Wayland support is not really a "backend" thing, it just lacked a better
place to store its instance pointer. Eventually we'll have a better
place, but prepare for that by initializing it together with the more
similar subsystems.

The rest of debug flag details are in util.c and util.h, make things
less scattered by moving the rest to util.c too.
While at it, put the coredump:ability setting needed for being suid
there too, so we have a common place for initializing "debug utils".

MetaDisplay does a lot of things, and is a central part to anything
window management. To let Wayland units have an easier time tearing
down, make it so that the Wayland infrastructure is terminated before
MetaDisplay.
This also makes sure that X11 support is turned off, so that we don't
stumble upon Xwayland terminating due to the Wayland socket connection
being broken. Will mitigate that in a better way in a later commit.

In case the shell ignores or can't accept the restart request we should
hide the message that has been just requested to be shown.
As per ::show-restart-message signal documentation, this has to be done by
emitting the signal with a NULL message.

In non-systemd managed session we are unable to start services on
demand. Instead, gnome-session will start everything at login time,
including any X11 related service (i.e. gsd-xsettings).
However, in order to start gsd-xsettings, Xwayland needs to be started
already. Otherwise it will connect to GNOME_SETUP_DISPLAY and login will
hang at that point.
Fix this by detecting whether mutter is running in a systemd unit. If it
is, we assume that we are systemd managed and the machinery to start the
services works fine. If not, we assume that the session management may
unconditionally try to start X11 related services and Xwayland must be
started in order to not block this.

Make it possible to create persintent virtual monitors using command
line argument. This will not be the only way to create virtual monitors,
the primary way will be using the screen cast API, but using command

It's useful to be able to have very very tiny monitors (e.g. 60x60
pixels) when doing reference testing, as tests have reference images
that the output is compared to. Smaller reference images the less
storage they use.
To avoid annoying pointless warnings when this is done, change the
pedantic workspace work area code to be more forgiving if the work area
happens to match the display size.

Handle the case of a TOUCH_BEGIN event during window dragging separately

Window dragging should be cancelled when the touch sequences we're using
are no longer available. Also listen to TOUCH_CANCEL events if the
window is grabbed and cancel the grab op when a TOUCH_CANCEL event
happens.

Make sure to reset all the state that was set for an interactive grab op
back to the defaults after a grab op has ended.
Especially important here is setting grab_frame_action back to FALSE,
since this will constrain window-titlebars to the panel. We set this to
TRUE on some grabs, for example when resizing, but not when moving
windows. Since this remained being set to TRUE, it would also constrain
non-grab window movements, like calling MetaWindow.move_frame(), which
is used by gnome-shells OSK. By resetting it back to FALSE after a grab,
the OSK can now always move non-maximized windows to the position it
wants.

Commit afa43154 tried to make sure the focus was properly changed when
calling focus_default_window() by checking the focused window just after
trying to set the focus.
However, the X11 “Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual” version
2.0 (ICCCM 2 for short) states that some X11 client may want to use a so
called “globally active input” model in which case the client expects
keyboard input and set input focus even when it's not one of its own
window.
To comply with this, when dealing with such clients, mutter will not
change the focus and send a WM_TAKE_FOCUS message instead.
That mechanism will defeat the logic introduced by commit afa43154
because the focused window is not changed in this case. As a result, the
input focus will fallback to the no-focus window.
To avoid this, only check that the focus change occurred for windows
using a synchronous focus model.
v2: Split specific test for "globally active input" model (Florian).
v3: Remove the check for window->unmanaging which is useless (Jonas).

X11 clients can use different models of input handling, of which some
may not result focus being set synchronously.
For such clients, meta_focus_window() will not change the focus itself
but rely on the client itself to set the input focus on the desired
window.
Add a new MetaWindow API to check when dealing with such a window.

GObject signals pass the emitting GObject as the first argument to
signal handler callbacks. When refactoring the grab-op-begin/end signals
to remove MetaScreen with commit 1d5e37050d,
the "screen" argument was replaced with a "display" argument instead of
being removed completely. This made us call the signal handlers with two
identical MetaDisplay arguments, which is very confusing and actually
wasn't handled in a grab-op-begin handler in gnome-shell.
So fix this by not adding the MetaDisplay as an argument to those
signals, GObject will take care of that for us.

When a transfer request is done to the MetaSelectionSourceRemote source,
it's translated to a SelectionTransfer signal, which the remote desktop

A timeout (set to 15 seconds) is added to handle too long timeouts,
which cancels the transfer request.

Since commit c255031b6d, we allow some modifier+scroll events to
pass through to Clutter to enable gnome-shell to handle them. That
action shouldn't trigger a modifier-only action at the same time, so
reset the corresponding tracking just like we do for modifier+click.

Since commit c255031b6d we pass scroll-events through to
the compositor if the window_grab_modifiers are pressed;
in order to allow gnome-shell to check for those events,
expose the struct member as a MetaDisplay property.
Also take the opportunity to pick a more generic name, now
that the modifier is no longer used exclusively for mouse
clicks (unless we maintain the notion of scroll events as
button 4 and 5 "clicks").

We remove pending pings when unmanaging a window, but currently
don't prevent new pings to be scheduled after that.
The previous commit fixed a code path where this did indeed happen,
but as the result of gnome-shell trying to attach a Clutter actor
to a non-existent window actor is pretty bad, also guard can_ping()
against being called for an unmanaging window.

This seems to have been the default in the past, but was (accidentally?) modified

<super> is considered a system modifier, and applications cannot use it

find_focusable_ancestor() may pick an ancestor window which is not
mapped or hidden, and setting focus on that window will fail.
Be a tad more selective when looking for a focusable ancestor, to reduce
the chance of meta_window_focus() not focusing the happy chosen one.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1643>
The function focus_default_window() optionally takes a MetaWindow
argument denoting a window that should not be focused.
That function calls focus_ancestor_or_top_window() which in turn
calls meta_window_focus() to pass focus to another window.
However meta_window_focus() gives no guarantee that the given window
will end up being the one focused, and can fail in various and creative
ways.
If that fails, we could possibly end up with the focus window being the
one to avoid, while the caller assumes focus was changed, going as far
as asserting that fact like meta_window_unmanage() does.
As a result, mutter may abort simply because meta_window_focus() failed
to set focus on the expected window.
To avoid that issue, check that the focus did not end up on the window
that we explicitly did not want, and if that's the case, simply fallback
to the default focus window.

Making this an event is overly convoluted, accounting that we
emit the event, then convert it to a ClutterStage signal, then
its only consumer (a11y) sets the active ATK state.

The stack and stack tracker tend to cause missed frames from time to
time, especially when there are many open windows. Add some
instrumentation to make it this easily verifiable when profiling.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1616>
Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.

These use now more of a "pull" model, where they receive update
notifications and the relevant input position is queried, instead
of the coordinates being passed along.
This allows to treat cursor renderers all the same independently
of the device they track. This notifying of position changes should
ideally be more backend-y than core-y, a better location will be
figured out in future commits.

Commit 03c69ed8 ("Do not go past size hints on resize") was meant to
ensure the size hints set by the client would be honored during resize,
as going past those values could cause the window to move on resize.
However, it did so by calling ensure_size_hints_satisfied() which works
with the frame rect rather than the client rect. As a result, the
minimum size enforced would end up being larger than expected with
client-side decorations.
Use meta_window_maybe_apply_size_hints() instead which automatically
adjusts for client size.

Bug 448183 fixed an issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW not moving a
window by basing the resize on the current (new) rectangle instead of
the original rectangle.
While this fixes the issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, this also
causes windows with a size increment to move when the resize also
implies a move, such windows might drift while resizing.
Make sure to use the current rectangle for non-interactive resizes only.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/543
On interactive resize, mutter calculates the difference in size based on
the pointer location and relies on window constraints to ensure the
minimum size is honored.
Wayland however does asynchronous window configuration, meaning that not
checking for size hints early enough may lead to the window moving as
the locations was initially computed on a size which will be invalidate
by the client eventually.
Make sure to respect the client size hint on update_resize() so that we
don't end up with a window moving unexpectedly when the client
eventually acked the configuration.

Aligning windows manually with other windows has become less important
since the advent of tiling. This decreases the usefulness of edge
resistance, which in fact many users perceive as lag nowadays.
Account for that by limiting resistance to screen and monitor edges by
default, and only include windows when the control key is pressed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679609
Commit 033f0d11bf added a fallback in case the tile monitor wasn't
set before, but didn't actually check for a previously set value.
As a result, the "fallback" is not set unconditionally, which may
differ from the expected monitor: The tile monitor is determined
by the pointer position, while the window's monitor is the one
where the biggest part of the window resides on.

meta_run() is still left intact and does the same as before; the new

The delete event was used for signalling the close button was clicked on

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

X11 window stacking operations are by nature prone to race conditions.
For example, we might queue a "raise above" operation, but before it

happen. Downgrade these warnings to debug messages, only printed when
