gnome-shell shouldn't announce to the session manager it's
"ready" until it's fully initialized. It currently tells
the session manager it's ready as soon as it hits the main
loop. This causes nautilus in classic mode to start before
we have workspaces initialized.

During compositor grabs, all global keybindings that don't go
through mutter's keybinding system are blocked. To allow other
processes to make use of it, gnome-shell will expose a simple
grab API on DBus; for this, add API to grab key combos directly
instead of parsing accelerators stored in GSettings.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.

The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.

Put override redirect windows such as menus into a separate window group
stacked above everything else. This will allow us to visually put these

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685463
When the application provides the extended second counter for
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, send a client message with completion
information after the next redraw after each counter update
by the application.

Replace the unused meta_compositor_set_updates() with
a reversed-meaning meta_compositor_set_updates_frozen(), and use
it to implement freezing application window updates during
interactive resizing. This avoids drawing new areas of the window
with blank content before the application has a chance to repaint.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677215
Currently, we have a few function wrappers in the shell for pointer
barriers. If we want to implement interactive features on barriers,
we need some sort of signal to be notified of the interactivity.
In that case, we need to make a more sophisticated object-based wrapper
for a pointer barrier. Add one, and stick it in mutter.

This new hint allows compositors to know what portions of a window
will be obscured, as a region above them is opaque. For an RGB window,
possible to glean this information from the bounding shape region of
a client window, but not for an ARGB32 window. This new hint allows
clients that use ARGB32 windows to say which part of the window is
opaque, allowing this sort of optimization.

Using a public method for setting the (cached) icon geometry rather
than accessing the struct members directly allows setting the icon
geometry from extensions.

We have some code in gnome-shell that does the equivalent of:
window.get_workspace() == workspace || window.is_on_all_workspaces();
which is a bit unwieldy. We already have a method in mutter,
so use that and document it.

Add meta_window_check_alive(), which is a simple wrapper over
meta_display_ping_window(), and takes care of showing the "Application

Mechanically transform the event processing of mutter to care
about XI2 events instead of Core Events. Core Events will be left

Since we want nice alt-tab applications for gnome-shell, we should up the
limit to 96. In the future, we probably want to get rid of the icon-cache,
and allow looking up a correctly sized icon directly from the window.
To prevent app breakage, set the legacy WM_HINTS pixmap size directly to
32x32.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689651
Add an additional "switcher" keybinding for switching between
applications rather than windows (like the existing 'switch-windows'
and 'switch-group' bindings).
The purpose of the new keybinding is to be taken over by gnome-shell's
application-based alt-tab popup, so rather than actually implementing
an application switcher in mutter, let it duplicate the normal window
switcher when run standalone.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688913
Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).
Instead, provide a hook to allow the compositor to filter out keybindings
before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
Using ClutterEffect is not pratical on MetaBackgroundActor, as the FBO
redirection has a noticeable performance impact. Instead, allow adding
GLSL code directly to the pipeline used to draw the background texture.
At the same time, port MetaBackgroundActor to modern Cogl API.

Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
moving.

Add a type annotation on the xevent_filter vfunc. This is sufficient

As plugins can now define their own keyboard shortcuts via
meta_display_add_keybinding(), it makes sense for them to
expose those shortcuts to System Settings, so add some API
to set the properties gnome-control-center uses to pick up
wm keybinding settings.

Similar to meta_screen_get_primary_monitor, this returns a monitor index.

The "multiple plugins loaded at once" strategy was always a big fiction:
while it may be viable if you're super careful, it's fragile and requires
a bit of infrastructure that we would be better off without.
Note that for simplicity, we're keeping the MetaPluginManager, but it only
manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676855
We already check that the plugin has the appropriate vfunc in the klass
structure, so we shouldn't need to check for the same data again with
a "features" long.

We may not show the backtrace, but it's prohibitly expensive to generate,

This effectively makes MetaShapedTexture not a MetaShapedTexture, but a simple
and dumb MetaMaskedTexture, with an optimization for clipped regions.
We're doing this as the mask may need to be more complicated than made of
a cairo path -- we eventually want GTK+ to draw the entire frame background,
which we'll then scan.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
As we want GTK+ to paint the mask on an A8, we can't simply use a cairo
path. A later commit will make this into a simple masked texture, and
meta-window-actor will be in control of the mask.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
The concept of a clip region doesn't make sense now that we have anti-aliased
corners and a full alpha channel. Once the theme transition is complete,
creating a preview image with an alpha channel will be possible by passing
an ARGB surface to gtk_widget_draw(preview_widget, ...);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676052
If we want to support keybindings from extensions installed in the user's
directory, we can't take a schema, as the GSettings object needs to have
a special GSettingsSchemaSource.

This is a new value, not associated with any keybindings, useful

Returns the matching tiled window. This is the topmost tiled window in a
complementary tile mode that is:
- on the same monitor;
- on the same workspace;
- spanning the remaining monitor width;
- there is no 3rd window stacked between both tiled windows that's
partially visible in the common edge.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643075
Some modifiers like NumLock and ScrollLock don't make sense in
keybindings, which is why we ignore them when matching keybindings
to events. We should do the same in Javascript, so add an accessor
function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665215
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671568
Mutter originally started out with the idea that only a subset of the total
API was exposed to plugins, so some APIs are duplicated on MutterPlugin.
We've long since abandoned that idea; remove these wrappers.

When we were shaping the window with a cairo region, there was an easy
optimization to restrict painting only to the pixels we were going to
actually draw. With rounded corners, the amount of work we have to do
figure out what pixels isn't worth the small savings of not drawing the
completely transparent parts of the corners, so remove this optimization,
and the supporting meta_shaped_texture_get_visible_pixels_region()

ClutterTexture has many features that we simply don't use and don't make
sense for a subclass with custom drawing. Deriving directly from ClutterActor
simplifies our code by avoiding workarounds and makes things more robust.
Additionally, make it public. GNOME Shell was already assuming that any
MetaShapedTexture was also a ClutterTexture, and we need to replace these
bits with new API for GNOME Shell to use.

For maximized windows, titlebars cannot be used to reposition or
scale the window, so if an application does not use it to convey
useful information (other than the application name), the screen
space occupied by titlebars could be put to better use.
To account for this use case, a setting for requesting that windows'
titlebars should be hidden during maximization has been added to
GTK+, add support for this in the window manager.

Rather than defining keybindings in static arrays generated at compile
time, store them in a hash table initialized in meta_display_init_keys()

Commit d0910da036 merged the visual-bell/visual-bell-type options,

the separate option.
Move preferences to GSettings, using mainly shared schemas from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.
Unlike GConf, GSettings support is not optional, as Gio is already

Different bits of code were using slightly different checks to test
whether a window was an attached dialog. Add a new
meta_window_is_attached_dialog(), and use that everywhere.
Also, freeze the is-attached status when the window is first shown,
rather than recomputing it each time the caller asks, since this could
cause problems if a window changes its type after it has already been
attached, etc. However, if an attached window's parent is destroyed,
or an attached window changes its transient-for, then fix things up by
destroying the old MetaWindow and creating a new one (causing
compositor unmap and map events to be fired off, allowing the display
of the window to be fixed up).
Remove some code in display.c that tried to fix existing windows if
the gconf setting changed, but which didn't actually do anything (at
least under gnome-shell). However, if 654643 was fixed then the new
behavior with this patch would be that changing the gconf setting
would affect new dialogs, but not existing ones.
