This small X11 client takes care of creating frames for client
windows, Mutter will use this client to delegate window frame
rendering and event handling.
The MetaWindowTracker object will keep track of windows created
from other clients, and will await for _MUTTER_NEEDS_FRAME property
updates on those (coming from Mutter), indicating the need for a
frame window.
This process is resilient to restarts of the frames client, existing
windows will be queried during start, and the existence of relevant
properties checked. Mutter will be able to just hide/show
SSD-decorated windows while the frames client restarts.
The frames are created through GTK4 widgets, the MetaWindowContent
widget acts as a replacement prop for the actual client window,
and the MetaFrameHeader wraps GtkHeaderBar so that windows can be
overshrunk, but otherwise a MetaFrame is a 100% true GTK4 GtkWindow.
After a frame window is created for a client window, the
_MUTTER_FRAME_FOR property will be set on the frame window,
indicating to mutter the correspondence between both Windows.
Additionally, the pixel sizes of the visible left/right/top/bottom
borders of the frame will be set through the _MUTTER_FRAME_EXTENTS
property, set on the frame window.
In order to make the frame window behave as the frame for the
client window, a number of properties will be tracked from the
client window to update the relevant frame behavior (window title,
resizability, availability of actions...), and also some forwarding
of events happening in the frame will be forwarded to the client
window (mainly, WM_DELETE_WINDOW when the close button is clicked).
Other than that, the frames are pretty much CSD GTK4 windows, so
window drags and resizes, and window context menus are forwarded for
the WM to handle.

Mutter can play sounds in some contexts and also provides an API
for libmutter users to do so using libcanberra internally.
In some specific use cases of Mutter, we would like to not depend
on libcanberra and not have any sound playing feature by default.
The changes keeps the sound player API but make it no-op if the
sound_player feature is disabled to not make it possible to break
a gnome-shell build.

Previously, gsd-color handled adding color devices. It got information
about those via the GnomeRR API, which is part of libgnome-desktop.
libgnome-desktop itself got this information from the
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.GetResources() D-Bus method, implemented
by mutter.
Now, mutter itself will add all the monitor color devices itself,
without having to go via gsd-color.
We sometimes need to delete colord devices synchronously, in certain
race conditions when we add and remove devices very quickly (e.g. in
tests). However, we cannot use libcolord's 'sync' API variants, as it
has a nested takes-all main loop as a way to invoke the sync call. This
effectively means we end up sometimes not return from this function in a
timely manner, causing wierd issues.
Instead, create our own sync helper, that uses a separate context that
we temporarly push as the thread-default one.

The catch option makes test run via 'catch'[1], which will log
backtraces whenever an abort or segmentation fault happens in any of the
subprocesses. The aim is to enable this when running in CI to help
debugging crashes that only tend to happen in CI.
While it's possible to wrap the whole meson command in 'catch', doing so
doesn't cover the KVM tests, so this option is added instead that covers
both cases.

This launches Xvfb, using xvfb-run, and inside tests the following:
1. Launching 'mutter --x11' works
2. Launching a couple of X11 clients works (doesn't crash or result in
warnings)
3. Launching 'mutter --x11 --replace' works
4. Terminating works
It does this using a simple shell script.

gnome-desktop is used to retrieve the monitor vendor name which in some
use cases is not needed as it brings a bunch of gnome-desktop unwanted

When using Xwayland-on-demand (default), if the (experimental) autoclose
features is enabled, we can rely on Xwayland's auto-terminate feature
instead of explicitly killing the Xwayland process.
With it, gone is the mechanism that was added to check the X11 clients
connected and their executable to check whether we can (safely) kill
Xwayland.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1794>
The connection to the Xserver for the X11 window manager part of mutter
even on Wayland may prevent the Xserver from shutting down.
Currently, what mutter does is to check the X11 clients still connected
to Xwayland using the XRes extension, with a list of X11 clients that
can be safely ignored (typically the GNOME XSettings daemon, the IBus
daemon, pulseaudio and even mutter window manager itself).
When there is just those known clients remaining, mutter would kill
Xwayland automatically.
But that's racy, because between the time mutter checks with Xwayland
the remaining clients and the time it actually kills the process, a new
X11 client might have come along and won't be able to connect to
Xwayland that mutter is just about to kill.
Because of that, the feature “autoclose-xwayland” is marked as an
experimental feature in mutter and not enabled by default.
Thankfully, the Xserver has all it takes to manage that already, and
is even capable of terminating itself once all X11 clients are gone (the
-terminate option on the command line).
With XFixes version 6, the X11 clients can declare themselves
"terminatable", so that the Xserver could simply ignore those X11
clients when checking the remaining clients and terminate itself
automatically.
Use that mechanism to declare mutter's own connection to the Xserver as
"terminatable" when Xwayland is started on demand so that it won't hold
Xwayland alive for the sole purpose of mutter itself.

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

Create a test system bus and use it to run all the tests, add a mock
SensorsProxy (via dbusmock template) server that implements the
net.hadess.SensorProxy interface.
To make testing easier, the service is created on request of a proxy for
it, whose lifetime controls the mock service lifetime as well.
This is done using a further mock service that is used to manage the
others, using python-dbusmock to simplify the handling.
Add basic tests for the orientation manager.
As per the usage dbusmock, we're now launching all the tests under such
wrapper, so that local dbus environment won't ever considered, and
there's no risk that it may affect the tests results both locally and in
CI.

Current Xwayland has marked the command line option "-listen" as
deprecated in favor of "-listenfd".
Use the pkg-config variable "have_listenfd" (if available) from Xwayland
to determine if we should use that option, to avoid a deprecation
warning when spawning Xwayland.

Currently, mutter checks for the presence of X11 windows to decide
whether or not Xwayland can be terminated, when Xwayland is started on
demand.
Unfortunately, not all X11 clients will map a window all the time, an
X11 client may keep the X11 connection opened after closing all its
windows. In that case, we may terminate Xwayland while there are some
X11 client connected still, and terminating Xwayland will also kill
those X11 clients.
To avoid that issue, check the X11 clients actually connected using the
XRes extension. The XRes extension provides the PID of the (local) X11
clients connected to the Xserver, so we need to match that against the
actual executable names, and compare with a list of known executables
that we can safely ignore, such as ibus-x11 or gsd-xsettings.
We also check against our own executable name, considering that the X11
window manager is also an X11 client connected to the Xserver.
Also, XRes returning the PID of local clients only is not a problem
considering that Xwayland does not listen to remote connections.
However, if the user spawns a client remotely on another system using
ssh tunneling (ssh -X), only clients which actually map a window will
be accounted for.

Some GSettings schemas moved from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas
in g-s-d 40.alpha. 40.alpha.1 didn't include the corresponding
adjustment, so do a quick follow-up release to not abort on startup
with the latest g-s-d release.
I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Xwayland in its main development branch now provides a pkg-config file
which can be used to determine Xwayland installation path and various
options enabled at build time.
Change mutter build system to optionally use that mechanism if
available. If not (as with Xwayland from the current stable branch),
keep the fallback mechanisms (basically search for the Xwayland and parse
its command line options to determine if initfd is available).

Fedora's mutter is built with --auto-features=enabled which enables
