Previously, each begin_paint_region added to a stack of current paints,
and when end_paint was called, the paint was popped off of the stack and
the surface was composited into the parent paint surface.
However, the code was broken in the case of a backend like Wayland which
didn't keep track of nested calls and simply wiped and returned the
native impl backing surface every time.
Since this feature is flat out unused by GTK+ and we don't want to
really support tricksy things like these for other clients, just remove
the feature. If somebody does call begin_paint_region more than once,
warn and return without doing anything.
Traditionally, the way painting was done in GTK+ was with the
"expose-event" handler, where you'd use GDK methods to do drawing on
your surface. In GTK+ 2.24, we added cairo support with gdk_cairo_create,
so you could paint your graphics with cairo.
Since then, we've added client-side windows, double buffering, the paint
clock, and various other enhancements, and the modern way to do drawing
is to connect to the "draw" signal on GtkWidget, which hands you a
cairo_t. To do double-buffering, the cairo_t we hand you is actually on
a secret surface, not the actual backing store of the window, and when
the draw handler completes we blit it into the main backing store
atomically.
The code to do this is with the APIs gdk_window_begin_paint_region,
which creates the temporary surface, and gdk_window_end_paint which
blits it back into the backing store. GTK+'s implementation of the
"draw" signal uses these APIs.
We've always sort-of supported people calling gdk_cairo_create
"outside" of a begin_paint / end_paint like old times, but then you're
not getting the benefit of double-buffering, and it's harder for GDK to
optimize.
Additionally, newer backends like Mir and Wayland can't actually support
this model, since they're based on double-buffering and swapping buffers
at various points in time. If we hand you a random cairo_t, we have no
idea when is a good time to swap.
Remove support for this.
This is technically a GDK API break: a warning is added in cases where
gdk_cairo_create is called outside of a paint cycle, and the returned
surface is a dummy that won't ever be composited back onto the main
surface. Testing with complex applications like Ardour didn't produce
any warnings.
It seems that some backends implemented get_root_origin wrong
and returned the client window coordinates, not the frame window
coordinates. Since it's possible to implement generically for all
windows, let's do that instead of having a separate impl vfunc.
Instead of destroying the surface in the backend if this is
unable to resize, let the core code do it, and do it properly.
Based on a patch by Benjamin Otte.

Put dialogs and utility windows in the same level as normal and
toolbar windows so that Gtk can control their stacking instead of
forcing them, rather unnaturally, to be on top of all other windows,
even other application windows, even when another application has
focus.
We've long had double precision mouse coordinates on wayland (e.g.
when rotating a window) but with the new scaling we even have it on
X (and, its also in Xinput2), so convert all the internal mouse/device
position getters to use doubles and add new accessors for the
public APIs that take doubles instead of ints.
window_type_hint_to_level(): applied patch from Paul Davis which moves
dialogs to NSFloatingWindowLevel. This is not quite the perfect
solution, but it's a pragmatic fix that makes apps which have both
window types much more usable, and prevents dialog from disappearing
under an application's main window.
(cherry picked from commit 59d49e1566)
Deprecate gdk_window_enable_synchronized_configure() and
gdk_window_configure_done() and make them no-ops. Implement the
handling of _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST in terms of the frame cycle -
we know that all processing will be finished in the next frame
cycle after the ConfigureNotify is received.
Activate the "hides on deactivate" behavior for splashscreens,
torn-off menus, utility windows, tooltips and notifications: when
another application is brought to the front, these windows are hidden
so as not to obscure it. This is the expected behavior for
application-specific floating windows on OS X.
(cherry picked from commit 0596f5591f)
so they can appear on top of popup menus. Also, reorder the switch()
statement in window_type_hint_to_level() so it resembles the stacking
order, to avoid confision like this in the future. Fixes bug 688512.
(cherry picked from commit 1a2509a6ab)
which does not really have a different effect than the previously
used NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel, but is what all code examples I found
are using, and it does make more sense.

When compiled with older SDKs, the original change for this bug caused a
compiler warning about NSWindow not being able to handle a setStyleMask
message. This tricks the compiler into thinking that it can.
I tried to suppress compiler warnings on pre-10.6 machines this way,
but it defeats its purpose when you compile for pre-10.6 machines on
a 10.6 machine. For now, we have to live with the warnings when
compiling on/for pre-10.6 machines, there does not seem an easy and proper
way to suppress the warnings.
