Michel Dänzer 8de0771aad screen-cast/area-src: Add before-paint watch to catch scanouts
Scanouts are taken away after painting. However, when we're
streaming, what we actually want is to capture whatever is
going to end up on screen - and that includes the scanout
if there's any.

Add a before-paint watch that only records new frames if a
scanout is set.

Inspired by (and commit log mostly copied from) e6a13e5d5774
("monitor-stream-src: Add before-paint watch to catch scanouts").

v2:
* Do not call stage_painted from before_stage_painted (Georges Basile
  Stavracas Neto)

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.

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.
