Olivier Fourdan 2432508db7 core: Account for the globally active input case 
Commit afa43154 tried to make sure the focus was properly changed when
calling focus_default_window() by checking the focused window just after
trying to set the focus.

However, the X11 “Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual” version
2.0 (ICCCM 2 for short) states that some X11 client may want to use a so
called “globally active input” model in which case the client expects
keyboard input and set input focus even when it's not one of its own
window.

To comply with this, when dealing with such clients, mutter will not
change the focus and send a WM_TAKE_FOCUS message instead.

That mechanism will defeat the logic introduced by commit afa43154
because the focused window is not changed in this case. As a result, the
input focus will fallback to the no-focus window.

To avoid this, only check that the focus change occurred for windows
using a synchronous focus model.

v2: Split specific test for "globally active input" model (Florian).
v3: Remove the check for window->unmanaging which is useless (Jonas).

Fixes: afa43154 - "core: Make sure focus_default_window() worked"

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.

It can be useful to look at the documentation available at the Wiki.

Coding style and conventions

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some additions:

  • Use regular C types and stdint.h types instead of GLib fundamental types, except for gboolean, and guint/gulong for GSource ids and signal handler ids. That means e.g. uint64_t instead of guint64, int instead of gint, unsigned int instead of guint if unsignedness is of importance, uint8_t instead of guchar, and so on.

  • Try to to limit line length to 80 characters, although it's not a strict limit.

  • Usage of g_autofree and g_autoptr are encouraged. The style used is

  g_autofree char *text = NULL;
  g_autoptr (MetaSomeThing) thing = NULL;

  text = g_strdup_printf ("The text: %d", a_number);
  thing = g_object_new (META_TYPE_SOME_THING,
                        "text", text,
                        NULL);
  thinger_use_thing (rocket, thing);

  • Declare variables at the top of the block they are used, but avoid non-trivial logic among variable declarations. Non-trivial logic can be getting a pointer that may be NULL, any kind of math, or anything that may have side effects.

  • Instead of boolean arguments in functions, prefer enums or flags when they're more expressive.

  • Use g_new0() etc instead of g_slice_new0().

  • Initialize and assign floating point variables (i.e. float or double) using the form floating_point = 3.14159 or ratio = 2.0.

Git messages

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as compositor: or clutter/actor:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit message body than too little.
