If we handle a key event then passing it to GTK+ as well can only
cause confusion. Normally GTK+ would do nothing with a key event for
some window it doesn't know about, but plugins might be doing more
things with the GTK+ event queue.

If we are previewing hidden windows, we might be previewing them in a context
like a thumbnail view of a workspace where we care about positioning. So, instead
of waiting until the window is first actually shown to place it, if
live_hidden_previews is set, place the window window when we first compute its
visibility, even if we don't end up showing it.

A plugin that does workspace management on its on may want to set the
workspace layout without having to deal with putting a property
on the root window to be read back and parsed.
Add meta_screen_override_window_layout() that allows the same types
of layouts as _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT but without setting a property.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640552
When we delete a workspace before the active workspace, we need
to upate the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP since the active workspace index
changes. To do this workspace.c:set_active_space_hint() is moved
to screen.c:meta_screen_set_active_workspace_hint() so that it
can be shared.

As the tile preview is shown or hidden when a window is dragged
around, it may stick around if the drag operation is cancelled.
Make sure that the preview is hidden in this case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
Drag operations may be cancelled, in which case the dragged window
should be restored to the position/state it had when the drag was
initialized. In order to do this for tiled states, the original
state has to be saved during the operation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
The previous tiling state of a grabbed window should be restored
if the drag operation is cancelled (by hitting the Escape key).
This might involve to meta_window_tile(), so export the function
in window-private.h.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
We want switching between the windows of an application to be an easily
accessible operation. The convenient and memorable keybinding is the
key above the tab key - but the keysym for that key isn't consistent
across different keyboard layouts.
Add code that figures out the key from the XKB geometry and a magic
keysym name "Above_Tab" that refers to this key and switch
the default binding for cycle_group to <Alt>Above_Tab. (This will
have no effect for the normal case of getting the key binding from
GConf until this patch is applied to Metacity as well.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635569
It may be desirable for theme authors to treat side-by-side tiled
windows differently, for instance to give the edge-touching border
a width of 0, so add additional frame states for tiled windows.

This patch removes the ability to disable compositing in mutter. As
clutter compositing was the reason for the fork from metacity, turning
compositing off does not make sense.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626875
To deal with reentrancy from compositor plugins doing things like
moving windows between workspaces in an effect callback, update
the visible_to_compositor flag before calling into the compositor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613124
When a compositor is present, we keep the visibility state of the
compositor windows in sync with window->visible_to_compositor. We need
to do the same when enabling the compositor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613124
Maximized tiled windows end up with an inconsistent tile mode when
unmaximized by other means than dragging the window free (e.g.
using the unmaximize button or double clicking the title bar), so
reset the tile mode when unmaximizing.
This is not a problem for side-by-side tiling, as there are no
alternatives to dragging the window free.
When a tiled window is maximized (e.g. by clicking the title bar
button), unmaximizing the window restores the tiled state. While
this is reasonable for side-by-side tiling, it is confusing for
"maximize" tiled windows, as unmaximization has no visible effect.
Change unmaximize to only restore the tiled state of side-by-side
tiled windows.
The original patch triggered "maximize" when the window was dragged
to the top, so that the pointer was below or on the monitor edge and
above the work area's top.
If there's no chrome at the top of the monitor, so that monitor edge
and work area top fall together, the pointer cannot be moved above
the work area's top, so tiling was not triggered.
The old behavior of being able to shake loose a maximized window
overlaps with and is for the most part superceded by top edge tiling.
This commit changes the code to only enable shake loose behavior
when edge tiling is disabled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
In addition to the existing side-by-side tiling modes, this commit
adds a new "maximize" tiling mode. It allows the user to maximize
their windows (in other words, tile with the edge panels) by dragging
their window to the top edge of the monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
The meta_window_handle_mouse_grab_op_event function ensures
the tile_mode variable is in a consistent state after a drag
op is finished.
The way this is current done is:
if (!window->maximized_vertically &&
window->tile_mode != META_TILE_NONE)
window->tile_mode = META_TILE_NONE;
While valid, it doesn't "read" as well as using the
META_WINDOW_TILED_SIDE_BY_SIDE macro, since the macro is specifically
about side-by-side tiling.
This commit just changes things to use the macro and to not bother
checking the tile mode (since if we just reset it anyway, then it doesn't
matter if the value is right or wrong to begin with).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
Currently, the new tiling feature, supports side-by-side, horizontal
tiling when dragging windows to one of the vertical edges of a monitor.
Other types of tiling (on other monitor edges) are potentially useful,
though.
This commit renames the preference from side_by_side_tiling to
edge_tiling.

A direction parameter is passed to meta_compositor_switch_workspace(),
to indicate the direction of the switch depending on the workspace

In contrast to the switcher popup, this parameter does not take the

workspace switching animations move in the correct direction.

overlay_key_combo needs the same treatment as other keycodes on a
change - we should always recompute it if we have a keysym not
a keycode, and not only if the keycode hasn't already been
computed.
Simplify the keymap loading logic by unifying the different
branches; in the reorganization this patch fixes a bug where when
we got a MappingKeyboard event we wouldn't update virtual modifiers
correctly.

* Select for XKB keyboard notification events explicitly; since GTK+
has selected for XKB events, delivery of old-school MappingNotify
events is disabled.
* Fix a bug where once a keycode was loaded for a key binding,

all bindings that have a key symbol rather than a fixed
keycode.

Since we can't distinguish a ConfigureEvent that indicates a raise
from a ConfigureEvent that indicates a move, we get lots of

case.

Add a new frame type META_FRAME_TYPE_ATTACHED which is used for

The theme format version is bumped to 3.2, and attached windows

If no style is defined for "attached", drawing will fall back
to the "border" type.

Now that we create MetaWindow objects for override-redirect windows, we need
to check all key press events to see if they are on GTK+ widgets, not just
events that don't match a MetaWindow. This fixes a problem with alt-Tab stealing
grabs away from the window menu.

While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

meta_display_process_key_event() always looks up events based on the
"default" keysym for the keycode, so we should do the same here. This
fixes, eg, the lookup of Shift-Alt-Tab (which would otherwise be
unrecognized because the keysym would be XK_ISO_Left_Tab rather than
XK_Tab).

In many places, MetaRegion was being used entirely internally, rather
than for gtk2/gtk3 compatibility. In these cases, it's simpler to just
depend on cairo-1.10 (for both gtk2 and gtk3) and use cairo_region_t.
The few places where we did need GDK compatibility (GdkEvent.region and
gdk_window_shape_combine_mask) are replaced with a combination of
converting GdkRegion to cairo_region_t and conditional code.

For functions (but not callback types), '(closure)' is used on the
callback parameter, and takes the name of the parameter which is
the closure/user data.
A maximized window can't be resized from the screen edges (preserves
Fitts law goodness for the application), but it's still possible
to start a resize drag with alt-middle-button. Currently we just
don't let the user resize the window, while showing drag feedback;
it's more useful to let the user "break" out from the resize.
This provides a fast way to get a window partially aligned with
the screen edges - maximize, then alt-drag it out from one edge.
Behavior choices in this patch:
- You can drag out a window out of maximization in both directions -
smaller and larger. This can be potentilaly useful in multihead.
- Dragging a window in only one direction unmaximizes the window
fully, rather than leaving it in a horizontally/vertically
maximized state. This is done because the horizontally/vertically
maximzed states don't have clear visual representation and can
be confusing to the user.
- If you drag back to the maximized state after breaking out,
maximization is restored, but you can't maximize a window by
dragging to the full size if it didn't start out that way.
A new internal function meta_window_unmaximize_with_gravity() is
added for implementing this; it's a hybrid of
meta_window_unmaximize() and meta_window_resize_with_gravity().

The hacks we were playing by calling gdk_error_trap_push() and then
resetting the error handler are incompatible with the rewrite of
GDK error traps.
Since the new error code has some features that simplify what we
are doing (like automatically figuring out whether a XSync() is needed)
and because our custom error handler didn't have a lot of a point,
use a separate code path for GTK+ 3.0 builds that just uses the
GDK error traps straight-up without a custom error handler.

Wine sets _NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW to point to an unmapped toplevel;

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.

If the user just presses a modifier (e.g., shift) during Alt+Tab grab, we need

When we do pseudo-management on an override-redirect window, we have to be
careful to augment the existing event mask, not replace it, or
delivery of pointer events will be disrupted.
When we unmanage a window, we shouldn't try to unselect events at all,
since that will interfere with event selection done by GDK.

A mismerge of the Metacity commit "4943d79 Prevent window self-maximisation"
caused the window's user set size and position to be saved *before*
actually resizing the window to the unmaximized position rather than after.
This meant that after unmaximization the window was in an inconsistent
state and anything that caused a resize to be queued (like a change in
window properties by the application) would cause it to pop back to
the maximized size and position.

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

This patch allows one to call Meta.add_debug_topic(Meta.DebugTopic.FOCUS)
from a console, and get just what one wants.

Changing the number of workspaces via an external pager relies on the gconf
key; if a plugin adds or removes workspaces on the fly, we can get into a
situation when the stale number stored by the preferences matches the new

This commit ensures that when the meta_screen_append_new_workspace() or
meta_screen_remove_workspace() functions are called, the stored value is
updated accordingly.

A per-window _MUTTER_HINTS property allowing plugins to use custom hints. The

Although multi-screen support has not been tested and probably
doesn't fully work, the basic setup for multi-screen is that
we have the same list of plugins for all screens, but a different
instance of the plugins for each screen.
To allow plugins to do setup that is screen independent and needs
to occur early in the setup process, we identify a "default plugin
manager" and load (but not start) that plugin manager's plugins
immediately after we know our list of plugins.
That plugin manager is then reused for the first screen we open
and the plugins are started at that time. Separate plugin managers
are loaded and started for any other screens we open.
(A plugin could keep track of whether the screen-independent
setup has been done in a static variable, or it could do everything
in a way that is safe to do repeatedly.)

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.

The change to using gconf_client_all_entries() in commit 2d57b1b4

The change to reduce GConf trips by using
gconf_client_all_entries() broke the fallback to builtin values
because update_binding() was no longer called for bindings not
found in GConf. Fix this by keeping track of the bindings we
find from GConf in a hash table, then looping through and setting
all the bindings at the end.
This also improves efficiency by avoiding a linear scan for each
binding in GConf.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609710
When we are reading bindings initially, update_list_binding() needs

When we are moving a window with a modal dialog to a different
workspace, meta_workspace_focus_default_window() can be called
with 'not_this_one' being the focused modal dialog.

When started without session related command line parameters (e.g. from
gnome-session), metacity picks up client_id from the DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID
environment variable. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish if this was
passed from a config file, representing old saved session, or generated by
gnome-session, therefore load_state is attempted in each case. If the client_id
is generated, there will be no session file, and metacity will report a
warning.
Just remove the warning so that users won't always find a warning at the
start of their .xsession-errors.
