Things like meta_compositor_destroy() and meta_compositor_add_window()
isn't intended to be used externally, and if they was, things would
probably fall apart rather quickly.
MetaCompositor also isn't introspected, meaning things that technically
belong to the compositing parts isn't easily available via some object,
but much take detours via other objects like MetaDisplay.
So move the API intended for internal usage to compositor-private.h, and
leave API that is meant to be expose in the public compositor.h.

The "later" API is used to queue actions in relation to compositing,
thus is owned by the MetaCompositor instance. Make users of this
functionality get MetaLaters instance from the compositor, and stop
using the global meta_later() API.

As elsewhere, make sure objects that need to have a ownership up to the
context, and use this ownership chain to find relevant components, such
as the backend or the Wayland compositor object instance.
wayland/data-device: Hook up data devices to seats
They are tied to a seat - make that connection in struct fields too, so
that related objects can get to the context via it.
wayland: Don't get Wayland compositor via singleton getter
This means via the ownership chain or equivalent.
xwayland: Hook up manager to Wayland compositor
Same applies to the drag-n-drop struct.
xwayland: Make X11 event handling compositor instance aware
This avoids finding it via singletons in the callee.
xwayland: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
xwayland: Pass manager when handling dnd event
window/xwayland: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
xwayland/grab-keyboard: Don't get backend from singleton
xwayland: Don't get backend from singleton
wayland: Always get the backend from the context
This means traveling up the ownership chain or equivalent when
necessary.
wayland: Hook up data devices, offers and sources to the compositor
This allows tying them to a context without going through any
singletons.
wayland: Don't get display from singleton
xwayland: Don't get display from singleton
tablet: Don't get display from singleton

When moving to another monitor the window size may change in some

This one does proper error reporting. Via Javascript, barriers are
constructed directly via GObject construction, which currently can't
handle error reporting, but when calling from C we can. However, if we
initialize using GInitable, and use that in our constructor method, once
gjs gains support for construction using GInitable, including the error
reporting, we'll automatically get proper error reporting to Javascript.

Prior to this commit, barriers were created with a MetaDisplay pointer,
despite being entities related and owned by the backend. In the X11
case, it was also not hooked up to the backend X11 connection, but the
clutter one, meaning for example that the logic was active (but dormant)
also for the Xwayland connection.
Fix this by moving X11 barrier management and event processing fully to
the backend. Also replace passing a display pointer with passing a
backend pointer. Keep the display pointer around for a release, but mark
it as deprecated.

The MetaKeyboardA11yFlags are used by gnome-shell to show a dialog
whenever a keyboard accessibility feature is switched using the
keyboard.
Unfortunately, commit c3acaeb25 renamed the Clutter flag to Meta and
moved them to a private header. As a result, gnome-shell do not show any
dialog anymore when a keyboard accessibility feature is activated.
Move the MetaKeyboardA11yFlags definition to a public header so that
gnome-shell can use it.

We'd put the message in a variable called `message`. If something passed

The start phase creates the MetaDisplay object, and initializes Wayland, and
creates the main loop.

The terminate phase terminates the main loop, with or without an error.

Configuration is the first step of the lifetime of a context, after
creation; it's here where argc/argv is processed, and it's determined
what kind of compositor, etc, it is going to be.
The tests always run as Wayand compositors, so the configuration is
quite simple, but will involve more steps later on.

This type is intended to replace the scattered functions used to
configure how the Mutter compositor is run. It currently doesn't do
anything, and only has a human readable name, intended to be set to e.g.
"GNOME Shell".

`MetaContextMain` for real display server use cases, and a
`MetaContextTest` for test cases.

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,
meta-idle-monitor.c and meta-backend.c, all related to higher level
management of idle watches etc.
The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what
MetaDisplay usually deals with.
It also takes over the work of implementing "core" idle monitors. The
singleton API is replaced with thin wrapper functions on the backend.

We're going to round the workspace backgrounds in the new overview for
gnome-shell 40.
So far corner-rounding was only possible for StWidgets because the
rounded clipping was done using cairo drawing. We now need rounded
clipping for ClutterActors too because backgrounds are drawn using
ClutterActors (or more specifically a ClutterContent). To implement
that, first a ClutterOffscreenEffect subclass together with a fragment
shader from GSK (see gskSetOutputColor() [1] in the GSK GL renderer
code) was investigated, and while that was generic and worked quite
well, it was extremely slow for the case of drawing wallpapers because
of all the FBOs that had to be allocated.
This is the new, more performant approach: Use the same fragment shader,
but perform the rounded clipping right in MetaBackgroundContent while
we're painting the wallpaper. This has almost no performance impact,
with the downside of not being a generic solution.
To allow for rounded clipping not only at the edges of the wallpaper,
but using any given bounding rectangle, the API exposes not only the
radius, but also a bounding rect.

Since commit c255031b6d we pass scroll-events through to
the compositor if the window_grab_modifiers are pressed;
in order to allow gnome-shell to check for those events,
expose the struct member as a MetaDisplay property.
Also take the opportunity to pick a more generic name, now
that the modifier is no longer used exclusively for mouse
clicks (unless we maintain the notion of scroll events as
button 4 and 5 "clicks").

It's pointless to call into functions that produce information that will

Mutter itself is versioned now, so passing the version information
to the plugin is redunant now: The version is already determined by
linking to a particular API version (gnome-shell) or by installing
to a versioned plugin path (external plugins).

Instead of having everyone check net.hadess.SensorProxy themselves, have
this all controlled by the MetaOrientationManager, and proxied everywhere
else via a readonly property in org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.
We want to attach more complex policies here, and it seems better to
centralize the handling of the autorotation feature rather than
implementing policy changes all over the place.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Instead of blindly hoping that `$INCLUDE` contains the parent directory
of `gsettings-desktop-schemas`.
Because `gsettings-desktop-schemas.pc` says:
```
Cflags: -I/SOME/DIRECTORY/gsettings-desktop-schemas
```
Which means to include the version that Meson has configured you need
to drop the directory prefix and only `#include <gdesktop-enums.h>`.
This fixes a build failure with local installs triggered by 775ec67a44

As explained in the last commit, gnome-shell needs to be able to thaw
window actor updates during its size-change effect is active.

MetaBackgroundActor is still necessary for culling purposes,
but now the actual rendering of the background is delegated

We don't have enough Xlib code in mutter ...
Joking aside, it can be useful to make the cursor invisible
without hiding it, for example for replacing the actual cursor
with an actor in gnome-shell; the real cursor should still
update the focus surface in that case, and not sneak into
screenshots or -casts.

The shell uses the PID of windows to map them to apps or to find out
which window/app triggered a dialog. It currently fails to do that in
some situations on Wayland, because meta_window_get_pid() only returns a
valid PID for x11 clients.
So use the client PID instead of the X11-exclusive _NET_WM_PID property
to find out the PID of the process that started the window. We can do
that by simply renaming the already existing
meta_window_get_client_pid() API to meta_window_get_pid() and moving
the old API providing the _NET_WM_PID to meta_window_get_netwm_pid().
