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
a bit of infrastructure that we would be better off without.
Note that for simplicity, we're keeping the MetaPluginManager, but it only
manages one plugin. A possible future cleanup would be to remove it entirely.

We may not show the backtrace, but it's prohibitly expensive to generate,
so don't. If someone wants a backtrace they can use the appropriate G_DEBUG
environment variable plus GDB.

Require the headers for "XFree86" Xinerama to be present at compile
time. The older "Solaris" Xinerama is only needed for versions of
Solaris where Mutter is unlikely to work. Solaris 10 and 11 include
the XFree86 Xinerama libraries, and apparently that's the only version
that will actually work for Solaris 11, which uses Xorg.

meta_run() calls meta_finalize() after the main loop exits, which ends
up calling meta_display_close(), which calls
meta_quit(META_EXIT_SUCCESS), meaning that any exit status passed to
the original meta_quit() call is lost.
Fix this by ignoring meta_quit() calls after the main loop is no
longer running.

As a library, libmutter should not be setting the default translation
domain to point to itself.
Also, move the bindtextdomain() call earlier
(meta_get_option_context), so that translations of command-line
options will be available.
We could call textdomain() in mutter.c, but there's no need to, since
mutter uses dgettext() everywhere anyway.

This made sense back in the day of stateless window managers,
but gnome-shell isn't. gnome-session will handle gnome-shell
crashing, since it's a required component.

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
headers back into core/ or ui/.

Move all of the mutter code into a new libmutter-wm.so, split its
main() method into meta_get_option_context(), meta_init() and
meta_run(), add methods for using in-process plugins, and add
libmutter-wm.pc pointing to the new library.
The mutter binary is now just a tiny program that links against
libmutter-wm. The --version and --mutter-plugins options are handled
at the mutter level, not in libmutter-wm, and a few strange unused
command-line options (--no-force-fullscreen and --no-tab-popup) have
been removed.

meta_restart() was broken, in that it restarted mutter with what was
left of argv after GOption and Clutter had possibly modified it.
Rather than try to fix this, just remove it.

Revert the early_initialize changes (which get in the way in the
"libmutter-wm" paradigm), remove the GConf key for setting plugins,
and remove plugin "params", which weren't being used. Also remove all
the logic for unloading and reloading plugins, since the list never
changes after startup now.

For GNOME Shell, we need to grab our DBus names *before* we talk XSMP.
gnome-session takes our XSMP connection as "I'm ready", and starts
running all the other random crud that people dropped in as autostart
files. But for example, we need to have claimed
org.freedesktop.Notifications before a lot of said crud starts.
This requires a plugin API version bump.
Misc: Move handling of --version way earlier in main() where
it should be; no point having it wedged after plugin handling.
On gcc-4.4 (void)<expr> doesn't suppress warnings from
__attribute__((warn_unused_result)), so use
G_GNUC_UNUSED (which expands to __attribute__((unused))) instead
of removing a dummy variable.

This patch removes the ability to disable compositing in mutter. As
clutter compositing was the reason for the fork from metacity, turning
compositing off does not make sense.

While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

Move all objects and functions namespaced with Mutter into the Meta namespace
to get a single consistent namespace. Changes that aren't simply changing mutter
to meta:
MutterWindow => MetaWindowActor
mutter_get_windows => meta_get_window_actors
mutter_plugin_get_windows => meta_plugin_get_window_actors

Although multi-screen support has not been tested and probably
doesn't fully work, the basic setup for multi-screen is that
we have the same list of plugins for all screens, but a different
instance of the plugins for each screen.
To allow plugins to do setup that is screen independent and needs
to occur early in the setup process, we identify a "default plugin
manager" and load (but not start) that plugin manager's plugins
immediately after we know our list of plugins.
That plugin manager is then reused for the first screen we open
and the plugins are started at that time. Separate plugin managers
are loaded and started for any other screens we open.
(A plugin could keep track of whether the screen-independent
setup has been done in a static variable, or it could do everything
in a way that is safe to do repeatedly.)

(This is inspired by Metacity commit 45cbaa2 by Thomas Thurman, but
much simpler - the use of g_date_strftime("%Y") ended up being just
%d for all 90+ current translations)
The commit that removed metacity-dialog added a global SIGCHLD handler
that caused problems by (a) calling waitpid(-1) and thus breaking
g_child_watch for everyone else, and (b) doing too much from a signal
handler and sometimes causing deadlocks (bug 596200).
This removes the global handler and has each zenity user create its
own child watch to watch for exit. (It also fixes the window class of
the zenity dialogs, so that meta_window_present_delete_dialog() will
work again.)
Mutter is a Clutter-based compositing manager. So, remove the code for
the XRender-based compositor, and make it mandatory to have XComposite,
XRender and Clutter.
Run-time support for non-composited operation is left for now.
* src/compositor/mutter/: Move files from this subdirectory into
the main compositor/ directory.
* compositor/compositor-xrender.ccompositor/compositor-xrender.h:
Remove
* include/compositor-clutter.h: Remove this stray file, it had been
replaced with compositor-mutter.h some time back.

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Build a XML gir file and binary typelib file for the interfaces that
we are installing for plugin use. They are installed into $(pkglibdir)
since they are private to the application.

* src/core/main.c: (main): added call to g_thread_init(), as ORBit2
stopped doing it and Metacity is using gconf; closes#565517.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4063
2008-11-22 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
* src/core/all-keybindings.h: "backward", not "backwards" throughout.
2008-11-20 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
* configure.in: turned on -Wall and -Werror in order to
trap as many problems as possible.
* src/ui/resizepopup.c: added correct #include.
* src/ui/theme-viewer.c: initialised variable.
* src/core/xprops.c: corrected cast.
* src/core/main.c: added warning if chdir() fails.
* src/core/schema-bindings.c: checking the return
result of fgets().
2008-11-20 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
Merged screen and window keybinding tables so that
we can use just one file for the both. Also incidentally
closes#528337. Further efficiencies of scale to come.
* src/include/prefs.h: replace META_PREF_*_KEYBINDINGS
with META_PREF_KEYBINDINGS
* src/core/keybindings.c: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
and similar throughout; all window-based functions are now
guaranteed to receive a window so don't need to check for
themselves
(find_handler): moved so it can also be called from
rebuild_binding_table
* src/core/display-private.h: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
* src/core/prefs.c: update_*_binding becomes update_key_binding;
(change_notify): tidy up references to "enormous if statement"
since it's almost entirely gone now
* src/core/all-keybindings.h: new merged version of
screen-bindings.h and window-bindings.h.

When multiple events are generated from a single event (for example,
when a motion event generates an enter/leave pair), events accumulate
in the clutter event queue if the clutter event source is not running.
Add a simple event source that checks clutter_events_pending() and
dispatches events as necessary.
src/core/main.c: Add --mutter-plugins argument (overrides GConf value)
src/core/prefs.c src/include/prefs.h: Add meta_prefs_override_clutter_plugins()
to set a value for clutter_plugins that overrides the value from GConf
2008-10-22 Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@freebsd.org>
* src/core/main.c (meta_finalize, sigterm_handler): new functions
* src/core/main.c (main): add sigterm_handler in case we receive
a SIGTERM. Closes#553980.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3974
2008-08-31 Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
* src/core/prefs.[ch] (meta_prefs_set_compositing_manager): new
