Carlos Garnacho ad02ef6f44 x11: Drop unnecessary check to ignore crossing events
This check dates all the way back to commit ac2aa5337d. At the time, the
window switcher was an actual X window, that could generate crossing events
if popped up under the pointer. Checking for this kind of crossing events
made sense back at the time in order not to break focus-follows-mouse as
it's been behaving for long.

But now, this UI is all Clutter widgetry, which in the worst case (X11
sessions, of course) it will update the stage window shape to make these
parts clickable. This happens in other places of code that do already
check for ignoring crossing events.

Underneath, this looked up for a Mutter-local GdkWindow of type
GDK_WINDOW_TEMP, only the main MetaFrames window matches those characteristics
nowadays, notably no window switcher popups. Since the remaining window is
never unmapped (until perhaps shutdown), the paths were functionally dead.

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.

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
