Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into their home directory and have them loaded automatically. libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117 However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice. We need to manually add that search path as lookup path. As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search paths. The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/936 |

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.

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter.
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.
