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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Changing the number of workspaces via an external pager relies on the gconf
key; if a plugin adds or removes workspaces on the fly, we can get into a
situation when the stale number stored by the preferences matches the new
number requested by the pager, in which case the pager request becomes a nop.
This commit ensures that when the meta_screen_append_new_workspace() or
meta_screen_remove_workspace() functions are called, the stored value is
updated accordingly.

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.

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.)

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.

The change to using gconf_client_all_entries() in commit 2d57b1b4
meant that workspaces without a GConf key for their name were not
getting a name at all. Fix this by doing a post-processing loop
to set workspace names that were not otherwise set.
Alternate to patch from Tomas Frydrych
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613136
The change to reduce GConf trips by using
gconf_client_all_entries() broke the fallback to builtin values
because update_binding() was no longer called for bindings not
found in GConf. Fix this by keeping track of the bindings we
find from GConf in a hash table, then looping through and setting
all the bindings at the end.
This also improves efficiency by avoiding a linear scan for each
binding in GConf.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609710
When we are reading bindings initially, update_list_binding() needs
to be passed the correct "string list type" since we are calling
it with a list of strings instead of a list of GConfValue.

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.

When we are moving a window with a modal dialog to a different
workspace, meta_workspace_focus_default_window() can be called
with 'not_this_one' being the focused modal dialog.
Since the ancestor of that window is also being moved, we must
not focus it as an alternative to the current window; this will
cause windows to be moved back and Metacity to get into an
inconsistent confused state.

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.

When started without session related command line parameters (e.g. from
gnome-session), metacity picks up client_id from the DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID
environment variable. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish if this was
passed from a config file, representing old saved session, or generated by
gnome-session, therefore load_state is attempted in each case. If the client_id
is generated, there will be no session file, and metacity will report a
warning.
Just remove the warning so that users won't always find a warning at the
start of their .xsession-errors.
