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.

* 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.

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.

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).

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

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.

Cleanly build with --warn-fatal. Implementation:

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Add a configure switch:
--with-libcanberra=[yes/no/auto]
(defaulting to auto); if libcanberra is not found or explicitly
disabled, then the default system bell will be used for the bell
sound and no switch workspace sound is played.

These sounds are good candidates for caching in the sound server, to
save a bit of CPU and make reaction faster. Hence, tell libcanberra to
cache them.

Right now metacity issues only 1 bell event per second. This is
feels buggy when triggering multiple alarm sounds in a terminal.
This patch simple increases the limit to 1/100ms. 100ms is probably a
good choice since the HIG recommends that all user reaction should
happen within 100ms. With this applied pressing 'Left' in gnome-terminal
feels much more responsive.

metacity tries to do the right thing, by preloading all the relevant
directories before getting the keys one-by-one, but GConfClient isn't actually
smart enough to avoid server roundtrips in this case. That should certainly be
fixed in GConf.
In the meantime, here is a patch that reworks the metacity prefs initialization
to avoid roundtrips for individual keys anyway, by using
gconf_client_all_keys().

The ICE connection is opened by libSM; we can't just close it when

Windows demanding attention should never appear in the alt-tab list
unless they're of a type which might have appeared there anyway. This
solves a problem under AWN where docks which were marked as demanding
attention appeared in all alt-tab lists; they were irrelevant and it

(This is inspired by Metacity commit 45cbaa2 by Thomas Thurman, but
much simpler - the use of g_date_strftime("%Y") ended up being just
%d for all 90+ current translations)
meta_workspace_set_builtin_struts() is slightly expensive; it involves
discarding all our cached computed information about the layout of the
workspace. So catch calls to set_builtin_struts() that don't change
anything.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609546
Since meta_workspace_invalidate_work_area() frees the edges
workspace->screen_edges and workspace->monitor_edges, we must clean up
our cached edge resistance data when the invalidate_work_area() is
called on the active workspace, or when the workspace changes.
Make the computation of the edge resistance data lazy so that it
will be recomputed the next time we try to access it.
meta_display_compute_resistance_and_snapping_edges() is made
private to edge-resistance.c
Invaliding the data when active workspace changes also will improve
correctness for edge resistance when the current workspace changes
during a grab operation. (Even with this fix we still don't try to
handle window positions changing during a grab operation; that can't
cause a crash since, unlike screen and monitor edges, the window edges
are freshly allocated, it will just cause slight oddness in that
corner case.)
Root cause tracked down due to much effort by Jon Nettleton.

When putting 32-bit properties into longs on 64-bit architectures,
XGetWindowProperty assumes the values are supposed to be signed, and
so it sign-extends values greater than 0x7fffffff. So if they *aren't*
supposed to be signed, we need to chop off the high bits ourselves.
(Most CARDINAL-valued properties only end up using small values
anyway, so it doesn't matter, but _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY uses the full
range, and so was previously failing on 64-bit machines.)

The commit that removed metacity-dialog added a global SIGCHLD handler
that caused problems by (a) calling waitpid(-1) and thus breaking
g_child_watch for everyone else, and (b) doing too much from a signal
handler and sometimes causing deadlocks (bug 596200).
This removes the global handler and has each zenity user create its
own child watch to watch for exit. (It also fixes the window class of
the zenity dialogs, so that meta_window_present_delete_dialog() will
work again.)
