When X clients change the keyboard map, the also update a property
on the root window. We can notice that and rebuild our data structures
with the new values, as well as inform the wayland clients.
This is a terrible hack, and it's not how we want to implement things
in 3.12, but it's enough to have the same keyboard layout in the
shell, in X clients and in wayland clients in 3.10, until we decide
on the fate of the keyboard g-s-d plugin.

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.

clutter_stage_show_cursor()/hide_cursor() only works in the X11
backend (where someone else is in charge of showing the cursor),
and even then, it has confusing effects when running nested wayland,
so an abstraction layer is needed.

When we get a damage event we update the window by calling
meta_shaped_texture_update_area which queues a redraw on the actor.
We can avoid that for obscured regions by comparing the damage area to
our visible area.
This patch causes _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN messages to be not sent in some cases
where they should be sent; they will be added back in a later commit.

When drawing entirely opaque regions, we traditionally kept blending on
simply because it made the code more convenient and obvious to handle.
However, this can cause lots of performance issues on GPUs that aren't
too powerful, as they have to readback the buffer underneath.
Keep track of the opaque region set by windows (through _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION,
Wayland opaque_region hints, standard RGB32 frame masks or similar), and draw
those rectangles separately through a different path with blending turned off.

When running as a wayland compositor, we can't use the xserver's
IDLETIME, because that's updated only in response to X events.
But we have all the events ourselves, so we can just run the timer
in process.

Remove grab window and cursor from the API, and just grab always
on the stage window with no cursor.
This is mainly to remove the X11 usage in the public API, in preparation
for implementing this in wayland.

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.

We want to show a dialog when a display change happens from the
control center. To do so, add a new vfunc to MetaPlugin and
call it when a configuration change is requested via DBus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705670
GnomeRR needs that too.
The backlight is exported as a normalized 0-100 value, or -1 if not
supported. Clamping to HW limits is handled by the backend.
Changing backlight uses a different method call, to avoid recomputing
the full display configuration every time the user presses the
backlight keys.

Use a private output property to store if the output is in
presentation mode or not, so that this information is not lost
after the configuration read back from the server.

This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)

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.
Note: At this point no input is supported

This adds a --nested option to request that mutter no longer run as a
classic X compositor with an output window mapped on the X Composite
Overlay Window and also not assume it is running directly under X.
The intention is that in this mode Mutter will itself launch a headless
X server and display output will be handled by Clutter and Cogl. This
will enable running Mutter nested as an application within an X session.
This patch introduces an internal meta_is_wayland_compositor() function
as a means to condition the way mutter operates when running as a
traditional X compositor vs running as a wayland compositor where the
compositor and display server are combined into a single process.
Later we also expect to add a --kms option as another way of enabling
this wayland compositor mode that will assume full control of the
display hardware instead of running as a nested application.
We now track whether a window has an input shape specified via the X
Shape extension. Intersecting that with the bounding shape (as required
by the X Shape extension) we use the resulting rectangles to paint
window silhouettes when picking. As well as improving the correctness of
picking this should also be much more efficient because typically when
only picking solid rectangles then the need to actually render and issue
a read_pixels request can be optimized away and instead the picking is
done on the cpu.
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.
gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
When we set the input focus, we first set the predicted window,
and then try to process focus events. But as XI_FocusOut on the
existing window comes before XI_FocusIn on the new window, we'll
see the focus out on the old window and think the focus is going
to nothing, which makes mutter think the prediction failed.
This didn't really matter as nothing paid attention to the focus
window changing, but with gnome-shell's focus rework, we'll try
and drop keyboard focus in events like these.
Fix this by making sure that we ignore focus window changes of our
own cause when updating the focus window field, by ignoring all
focus events that have a serial the same as the focus request or
lower. Note that if mutter doens't make any requests after the
focus request, this could be racy, as another client could steal
the focus, but mutter would ignore it as the serial was the same.
Bump the serial by making a dummy ChangeProperty request to a
mutter-controlled window in this case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701017
We'll use this in gnome-shell to freeze the keyboard right before
switching input source and unfreeze it after that's finished so that
we don't lose any key events to the wrong input source.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697001
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
The hierarchy handling is handled in the shell by adding stuff
directly to the uiGroup, and we have a dedicated actor for
the overview there, so we don't need this anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
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.
