This is specifically about managing X11 windows, not necessarily
running as an X11 compositor. By that I mean that this code is
still used for XWayland windows, and event handling is still and
modesetting / monitor management is still in core/.
This is also a fairly conservative move. We don't move anything
like screen.c or bell.c in here, even though those are really
only for X11 clients.
This is fairly simple and basic for now, with just skip_taskbar /
skip_pager, but eventually a lot of "WM policy" like this, including
move-resize, will be in subclasses for each individual surface.
_SVID_SOURCE has been deprecated in newer versions of glibc breaking
-WError; the recommended replacement of _DEFAULT_SOURCE is fairly
new, so switch to _XOPEN_SOURCE instead.
I implemented pinging, but never actually enabled the feature
properly on Wayland surfaces by setting the net_wm_ping hint to
TRUE, causing the fallback path to always be hit.
Rename net_wm_ping to can_ping so it doesn't take on an
implementation-specific meaning, and set it for all Wayland windows.
The goal here is to make MetaWindow represent a toplevel, managed window,
regardless of if it's X11 or Wayland, and build an abstraction layer up.
Right now, most of the X11 code is in core/ and the wayland code in wayland/,
but in the future, I want to move a lot of the X11 code to a new toplevel, x11/.
When _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS changes, we need to redo constraints on
the window - this matters in particular if the toolkit removes
invisible borders when a window is maximized, since otherwise
the maximized window will be positioned as if it still has
invisible borders.

Warnings that are going to the journal should be not translated:
they're not user visible, and translating them would just make
bug reporting harder (as now the developers need to understand
what the warning is saying)

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Add a new interface, gtk_shell, than can be used by gtk to
retrieve a surface extension called gtk_surface, which will be
used to communicate with mutter all the GTK extensions to EWMH
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707128
Add support for GTK application menus
To do so, we need to be able to set surface state before creating
the MetaWindow, so we introduce MetaWaylandSurfaceInitialState as
a staging area.
The gtk-shell-surface implementation would either write to the
initial state, or directly to the window.
At the same, implement set_title and set_class too, because it's
easy enough.

meta_window_is_remote compares a cached copy of the system hostname
with the hostname of the client window
(as presented by the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).
Of course, the system hostname can change at any time, so caching
it is wrong. Also, the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property won't necessarily
change when the system hostname changes, so comparing it with the
new system hostname is wrong, too.
This commit makes the code call gethostname() at the time
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE is set, check whether it's remote then, and cache
that value, rather than comparing potentially out of sync hostnames
later.

If an application provides two values in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER,
use that as a signal that the applications wants an extended behavior
where it can update the counter as well as the window manager. If the
application updates the counter to an odd value, updates of the
window are frozen until the counter is updated again to an even value.

Instead of creating a new alarm each time we resize a window
interactively, create an alarm the first time we resize a window
and keep it around permanently until we unmanage the window.
Doing it this way will be useful when we allow the application to
spontaneously generate sync request updates to indicate
frames it is drawing.

This new hint allows compositors to know what portions of a window
will be obscured, as a region above them is opaque. For an RGB window,
possible to glean this information from the bounding shape region of
a client window, but not for an ARGB32 window. This new hint allows
clients that use ARGB32 windows to say which part of the window is
opaque, allowing this sort of optimization.

Using a public method for setting the (cached) icon geometry rather
than accessing the struct members directly allows setting the icon

Simplify the set of window-property functions to remove the
unused functions:
meta_window_reload_properties_from_xwindow()
meta_window_reload_properties()
And to make:
meta_window_reload_property()
static. The code is considerably simplified by removing the
plural variants.

For maximized windows, titlebars cannot be used to reposition or
scale the window, so if an application does not use it to convey
useful information (other than the application name), the screen
space occupied by titlebars could be put to better use.
To account for this use case, a setting for requesting that windows'
titlebars should be hidden during maximization has been added to
GTK+, add support for this in the window manager.

Different bits of code were using slightly different checks to test
whether a window was an attached dialog. Add a new
meta_window_is_attached_dialog(), and use that everywhere.
Also, freeze the is-attached status when the window is first shown,
rather than recomputing it each time the caller asks, since this could
cause problems if a window changes its type after it has already been
attached, etc. However, if an attached window's parent is destroyed,
or an attached window changes its transient-for, then fix things up by
destroying the old MetaWindow and creating a new one (causing
compositor unmap and map events to be fired off, allowing the display
of the window to be fixed up).
Remove some code in display.c that tried to fix existing windows if
the gconf setting changed, but which didn't actually do anything (at
least under gnome-shell). However, if 654643 was fixed then the new
behavior with this patch would be that changing the gconf setting
would affect new dialogs, but not existing ones.

When detaching/attaching a dialog, we were only updating
appears-focused on the parent if the child itself was focused, but in
fact, we need to do it if the child has an attached child which is
focused too.
To simplify the case of detaching a focused subtree from its parent,
we change meta_window_propagate_focus_appearance() to use
@window->display->focus_window as the window to add/remove as the
attached_focus_window, and @window only as the starting point to
propagate from. That way we can propagate focus-removal up to
@window's (soon-to-be-ex-)ancestors without having to remove it from
its descendants as well.

Don't set a window's xtransient_for if it would create a loop. Since
this is the only place we ever set xtransient_for, we can therefore
assume everywhere else that it does not loop.

When the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property changes, rather than just
updating the window's theme_variant property, update its frame
style as well, so that the window decoration reflects the requested
variant. As the initial properties of a window may be read before
its frame is created, there will be cases where the change is not
picked up initially.

Since version 3.0, GTK+ has support for style variants. At the moment,
themes may provide a dark variant, which can be requested by
applications via GtkSettings. The requested variant is exported to
X11 via the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property - support this property, in
order to pick up the correct style variant in the future.

We need to redraw a window's shadow any time the value of
meta_window_appears_focused() changes. So make that into a property so
we can get notifications on it.

Sometimes on_all_workspaces is requested by the client/user, and sometimes
its calculated implicitly due to internal state. We split this up so that
we know when the user has explicitly asked for sticky window, when e.g.
setting wmspec properties or storing session info.
on_all_workspaces means this window is visible on all workspaces.
on_all_workspaces_requested, means the user explicitly made the window
sticky somehow (via imported session, _NET_WM_STATE from another wm,
toggled in the window menu, etc). It always implies on_all_workspaces is
TRUE.
Right now the only time we set on_all_workspaces is for override-redirect
windows, but later we can add a "windows on non-primary monitor are not
part of the workspace switching" feature.

When reload_net_wm_state() is called at startup to read the initial
value of _NET_WM_STATE, it was calling recalc_window_type(), but not
recalc_features(), which meant that, eg, meta->skip_taskbar would
never get initialized from meta->wm_state_skip_taskbar, which meant
that next time mutter went to update the window's _NET_WM_STATE, it
would overwrite the app-specified initial values. Fix that.
(In metacity, this bug is masked by the fact that recalc_features()
gets called when reading the intial value of WM_NORMAL_HINTS, which
comes after _NET_WM_STATE in metacity's prop_hooks_table. In mutter,
the table got reordered at some point, exposing the bug.)

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.

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.

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.
