A maximized window can't be resized from the screen edges (preserves
Fitts law goodness for the application), but it's still possible
to start a resize drag with alt-middle-button. Currently we just
don't let the user resize the window, while showing drag feedback;
it's more useful to let the user "break" out from the resize.
This provides a fast way to get a window partially aligned with
the screen edges - maximize, then alt-drag it out from one edge.
Behavior choices in this patch:
- You can drag out a window out of maximization in both directions -
smaller and larger. This can be potentilaly useful in multihead.
- Dragging a window in only one direction unmaximizes the window
fully, rather than leaving it in a horizontally/vertically
maximized state. This is done because the horizontally/vertically
maximzed states don't have clear visual representation and can
be confusing to the user.
- If you drag back to the maximized state after breaking out,
maximization is restored, but you can't maximize a window by
dragging to the full size if it didn't start out that way.
A new internal function meta_window_unmaximize_with_gravity() is
added for implementing this; it's a hybrid of
meta_window_unmaximize() and meta_window_resize_with_gravity().
Port of the metacity patch from Owen Taylor in bug 622517.

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.

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.

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.
When we do pseudo-management on an override-redirect window, we have to be
careful to augment the existing event mask, not replace it, or
delivery of pointer events will be disrupted.
When we unmanage a window, we shouldn't try to unselect events at all,
since that will interfere with event selection done by GDK.

A mismerge of the Metacity commit "4943d79 Prevent window self-maximisation"
caused the window's user set size and position to be saved *before*
actually resizing the window to the unmaximized position rather than after.
This meant that after unmaximization the window was in an inconsistent
state and anything that caused a resize to be queued (like a change in
window properties by the application) would cause it to pop back to
the maximized size and position.

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.

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.

Whether Metacity honors a raise request from an application should
not be affected by the raise_on_click setting; remove a check that
seems to have been added in error.

We currently allow XRaiseWindow when the same application (defined
by the window group) is focused, but the kind of old applications
that XRaiseWindow are frequently not setting the window group.
Expand the check to allow the same X client (defined by the looking
at client ID) to raise windows above the focus window.

Having a MetaDisplay::window-demands-attention signal allows to deal with
windows demanding attention in a cetralized fashion.
The signal is emitted when a window is created with initial demands-attention
state and/or when the state changes later on.

With the change from bug 582639, we no longer call the reload
functions for properties that are not initially set, so the
initialization of fields in window.c has to match what
window-props.c would set for a missing property.
There was only one discrepancy, window->input, which needs
to be set to TRUE by default (or a window missing a WM_HINTS
property won't get focus); we also add explicit initializers
for a couple of fields that were getting 0-initialized
to the correct default value of FALSE for consistency with
the explicit intialization of the rest of the fields.

For some consumers it's significantly more convenient to be able
to directly connect to a signal on the Window to know when
Mutter is done with it, rather than having to connect to each
Workspace object (and handle workspace additions, etc.).
Similarly, add window-created which acts globally.

When we focus a window on a different desktop, and the calc_showing
idle that hides/shows the windows gets run before we get focus events
back from X, we think that we are hiding the window with the focus
so we focus a "random" window to avoid leaving the user with no focus.
Work around this temporarily by checking display->expected_focus_window;
this isn't a perfect fix because there are cases where
display->expected_focus_window corresponds to a window we tried to
focus in the past but failed, but it makes things work fairly well.

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.
mutter-window.c originally grew an #include "window-private.h" for
window->override_redirect, but that was just fixed. However since
then it also ended up relying on a few other minor private bits.
To fix that, add meta_window_is_mapped, promote meta_window_toplevel_is_mapped
to public, and use the public MetaDisplay accessor.
When window initially maps, use the more recent of NET_WM_USER_TIME and
startup notification timestamps to compare against last known user action to
decide whether to focus the window or not. Once we show the window, clear
the initial_timestamp_set flag, so the startup notification timestamp is not
taken into account again.

Many override-redirect windows (including the Metacity UI windows!)
will have NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL set on them because of shared
code paths with normal windows in toolkits.
Some current Compositor plugins (default plugin and gnome-shell)
check type == NORMAL to determine if to run effects. While fixing
such plugins to also check if the window is override-redirect is
posisble, it seems cleanest to simply not allow any of the decorated
window types to be set on an override-redirect window and to force
these types to META_WINDOW_OVERRIDE_OTHER. This will prevent other
similar problems from showing up in the future.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590971
As a sideffect of commit a576f7a1ea, override
redirect windows of type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL do not have their
features recalculated during MetaWindow construction (same as regular
windows of type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL), so we need to set the initial
values accordingly.
Although the spec designates some window types as typically used for
override redirect windows, it does not prohibit the use of these with
managed windows, so we should not abort if we encounter one of these.

Previously, changes to the visibility of a window could be indicated
by meta_compositor_map_window(), meta_compositor_unminimize_window(),
meta_compositor_set_window_hidden(), etc, with the exact behavior
depending on the 'live_hidden_windows' preference.
Simplify this so that visibility is controlled by:
meta_compositor_show_window()
meta_compositor_hide_window()
With an 'effect' parameter provided to indicate the appropriate
effect (CREATE/UNMINIMIZE/MINIMIZE/DESTROY/NONE.)
The map state of the window is signalled separately by:
meta_compositor_map_window()
meta_compositor_unmap_window()
And is used only to control resource handling.
Other changes:
* The desired effect on show/hide is explicitly stored in
MetaWindow, avoiding the need for the was_minimized flag.
At idle, once we calculate the window state, we pass the
effect to the compositor if it matches the new window
state, and then clear the effect to start over for future
map state changes.
* meta_compositor_switch_workspace() is called before any windows
are hidden or shown, allowing the compositor to avoid hiding
or showing an effect for windows involved in the switch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582341
* Handling of post-effect cleanups for MutterWindow are
simplified - instead of trying to do different things based
on the individual needs of different effects, we just wait until
all effects complete and sync the window state to what it
should be.
* On unmap, once we destroy the pixmap, we tell ClutterX11Pixmap
that we've done so, so it can clean up and unbind. (The
unbinding doesn't seem to be working properly because of
ClutterGLXPixmap or video driver issues.)

Add a paint function that checks all windows for repair and
shape updates; this:
- simplifies the logic for when a window needs to be repaired
- avoids duplicate work when we get multiple damage effects
- avoids the need to look ahead in the event queue
Instead of relying on repair to implicitly resize the
MutterWindow actor, set the size explicitly when the core
code updates the geometry. (This is needed because we haven't
repaired yet when we start an animation, and the animation
may depend on the size to, e.g., rescale from the center.)
Because the core geometry update happens before we start
maximize/unmaximize effects we need to work around this by
passing both the old and new geometry to the compositor.

Remove a number of functions that were either entirely unimplemented
or had empty implementations for the Clutter-compositor.
meta_compositor_begin_move()
meta_compositor_update_move()
meta_compositor_end_move()
meta_compositor_set_active_window()
meta_compositor_free_window()

Now that we only have one compositor, there's no reason to access the
compositor functions through a vtable. Remove the MetaCompositor virtualization
and make the clutter code implement the meta_compositor_* functions
directly.
Move the checks for the compositor being NULL from the vtable wrappers
to the calling code (most of them were already there, so just a few
needed to be added)
Note: the compositor is actually hard-coded on at the moment and the plan
is to remove the non-composited code entirely, so the checks are
added only to keep things neat: they have no practical effect.
