The way code was structured made it easy to misunderstand things as the
surface actor of a window actor could change over time. So is not the
case, however, the intention of the corresponding "update" function was
so that a surface actor could be assigned to a window actor as soon as
the X11 window was associated with its corresponding wl_surface, if the
window in question came from Xwayland.
Restructure the code and internal API a bit to make it clear that a
window actor only once gets a surface actor assigned to it, and that it
after that point never changes.

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/420
This function was added for historic reasons, before that we had GSlist's
free_full function.
Since this can be now easily implemented with a function call and an explicit
GDestroyFunc, while no known dependency uses it let's move to use
g_slist_free_func instead.

Meson 0.50.0 made passing an absolute path to install_headers()'

Shell is using these, which was revealed by
1bbb5c8107 breaking its build when
generating its introspection due to meta_startup_notification_get_type()
not being found.
We keep the class structs private, so in practice MetaStartupSequence
and MetaBackend can't be derived from (the are semi-private).
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/395
MonitorManager was inheriting from MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton, this was
causing introspection to see this like a GDBus skeleton object exposing to
clients methods that were not required.
Also, this required us to export meta_dbus_* symbols to the library, while
these should be actually private.
So, make MetaMonitorManager to be just a simple GObject holding a skeleton
instance, and connect to its signals reusing most of the code with just few
minor changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/395
Some types were declared in the public headers so that g-ir-scanner
could resolve the types. This caused warnings when using
-Wredundant-decls, so only redeclare them for the gir scanner.
This is a GAppLaunchContext subclass meant to replace usage of
GdkAppLaunchContext in gnome-shell.
Launch contexts get created from the MetaStartupNotification as
they are closely related. The messaging underneath depends on
the availability of a X11 display, if there is one we go through
it (and libsn). If there is none, we still create startup sequences
manually for wayland clients.
This is a simple libcanberra abstraction object, so we are able
to play file/theme sounds without poking into GTK+/X11. Play
requests are delegated to a separate thread, so we don't block
UI on cards that are slow to wake up from power saving.
We will introduce specialized MetaWindowActors for X11
and Wayland in the future, so it needs to be derivable.
Make it a derivable class, and introduce a private field.
The MetaWindowActorClass definition is in the private
header in order to prevent external consumers of Mutter
to create MetaWindowActor implementations of their own.
That is, MetaWindowActor is only internally derivable.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/368
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/221
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
Following up last commit, this commit adds a CoglFramebuffer
argument to meta_shadow_paint(), and stops using the draw
framebuffer internally.
The only consumer of this API, MetaWindowActor, still passes
the draw framebuffer though.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
It'll be installed in the meta/ directory, so put the template files in
the corresponding directory in the tarball. This will also simplify the
port to meson.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
Thanks to G_DEFINE_DYNAMIC_TYPE_EXTENDED(), this is a trivial addition that
will allow using G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC() or G_ADD_PRIVATE_DYNAMIC()
when declaring a plugin.

Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
If we wait with opening the X11 window decoration GDK connection, we
might end up with a terminated X11 server before we finish
initializing, depending on the things happening after spawning Xwayland
and before opening the MetaX11Dispaly. In gnome-shell, this involves
e.g. creating a couple of temporary X11 connections, and on disconnect,
if they happen to be the last client, the X server will terminate
itself.

Split X11 specific parts into MetaX11Display. This also required
changing MetaScreen to stop listening to any signals by itself, but

redundant MetaDisplay(prev MetaScreen)::monitors-changed.

While MetaStage, MetaWindowGroup and MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton don't
appear explicitly in the public API, their gtypes are still exposed via

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

This will allows us to support the XF86Display key present on some
laptops, directly in mutter. This is also known, in evdev, as
KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE.

standardized. As an example, Lenovo documents it as:
"Switches the display output location between the computer display
and an external monitor."

GNOME Shell's window matching currently fails frequently with Flatpak
applications, as one of the primary hints used to link windows with
.desktop files - the WM_CLASS - no longer matches when flatpak renames
the exported .desktop file. Luckily, Flatpak provides us with a fail-safe
way to map from the PID to the corresponding application ID, so expose an
appropriate method that allows GNOME Shell to reliably match windows to
the corresponding Flatpak app.

There may be external/compositor-specific reasons to trigger the
pad OSD. Expose this call so the pad OSD can be triggered looking
up the right settings, monitor, etc...
This API will be used from the gnome-shell pad OSD implementation, in order
to show the actions that currently apply to every button/ring/strip in the
tablet.
They are already effectively interchangeable so this should reduce
pointless casts.
Just like in GDK though, we need to keep the old definition for
instrospection to be able to include the struct's fields.
This layer isn't really being used and in fact, it causes
meta_stack_get_default_focus_window() to return a fullscreen window
even if the naturally topmost window in the stack isn't a fullscreen
one.

we choose the default focus window from the MRU to the topmost in the

The new tiling code, instead of based around "tiling states", is instead
based around constrained edges. This allows us to have windows that have
three constrained edges, but keep one free-floating, e.g. a window tiled
to the left has the left, top, and bottom edges constrained, but the
right edge can be left resizable.
This system also is easily extended to support corner tiling. We also,
using the new "size state" system, also keep normal, tiled, and
maximized sizes independently, allowing the maximize button to bounce
between maximized and tiled states without reverting to normal in
between. Dragging from the top will always restore the normal state,
though.

We have been ignoring those buttons since 3.16 after they had been
broken in the default theme for a couple of versions. As nobody
appears to miss them, it's time to remove them for good.
The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
A much less hacky version of maximize / unmaximize is reimplemented
in terms of this, but it could also eventually be used for fullscreen /
unfullscreen, and tile / untile.
The existing private get_monitor_neighbor() function returns a
MetaMonitorInfo, which is private as well. Add a public wrapper

Although not strictly a window group... This ClutterActor is
meant to stay always on top, and only show non-reactive actors
created by Mutter itself. Two possible usecases for this layer
are DnD surfaces, and touch spots.
We might also want to move cursors out of an overlay in MetaStage
into here at some point.
Make the vignette options properties so they can be animated;

The old requirement that multiple MetaBackgroundActor objects be
layered on top of each to produce blended backgrounds resulted in
extremely inefficient drawing since the entire framebuffer had
to be read and written multiple times.
* Replace the MetaBackground ClutterContent with a plain GObject
that serves to hold the background parameters and prerender
textures to be used to draw the background. It handles
colors, gradients, and blended images, but does not handle
vignetting
* Add vignetting to MetaBackgroundActor directly.
* Add MetaBackgroundImage and MetaBackgroundImageCache to allow
multiple MetaBackground objects to share the same images
By removing the usage of ClutterContent, the following optimizations
were easy to add:
Blending is turned off when the actor is fully opaque
Nearest-neighbour filtering is used when drawing 1:1
The GLSL vignette code is slightly improved to use a vertex shader
snippet for computing the texture coordinate => position in actor
mapping.

This was the original intention, but it was thought to be easier
to mark this as a combination of all directions. It turned out to
instead cause subtle bugs since code that blindly checked & DIR_WEST or
similar turned out to get it wrong when it was UNKNOWN, so just make
it an explicit flag.
This fixes the cursor appearing in the wrong place when starting a
keyboard resize.
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.

This will be used to replace some of the hooks that are used to call
into window.c, so that the workspace index property is properly kept up
to date.
We can't name the property "index" since it causes conflicts with the
meta_workspace_index method. This should really be called
meta_workspace_get_index, but oh well.
MetaGrabOp is painful and tedious to work with, because it's a
sequential series of values, meaning we have to use a giant unreadable
switch statement to figure out some basic things about the value.
To solve this, modify the encoding for MetaGrabOp and for the specific
window grab operations so that they're a set of bitflags that we can
easily check.
This allows creating the stage much earlier than it otherwise would have
been. Our initialization sequence has always been a bit haphazard, with
first the MetaBackend created, then the MetaDisplay, and inside of that,
the MetaScreen and MetaCompositor.
Refactor this out so that the MetaBackend creates the Clutter
stage. Besides the clarity of early initialization, we now have much
easier access to the stage, allowing us to use it for things such as
key focus and beyond.
This function tells the obvious on X11, and implements a similar mechanism

The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also

meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart

meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.

With get_input_region existing, get_input_rect is a misnomer. Really,
it's about the geometry of the output surface, and it's only used that
way in the compositor code.
Way back when in GNOME 3.2, get_input_rect was added when we added
invisible borders. get_outer_rect was always synonymous with server-side
geometry of the toplevel. get_outer_rect was used for both user-side
policy (the "frame rect") and to get the geometry of the window.
Invisible borders were meant to extend the input region of the frame
window silently. Since most users of get_outer_rect cared about the
frame rect, we kept that the same and added a new method, get_input_rect
to get the full rect of the framed window with all invisible borders for
input kept on.
As time went on and CSD and Wayland became a reality, the relationship
between the server-side geometry and the "frame rect" became more
complicated, as can be evidenced by the recent commits. Since clients
don't tend to be framed anymore, they set their own input region.
get_buffer_rect is also sort of a poor name, since X11 doesn't really
have buffers, but we don't really have many other alternatives.
This doesn't change any of the code, nor the meaning. It will always
refer to the rectangle where the toplevel should be placed.
Avoid populating *_VERSION constants through cflags in pkg-config-file
which could be overridden by the project using it. Properly prefix the
defines with META_ to make gi-scanner happy.
