This is an extremely niche feature, and conflicts with the rest of our
interface being consistent about not allowing resizing while tiled or
maximized.
Putting X windows and pointers to MetaWindows into a union had a number of
problems:
- It caused awkward initialization and conditionalization
- There was no way to refer to Wayland windows (represented by
MetaWindow *) in the past, which is necessary for the MetaStackTracker
algorithms
- We never even cleaned up old MetaStackWindow so there could be
records in MetaStackWindow pointing to freed MetaWindow.
Replace MetaStackWindow with a 64-bit "stack ID" which is:
- The XID for X Windows
- a "window stamp" for Wayland windows - window stamps are assigned
for all MetaWindow and are unique across the life of the process.

Add a private hook for the test framework to get XSyncAlarmEvent events -
this will be used to implement XSyncCounter based synchronization
so that the test framework can deterministically wait until Mutter
has seen actions performed by an X11 client.

We've long used a switch statement on the grab operation to determine
where events should go. The issue with MetaGrabOp is that it's a mixture
of a few different things, including event routing, state management,
and the behavior to choose during operations.
This leads to poorly defined event routing and hard-to-follow logic,
since it's sometimes unclear what should point where, and our utility
methods for determining grab operations apart can be poorly named.
To fix this, establish the concept of a "event route", which describes
where events should be routed to.
Popups could not set the cursor image, because the cursor tracker would
ignore window cursors if we had a popup active. The correct condition to
check for is already in should_block_wayland. Rename this to the more
sensible name windows_are_interactable, and use it in the cursor tracker.
At this point there shouldn't be any system capable of running mutter
that doesn't have it and we're introducing functionality like setting
the keymap that has an hard requirement on it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734301
This function tells the obvious on X11, and implements a similar mechanism
on wayland to determine the "pointer emulating" sequence, or one to stick
with when implementing single-touch behavior.

The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.

Now that we have two connections to the X server, the idea of a
ref-counted server grab that might be held across extended portions
of code is very dangerous since we might try to use the backend
connection while the frontend connection is grabbed.
Replace the only usage (which was local) with direct
XGrabServer/XUngrabServer usage and remove the meta_display_grab()
API.

This makes sure that we see them for Wayland clients as well, and don't
time out and crash when we're accessing an invalid window / surface.
Spotted-by: Rui Matos <tiagomatos@gmail.com>
Now that we don't have to regrab to change the cursor, since it's
simply the cursor on the root window, all we have to do is update
the cursor on the screen.
Grab operations are now always taken on the backend connection, and
this breaks GTK+'s event handling.
Instead of taking a grab op, just do the handling ourselves. The
GTK+ connection will get an implicit grab, which means pointer /
keyboard events won't be sent to the rest of mutter, which is good.
It's been long enough. We can mandate support for these, at least
at build-time. The code doesn't actually compile without either
of these, so just consider that unsupported.
The idea here is that while we take a WM-side grab, like a compositor
grab or a resizing grab, we need to remove the focus from the Wayland
client.
We make a special exception for CLICKING operations, because these
are really an internal state machine while you're pressing on a button
inside a frame, and in this case, we need to not kill the focus.
A careful analysis of mutter's codebase shows that nothing actually
passes anything but 0 to this. gnome-shell has one instance, but it's
most likely a mistake.
Remove the grab_mask field and the one place in keybindings.c that uses it.
The parameter to begin_grab_op is left in for API compatibility reasons.
We previously separated out MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. mutter
would only manage one screen, but we still kept a list of screens
for simplicity.
With Wayland support, we no longer care about the ability to
manage more than one screen at a time. Remove this by killing
the list of screens, in favor of having just one MetaScreen
in MetaDisplay.
We also kill off active_screen at the same time, since it's
not necessary anymore.
A future cleanup should merge MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. To avoid
breaking API, we should probably keep MetaScreen around as a dummy
type.
display.c is getting a bit crowded. Move most of the handling
out to another file, events.c.
The long-term goal is to have generic event handling here, with
backend-specific handling for the types of windows and such.
If we have a CLICKING grab op we still need to send events to xwayland
so that we get them back for gtk+ to process thus we can't steer
wayland input focus away from it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726123
This ensures that we send the proper leave and enter events to wayland
clients.
Particularly, this solves a bug in SSD xwayland windows where clicking
and dragging on the title bar to move the window only works on the odd
turn (unless the pointer moves away from the title bar between
tries). This happens because xwayland gets a button press but doesn't
see the release so when it gets the next button press it discards it
because its pointer button tracking logic says that the button is
already pressed. Sending the proper wayland pointer leave event fixes
it since wayland clients must forget about button state at that point.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726123
This allows us to look for a match with an O(1) search instead of O(n)
which is nice, particularly when running as a wayland compositor in
which case we have to do this search for every key press event (as
opposed to only when our passive grab triggers in the X compositor
case).
We actually need two hash tables. On one we keep all the keybindings
themselves which allows us to add external grabs without constantly
re-allocating the array we were using previously.
The other hash table is an index of the keybindings in the first table
by their keycodes and mask which is how we actually match the key
press events. This second table thus needs to be rebuilt when the
keymap changes since keycodes have to be resolved then but since we're
only keeping pointers to the first table it's a fast operation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725588
The only events we handle as XIEvents are FocusIn/Out, Enter and
Leave. Motion, ButtonPress/Release, KeyPress/Release are handled
through clutter instead.
Among other things, this means we don't need to fake motion compression
by peeking over gdk event queue...
This was a bad idea, as ping/pong has moved to a client-specific
request/event pair, rather than a surface-specific one. Revert
the changes we made here and correct the code to make up for it.
This reverts commit aa3643cdde.
When a client spontaneously focuses their window, perhaps in response
to WM_TAKE_FOCUS we'll get a FocusOut/FocusIn pair with same serial.
Updating display->focus_serial in response to FocusOut then was causing
us to ignore FocusIn and think that the focus was not on any window.
We need to distinguish this spontaneous case from the case where we
set the focus ourselves - when we set the focus ourselves, we're careful
to combine the SetFocus with a property change so that we know definitively
what focus events we have already accounted for.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720558
There is now a meta_display_handle_event alongside the
meta_display_handle_xevent function which handles events in terms of
Clutter events instead of X events. A Clutter event filter is
registered so that all Clutter events will pass through this function.
The pointer event handling code from the X event version has been moved
into this new function and has been modified to use the details from
the Clutter event instead of the X event. This is a step towards
moving all of the event handling code over to use Clutter events.
Based-heavily-on-a-patch-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com>
The plan is to make a new version of meta_display_handle_event that
will accept Clutter events instead of X events and then gradually move
over the events to the new function and finally remove the X version.
Make sure that meta_display_list_windows() returns wayland windows
too, by keeping a separate hash for wayland clients.
This fixes a crash in the alt-tab code of gnome-shell.

We can't use the X11 stage window, if clutter is not using the X11
backend (and even if it was, it would be bogus when the xwayland
server is not the one clutter is talking to). Instead, we introduce
the concept of "focus type", which we use to differentiate the
various meanings of None in the focus_xwindow field.

This copies the basic input support from the Clayland demo compositor.
It adds a basic wl_seat implementation which can convert Clutter mouse
events to Wayland events. For this to work all of the wayland surface
actors need to be made reactive.
The wayland keyboard input focus surface is updated whenever Mutter
sees a FocusIn event so that it will stay in synch with whatever
surface Mutter wants as the focus. Wayland surfaces don't get this
event so for now it will just give them focus whenever they are
clicked as a hack to test the code.

gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

This will make it possible to implement input source switching in
gnome-shell using the popular modifiers-only keybinding that's

gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.

Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).

During resizing we froze window updates when configuring the
window, and unfroze the window updates when processing the
next resize. This wasn't absolutely reliable, because we might
not have a next resize. Instead tie window freezing more
directly to the current sync request value - a window is
frozen until it catches up with the last value we sent it
in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
Testing with unresponsive clients showed that there was a bug
where window->disable_sync once set, would not actually disable
sync, but it *would* disable noticing that the client was
unresponsive for the next resize. Fix that by checking for
->disable_sync before sending _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.

During compositor grabs, all global keybindings that don't go
through mutter's keybinding system are blocked. To allow other
processes to make use of it, gnome-shell will expose a simple
grab API on DBus; for this, add API to grab key combos directly
instead of parsing accelerators stored in GSettings.

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

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

frames it is drawing.

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.

Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
moving.

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/.

We want switching between the windows of an application to be an easily
accessible operation. The convenient and memorable keybinding is the
key above the tab key - but the keysym for that key isn't consistent
across different keyboard layouts.
Add code that figures out the key from the XKB geometry and a magic
keysym name "Above_Tab" that refers to this key and switch
the default binding for cycle_group to <Alt>Above_Tab. (This will
have no effect for the normal case of getting the key binding from
GConf until this patch is applied to Metacity as well.)

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().

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.
