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.

To deal with reentrancy from compositor plugins doing things like
moving windows between workspaces in an effect callback, update
the visible_to_compositor flag before calling into the compositor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613124
When a compositor is present, we keep the visibility state of the
compositor windows in sync with window->visible_to_compositor. We need
to do the same when enabling the compositor.

Maximized tiled windows end up with an inconsistent tile mode when
unmaximized by other means than dragging the window free (e.g.
using the unmaximize button or double clicking the title bar), so
reset the tile mode when unmaximizing.
This is not a problem for side-by-side tiling, as there are no
alternatives to dragging the window free.
When a tiled window is maximized (e.g. by clicking the title bar
button), unmaximizing the window restores the tiled state. While
this is reasonable for side-by-side tiling, it is confusing for
"maximize" tiled windows, as unmaximization has no visible effect.
Change unmaximize to only restore the tiled state of side-by-side
tiled windows.
The original patch triggered "maximize" when the window was dragged
to the top, so that the pointer was below or on the monitor edge and
above the work area's top.
If there's no chrome at the top of the monitor, so that monitor edge
and work area top fall together, the pointer cannot be moved above
the work area's top, so tiling was not triggered.
The old behavior of being able to shake loose a maximized window
overlaps with and is for the most part superceded by top edge tiling.
This commit changes the code to only enable shake loose behavior
when edge tiling is disabled.

In addition to the existing side-by-side tiling modes, this commit
adds a new "maximize" tiling mode. It allows the user to maximize
their windows (in other words, tile with the edge panels) by dragging
their window to the top edge of the monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
The meta_window_handle_mouse_grab_op_event function ensures
the tile_mode variable is in a consistent state after a drag
op is finished.
The way this is current done is:
if (!window->maximized_vertically &&
window->tile_mode != META_TILE_NONE)
window->tile_mode = META_TILE_NONE;
While valid, it doesn't "read" as well as using the
META_WINDOW_TILED_SIDE_BY_SIDE macro, since the macro is specifically
about side-by-side tiling.
This commit just changes things to use the macro and to not bother
checking the tile mode (since if we just reset it anyway, then it doesn't
matter if the value is right or wrong to begin with).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
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.

A direction parameter is passed to meta_compositor_switch_workspace(),
to indicate the direction of the switch depending on the workspace
layout.
In contrast to the switcher popup, this parameter does not take the
text direction of the locale into account. Change this, so that the
workspace switching animations move in the correct direction.

overlay_key_combo needs the same treatment as other keycodes on a
change - we should always recompute it if we have a keysym not
a keycode, and not only if the keycode hasn't already been
computed.
Simplify the keymap loading logic by unifying the different
branches; in the reorganization this patch fixes a bug where when
we got a MappingKeyboard event we wouldn't update virtual modifiers
correctly.
Based on a patch by Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>

* Select for XKB keyboard notification events explicitly; since GTK+
has selected for XKB events, delivery of old-school MappingNotify
events is disabled.
* Fix a bug where once a keycode was loaded for a key binding,
it would never be reassigned; we want to laod new keycodes for
all bindings that have a key symbol rather than a fixed
keycode.

Since we can't distinguish a ConfigureEvent that indicates a raise
from a ConfigureEvent that indicates a move, we get lots of
STACK_OP_RAISE_ABOVE events for windows that are already in the
right place in the stacking order. Avoid queueing a restack in that
case.

These functions duplicate existing properties; they are added for
convenience and to avoid the GObject property code on some
performance critical painting paths.

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.

Now that we create MetaWindow objects for override-redirect windows, we need
to check all key press events to see if they are on GTK+ widgets, not just
events that don't match a MetaWindow. This fixes a problem with alt-Tab stealing
grabs away from the window menu.

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).

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

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.

For functions (but not callback types), '(closure)' is used on the
callback parameter, and takes the name of the parameter which is
the closure/user data.
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().

The hacks we were playing by calling gdk_error_trap_push() and then
resetting the error handler are incompatible with the rewrite of
GDK error traps.
Since the new error code has some features that simplify what we
are doing (like automatically figuring out whether a XSync() is needed)
and because our custom error handler didn't have a lot of a point,
use a separate code path for GTK+ 3.0 builds that just uses the
GDK error traps straight-up without a custom error handler.

Wine sets _NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW to point to an unmapped toplevel;
this was causing much confusion because both the real window and
the unmapped window were in the window stack and mapped back to the
same MetaWindow.

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.
If the user just presses a modifier (e.g., shift) during Alt+Tab grab, we need
to keep the grab in place to allow the custom Alt+Tab handler to deal with what
might simply be a change of tabbing direction.

This patch adds a check in event_callback () to check whether the
window is override-redirect or not, and avoids unnecessarily calling
meta_window_set_user_time () if it is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606158
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.
