It's only used during DND to allow use of the root window's cow window
as a DND target, because apparently gnome-shell used to think that was a
great idea to DND to the overview.
Somebody complain to gnome-shell devs about it not being a good idea if
they want it fixed.
Potentially using Wayland is a better idea though.

The DnD code for X11 adds the composite overlay window (aka COW) to the
cache.
Yet the X11 requests to get and release the COW may trigger XErrors that
we ought to ignore otherwise the client will abort.
Fixes: #3715
Whenever we communicate targets, we need to the union, otherwise
we don't tell the other side about our serialization. This makes
drops of images from gtk4-icon-browser to gimp and libreoffice
succeed in transferring data.
Fixes: #3654
When creating the output stream for a drop, we must
pass the mimetypes we support, otherwise the picking
of the right handler does not work.
Fixes: #3652
It was used by all surfaces to track 'is-mapped', but still part of the
GdkToplevelState, and is now replaced with a separate boolean in the
GdkSurface structure.
It also caused issues when a widget was unmapped, and due to that
unmapped a popover which hid its corresponding surface. When this
surface was hidden, it emitted a state change event, which would then go
back into GTK and queue a resize on popover widget, which would travel
back down to the widget that was originally unmapped, causing confusino
when doing future allocations.
To summarize, one should not hide widgets during allocation, and to
avoid this, make this new is-mapped boolean asynchronous when hiding a
surface, meaning the notification event for the changed mapped state
will be emitted in an idle callback. This avoids the above described
reentry issue.
In the gtk-demo drag-and-drop demo i can't drag anything, all I get
is:
(gtk4-demo:358993): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 09:36:19.617: Surface 0x7e1bb0 has not been mapped in GdkSeatGrabPrepareFunc
This is because GdkX11Drag.ipc_surface is not considered mapped, even
though we called gdk_x11_surface_show() on it, because the
GDK_SURFACE_STATE_WITHDRAWN flag is still set.
I added calls to gdk_synthesize_surface_state() to match what
e.g. show_popup() and gdk_x11_toplevel_present() does.
GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
Add all of the keyboard translation results in the key event,
so we can translate the keyboard state at the time the event
is created, and avoid doing state translation at match time.
We actually need to carry two sets of translation results,
since we ignore CapsLock when matching accelerators, in
gdk_event_matches().
At the same time, drop the scancode field - it is only ever
set on win32, and is basically unused in GTK.
Update all callers.
replace all uses with const char * (non-interned).
Also remove a lot fo juggling from atom to GdkAtom to string and back.
The X Atom hash table is now mapping to (again, non-interned) strings.
We were not properly converting the coordinates we
got to root coordinates. This was showing up as offsets
between the actual drop target and the area where drops
can happen, e.g. when dragging over a stack switcher
to switch pages.
We were forgetting to clean up the ::xevent signal
handler in some error cases. Move the signal connection
later, when we know the drag is going forward, and
use g_signal_connect_object to make sure the signal
handler is not forgotten.
Restructure the getters for event fields to
be more targeted at particular event types.
Update all callers, and replace all direct
event struct access with getters.
As a side-effect, this drops some unused getters.
According to XDND "The XdndLeave message cancels the session.",
issue one when cancelling a drag, so the dest side has an opportunity
to forget about the GdkDrop.
The drag source might be cached and held alive, only disposed after
future drag begin operations. Ensure the drag surface gets hidden
properly or might might stay transparent but mapped till then.
Otherwise the icon "jumps" to the cursor position with its top left when
the animation starts.
This is especially visible if the dragged item is big, like when dragging
mails in Thunderbird.
