Jonas Dreßler 63cc4da4f9 clutter/gesture: Cancel other gestures when moving to RECOGNIZING
Quite often there are situations where multiple gestures try to
recognize, keeping track of the same set of points (for example an edge
drag gesture on the stage and a click gesture somewhere in the
scenegraph). Usually what's wanted here is that the first gesture to
move to RECOGNIZING wins over all other active gestures and "claims" the
point for itself.

We implement this by introducing a concept called "influencing". It
works by making all gestures operating on a shared set of points aware
of each other using ClutterAction->register_sequence().
ClutterGesture uses this vfunc to keep track of all other
ClutterGestures that are potentially conflicting, and keeps a list
(priv->cancel_on_recognizing) of those. As soon as the move to
RECOGNIZING happens, all gestures inside this list get moved to
CANCELLED.

To allow fine-grained control over this behavior, two APIs are
introduced:

1) on the implementation level (should_influence() and
should_be_influenced_by()): This is a vfunc that gets called as soon as
a potential conflict is detected. It's helpful when a specific gesture
always behaves the same towards another gesture, for example to make
sure a LongPress gesture never cancels a DragGesture.

2) on the gesture user level, clutter_gesture_can_not_cancel() is
introduced: This allows control for the user of a gesture to specify
that a specific instance of a gesture won't cancel another gesture.
Calling this twice so that both gestures can't cancel each other allows
for things like simultaneous recognition of a pinch-to-zoom and rotate
gesture.

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 of 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.
