For tiling, we check whether the pointer is near the edges of
the monitor where the pointer is located, so checking that the
pointer is within the bounds of the monitor is unnecessary and
confusing.
If dragging the title bar to the edge of the screen to side-tile,
it's easy to end up above the workarea and end up maximized instead.
Make the entire side of the screen act as edge-tiling.

In a performance or regression testing environment, we may want to
only manage windows from a particular test program, and ignore all
other windows. The MUTTER_WM_CLASS_FILTER environment variable is a
list of WM_CLASS values that should be managed; other windows will
be unmapped and ignored.

This adds a preference that when enabled makes all windows not on
the primary monitor be visible on all workspaces (i.e. not part of the
workspace switching handling).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
Sometimes on_all_workspaces is requested by the client/user, and sometimes
its calculated implicitly due to internal state. We split this up so that
we know when the user has explicitly asked for sticky window, when e.g.
setting wmspec properties or storing session info.
on_all_workspaces means this window is visible on all workspaces.
on_all_workspaces_requested, means the user explicitly made the window
sticky somehow (via imported session, _NET_WM_STATE from another wm,
toggled in the window menu, etc). It always implies on_all_workspaces is
TRUE.
Right now the only time we set on_all_workspaces is for override-redirect
windows, but later we can add a "windows on non-primary monitor are not
part of the workspace switching" feature.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
The latter move method will place the window by the origin of the
enclosing window decoration/frame, while the former will place by the
origin of the inner window, itself.

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

These functions duplicate existing properties; they are added for

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.

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().
Port of the metacity patch from Owen Taylor in bug 622517.

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.

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.
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.

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

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

meta_window_get_mutter_hints() accessor, as well as the internal machinery for
