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.

If we want to add an EGL implementation for the X11 backend, we are
going to need to move the GLX bits into their own class. The first step
is to declare GdkX11GLContext as an abstract type, and then subclass it
into a GdkX11GLContextGLX type, which includes the whole GLX
implementation.
commit 14bf58ec5d dropped support
for using the DAMAGE extension since there was no code that
needed it.
We're going to need it again, however, to address an NVidia
vendor driver issue.
This commit does the plumbing to add it back.
We don't need all of them, only the ones that contain public API. This
allows us to reduce the chance of a stray symbol getting incorrectly
added to the introspection data.
We use a compilation symbol in our build to allow the inclusion of
specific headers while building GTK, to avoid the need to include only
the global header.
Each namespace has its own compilation symbol because we used to have
different libraries, and strict symbol visibility between libraries;
now that we have a single library, and we can use private symbols across
namespaces while building GTK, we should have a single compilation
symbol, and simplify the build rules.
And make the GdkCairoContext as abstract.
The idea of this and thje following commits is to get rid of all
Cairo code in gdksurface.c (and $backend/gdksurface-$backend.c)
by moving that code into the Cairo context files.
In particular, the GdkSurfaceClass.begin_frame/end_frame()
functions (which are currently exclusively used by the Cairo code
should end up being moved to GdkDrawContextClass.begin/end_frame().
This has multiple benefits:
1. It unifies code between the different drawing contexts.
GL lives in GLContext, Vulkan in VulkanContext and Cairo in
CairoContext. In turn, this makes it way easier to reason about
what's going on in surface-specific code. Currently pretty much
all backends do things wrong when they want to sync to drawing
or to the frame clock.
2. It makes the API of GdkSurface smaller. No drawing code (apart
from creating the contexts) needs to remain.
3. It confines Cairo to the Drawcontext, thereby making it way
more obvious when backends are still using it in situations
where it may now conflict with OpenGL (like when doing the dnd
failed animation or in the APIs that I'm removing in this
branch).
4. We have 2 very different types of Cairo contexts: The X/win32
model, where we have a natively supported Cairo backend but do
double buffering ourselves and use similar surfaces and the
Wayland/Broadway model where we use image surfaces without any
Cairo backend support and have to submit the buffers manually.
By not sharing code between those 2 versions, we can make the
actual code way smaller. We also get around the need to create
1x1 image surfaces in the Wayland backend where we pretend
there's a native Cairo surface.
Rename all *window.[ch] source files.
This is an automatic operation, done by the following commands:
for i in $(git ls-files gdk | grep window); do
git mv $i $(echo $i | sed s/window/surface/);
git sed -f g $(basename $i) $(basename $i | sed s/window/surface/) ;
done
git checkout NEWS* po-properties po
(1) Try all passed in formats in order if one of them fails.
(2) Don't blindly accept all formats, make sure they are mime types
(3) Add a bunch of special non-mime types that plug converters to
get to mime types
Instead of creating a GdkX11Cursor, create GdkCursors. Cache the XCursor
in a hash table instead.
Also, make use of the new fallback mechanism for fallback code: Make
sure to provide cursors for the names that are guaranteed to exist, but
do not do bad attempts at displaying texture surfaces.
Black/White/transparent is not a replacement for those.
The common compiler and linker flags control, among other things, the
default visibility of symbols; without them, we leak symbols that ought
to be private.
We're mixing a lot of styles in the Meson build files. This is an
attempt at making everything slightly more consistent in terms of
whitespace and indentation.
This is how it's done in the autotools build. Also avoids problems
with multiple source files having the same name (gdkeventsource.c).
Also move broadway backend code into broadway subdir.
