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.)

(This is inspired by Metacity commit 45cbaa2 by Thomas Thurman, but
much simpler - the use of g_date_strftime("%Y") ended up being just
%d for all 90+ current translations)
The commit that removed metacity-dialog added a global SIGCHLD handler
that caused problems by (a) calling waitpid(-1) and thus breaking
g_child_watch for everyone else, and (b) doing too much from a signal
handler and sometimes causing deadlocks (bug 596200).
This removes the global handler and has each zenity user create its
own child watch to watch for exit. (It also fixes the window class of
the zenity dialogs, so that meta_window_present_delete_dialog() will
work again.)
Mutter is a Clutter-based compositing manager. So, remove the code for
the XRender-based compositor, and make it mandatory to have XComposite,
XRender and Clutter.
Run-time support for non-composited operation is left for now.
* src/compositor/mutter/: Move files from this subdirectory into
the main compositor/ directory.
* compositor/compositor-xrender.ccompositor/compositor-xrender.h:
Remove
* include/compositor-clutter.h: Remove this stray file, it had been
replaced with compositor-mutter.h some time back.

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Build a XML gir file and binary typelib file for the interfaces that
we are installing for plugin use. They are installed into $(pkglibdir)
since they are private to the application.

* src/core/main.c: (main): added call to g_thread_init(), as ORBit2
stopped doing it and Metacity is using gconf; closes#565517.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4063
2008-11-22 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
* src/core/all-keybindings.h: "backward", not "backwards" throughout.
2008-11-20 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
* configure.in: turned on -Wall and -Werror in order to
trap as many problems as possible.
* src/ui/resizepopup.c: added correct #include.
* src/ui/theme-viewer.c: initialised variable.
* src/core/xprops.c: corrected cast.
* src/core/main.c: added warning if chdir() fails.
* src/core/schema-bindings.c: checking the return
result of fgets().
2008-11-20 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
Merged screen and window keybinding tables so that
we can use just one file for the both. Also incidentally
closes#528337. Further efficiencies of scale to come.
* src/include/prefs.h: replace META_PREF_*_KEYBINDINGS
with META_PREF_KEYBINDINGS
* src/core/keybindings.c: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
and similar throughout; all window-based functions are now
guaranteed to receive a window so don't need to check for
themselves
(find_handler): moved so it can also be called from
rebuild_binding_table
* src/core/display-private.h: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
* src/core/prefs.c: update_*_binding becomes update_key_binding;
(change_notify): tidy up references to "enormous if statement"
since it's almost entirely gone now
* src/core/all-keybindings.h: new merged version of
screen-bindings.h and window-bindings.h.

When multiple events are generated from a single event (for example,
when a motion event generates an enter/leave pair), events accumulate
in the clutter event queue if the clutter event source is not running.
Add a simple event source that checks clutter_events_pending() and
dispatches events as necessary.
src/core/main.c: Add --mutter-plugins argument (overrides GConf value)
src/core/prefs.c src/include/prefs.h: Add meta_prefs_override_clutter_plugins()
to set a value for clutter_plugins that overrides the value from GConf
2008-10-22 Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@freebsd.org>
* src/core/main.c (meta_finalize, sigterm_handler): new functions
* src/core/main.c (main): add sigterm_handler in case we receive
a SIGTERM. Closes#553980.

* src/core/prefs.[ch] (meta_prefs_set_compositing_manager): new

manager on or off as necessary.

meta_set_syncing, meta_display_set_cursor_theme, disable_compositor,
meta_display_for_x_display, meta_display_open, meta_display_close,

* src/ui, src/core, src/include: sort source files into these
directories according to which part of the WM they are supposed to
be in. In an eventual plan, we should also create
src/compositor/render, src/compositor/fallback and move some of
the compositor stuff into that.
* autogen.sh: require a newer automake, so we don't have to use
a recursive build
* src/ui/tabpopup.c: put in a hack to make the build temporarily
work, want to commit the large rearrangement before fixing this
not to include workspace.h or frame.h
* src/core/iconcache.c (meta_read_icons): temporarily break this
to get the build to work, want to commit the large rearrangement
before fixing this file not to include theme.h
