Similar to the region compatibility shim, we will soon need a
compatibility shim around GdkPixmap/cairo_surface_t. For now, the patch
just introduces the compatibility layer.
This patch also does not include the function
meta_gdk_pixbuf_get_from_pixmap() as that function will need special
treatment in GTK3 anyway.

Rename meta_frames_paint_to_drawable() to meta_frames_paint() and make

This commit is in preparation for the work happening in GTK3, which will
use Cairo for drawing exclusively. So it is necessary to move all
drawing code to Cairo. In this commit the "gtk2" code is used for both
gtk2 and gtk3; compatibility with newer versions of gtk3 where different
code is needed will be added subsequently.
For compatibility with older GTK versions, the file gdk2-drawing-utils.h
provides a compatibility layer.
The commit changes the API of libmutter-private.

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 widget needs to be visible and mapped for GTK3 to deliver expose
events to the widget. This is achieved by making the map function a
no-op and calling gtk_widget_show() instead of just calling
gtk_widget_realize().
Apart from making GTK think the widget is drawable, the effect is the
same.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630203
This way, we can remove the special casing in
meta_frames_paint_to_drawable().
Since the setup in meta_frames_paint_to_drawable() is relatively cheap,
doing it once per rectangle in the expose area should be fine.

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;

We don't get correct notifications for the ::cogl-texture property of
ClutterTexture in the case when we are unsetting the pixmap before calling
XFreePixmap. (This is because ClutterX11TexturePixmap is a hack on top
of ClutterTexture and we're a hack on top of that.) So we need to manually
clear everything out.
For consistency we also make sure that we drop all references to dead
textures:
- When the shape changes
- If the window pixmap texture changes without first being cleared
(this is not expected to happen)

This patch adds a check in event_callback () to check whether the

Rather than trying to find out from Clutter whether mipmap generation
can be used together with texture_from_pixmap, just always assume
it can't and use the MutterTextureTower emulation code.
This fixes a problem with our previous hack for doing the query
no longer working. In the rare cases where mipmap generation
is supported, it is unlikely to produce significantly more efficient
or better looking results than the emulation. (In terms of efficiency,
we have better knowledge of when we need to update the lower mipmaps
and when we don't than CoglTexturePixmapX11.)
Some care is taken so mutter_shaped_texture_set_create_mipmaps() works
when changed on the fly and properly discards the old mipmap levels.
This isn't necesary currently, since it can only be controlled via
envvar, but is easier than future-proofing through documentation.

At least with the Mesa/DRI implementation of GLX, calling XFreePixmap()

When we do pseudo-management on an override-redirect window, we have to be

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.

While debugging a focus problem, I noticed that Mutter had exactly

However, calling meta_set_verbose (true) results in enormous amounts

In commit d34ae764769 I switched mutter-window to ask for Raw rectangles
from the X server. This avoided 2 non synchronous and 2 synchronous X
requests per window with damage, per frame; 2 (non-sync) to
create/destroy a temporary region to copy the damage region into, 1 to
request the server to copy the damage region into a our given region and
another to fetch that region back into the client. The problem with raw
events though is that it's possible to DOS the compositor with them.
Instead of receiving an event for every bit of damage this patch instead
asks the server to only report BoundingBox changes to the damage region.

Changing the number of workspaces via an external pager relies on the gconf

This changes the way we handle Damage events so instead of getting an
event when the damage region of a pixmap becomes non-empty we now get
sent all damage rectangles and stream those all though to
ClutterX11TexturePixmap using clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_update_area()
For Clutter 1.2, ClutterGLXTexturePixmap was updated so that calls to
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_update_area are now cheap (glXBindTexImageEXT
calls are now deferred until just before painting) and since
ClutterGLXTexturePixmap is now capable of queueing clipped redraws that
can result in only updating a sub-region of the stage during a repaint
cycle (and using glXCopySubBufferMESA to present the sub-region redraw
to the front buffer) this should improve performance and reduced power
consumption for a range of use cases. (For example viewing a website
that has animated adverts doesn't force the whole screen to be redrawn
for each frame of the advert)
Besides being able to take advantage of glXCopySubBuffer to only update
a small region of the stage the fact that this patch makes Mutter now
request RawRectangles from the X server means we no longer do a
synchronous X request for a complete Damage Region for every window
damaged each frame. This should also improve performance.
CLUTTER_PAINT=redraws can be used to visualize what parts of the stage
are redrawn and with this patch applied I can open a terminal and as I
type I see that only the damaged areas of the terminal are being
redrawn.
In the case where a mutter window is created for an X Window that is
already mapped then we weren't calling mutter_window_mark_for_repair and
so we weren't calling XCompositeNameWindowPixmap e.g. for menu windows.
This doesn't get noticed because as soon as some damage gets delivered
for such windows the pixmap will be named anyway, but if we were to
change how damage is handled this would result in broken menus.
We now call mutter_window_mark_for_repair in mutter_window_new when the
given Window is already mapped.
It's nice to indicate when a title is truncated with an ellipsis.
Because themes may draw a title multiple times to draw a shadow, or
may include the window icon within the title area, we can't determine
the proper ellipsization width automatically, so add an optional
attribute to the <title/> element "ellipsize_width" which, if set,
is the width to ellipsize at.
This is only enabled if a theme version of 3.1 is required.
When it's not set, we keep the old behavior of just letting the
title be clipped with a hard edge.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591842
Sometimes you want to position something (usually the title) to be centered
with respect to the entire frame instead of centered with respect to the
individual piece currently being drawn.
This patch adds frame_x_center and frame_y_center variables that represent
the X/Y centers of the frame in the coordinate system of the piece being
drawn.
The theme version is bumped from 3.0 to 3.1 (3.0 is just the new version
system, 3.1 will have all the features we add for Mutter-2.28.)

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.
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.

The current mechanism of metacity-theme-1.xml and metacity-theme-2.xml
is not flexible for allowing small-scale additions. With this patch
we bump the major version version once more to metacity-theme-3.xml
and add a single feature:
Any element in the DTD can have an attribute:
version="[<|<=|=>|>] MAJOR.MINOR"
And it will be ignored unless the predicate is met. (< and > should
be to be entity escaped as < and >)
This allows having alternate sections of the theme file for older and
newer version.
* Required GLib version is bumped to 2.14 so we can parse versions
with a regular expression.
* We switch internal version numbers to be "1000 * major + minor"
* We keep a stack of the maximum required version for the current portion
the XML tree so that the "cannot use versions you don't require" stricture
of the old code can be made local to a subpart of the tree.
* A version on the top metacity_theme element causes the entire file to
be ignored; this allows having one metacity-theme-3.xml for version 3.2
and newer (say) and a metacity-1.xml for everything old.
Actual new features will be added starting with 3.1 - 3.0 is just the
version="" feature.

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

and mark the connection as closed. This will prevent a segfault if we
exit out of the metacity main loop and get to meta_finalize().

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.
