If you set GDK_SCALE=2 in the environment then all windows will be
scaled by 2. Its not an ideal solution as it doesn't handle
multi-monitors at different scales, and only affects gtk apps.
But it is a good starting points and will help a lot on HiDPI
laptops.
This makes Wayland and X11 no longer call into XKB and libX11 for these
functions but use GDK's own copy of these functions, just like the
win32, quartz and broadway backends.
GtkPlug directly handles X KeyPress/Release events, instead of using
translation in GDK (which expects XI2 events for XI2). When this
was done, the handling of the group was stubbed out and never replaced.
Export gdk_keymap_x11_group_for_state() and gdk_keymap_x11_is_modifier()
so we can fill out the fields correctly.

XI2 provides us with an increment for each scroll valuator,
and by dividing the delta by the increment, we obtain normalized
values in some abstract 'scroll unit'.
For mouse wheels, the evdev driver reports an increment of -1,
so doing this division fixes the inverted scrolling with wheels
that we've seen recently.
XInput >= 2.1 allows for implementing smooth scrolling,
reporting the different scrolling axes as valuators.
Any change in those will be reported as GdkEventScroll
events with delta_x/y information.
the older kind of scroll events is still handled, and
emulated in devices able to provide smooth scrolling,
setting _gdk_event_set_pointer_emulated() in that case.
Translate XI_TouchBegin/Update/End to GDK_TOUCH_BEGIN/UPDATE/END
events.
At the same time,
set pointer-emulated flags on button events with XIPointerEmulated
and on touch events emulating the pointer.
In 2.x, the !HAVE_XCONVERTCASE fallback of keyval_convert_case() was
implicitly used as implementation for all !X11 backends.
In 3.x, when this function was virtualized in GdkDisplayManager,
this fallback was moved to the X11 backend and the other backends
"equipped" with /* FIXME implement */ implementations of
keyval_convert_case() which don't convert anything.
Move the fallback code back to gdk/ as default implementation
of GdkDisplayManager::keyval_convert_case() and remove its
implementations is all backends but X11. Also remove the
implementation in Wayland which was a plain copy of what
is now the default implementation.
(cherry picked from commit f46c1b76d8)
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 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().
Move everything dealing with compound text to be X11 specific
Only gdk_text_property_to_utf8_list and gdk_utf8_to_string_target
are kept across backends, so add vfuncs for these.
Also, remove the non-multihead-safe variants of all these.
Remove the --sync option and remove the possibility of backend-specific
commandline options altogether. --sync is being replaced by
a GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable.
Moving the direct-access redefinitions of various macros
to gdkprivate-x11.h and use that header throughout in x11/.
Also remove a workaround for a long-fixed X server bug.
