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
that returns a monitor index instead, as we do for other public
monitor-related methods.

This just exposes the type and the singleton getter necessary to make
it available to introspection. We'll expose more functionality as it
becomes needed.

Rest in peace you magnificent format, love-child of arcane X11 drawing

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;
modify the function-call API for meta_background_actor_set_vignette()
to correspond more closely to the 3 properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735637
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735637
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732385
MetaKeyBinding can be marked as being reversed
(META_KEY_BINDING_IS_REVERSED), but MetaKeyHandlerFunc callbacks
cannot check whether this flag was set or not on the MetaKeyBinding
which triggered the callback.

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
on wayland to determine the "pointer emulating" sequence, or one to stick
with when implementing single-touch behavior.

The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
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
itself.
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733026
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.
When opening the window menu without an associated control - e.g.
by right-clicking the titlebar or by keyboard - using coordinates
for the menu position is appropriate. However when the menu is
associated with a window button, the expected behavior in the
shell can be implemented much easier with the full button geometry:
the menu will point to the center of the button's bottom edge
rather than align to the left/right side of the titlebar as it
does now, and the clickable area where a release event does not
dismiss the menu will match the actual clickable area in mutter.
So add an additional show_window_menu_for_rect() function and
use it when opening the menu from a button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731058
The last commit added support for the "appmenu" button in decorations,
but didn't actually implement it. Add a new MetaWindowMenuType parameter
to the show_window_menu () functions and use it to ask the compositor
to display the app menu when the new button is activated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730752
We want to synchronize the button layouts of our server side
decorations and GTK+'s client side ones. However each currently
may contain buttons not supported by the other, which makes this
unnecessarily tricky.
So add support for a new "appmenu" button in the layout, to display
the fallback app menu in the decorations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730752
It looks weird to have Alt+Space pop up under the cursor instead
of the top-left corner of the window, and the Wayland request will
pass through the coordinates as well.
Add it to the compositor interface, and extend the
_GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU ClientMessage to support it as well.
Grab operations are now always taken on the backend connection, and
this breaks GTK+'s event handling.
Instead of taking a grab op, just do the handling ourselves. The
GTK+ connection will get an implicit grab, which means pointer /
keyboard events won't be sent to the rest of mutter, which is good.
Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
We previously separated out MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. mutter
would only manage one screen, but we still kept a list of screens
for simplicity.
With Wayland support, we no longer care about the ability to
manage more than one screen at a time. Remove this by killing
the list of screens, in favor of having just one MetaScreen
in MetaDisplay.
We also kill off active_screen at the same time, since it's
not necessary anymore.
A future cleanup should merge MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. To avoid
breaking API, we should probably keep MetaScreen around as a dummy
type.
Which is used for Wayland popup grabs.
The issue here is that we don't want the code that raises or focuses
windows based on mouse ops to run while a client has a grab.
We still keep the "old" grab infrastructure in place for now, but
ideally we'd replace it eventually with a better grab-op infrastructure.
... and individually. It turns out that updating the opaque region
was causing the shape region to be updated, which was causing a new
shape mask to be generated and uploaded to the GPU. Considering
GTK+ regenerates the opaque region on pretty much any focus change,
this is not good.
We need a MetaWaylandSurface to build a MetaSurfaceActor, but
we don't have one until we get the set_window_xid() call from
XWayland. On the other hand, plugins expect to see the window
actor right from when the window is created, so we need this
empty state.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
The input region was set on the shaped texture, but the shaped texture
was never picked properly, as it was never set to be reactive. Move the
pick implementation and reactivity to the MetaSurfaceActor, and update
the code everywhere else to expect a MetaSurfaceActor.
Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

We no longer unmap the toplevel windows during normal operation. The

Currently the only way to move a window to another monitor via
keyboard is to start a move operation and move it manually using
arrow keys. We do have all the bits of a dedicated keybinding in
place already, so offer it as a more comfortable alternative.

Make MetaWindowActor chain up to the generic default MetaCullable
implementation, and remove the helper methods for MetaSurfaceActor
and MetaShapedTexture.
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.

When X clients change the keyboard map, the also update a property
on the root window. We can notice that and rebuild our data structures
with the new values, as well as inform the wayland clients.
This is a terrible hack, and it's not how we want to implement things
in 3.12, but it's enough to have the same keyboard layout in the
shell, in X clients and in wayland clients in 3.10, until we decide
on the fate of the keyboard g-s-d plugin.

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library

When we get a damage event we update the window by calling
meta_shaped_texture_update_area which queues a redraw on the actor.
We can avoid that for obscured regions by comparing the damage area to
our visible area.

When drawing entirely opaque regions, we traditionally kept blending on
simply because it made the code more convenient and obvious to handle.
However, this can cause lots of performance issues on GPUs that aren't
too powerful, as they have to readback the buffer underneath.
Keep track of the opaque region set by windows (through _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION,
Wayland opaque_region hints, standard RGB32 frame masks or similar), and draw
those rectangles separately through a different path with blending turned off.

Remove grab window and cursor from the API, and just grab always

Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

GnomeRR needs that too.
The backlight is exported as a normalized 0-100 value, or -1 if not
supported. Clamping to HW limits is handled by the backend.
Changing backlight uses a different method call, to avoid recomputing

backlight keys.

This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)
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.

This adds a --nested option to request that mutter no longer run as a
classic X compositor with an output window mapped on the X Composite
Overlay Window and also not assume it is running directly under X.
The intention is that in this mode Mutter will itself launch a headless
X server and display output will be handled by Clutter and Cogl. This
will enable running Mutter nested as an application within an X session.
This patch introduces an internal meta_is_wayland_compositor() function
as a means to condition the way mutter operates when running as a
traditional X compositor vs running as a wayland compositor where the
compositor and display server are combined into a single process.
Later we also expect to add a --kms option as another way of enabling
this wayland compositor mode that will assume full control of the
display hardware instead of running as a nested application.
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.
Add new api (meta_screen_get_current_monitor_for_pos and
meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info_for_pos) that allow querying the monitor
without a roundtrip by reusing the passed in cursor position.
gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
When we set the input focus, we first set the predicted window,
and then try to process focus events. But as XI_FocusOut on the
existing window comes before XI_FocusIn on the new window, we'll
see the focus out on the old window and think the focus is going
to nothing, which makes mutter think the prediction failed.
This didn't really matter as nothing paid attention to the focus
window changing, but with gnome-shell's focus rework, we'll try
and drop keyboard focus in events like these.
Fix this by making sure that we ignore focus window changes of our
own cause when updating the focus window field, by ignoring all
focus events that have a serial the same as the focus request or
lower. Note that if mutter doens't make any requests after the
focus request, this could be racy, as another client could steal
the focus, but mutter would ignore it as the serial was the same.
Bump the serial by making a dummy ChangeProperty request to a
mutter-controlled window in this case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701017
We'll use this in gnome-shell to freeze the keyboard right before
switching input source and unfreeze it after that's finished so that
we don't lose any key events to the wrong input source.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697001
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.

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).

Trying to track the fullscreen status outside of Mutter, as GNOME Shell
was doing previously, was very prone to errors, because Mutter has a
very tricky definition of when a window is set to be fullscreen and
*actually* acting like a fullscreen window.
* Add meta_screen_get_monitor_in_fullscreen() and an
::in-fullscreen-changed signal. This allows an application to
track when there are fullscreen windows on a monitor.
* Do the computation of fullscreen status in a "later" function that
runs after showing, so we properly take focus into account.
* To get ordering of different phases right, add more values
to MetaLaterType.
* Add auto-minimization, similar to what was added to GNOME Shell
earlier in this cycle - if a window is set to be fullscreen, but
not actually fullscreen, minimize.

gnome-shell shouldn't announce to the session manager it's
"ready" until it's fully initialized. It currently tells
the session manager it's ready as soon as it hits the main
loop. This causes nautilus in classic mode to start before
we have workspaces initialized.

During compositor grabs, all global keybindings that don't go
through mutter's keybinding system are blocked. To allow other
processes to make use of it, gnome-shell will expose a simple
grab API on DBus; for this, add API to grab key combos directly
instead of parsing accelerators stored in GSettings.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.

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.

Put override redirect windows such as menus into a separate window group
stacked above everything else. This will allow us to visually put these
above other compositior chrome.
Based on a patch from Muffin.

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.
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.

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.

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677215
Currently, we have a few function wrappers in the shell for pointer
barriers. If we want to implement interactive features on barriers,
we need some sort of signal to be notified of the interactivity.
In that case, we need to make a more sophisticated object-based wrapper
for a pointer barrier. Add one, and stick it in mutter.

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.

Using a public method for setting the (cached) icon geometry rather
than accessing the struct members directly allows setting the icon
geometry from extensions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692997
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
Add meta_window_check_alive(), which is a simple wrapper over
meta_display_ping_window(), and takes care of showing the "Application
is not responding dialog" if needed.

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.

Since we want nice alt-tab applications for gnome-shell, we should up the
limit to 96. In the future, we probably want to get rid of the icon-cache,
and allow looking up a correctly sized icon directly from the window.
To prevent app breakage, set the legacy WM_HINTS pixmap size directly to
32x32.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689651
Add an additional "switcher" keybinding for switching between
applications rather than windows (like the existing 'switch-windows'
and 'switch-group' bindings).
The purpose of the new keybinding is to be taken over by gnome-shell's
application-based alt-tab popup, so rather than actually implementing
an application switcher in mutter, let it duplicate the normal window
switcher when run standalone.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688913
Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).
Instead, provide a hook to allow the compositor to filter out keybindings
before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
Using ClutterEffect is not pratical on MetaBackgroundActor, as the FBO
redirection has a noticeable performance impact. Instead, allow adding
GLSL code directly to the pipeline used to draw the background texture.
At the same time, port MetaBackgroundActor to modern Cogl API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669798
Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
moving.

Add a type annotation on the xevent_filter vfunc. This is sufficient
to remove the skip annotation on MetaPlugin and MetaPluginClass
without triggering scan errors.

As plugins can now define their own keyboard shortcuts via
meta_display_add_keybinding(), it makes sense for them to
expose those shortcuts to System Settings, so add some API
to set the properties gnome-control-center uses to pick up
wm keybinding settings.

Similar to meta_screen_get_primary_monitor, this returns a monitor index.
The monitor that the pointer is on. The previous private implementation
has been renamed to meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info.

The "multiple plugins loaded at once" strategy was always a big fiction:
while it may be viable if you're super careful, it's fragile and requires
a bit of infrastructure that we would be better off without.
Note that for simplicity, we're keeping the MetaPluginManager, but it only
manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676855
We already check that the plugin has the appropriate vfunc in the klass
structure, so we shouldn't need to check for the same data again with
a "features" long.

We may not show the backtrace, but it's prohibitly expensive to generate,
so don't. If someone wants a backtrace they can use the appropriate G_DEBUG
environment variable plus GDB.

This effectively makes MetaShapedTexture not a MetaShapedTexture, but a simple
and dumb MetaMaskedTexture, with an optimization for clipped regions.
We're doing this as the mask may need to be more complicated than made of
a cairo path -- we eventually want GTK+ to draw the entire frame background,
which we'll then scan.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
As we want GTK+ to paint the mask on an A8, we can't simply use a cairo
path. A later commit will make this into a simple masked texture, and
meta-window-actor will be in control of the mask.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
The concept of a clip region doesn't make sense now that we have anti-aliased
corners and a full alpha channel. Once the theme transition is complete,
creating a preview image with an alpha channel will be possible by passing
an ARGB surface to gtk_widget_draw(preview_widget, ...);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
If we want to support keybindings from extensions installed in the user's
directory, we can't take a schema, as the GSettings object needs to have
a special GSettingsSchemaSource.

This is a new value, not associated with any keybindings, useful
when the WM needs to order the applications by last-interaction,
taking into account all windows.

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
Some modifiers like NumLock and ScrollLock don't make sense in
keybindings, which is why we ignore them when matching keybindings
to events. We should do the same in Javascript, so add an accessor
function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665215
We currently sync the number of workspaces with the corresponding
preference. This is not really useful with GNOME Shell's dynamic
handling of workspaces, not least as the setting is effectively
ignored. Worse, it will trigger writes to dconf on login, slowing
down startup, so add a setting to indicate that workspaces are managed
dynamically and really ignore the num-workspaces setting when set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671568
Mutter originally started out with the idea that only a subset of the total
API was exposed to plugins, so some APIs are duplicated on MutterPlugin.
We've long since abandoned that idea; remove these wrappers.

When we were shaping the window with a cairo region, there was an easy
optimization to restrict painting only to the pixels we were going to
actually draw. With rounded corners, the amount of work we have to do
figure out what pixels isn't worth the small savings of not drawing the
completely transparent parts of the corners, so remove this optimization,
and the supporting meta_shaped_texture_get_visible_pixels_region()
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657639
ClutterTexture has many features that we simply don't use and don't make
sense for a subclass with custom drawing. Deriving directly from ClutterActor
simplifies our code by avoiding workarounds and makes things more robust.
Additionally, make it public. GNOME Shell was already assuming that any
MetaShapedTexture was also a ClutterTexture, and we need to replace these
bits with new API for GNOME Shell to use.
