Add "edid-file", if we have one (in the KMS case, where we can point
people to the right sysfs file), or "edid" with inline data.
These are needed by colord to build the default ICC profile for

Instead of keeping a forest of if backend else ..., use a subclass
and virtual functions to discriminate between XRandR and the

We want to show a dialog when a display change happens from the
control center. To do so, add a new vfunc to MetaPlugin and
call it when a configuration change is requested via DBus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Add GetCrtcGamma() and SetCrtcGamma(), that wrap the similarly
named XRandR API. These are used by GnomeRR inside the color
plugin of the control center (and may go away if the color
plugin decides to do something different under wayland)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
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
the full display configuration every time the user presses the
backlight keys.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
The default configuration is extended, which is only possible
if there are as many CRTCs as outputs, so make sure that's true.
Also, add more and bigger modes, so that different sizes will
be chosen for the three outputs.
A nice side effect of this is that with a real 1920x1080 + 1600x900
layout, if you disable the VGA you get a stage that matches the
screen size, which triggers the legacy fullscreen path in the
outside mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Use a private output property to store if the output is in
presentation mode or not, so that this information is not lost

Ripped off libgnome-desktop, trimming the parts that checked

Add a new object, MetaMonitorConfig, that takes care of converting

Read the current transform from XRandR, and expose the transforms
that are really supported on the bus.
The dummy backend now advertises all transforms, since it doesn't
actually apply them.

Instead of a full white background, make one with a random color.
This way the different "monitors" are visible and it's easier

Add a number of dummy outputs and modes to the dummy backend,
and implement the writing bits.
The only visible effect is that you can change the screen size,
which resizes the output window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Now MonitorManager does its own handling of XRandR events, which
means we no longer handle ConfigureNotify on the root window.
MetaScreen reacts to MonitorManager::monitor-changed and updates
its internal state, including the new size.
This paves the way for doing display configuration using only
the dummy backend, which would allow testing wl_output interfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Implement ApplyConfiguration in terms of XRandR calls.
Error checking is done before actually committing the configuration.
If mutter is using one of the other monitor config backends, an
error is reported and nothing happens.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Turns out that even if two outputs say that they can be controlled
by a given CRTC, you can't configure them in the same CRTC unless
they are marked as "possible clones" one of the other.
This can further restrict the configuration options, so we need
to expose this limitation in the DBus API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
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
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.

We need to use g_signal_connect_object(), rather than g_signal_connect(),
because the window actor can be destroyed before the window emits
the final notify::appears-focused inside unmanage, if the plugin
decides that it doesn't want to animate the destruction (which
happens with dialogs and the default plugin)

GNOME Shell's actors aren't touch capable, so we need to make sure that

Originally attached dialogs did not have a titlebar, which the code
still assumes though it hasn't been true for a while; nowadays, the
actual look of attached dialogs is controlled by the theme.
As GTK+ recently gained the ability to set custom titlebars, we need
to support attached dialogs with either full borders (WM decorations)
or border-only (GTK+ titlebar).
Just remove the left-over assumption to make it work as expected.

We need to update window->monitor on override_redirect windows as well, other

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702564
Avoid a round trip to the xserver we already have the current position
anyway. Querying from the server on every move can cause the compositor to
stall during movement.
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 substract one from the unredirect counter when enable_unredirect_for_screen
gets called. It is an unsigned integer so substracting one from zero (which means enable) would overflow and thus keep it peramently enabled.
This should never happen because it means there is an unmatched
enable / disable pair somewhere. So in addition to fixing it add a
warning when this case gets triggered.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701224
Commit 4f2bb583bf changed things so that the compositor used
clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full (CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT
to get after-paint notification and send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, but this
doesn't actually work, since Clutter will already have blocked for
VBlank before calling post-paint functions.
The result is that frame synced toolkits like GTK 3.8 will normally
only be able to draw every other frame.
Since ::paint doesn't work either, a new function
clutter_stage_set_paint_callback() has been added to Clutter
(and will be included in the 1.14 branch)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698794
We have no need for normally reported events during grabs. In fact, it
might be harmful. A plugin might grab the keyboard through
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and then expect events to be reported to
the grab window they provide. If meanwhile this XIGrabDevice is
issued, events might start being reported normally to one other of our
windows breaking the plugin event processing.
In particular, on an empty workspace, we set input focus to our
no_focus_window. Then, if gnome-shell calls
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and meta_display_freeze_keyboard(), in
that order, input events will start being reported to no_focus_window.
There are two issues with this. One is that no_focus_window isn't
selecting for XI input events and thus the server discards them
completely. But even if that is fixed, events being reported to any
window other than the one gnome-shell expects - the clutter stage
window - means that events will stop reaching it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701219
This will make it possible to implement input source switching in
gnome-shell using the popular modifiers-only keybinding that's
implemented on the X server through an XKB option.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697002
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
If a binding is updated with a clear set of strokes (effectively
disabling it) we aren't signaling that the binding changed and thus
the previous strokes will continue to be grabbed.
This fixes that and tries to do a better effort at checking if the
binding changed or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697000
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
If an app pops up an OR window and sets input focus to it, like
Steam does, we'll think the focus window is null, causing us to
think the app is not focused.
OR windows should not be special if they get input focus, where
the input focus would be set to NULL. Instead, the window should
be marked as focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
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

Make it a static function for now, but this will be a private

Clients using _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE to start a drag operation may encounter
a race condition if the user presses and releases a mouse button very
fast, getting "stuck" in a grab state. While this is easily fixed with
the user pressing the button or hitting Escape as the EWMH spec suggests,
its's still a bit of annoyance for users.
After starting a grab operation, check that the button is actually pressed
by the client, and if not, cancel the grab operation. This prevents the
stuck grab in a race-free way, although it requires an extra round-trip
to the server.
With client-side decorations becoming more popular, the use of
_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE is on the rise, thus this bug is seen more frequently
than before.

As we only had one string-array preference so far, we didn't bother

This essentially just moves install_corners() from the compositor, through
the core, into the UI layer where it arguably should have been anyway,
leaving behind stub functions which call through the various layers. This
removes the compositor's special knowledge of how rounded corners work,
replacing it with "ask the UI for an alpha mask".
The computation of border widths and heights changes a bit, because the
width and height used in install_corners() are the
meta_window_get_outer_rect() (which includes the visible borders but not
the invisible ones), whereas the more readily-available rectangle is the
MetaFrame.rect (which includes both). Computing the same width and height
as meta_window_get_outer_rect() involves compensating for the invisible
borders, but the UI layer is the authority on those anyway, so it seems
clearer to have it do the calculations from scratch.

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

During resizing we froze window updates when configuring the

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

mutter currently only filters the overlay key through the shell

meta_window_is_remote compares a cached copy of the system hostname

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.
