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 changes to enforce single handling of all key events were breaking
custom-alt-tab keypress handlers, since that code was assuming that
key event would get to process_tab_grab(), and then maybe to
process_event() and then to the plugin's xevent_filter to detect a
key release.
We centeralize all of this handling into process_tab_grab() and either
- Invoke a custom handler for the key press
- Select the current window on modifier release by calling a new
pseudo-binding "tab_popup_select"
- Cancel the grab on an unbound key by calling a new pseudo-binding
"tab_popup_cancel"

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Add a keybinding (defaulting to <Control><Shift><Alt>r) to record
a screencast of the session. This isn't hooked up to anything in
metacity itself, but a plugin can connect to a signal on MetaScreen.
keybindings.c all-keybindings.h: Add the keybinding
screen.c: Add a ::toggle-recording signal
