The function returns the part of a monitors area that should be
used for positioning popups, menus, etc. The only non-trivial
implementation atm is in the X backend, all the other backends
just return the full monitor area. The X implementation is
currently suboptimal, since it requires roundtrips to collect
the necessary information. It should be changed to monitor
the properties for changes, when XFixes allows to monitor
individual properties.

For maximized windows, titlebars cannot be used to reposition or
scale the window, so if an application does not use it to convey
useful information (other than the application name), the screen
space occupied by titlebars could be put to better use.
Add a new window property which requests from the window manager
to hide titlebars when windows are maximized to account for this.

This function can be used to find the GdkDevice wrapping
an XInput2 device ID. For core devices, the Virtual Core
Pointer/Keyboard IDs (2/3) may be used.
This function can be used to find out the XInput2 device ID
behind a GdkDevice, mostly useful when you need to interact
with say Clutter, or raw libXi calls.
The metacity theme format allows to use colors from the current
GTK+ theme in window decorations. Since GTK+ now gained support
for dark theme variants, window managers using that theme format
(metacity, mutter, compiz via gtk-window-decorator) should be able
to use colors from the correct variant; so in case a variant is
requested, export it in the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property on
toplevel windows.

The previous function gdk_drag_get_protocol_for_display() took native
window handles, so it had to be changed. Because it didn't do what it
was named to do (it didn't return a protocol even though it was named
get_protocol) and because it doesn't operate on the display anymore but
on the actual window, it's now called gdk_window_get_drag_protocol().
... and all APIs making use of it.
That code like it hasn't been touched in years, Google codesearch
didn't find any users and most importantly it's a horrendous API, so
let's just make it die instead of having to port it over to
non-GdkNativeWindow usage, which would be required for multi-backend
GDK.

There's no usecase for them, so remove them before we have to commit to
keeping an API.
Make the hooks private for now, actually removing them will come in
followup patches.
Its usecase was GERD - http://testbit.eu/~timj/historic/gerd/ - and that
project is long since dead.
I couldn't find any app using it after asking around and googling either.

It has been superseded in GTK 2.2 by GdkDisplayPointerHooks anyway.
The X11 backend exports a number of symbols which are _-prefixed
(so don't become part of the gdk api), but are not named in a
way to prevent accidental clashes between backends.
The one API change here is that the gdk_xid_table functions
have been removed - they did not server an purpose, since the
xid table only stores windows anyway, and we already have a
lookup-by-xid function for windows.
These functions were trivial g_spawn wrappers in all backends
except for X11, and they can be easily replaced by
g_app_info_create_for_commandline + GdkAppLaunchContext.
The old functions to get core pointer and devices list are gone as
well. This slice is entirely replaced internally by multidevice
handling and may just go.
This function will enable events for all devices of a given
GdkInputSource, either these available at the time of the call,
or these that are connected in the future.
You should not ever ever ever call cairo_reset_clip(). If you do, your
code is broken and you deserve everything you get.
And we should definitely not support this insanity.
This new function takes a GdkRGBA in order to set the background to
an alpha color. Keep in mind that RGBA visuals and a composited environment
are still necessary to have an alpha background displayed.
GdkRGBA is a boxed struct similar to GdkColor, with the difference
that it stores alpha information as well, and colors are stored in
[0..1] doubles, in the cairo spirit.
gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba() has been also added to allow easier handling
of this new type.
