Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
We previously separated out MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. mutter
would only manage one screen, but we still kept a list of screens
for simplicity.
With Wayland support, we no longer care about the ability to
manage more than one screen at a time. Remove this by killing
the list of screens, in favor of having just one MetaScreen
in MetaDisplay.
We also kill off active_screen at the same time, since it's
not necessary anymore.
A future cleanup should merge MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. To avoid
breaking API, we should probably keep MetaScreen around as a dummy
type.
At one point, it was supported to run mutter without a compositor,
but we don't allow that any longer. A lot of code already assumes
display->compositor exists and doesn't check for a NULL pointer,
so just kill the rest of the checks.
Prior to the DisplayConfig merge, we would set _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS
to (unsigned)-1 when unset. After that, we would have invalid
reads inside meta_screen_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index() (called
with -1).
The way I read the specification, the proper way to indicate
that the window is back to fullscreen on all monitors is to
remove the property, so do that.
Also, add an assertion that meta_screne_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index()
is doing the right thing.

Using a full InputOutput window causes us to make a full Wayland surface
for it, and go through the X server. As the goal of the guard window is
a window for us to stack minimized windows under so we can prevent them
from getting input, it makes sense to use an InputOnly window here.
Remove some obvious server grabs from the window creation codepath,
also ones that are taken at startup.
During startup, there is no need to grab: we install the event handlers
before querying for the already-existing windows, so there is no danger
that we will 'lose' some window. We might try to create a window twice
(if it comes back in the original query and then we get an event for it)
but the code is already protected against such conditions.
When windows are created later, we also do not need grabs, we just need
appropriate error checking as the window may be destroyed at any time
(or it may have already been destroyed).
The stack tracker is unaffected here - as it listens to CreateNotify and
DestroyNotify events and responds directly, the internal stack
representation will always be consistent even if the window goes away while
we are processing MapRequest or similar.
Now that there are no grabs we don't have to worry about explicitly calling
display_notify_window after grabs have been dropped. Fold that into
meta_window_new_shared().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721345
In meta_screen_manage_all_windows() we can use our own stack
tracker to get the list of windows - no need to query X again.
A copy is needed because the stack gets modified as part of the loop.
Specifically, meta_stack_tracker_get_stack() at this time returns the
predicted stack, and meta_window_new() performs a few operations
(e.g. framing) which cause immediate changes to the predicted stack.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721345
The compositor code used to handle X windows that didn't have a
corresponding MetaWindow (see commit d538690b), which is why the
attribute query is separated.
As that doesn't happen any more, we can clean up. No functional changes.
Suggested by Owen Taylor.

For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Warnings that are going to the journal should be not translated:

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

Add a new object, MetaMonitorConfig, that takes care of converting
between the logical configurations stored in monitors.xml and
the HW resources exposed by MonitorManager.
This commit includes loading and saving of configurations, but
still missing is the actual CRTC assignments and a default
configuration when none is found in the file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Now MonitorManager does its own handling of XRandR events, which
means we no longer handle ConfigureNotify on the root window.
MetaScreen reacts to MonitorManager::monitor-changed and updates
its internal state, including the new size.
This paves the way for doing display configuration using only
the dummy backend, which would allow testing wl_output interfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
Consolidate all places that deal with output configuration in
MetaScreen, which gets it either from XRandR or from a dummy static configuration.
We still need to read the Xinerama config, even when running xwayland,
because we need the indices for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS, but
now we do it only when needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
This breaks down the assumptions in stack-tracker.c and stack.c that
Mutter is only stacking X windows.
The stack tracker now tracks windows using a MetaStackWindow structure
which is a union with a type member so that X windows can be
distinguished from Wayland windows.
Some notable changes are:
Queued stack tracker operations that affect Wayland windows will not be
associated with an X serial number.
If an operation only affects a Wayland window and there are no queued
stack tracker operations ("unvalidated predictions") then the operation
is applied immediately since there is no server involved with changing
the stacking for Wayland windows.
The stack tracker can no longer respond to X events by turning them into
stack operations and discarding the predicted operations made prior to
that event because operations based on X events don't know anything
about the stacking of Wayland windows.
Instead of discarding old predictions the new approach is to trust the
predictions but whenever we receive an event from the server that
affects stacking we cross-reference with the predicted stack and check
for consistency. So e.g. if we have an event that says ADD window A then
we apply the predictions (up to the serial for that event) and verify
the predicted state includes a window A. Similarly if an event says
RAISE_ABOVE(B, C) we can apply the predictions (up to the serial for
that event) and verify that window B is above C.
If we ever receive spurious stacking events (with a serial older than we
would expect) or find an inconsistency (some things aren't possible to
predict from the compositor) then we hit a re-synchronization code-path
that will query the X server for the full stacking order and then use
that stack to walk through our combined stack and force the X windows to
match the just queried stack but avoiding disrupting the relative
stacking of Wayland windows. This will be relatively expensive but
shouldn't be hit for compositor initiated restacking operations where
our predictions should be accurate.
The code in core/stack.c that deals with synchronizing the window stack
with the X server had to be updated quite heavily. In general the patch
avoids changing the fundamental approach being used but most of the code
did need some amount of re-factoring to consider what re-stacking
operations actually involve X or not and when we need to restack X
windows we sometimes need to search for a suitable X sibling to restack
relative too since the closest siblings may be Wayland windows.
This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.

We need to update window->monitor on override_redirect windows as well, other

Add new api (meta_screen_get_current_monitor_for_pos and
meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info_for_pos) that allow querying the monitor
without a roundtrip by reusing the passed in cursor position.
Trying to track the fullscreen status outside of Mutter, as GNOME Shell
was doing previously, was very prone to errors, because Mutter has a
very tricky definition of when a window is set to be fullscreen and
*actually* acting like a fullscreen window.
* Add meta_screen_get_monitor_in_fullscreen() and an
::in-fullscreen-changed signal. This allows an application to
track when there are fullscreen windows on a monitor.
* Do the computation of fullscreen status in a "later" function that
runs after showing, so we properly take focus into account.
* To get ordering of different phases right, add more values
to MetaLaterType.
* Add auto-minimization, similar to what was added to GNOME Shell
earlier in this cycle - if a window is set to be fullscreen, but
not actually fullscreen, minimize.

meta_screen_get_monitor_for_rect will return the monitor that

The guard window is effectively the background window, as it sits

meta_screen_resize calls meta_window_update_for_monitors_changed for all
windows including OR windows when the monitors change (or screen size).
This calls meta_window_move_between_rects for the window which attempts to
move the OR window by calling meta_window_move_resize.
meta_window_move_resize refuses to do anything on OR windows (just returns
for OR windows).
This causes a storm of assert messages when the screen
resolution changes while an OR window is visible.
(like the one gnome-control-center displays with the monitor name).
Fix that by not calling meta_window_update_for_monitors_changed for OR windows
and let the applications handle them by themselves.

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.

Since we want nice alt-tab applications for gnome-shell, we should up the

On startup, workspaces are initialized according to the num-workspaces
preference. However when using dynamic workspaces, the actual number
of workspaces in use might be greater than the preference (when
replacing the window manager), forcing windows on those workspaces
to the first workspace.
To fix, ignore the preference completely when using dynamic workspaces
and try to restore the previous number of workspaces (as read from
_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS).

Require the headers for "XFree86" Xinerama to be present at compile
time. The older "Solaris" Xinerama is only needed for versions of

that will actually work for Solaris 11, which uses Xorg.

We currently sync the number of workspaces with the corresponding
preference. This is not really useful with GNOME Shell's dynamic
handling of workspaces, not least as the setting is effectively
ignored. Worse, it will trigger writes to dconf on login, slowing
down startup, so add a setting to indicate that workspaces are managed
dynamically and really ignore the num-workspaces setting when set.

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/.

Changing the number of workspaces via an external pager relies on the gconf
key; if a plugin adds or removes workspaces on the fly, we can get into a
situation when the stale number stored by the preferences matches the new

meta_screen_remove_workspace() functions are called, the stored value is
