Jonas Ådahl 8ec8a26717 display: Unmanage windows before compositor
Prior to 'compositor: Destroy actors when unmanaging', window actors
were destroyed when the compositor object was destroyed, long after the
windows were unmanaged, however, when this instead changed to happen
when unmanaging, with the original goal to avoid having these actors try
to interact with the disposed MetaCompositor instance, it caused an
issue where window actors would be indirectly destroyed as a side effect
of their parents being destroyed, which caused some fallout in the logic
handling window-close animation tracking, which relies on
meta_window_actor_queue_destroy() being called before a window actor is
actually destroyed.

Fix this by unmanaging windows before unmanaging the compositor.

From an X11 point of view, this should be harmless, since all it really
do is call XCompositeUnredirectSubwindows().

For the native backend and the common behavior, all unmanaging the
compositor instance does is destroy clutter actors, so doing so after
window actors were already cleaned up should not be a problem, as this
was the case before too.

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.

Default branch

The default development branch is main. If you still have a local checkout under the old name, use:

git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
