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.

Add a preference /apps/mutter/general/attach_modal_dialogs. When true, instead
of having independent titlebars, modal dialogs appear attached to the titlebar
of the parent window and are moved together with the parent window.

Cleanly build with --warn-fatal. Implementation:
* Liberally apply (skip) where the API is clearly C only, e.g. uses
XLib. The theming code and MutterPlugin are skipped too.
* Add missing (transfer) and (element-type) annotations
For a few functions that had a comment, I turned it into gtk-doc, but
I didn't (with a few exceptions) try to write new documentation in
this pass.
Export a boxed type for MetaRectangle; this is mostly of interest
because GdkRectangle has been turned into a typedef for
cairo_rectangle_int_t which causes massive problems for using it from
gobject-introspection based language bindings.

The current effect API passes an unnecessary list of windows to
switch_workspace() and forces a window to be passed in when killing
the switch_workspace() effect.
We can simplify the interface to correspond more closely to how
it is actually used and fix these problems:
Remove the actors parameter to plugin->switch_workspace
Remove the events parameter to plugin->kill_effect and rename it to kill_window_effects
Add plugin->kill_switch_workspace
Remove mutter_plugin_manager_kill_effect
Add mutter_plugin_manager_kill_window_effects
Add mutter_plugin_manager_kill_switch_workspace
Remove mutter_plugin_effect_completed
Add mutter_plugin_[minimize/map/destroy/maximize/unmaximize]_completed

It's useful for plugins to be able to easily detect whether
or not a window is from a remote host. Also, make use of this
in the window delete codepath, instead of looking up the hostname
each time.

While debugging a focus problem, I noticed that Mutter had exactly
the debug statements I wanted under the META_DEBUG_FOCUS topic.
However, calling meta_set_verbose (true) results in enormous amounts
of other messages, and it's inconvenient to filter after having
started mutter.
This patch allows one to call Meta.add_debug_topic(Meta.DebugTopic.FOCUS)
from a console, and get just what one wants.

This function returns xid of the WM leader window (as defined by the
_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK mechanism of EWMH). For use by plugins that wish to
attach custom properties to this window.

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.

Allow a plugin to redirect preferences from one GConf location
to another GConf location. This is useful for keys that need to be
set differently in a plugin-managed environment (like GNOME Shell)
as compared to in standalone Metacity.
Overriding is implemented by overwriting the keys in the arrays
of preferences; a list of the current overrides is stored to allow
proper memory management when an override is itself overriden.
(we need to know whether to free the old keys or not)
This patch cleans up the comments in prefs.c a bit as well; some ideas
about less-exciting potential improvements were removed to make the
comments explaining the structure easier to figure out.

Rather than using the plugin objects constructed() method for doing
setup that requires the MetaScreen, add an explicit start() method
that is called after the screen is set.
The reason for this is that this allows plugin objects to be created
early before the bulk of Metacity setup, which then allows plugins
to affect how the setup happens. (For example, to change the way
that preferences are loaded.)
This is an incompatible change, since 'screen' is now not set in the
constructed method, so the plugin API version is bumped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615586
It makes more sense because the grave key is close
to the tab and escape keys which the other cycle
keybindings use.
This always works better for gnome-shell, which
switchings between applications by default with alt-tab.
The user can now alt-tab to the application they want,
and then move their finger to the grave key to select
the window they want.
The commit that removed metacity-dialog added a global SIGCHLD handler
that caused problems by (a) calling waitpid(-1) and thus breaking
g_child_watch for everyone else, and (b) doing too much from a signal
handler and sometimes causing deadlocks (bug 596200).
This removes the global handler and has each zenity user create its
own child watch to watch for exit. (It also fixes the window class of
the zenity dialogs, so that meta_window_present_delete_dialog() will
work again.)
There was a problem where if, for example, a restack was triggered
out of a clutter event handler, then after Clutter processed the
events, it would proceed immmediately on to repaint the stage without
ever returning control to the GLib main loop. So even though we
had an idle handler installed with a higher priority than the
Clutter stage repainting the clutter stage repainting would happen
first and we'd get a wrong frame.
Fix this by introducing the idea of "later functions", which abstract
the idea of "doing something later" away from g_idle_add() and use
a combination of GLib idle functions and Clutter "repaint functions"
to get our callbacks triggered at the right time, even when they
are installed from a clutter event handler.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596334
This also resolve a FIXME where MUTTER_PRIORITY_BEFORE_REDRAW
could starve stage repainting.
We need a way to indicate to gnome-control-center that we want the
keybindings capplet to show the Window Manager keybindings for Metacity;
do this through a _GNOME_WM_KEYBINDING property we put on the
_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK window and set to Mutter,Metacity.
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594066 for the
gnome-control-center part of this.

The changes to enforce single handling of all key events were breaking
custom-alt-tab keypress handlers, since that code was assuming that
key event would get to process_tab_grab(), and then maybe to
process_event() and then to the plugin's xevent_filter to detect a
key release.
We centeralize all of this handling into process_tab_grab() and either
- Invoke a custom handler for the key press
- Select the current window on modifier release by calling a new
pseudo-binding "tab_popup_select"
- Cancel the grab on an unbound key by calling a new pseudo-binding
"tab_popup_cancel"

mutter_plugin_begin_modal() and mutter_plugin_begin_modal() allow putting
a plugin into a "modal" state. This means:
- The plugin has the keyboard and mouse grabbed
- All keyboard and mouse events go exclusively to the plugin
mutter-plugin.[ch]: Add public API
compositor.c compositor-private.h: Implement the API
mutter-plugin-manager.c: When reloading plugins, make sure none of them
are modal at that moment, and if so force-unmodal them.
common.h: Add META_GRAB_OP_COMPOSITOR
display: When display->grab_op is META_GRAB_OP_COMPOSITOR forward relevant
events exclusively to the compositor.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590754
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.
The functionality to propagate errors for other displays to other
a "foreign error handler" was Soeren's compositor and is no longer
being used. Remove it.
(Now that error.h is being installed and scanned, we need to either
do this or add XErrorEvent to xlib-2.0.gir and rename ErrorHandler
to MetaErrorHandler. This way is a bit simpler.)
It's useful for plugins to be able to get access to the
startup-notification data that Mutter already has. Add
an accessor and change signal when recieve an event.
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.)

Add a paint function that checks all windows for repair and
shape updates; this:
- simplifies the logic for when a window needs to be repaired
- avoids duplicate work when we get multiple damage effects
- avoids the need to look ahead in the event queue
Instead of relying on repair to implicitly resize the
MutterWindow actor, set the size explicitly when the core
code updates the geometry. (This is needed because we haven't
repaired yet when we start an animation, and the animation
may depend on the size to, e.g., rescale from the center.)
Because the core geometry update happens before we start
maximize/unmaximize effects we need to work around this by
passing both the old and new geometry to the compositor.
