GdkVulkanContext is deprecated and only exposed in the api because
we need it as return type of the (deprecated)
gdk_surface_create_vulkan_context() API.
This property allows explicit control over whether to draw
a black background behind offloaded content or not, instead
of relying on the theme background.
In fetch_net_wm_check_window(), before updating the wmspec_check_window, a
check is performed to verify a 15s difference between last_wmspec_check_time
and the current monotonic time.
The comment suggests that this check is done to ensure that it doesn't check
for a new check window repeatedly over and over again. While that was the case
origionally, currently the last_wmspec_check_time only gets updated when
wmspec_check_window is set, which is already checked earlier, making the time
check useless.
This check causes issues on cold boots where gtk4 applications are not able
to obtain the wmspec_check_window until 15 seconds after boot, making gtk
unable to check for extended wm_hints during that time.
Fixes: #6558
Do the backend call before changing the stacking order in the
frontend. This is necessary so the backend can look at the current
stacking order to determine if it will change.
Only commit things that have changed. In the ideal scenario, only
the texture changes from frame to frame, and all the sizing related
setup and the background stay the same, causing the least amount
of work in the compositor.
Rename things so they make more sense. The dest/source naming got
a bit unclear when we added background into the mix. Now we're going
for:
source_rect - the texture region to display
texture_rect - dimensions of the subsurface showing the texture
background_rect - dimensions of the background subsurface
bounds - union of texture_rect and background_rect
Also use this opportunity to add some api docs.
Detect a black color node below the texture node and pass that
information to the subsurface, to take advange of the single-pixel
buffer optimization.
To make this work, we need to stop using the bounds of the subsurface
node for sizing the offload, and instead use either the clip or
the texture node for that.
Make it possible for subsurfaces to have a black background on a
secondary subsurface below the actual subsurface. Using a single-pixel
buffer for that background increases the changes that the compositor
will use direct scanout for the actual subsurface.
This changes the private subsurface API. All callers have been
updated to pass an empty background rect.
This is useful for debugging offloading without having to rely
on gstreamer giving us dmabufs. To use it, set
GDK_DEBUG=force-offload
in the environment.

- Drop the confusing note about SSH access (with the old URL)
- Use modern idiomatic Meson subcommands for configuring and building
- Use `git switch` instead of `git checkout`
- Specify that you should always use merge requests, not patches
- Link to the handbook instead of the wiki
