Owen W. Taylor 1920f211b0 Remove Mutter namespace prefix
Move all objects and functions namespaced with Mutter into the Meta namespace
to get a single consistent namespace. Changes that aren't simply changing mutter
to meta:

 MutterWindow              => MetaWindowActor
 mutter_get_windows        => meta_get_window_actors
 mutter_plugin_get_windows => meta_plugin_get_window_actors

/**
* MetaWindowGroup:
*
* This class is a subclass of ClutterGroup with special handling for
* MetaWindowActor when painting the group. When we are painting a stack
* of 5-10 maximized windows, the standard bottom-to-top method of
* drawing every actor results in a tremendous amount of overdraw
* and can easily max out the available memory bandwidth on a low-end
* graphics chipset. It's even worse if window textures are being accessed
* over the AGP bus.
*
* The basic technique applied here is to do a pre-pass before painting
* where we walk window from top to bottom and compute the visible area
* at each step by subtracting out the windows above it. The visible
* area is passed to MetaWindowActor which uses it to clip the portion of
* the window which drawn and avoid redrawing the shadow if it is completely
* obscured.
*
* A caveat is that this is ineffective if applications are using ARGB
* visuals, since we have no way of knowing whether a window obscures
* the windows behind it or not. Alternate approaches using the depth
* or stencil buffer rather than client side regions might be able to
* handle alpha windows, but the combination of glAlphaFunc and stenciling
* tends not to be efficient except on newer cards. (And on newer cards
* we have lots of memory and bandwidth.)
