whether it is a window that requires decorations and
hint the creation of a frame for it by setting the _MUTTER_NEEDS_FRAME
property on the client window.
After the frames client created a window that has the _MUTTER_FRAME_FOR
property, Mutter will proceed to reparent the client window on the
frame window, and show them as a single unit.
Rendering and event handling on the frame window will be performed by
the external client, Mutter is still responsible for everything else,
namely resizing client and frame window in synchronization, and
managing updates on the MetaWindowActor.
In order to let the frame be managed by the external client, Mutter
needs to change the way some properties are forwarded to the client
and/or frame windows. Some properties are necessary to keep propagating
to the client window only, some others need to happen on the frame
window now, and some others needs to be propagated on both so they
are synchronized about the behavior.
Also, some events that were previously totally unexpected in frame
windows are now susceptible to happen, so must be allowed now.
MetaFrame in src/core/frame.c now acts as the wrapper of foreign
windows created by the frames client, from the Mutter side. Location,
size, and lifetime are still largely in control of Mutter, some
details like visible/invisible borders are obtained from the client
instead (through the _MUTTER_FRAME_EXTENTS and _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS
properties, respectively).

Instead of having users of the test client manually deal with alarm
filters, let the test client automatically add itself as filters. This
changes the MetaX11Display a bit, to handle an array of filters instead
of a single filter.

It exposed unnecessary public and private API, and used a global static
variable instead of a return value, none which was necessary. Remove
both API and use a return value for communicating to the caller.
This doesn't remove a public symbol, lets do that for GNOME 44.

Prior to this commit, barriers were created with a MetaDisplay pointer,
despite being entities related and owned by the backend. In the X11
case, it was also not hooked up to the backend X11 connection, but the
clutter one, meaning for example that the logic was active (but dormant)
also for the Xwayland connection.
Fix this by moving X11 barrier management and event processing fully to
the backend. Also replace passing a display pointer with passing a
backend pointer. Keep the display pointer around for a release, but mark
it as deprecated.

Wine destroys its old selection window immediately before creating a new
selection. This would trigger restoring the clipboard, which would
overwrite the new selection with the old one. The selection window
however can also be destroyed as part of the shutdown process of
applications, such as Chromium for example. In those cases we want the
clipboard to be restored after the selection window has been destroyed.
Solve this by not immediately restoring the clipboard but instead using
a timeout which can be canceled by any new selection owner, such as in
the Wine case.

Instead of passing around an X11 Display pointer that is retrieved from
the default Gdk backend, then finding the MetaX11Display from said X11
Display, pass the MetaX11Display directly.

Instead of open coding the X11 focus management in display.c, expose
it as a single function with similar arguments to its MetaDisplay
counterpart. This just means less X11 specifics in display.c.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/751
In all places (including src/wayland) we tap into meta_x11_display* focus
API, which then calls meta_display* API. This relation is backwards, so
rework input focus management so it's the other way around.
We now have high-level meta_display_(un)set_input_focus functions, which
perform the backend-independent maintenance, and calls into the X11
functions where relevant. These functions are what callers should use.

This object takes care of the X11 representation of the window stack,
namely the _NET_CLIENT_LIST and _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING root window
properties.
This code has been lifted from src/core/stack.c into src/x11 as it's
dependent on the X11 display availability. This also leaves MetaStack
squeaky clean of x11 specifics.

This code takes care of both setting up X11 selection sources whenever
X11 clients claim selection ownership, and claiming selection ownership
on a mutter X11 window whenever other selection sources claim ownership.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
This object represents the selection ownership from an X11 client. The
list of supported targets is queried upfront, so its initialization is
asynchronous. Requests to read contents from the selection will hand
a MetaX11SelectionInputStream.

Splitting out the X11 display initialization from display_open() broke
restoring the previously active workspace in two ways:
- when dynamic workspaces are used, the old workspaces haven't
been restored yet, so we stay on the first workspace
- when static workspaces are used, the code tries to access
the compositor that hasn't been initialized yet, resulting
in a segfault
Fix both those issues by splitting out restoring of the active workspace.

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.

Closing a GdkDisplay during an event handler is not currently supported by Gdk
and it will result in a crash when doing e.g. 'mutter --replace'. Using an idle
function will close it safely in a subsequent main loop iteration.
