Use connect_after() to accomodate code in GNOME Shell that,
when benchmarking drawing performance, connects to ::after-paint
and calls glFinish(). The timing information from that will be
more accurate if we hold off until that completes before we signal
apps to begin drawing the next frame. If there are no other
connections to ::after-paint, connect() vs. connect_after() doesn't
matter.

When opening the window menu without an associated control - e.g.
by right-clicking the titlebar or by keyboard - using coordinates
for the menu position is appropriate. However when the menu is
associated with a window button, the expected behavior in the
shell can be implemented much easier with the full button geometry:
the menu will point to the center of the button's bottom edge
rather than align to the left/right side of the titlebar as it
does now, and the clickable area where a release event does not
dismiss the menu will match the actual clickable area in mutter.
So add an additional show_window_menu_for_rect() function and
use it when opening the menu from a button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731058
The last commit added support for the "appmenu" button in decorations,
but didn't actually implement it. Add a new MetaWindowMenuType parameter
to the show_window_menu () functions and use it to ask the compositor
to display the app menu when the new button is activated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730752
It looks weird to have Alt+Space pop up under the cursor instead
of the top-left corner of the window, and the Wayland request will
pass through the coordinates as well.
Add it to the compositor interface, and extend the
_GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU ClientMessage to support it as well.
Talking it over with Owen, we weren't sure why this was here.
At one point, we were creating a foreign stage window, so potentially
Clutter didn't select for its own events, but now we're using a standard
stage window, so this seems weird.
Why we did it on the COW, nobody knows. Maybe copy/paste bugginess?
Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
We previously separated out MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. mutter
would only manage one screen, but we still kept a list of screens
for simplicity.
With Wayland support, we no longer care about the ability to
manage more than one screen at a time. Remove this by killing
the list of screens, in favor of having just one MetaScreen
in MetaDisplay.
We also kill off active_screen at the same time, since it's
not necessary anymore.
A future cleanup should merge MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. To avoid
breaking API, we should probably keep MetaScreen around as a dummy
type.
If we have a CLICKING grab op we still need to send events to xwayland
so that we get them back for gtk+ to process thus we can't steer
wayland input focus away from it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726123
This ensures that we send the proper leave and enter events to wayland
clients.
Particularly, this solves a bug in SSD xwayland windows where clicking
and dragging on the title bar to move the window only works on the odd
turn (unless the pointer moves away from the title bar between
tries). This happens because xwayland gets a button press but doesn't
see the release so when it gets the next button press it discards it
because its pointer button tracking logic says that the button is
already pressed. Sending the proper wayland pointer leave event fixes
it since wayland clients must forget about button state at that point.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726123
All WM events (passive button grabs and passive keyboard grabs)
are handled through clutter now, so we must make sure we spoof
them even if they happen on frames (because that's where we
grab on)
Weirdly, clutter stopped segfaulting when we call clutter_x11 methods
and the backend is not right, but this is correct anyway, and
probably fixes some BadDrawable errors in mutter-wayland on x11,
caused by mixing windows of the outer X and windows of Xwayland.
Mouse event handling was duplicated, resulting in weird interactions
if clutter was allowed to see certain events (for example under
wayland, where it gets all events). Because now clutter sees all
X events, even when running as an x11 compositor, we can handle
everything using the clutter variants.
At the same time, rewrite a little the passive button grab code,
to make it clear what is being matched on what and why.
meta_ui_window_is_widget() returns FALSE for frame windows, so we
must filter those explicitly (by letting the event go to gtk
and from there to MetaFrames). Also, for proper gtk widgets
(window menus) we want to let gtk see all events, including
keyboard, otherwise we break keynav in the window menu.
This means that having a window menu open disables keybindings
(because the event doesn't run through clutter)
We must spoof events to clutter even if they are associated
with a MetaWindow, because keyboard events are always associated
with one (the focus window), and we must process keybindings
for window togheter with the global ones if they include Super,
because we're not going to see them again.
... and individually. It turns out that updating the opaque region
was causing the shape region to be updated, which was causing a new
shape mask to be generated and uploaded to the GPU. Considering
GTK+ regenerates the opaque region on pretty much any focus change,
this is not good.
We need a MetaWaylandSurface to build a MetaSurfaceActor, but
we don't have one until we get the set_window_xid() call from
XWayland. On the other hand, plugins expect to see the window
actor right from when the window is created, so we need this
empty state.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
gnome-shell has some complex tracking to set the X input focus
correctly, assuming various things about how the stage is set up in X11.
For instance, it assumes that all actors that get key focus are
gnome-shell Chrome actors that will get events through the stage, so
when one of them is focused, it will try to set the focus back to the
stage.
In Wayland, windows are considered chrome actors that will get key
events through the stage, so this only has the result of unfocusing any
windows that have just received key focus.
We should probably move this input focus moving to mutter instead of
gnome-shell so we can better use mutter's internal state and heuristics.
In order for the compositor to properly determine whether a client
is an X11 client or not, we need to wait until XWayland calls
set_window_id to mark the surface as an XWayland client. To prevent
the compositor from getting tripped up over this, make sure that
the window has been fully initialized by the time we call
meta_compositor_add_window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

We no longer unmap the toplevel windows during normal operation. The

Call meta_compositor_add_window / meta_compositor_remove_window instead...
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Calling XIGrabDevice has no effect under wayland, because the
xserver is getting events from us. Instead, we need to use our
own interfaces for grabs.
At the same time, we can simplify the public API, as plugins
should always listen for events using clutter.

We can't use the X11 stage window, if clutter is not using the X11

the concept of "focus type", which we use to differentiate the
various meanings of None in the focus_xwindow field.

This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.

GNOME Shell's actors aren't touch capable, so we need to make sure that
they get the fallback pointer emulated events for now. This fixes the top

gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

We substract one from the unredirect counter when enable_unredirect_for_screen
gets called. It is an unsigned integer so substracting one from zero (which means enable) would overflow and thus keep it peramently enabled.
This should never happen because it means there is an unmatched
enable / disable pair somewhere. So in addition to fixing it add a
warning when this case gets triggered.

Commit 4f2bb583bf changed things so that the compositor used
clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full (CLUTTER_REPAINT_FLAGS_POST_PAINT
to get after-paint notification and send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, but this
doesn't actually work, since Clutter will already have blocked for
VBlank before calling post-paint functions.
The result is that frame synced toolkits like GTK 3.8 will normally
only be able to draw every other frame.
Since ::paint doesn't work either, a new function
clutter_stage_set_paint_callback() has been added to Clutter
(and will be included in the 1.14 branch)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698794
gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.

The hierarchy handling is handled in the shell by adding stuff
directly to the uiGroup, and we have a dedicated actor for

If _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION is set when the window is first mapped, the
initial load_properties will happen before the window actor is created,
and we'll have a call to meta_compositor_window_shape_changed. Just
fizzle this call out instead of doing anything fancy, as we'll pick
up the opaque region when the window actor is eventually created.

When windows get redirected off screen, all that gets left behind
is black. We don't want to flicker black at startup, though.
This commit maps the overlay window early, before redirecting
toplevels, so they end up getting snapshotted onto the background

Commit 4f2bb583bf started to use a clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full
callback instead of connecting to the stage's paint signal.
The callback has to return TRUE if it wants to be called again, so fix that
as we want to call it for every frame (otherwise apps supporting the WM SYNC
protocol will stop drawing).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695006
Doing so causes useless full stage redraws and breaks culling
as clutter cannot know how the signal handler affects painting.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682427
We do, in fact, need freezing to affect window geometry, so that
move-resize operations (such as an interactive resize from the
left, or a resize of a popup centered by the application) occur
atomically.
So to make map effects work properly, only exclude the initial
placement of a window from freezing. (In the future, we may want
to consider whether pure moves of a window being done in response
to a user drag should also be excluded from freezing.)
Rename meta_window_sync_actor_position() to
meta_window_sync_actor_geometry() for clarity.

The WM spec requires _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN to *always* be sent when
there is an appropriate update to the sync counter value. We were
potentially missing _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN when an application did a
spontaneous update during an interactive resize and during effects.
Refactor the code to always send _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN, even when
a window is frozen.

We previously had timestamp information stubbed out in
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. Instead of this, add a high-resolution timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN then send a _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS message
after when we have complete frame timing information, representing
the "presentation time" of the frame as an offset from the timestamp
in _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN.
To provide maximum space in the messages,_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and
_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS are not done as WM_PROTOCOLS messages but
have their own message types.

Using a "sync delay" where we wait for 2 ms after the vblank before
starting to draw the next frame provides for much more predictable
latency for applications. An application can know that if it completes
a frame any time between 8ms before the vblank to the vblank,
it will reliably be drawn on the following vblank period, rather than
having an unpredictable latency depending on whether the compositor
is currently busy drawing a frame or not.

Replace the unused meta_compositor_set_updates() with

for, especially if we're using GTK+ windows. In particular, this fixes
window menus in the XI2 port.

Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).

before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.

The "multiple plugins loaded at once" strategy was always a big fiction:
while it may be viable if you're super careful, it's fragile and requires

manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.

If we get two configure events on the root window in close
sequence, then we could get the sequence:
ConfigureNotify on the root window w1xh1
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
ConfigureNotify on the root window, w2xh2
Processed by Mutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w2, h2)
ConfigureNotify on the stage window, w1, h1)
Processed by Clutter
clutter_actor_set_size(stage, w1, h1)
<relayout happens, stage window resized by clutter>
Leaving the stage at the wrong size. To avoid fighting with Clutter,
switch to resizing the stage with XResizeWindow(), similar to how a
toplevel window is handled by a window manager.
XFixesCreateRegionFromWindow does not take the window's position into account,
which results into setting a wrong shape for windows not located on the

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed

If we have repeats on for a full-sized image, then if the background

Add code to track and draw the root window background. The advantage of doing
it here as compared to in a plugin is that we can use the visiblity smarts
of MetaWindowGroup to optimize out drawing the background when obscured.
If handling other than tracking the _XROOTPMAP_ID property is desired in the
future, more functionality like setting the background from a file or doing
cross-fades can be added.
The new background actor is exposed to plugins via meta_plugin_get_background_actor()

other displays. The actual class is not installed for public consumption at
the moment since it has no useful methods.

For various reasons (mostly the stack tracker correctly predicting the
stacking order before getting events, but also because of the processing
that the compositor does to get the actor stacking order) the compositor
can be told to sync the stack when it has nothing to do. Detect this

triggering unnecessary redraws.

Instead of setting shadow parameters on individual windows, add the
