The new tiling code, instead of based around "tiling states", is instead
based around constrained edges. This allows us to have windows that have
three constrained edges, but keep one free-floating, e.g. a window tiled
to the left has the left, top, and bottom edges constrained, but the
right edge can be left resizable.
This system also is easily extended to support corner tiling. We also,
using the new "size state" system, also keep normal, tiled, and
maximized sizes independently, allowing the maximize button to bounce
between maximized and tiled states without reverting to normal in
between. Dragging from the top will always restore the normal state,
though.

This was introduced in commit c6793d477a
to prevent window self-maximisation. It turns out that that bug seems
to have been fixed meanwhile in a different way since the reproducer
in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461927#c37 now works
fine with this special handling removed.
In fact, failing to set window->fullscreen immediately when loading
the initial set of X properties causes us to create a UI frame for a
window that sets _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN.
This, in turn, might cause the fullscreen constrain code to fail if
the window also sets min_width/min_height size hints to be the monitor
size since the UI frame size added to those makes the rectangle too
big to fit the monitor. If the window doesn't set these hints, we
fullscreen it but the window will get sized such that the UI frame is
taken into account while it really shouldn't (see the reproducer
above).

Window state like maximization and minimization should be preserved
over restarts - in a patch review, this would qualify as "needs-work",
so revert the cleanup until the issues are fixed.
This reverts commit dc6decefb5.
Stupid apps fullscreen themselves by resizing the client window to
monitor size. A monitor-sized frame rect on the other hand is perfectly
normal on monitors without struts - stop force-fullscreening those
and catch the real baddies instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730681
Realistically, the user rect contains the unconstrained window
rectangle coordinates that we want to be displaying, in case
something in the constraints change.
Rename it to the "unconstrained_rect", and change the code to always
save it, regardless of current state.
When metacity was originally being built, the purpose of the user
rect was a lot less clear. The code only saved it on user actions,
with various other calls to save_user_window_placement() and a force
mechanism sprinkled in to avoid windows being snapped back to odd
places when constraints changed.
This could lead to odd bugs. For instance, if the user uses some
extension which automatically tiles windows and didn't pass
user_action=TRUE, and then the struts changed, the window would be
placed back at the last place a user moved it to, rather than where
the window was tiled to.
The META_IS_USER_ACTION flag is still used in the constraints code
to determine whether we should allow shoving windows offscreen, so
we can't remove it completely, but we should think about splitting
out the constrainment policies it commands for a bit more
fine-grained control.

Remove extend_by_frame and unextend_by_frame. Use a dumb hack in
window.c to translate into window geometry in back. We'll soon track
all rectangles in MetaWindow in terms of the window geometry.
We try to exempt CSD windows from being forced fullscreen if they are
undecorated and the size of the screen; however, we also catch almost
all windows that *do* need to be forced fullscreen in this check, since
they also have decorations turned off.
Identify actual CSD windows by checking whether _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS is set -
GTK+ will always set this on CSD windows even if they have no invisible
borders or shadows at the current time.
We explicitly turn off the legacy-fullscreen check for native wayland windows
so we don't start legacy-fullscreening them if the new
meta_window_is_client_decorated() is later made more accurate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723029
The "original coordinates" passed into meta_window_place() were the
coordinates of the client rectangle not the frame rectangle. When
meta_window_place() didn't place because the window was manually
positioned (e.g., 'xterm -geometry +x+y') that resulted in a window
being offset by the frame dimensions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724049
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
Instead of passing around MetaFrameBorders, compute it when we need it.
This also allows us to know that we are using MetaFrameBorders only for windows
with frames (where it is meaningful) and not for frameless windows, which
can have custom borders which we need to interpret differently.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
What we want to achieve is that the dialog is visually centered
on the parent, including the decorations for both, and making sure
that CSD/frame_extents are respected.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707194
If you maximize a CSD window on a monitor without struts, it ends
up taking the whole monitor size, but it doesn't mean that the
application wants to fullscreen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708718
The window positioning is delayed in idle_move_resize() in case the application
resizes/maximizes its window quickly after its creation. The delayed
positioning uses window->user_rect because of bug 426519 comment 3 (see
meta_window_move_resize_now()).
user_rect was not set in the initial positioning, causing the delayed
positioning unable to know which monitor we use for this window. As a
consequence, the window could jump spontaneously from one monitor to another.
With this patch, the window does not jump anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556696
A lot of code did something similar to:
MetaFrameBorders borders;
if (window->frame)
meta_frame_calc_borders (window->frame, &borders);
else
meta_frame_borders_clear (&borders);
Sometimes, the else part was omitted and we were unknowingly using
uninitalized values for OR windows. Clean this up by just testing
for a NULL frame in meta_frame_calc_borders and clearing for the
caller if so.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643606
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665617
When using more than one monitor, tiled maximization can be triggered with the
pointer in one monitor while most of the window area remains in another. This
means that the maximization constraint would maximize the window into the wrong
monitor as it uses the work area size/position as target.
Fix this by using the current tile area as target size/position.

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.

There were actually *two* MetaFrameGeometry structs: one in theme-private.h,
one in frame.h. The latter public struct was populated by a mix of (void*)
casting and int pointers, usually pulling directly from the data in the private
struct.
Remove the public struct, replace it with MetaFrameBorders and scrap all
the pointer hacks to populate it, instead relying on both structs being used
in common code.
This commit should be relatively straightforward, and it should not do any
tricky logic at all, just a sophisticated find and replace.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647712
As the position of attached modal dialogs is determined entirely
by the position of the parent window, the dialog may end up
partially off-screen (especially if the dialog is wider than the
parent). In this case, diverge from the calculated position and
try to fit the dialog on-screen.

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/.

Remove --allow-unprefixed option to the scanner, and fix resulting
problems:
* theme.h and boxes.h are split into a main -header and a private
header that includes stuff that is not generally useful and
hard to introspect. Merge theme-parser.h into theme.h.
* meta_display_get_atom() and meta_window_get_window_type_atom()
are marked as (skip)
* Fix annotation: (element-type Strut) => (element-type Meta.Strut)

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.
