Sebastian Keller e1c4e55880 x11: Handle selection windows being destroyed before new selection
Wine destroys its old selection window immediately before creating a new
selection. This would trigger restoring the clipboard, which would
overwrite the new selection with the old one. The selection window
however can also be destroyed as part of the shutdown process of
applications, such as Chromium for example. In those cases we want the
clipboard to be restored after the selection window has been destroyed.

Solve this by not immediately restoring the clipboard but instead using
a timeout which can be canceled by any new selection owner, such as in
the Wine case.

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.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general, look at the file you're editing for inspiration.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
