Florian Müllner 1c89fce30e stack: Allow promoting transient windows to their parent's layer
When a window that should be stacked above another one is placed in a lower
layer than the other window, we currently allow promoting it to the higher
layer when it has a "transient type". We should do the same when the window
is an actual transient of the other window.

This is particularly relevant for wayland windows, where types play a
much smaller role: Transient windows like non-modal dialogs (and since
commit 666bef7a, popup windows as well) currently end up underneath their
always-on-top parent.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general, look at the file you're editing for inspiration.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
