Now that we have private, per-event platform data, we can start putting
it to good use. The first, most simple use is to store the key group
given the event's modifiers. Since we assume a modern X11, we use XKB
to retrieve it, or we simply fall back to 0 by default.
The data is exposed as a ClutterX11-specific function, within the
sanctioned clutter_x11_* namespace.
We might want pieces higher in the stack (like Mx) to handle XSettings
events as well, and swallowing them by removing them from the events
queue would make it impossible.
The Clutter X11 backend now passes all events through
_cogl_xlib_handle_event. This function can now internally be hooked
with _cogl_xlib_add_filter. These are added to a list of callbacks
which are all called in turn by _cogl_xlib_handle_event. This is
intended to be used internally in Cogl by any parts that need to see
Xlib events.
Cogl now also has an internally exposed function to set a pointer to
the Xlib display. This is stored in a global variable. The Clutter X11
backend sets this.
_cogl_xlib_handle_event and _cogl_xlib_set_display can be removed once
Cogl gains a proper window system abstraction.
Use the XSETTINGS machinery to get notification from foreign
environments about settings that might interest Clutter itself - namely:
the default font name, the font DPI, and the Xft font options that can
be mapped on cairo_font_options_t.
While this is totally fine (None is 0L and, in the pointer context, will
be converted in the right internal NULL representation, which could be a
value with some bits to 1), I believe it's clearer to use NULL instead
of None when we talk about pointers.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

There is no need for us to check for low-level functions and header
files, especially since we haven't been checking the results until
now. This makes cross-compiling slightly more bearable.
The DeviceManager class should be abstract in Clutter, and implemented
by each backend, as different backends will have different ways to
detect, initialize and list devices; the X11 backend alone has *two*
ways of dealing with devices.
This commit makes DeviceManager an abstract class and delegates the
device initialization and enumeration to per-backend sub-classes.
The responsible for creating the device manager is, obviously, the
backend singleton.
The X11 and Win32 backends have been updated to the new layout; the
Win32 backend has been updated blindly, so it might require additional
testing.
If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.
Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.
The extension keyboard support in XInput 1.x is hopelessly broken.
Nevertheless, it's possible to use some bits of it, as we prefer the
core keyboard events to the XInput events, thus at least having proper
handling for X11 key events on the Stage window.
Even with XInput support we should always register core devices. This
allows us to handle enter and leave events correctly on the Stage and
to have a working XInput 1.x support in Clutter.
Instead of overloading the device id of 0 and 1 we should treat the core
devices as special, and have a pointer inside the X11 backend singleton
structure, for fast access.
Use the device manager to store the input devices. Also, provide
two fallback devices when initializing the X11 backend: device 0
for the pointer and device 1 for the keyboard.
Since asking for ARGB by default is still somewhat experimental on X11
and not every toolkit or complex widgets (like WebKit) still do not like
dealing with ARGB visuals, we should switch back to RGB by default - now
that at least we know it works.
For applications (and toolkit integration libraries) that want to enable
the ClutterStage:use-alpha property there is a new function:
void clutter_x11_set_use_argb_visual (gboolean use_argb);
which needs to be called before clutter_init().
The CLUTTER_DISABLE_ARGB_VISUAL environment variable can still be used
to force this value off at run-time.
When requesting the GLXFBConfig for creating the GLX context, we should
always request one that links to an ARGB visual instead of a plain RGB
one.
By using an ARGB visual we allow the ClutterStage:use-alpha property to
work as intended when running Clutter under a compositing manager.
The default behaviour of requesting an ARGB visual can be disabled by
using the:
CLUTTER_DISABLE_ARGB_VISUAL
Environment variable.
The only backend that tried to implement offscreen stages was the GLX backend
and even this has apparently be broken for some time without anyone noticing.
The property still remains and since the property already clearly states that
it may not work I don't expect anyone to notice.
This simplifies quite a bit of the GLX code which is very desireable from the
POV that we want to start migrating window system code down to Cogl and the
simpler the code is the more straight forward this work will be.
In the future when Cogl has a nicely designed API for framebuffer objects then
re-implementing offscreen stages cleanly for *all* backends should be quite
straightforward.
Clutter advertises itself on X11 as implementing the _NET_WM_PING protocol,
which is needed to be able to detect frozen applications; this allows us to
stop the destruction of the stage by blocking the CLUTTER_DELETE event and
wait for user feedback without the Window Manager thinking that the app has
gone unresponsive.
In order to implement the _NET_WM_PING protocol properly, though, we need
to add the _NET_WM_PID property on the Stage window, since the EWMH states:
[_NET_WM_PID] MAY be used by the Window Manager to kill windows which
do not respond to the _NET_WM_PING protocol.
Meaning that an unresponsive Clutter application might not be killable by
the window manager.

Instead of using a specific function to check whether the X
server supports the XInput extension we can use the generic
Xlib function XQueryExtension(). This cuts down the extra
checks inside the configure.ac and simplifies the code inside
clutter_x11_register_xinput().
Currently, XInput support requires a function call. In order to
make it easier for people to test it, we can also add a command
line switch that moves the pointer device detection and handling
to XInput. This should ensure that, at least for people building
Clutter with --enable-xinput, applications can be easily migrated
and regressions can be caught.
The StageManager singleton instance is already kept around
by the clutter_stage_manager_get_default() function; there is
no need to have it inside the main Clutter context as well.
Instead of using _clutter_context_get_default() and checking the
is_initialized flag, we should use the newly added private function
that does not cause side effects, especially for functions that have
to be called before any other Clutter function.
The input device API is split halfway thorugh the backends in a very
weird way. The data structures are private, as they should, but most
of the information should be available in the main API since it's
generic enough.
The device type enumeration, for instance, should be common across
every backend; the accessors for device type and id should live in the
core API. The internal API should always use ClutterInputDevice and
not the private X11 implementation when dealing with public structures
like ClutterEvent.
By adding accessors for the device type and id, and by moving the
device type enumeration into the core API we can cut down the amount
of symbols private and/or visible only to the X11 backends; this way
when other backends start implementing multi-pointer support we can
share the same API across the code.
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.
The XInput support in Clutter is still using XI 1.x. This will never
work correctly, and we are all waiting for XInput 2 anyway. The changes
internally should be minimal, so we can leave everything in place, but
it's better to disable XInput support by default -- at least for the
time being.
Apparently, the XInput extension is using the same pkg-config
file ('xi') for both the 1.x and the 2.x API, so we need to
check for both the 1.x XGetExtensionVersion and the 2.x
XQueryInputVersion.
The XVisualInfo for GL is created when a stage is being realized.
When embedding Clutter inside another toolkit we might not want to
realize a stage to extract the XVisualInfo, then set the stage
window using a foreign X Window -- which will cause a re-realization.
Instead, we should abstract as much as possible into the X11 backend.
Unfortunately, the XVisualInfo for GL is requested using GLX API; for
this reason we have to create a ClutterBackendX11 method that we
override inside the ClutterBackendGLX implementation.
This also allows us to move a little bit of complexity from out of
the stage realization, which is currently a very delicate and hard
to debug section.
Currently, the default screen guard value is 0, which is a valid
screen number on X11, and it might not be the default.
Patch suggested by: Owen W. Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
The clutter_get_current_event_time() function will return the event
timestamp coming from a Clutter event. Clutter might synthesize or
throttle events, so the function cannot be used when dealing with
backend-specific use cases.
The X11 backend is the only backend supported by Clutter that makes
use of timestamps, so it's altogether fitting that it should come
with a specific function to deal with the timestamps of the X events.
Clutter has a set of command line options that are added to every
application by means of clutter_init() or by obtaining the Clutter
GOptionGroup and using g_option_context_parse(). Thus, every Clutter
application will automatically have an --help command line switch
showing the list of options and their description.
At the moment, Clutter does not enable localization of the help,
thus making it less than useful on non-English locales.
This patch enables the machinery to create a localization file and
load it when initializing Clutter, by means of the GLib macros and
locale.h API we already use.
