We want switching between the windows of an application to be an easily
accessible operation. The convenient and memorable keybinding is the
key above the tab key - but the keysym for that key isn't consistent
across different keyboard layouts.
Add code that figures out the key from the XKB geometry and a magic
keysym name "Above_Tab" that refers to this key and switch
the default binding for cycle_group to <Alt>Above_Tab. (This will
have no effect for the normal case of getting the key binding from
GConf until this patch is applied to Metacity as well.)

It may be desirable for theme authors to treat side-by-side tiled
windows differently, for instance to give the edge-touching border
a width of 0, so add additional frame states for tiled windows.

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.

Currently, the new tiling feature, supports side-by-side, horizontal
tiling when dragging windows to one of the vertical edges of a monitor.
Other types of tiling (on other monitor edges) are potentially useful,
though.
This commit renames the preference from side_by_side_tiling to
edge_tiling.

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()
similar to other exposed actors to allow cloning the background for use in
other displays. The actual class is not installed for public consumption at
the moment since it has no useful methods.

These functions duplicate existing properties; they are added for
convenience and to avoid the GObject property code on some
performance critical painting paths.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592382
Instead of setting shadow parameters on individual windows, add the
idea of a "shadow class". Windows have default shadow classes based
on their frame and window type, which can be overriden by setting
the shadow-class property.
Each shadow class has separably configurable parameters for the
focused and unfocused state. New shadow classes can be defined with
arbitrary names.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592382
Frame types will form the bases of shadow classes, which are strings,
so export the to-string function so that we can do the conversion
uniformly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592382
The basic MetaShadowFactory type is moved to a public header, while
the functions to fetch and paint shadows are kept private.
The public object will be used for configuration of shadows by
plugins.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592382
Add a new frame type META_FRAME_TYPE_ATTACHED which is used for
attached modal dialogs.
The theme format version is bumped to 3.2, and attached windows
can have borders defined in a metacity-theme-3.xml as:
<window version=">= 3.2" type="attached" style_set="[name]"/>
If no style is defined for "attached", drawing will fall back
to the "border" type.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633133
meta_display_process_key_event() always looks up events based on the
"default" keysym for the keycode, so we should do the same here. This
fixes, eg, the lookup of Shift-Alt-Tab (which would otherwise be
unrecognized because the keysym would be XK_ISO_Left_Tab rather than
XK_Tab).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632155
Remove --allow-unprefixed option to the scanner, and fix resulting
problems:
* theme.h and boxes.h are split into a main -header and a private
header that includes stuff that is not generally useful and
hard to introspect. Merge theme-parser.h into theme.h.
* meta_display_get_atom() and meta_window_get_window_type_atom()
are marked as (skip)
* Fix annotation: (element-type Strut) => (element-type Meta.Strut)

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
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628520
In many places, MetaRegion was being used entirely internally, rather
than for gtk2/gtk3 compatibility. In these cases, it's simpler to just
depend on cairo-1.10 (for both gtk2 and gtk3) and use cairo_region_t.
The few places where we did need GDK compatibility (GdkEvent.region and
gdk_window_shape_combine_mask) are replaced with a combination of
converting GdkRegion to cairo_region_t and conditional code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632474
Currently mutter-window has its own type field, even though the same
information is already present in meta_window.
And while at it get rid of MetaCompWindowType, it is equally redundant.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630363
When dragging a window over a screen edge and dropping it there,
maximize it vertically and scale it horizontally to cover the
corresponding half of the current monitor.
Whenever a "hot area" which triggers this behavior is entered, an
indication of window's target size is displayed after a short delay
to avoid distraction when moving a window between monitors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606260
Add a preference /apps/mutter/general/attach_modal_dialogs. When true, instead
of having independent titlebars, modal dialogs appear attached to the titlebar
of the parent window and are moved together with the parent window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612726
Cleanly build with --warn-fatal. Implementation:
* Liberally apply (skip) where the API is clearly C only, e.g. uses
XLib. The theming code and MutterPlugin are skipped too.
* Add missing (transfer) and (element-type) annotations
For a few functions that had a comment, I turned it into gtk-doc, but
I didn't (with a few exceptions) try to write new documentation in
this pass.
Export a boxed type for MetaRectangle; this is mostly of interest
because GdkRectangle has been turned into a typedef for
cairo_rectangle_int_t which causes massive problems for using it from
gobject-introspection based language bindings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623335
The current effect API passes an unnecessary list of windows to
switch_workspace() and forces a window to be passed in when killing
the switch_workspace() effect.
We can simplify the interface to correspond more closely to how
it is actually used and fix these problems:
Remove the actors parameter to plugin->switch_workspace
Remove the events parameter to plugin->kill_effect and rename it to kill_window_effects
Add plugin->kill_switch_workspace
Remove mutter_plugin_manager_kill_effect
Add mutter_plugin_manager_kill_window_effects
Add mutter_plugin_manager_kill_switch_workspace
Remove mutter_plugin_effect_completed
Add mutter_plugin_[minimize/map/destroy/maximize/unmaximize]_completed
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621082
It's useful for plugins to be able to easily detect whether
or not a window is from a remote host. Also, make use of this
in the window delete codepath, instead of looking up the hostname
each time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620585
While debugging a focus problem, I noticed that Mutter had exactly
the debug statements I wanted under the META_DEBUG_FOCUS topic.
However, calling meta_set_verbose (true) results in enormous amounts
of other messages, and it's inconvenient to filter after having
started mutter.
This patch allows one to call Meta.add_debug_topic(Meta.DebugTopic.FOCUS)
from a console, and get just what one wants.

This function returns xid of the WM leader window (as defined by the
_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK mechanism of EWMH). For use by plugins that wish to
attach custom properties to this window.

A per-window _MUTTER_HINTS property allowing plugins to use custom hints. The
property holds a colon separated list of key=value pairs; plugin-specific keys
must be suitably namespaced, while 'mutter-' prefix is reserved for internal
Mutter use only.
This commit adds MetaWindow::mutter-hints property, and
meta_window_get_mutter_hints() accessor, as well as the internal machinery for
reading and updating of the hints.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613123
Allow a plugin to redirect preferences from one GConf location
to another GConf location. This is useful for keys that need to be
set differently in a plugin-managed environment (like GNOME Shell)
as compared to in standalone Metacity.
Overriding is implemented by overwriting the keys in the arrays
of preferences; a list of the current overrides is stored to allow
proper memory management when an override is itself overriden.
(we need to know whether to free the old keys or not)
This patch cleans up the comments in prefs.c a bit as well; some ideas
about less-exciting potential improvements were removed to make the
comments explaining the structure easier to figure out.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615586
Rather than using the plugin objects constructed() method for doing
setup that requires the MetaScreen, add an explicit start() method
that is called after the screen is set.
The reason for this is that this allows plugin objects to be created
early before the bulk of Metacity setup, which then allows plugins
to affect how the setup happens. (For example, to change the way
that preferences are loaded.)
This is an incompatible change, since 'screen' is now not set in the
constructed method, so the plugin API version is bumped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615586
It makes more sense because the grave key is close
to the tab and escape keys which the other cycle
keybindings use.
This always works better for gnome-shell, which
switchings between applications by default with alt-tab.
The user can now alt-tab to the application they want,
and then move their finger to the grave key to select
the window they want.
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.)
There was a problem where if, for example, a restack was triggered
out of a clutter event handler, then after Clutter processed the
events, it would proceed immmediately on to repaint the stage without
ever returning control to the GLib main loop. So even though we
had an idle handler installed with a higher priority than the
Clutter stage repainting the clutter stage repainting would happen
first and we'd get a wrong frame.
Fix this by introducing the idea of "later functions", which abstract
the idea of "doing something later" away from g_idle_add() and use
a combination of GLib idle functions and Clutter "repaint functions"
to get our callbacks triggered at the right time, even when they
are installed from a clutter event handler.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596334
This also resolve a FIXME where MUTTER_PRIORITY_BEFORE_REDRAW
could starve stage repainting.
