... and its implementation in the X11 backend.
GDK does lots of work trying to reduce the region in expose events
so that when the server sends multiple expose events, touching the
same area we can make sure to only redraw stuff once. However:
(1) this is only relevant of there's tons of delay and multiple
expose events get sent
(2) we coalesce multiple events into a single expose event anyway
(3) we do this on the frame clock
But most importantly:
(4) Since the invention of compositing, servers caches all contents
anyway

Drop the public filtering API. The x11 backend already has
the ::xevent signal as replacement. The win32 backend needs
a similar signal to replace filtering.
Reshuffle header inclusions in the x11 backend a little bit
to avoid a cyclic inclusion between gdkprivate-x11.h and
gdkdisplay-x11.h that is otherwise causing problems.
Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
GDK has a lock to mark critical sections inside the backends.
Additionally, code that would re-enter into the GTK main loop was
supposed to hold the lock.
Back in the Good Old Days™ this was guaranteed to kind of work only on
the X11 backend, and would cause a neat explosion on any other GDK
backend.
During GTK+ 3.x we deprecated the API to enter and leave the critical
sections, and now we can remove all the internal uses of the lock, since
external API that uses GTK+ 4.x won't be able to hold the GDK lock.

This state flag is used in several places in GTK+, for example to
ignore RESIZE_INC hints if tiled. Setting it is also necessary for
backwards compatibility with applications that changed their behaviour
when tiled, such as GNOME Terminal and its MATE fork.

Commit c415bef5de introduced support for the new _GTK_EDGE_CONSTRAINTS
atom. If the compositor supports that atom, however, we were always
setting the tiled state, even if no actual tiling information is
available, where the correct action is to completely remove any traces
of the tiled state.
Fix that by correctly removing the tiled state when compositor supports
_GTK_EDGE_CONSTRAINTS Xatom.

The query function for cursor sizes and capabilities
are not very interesting. At least, they are not used
in GTK+, and all backends but X11 just hardcode
made-up values anyway. So, lets drop them.
As far as possible, use per-display debug flags.
This will minimize the debug spew that we get from
the inspector if it is running on a separate display.
We now have a GdkX11Display::xevent signal that gets emitted for every
XEvent and allows you to interrupt processing via TRUE/FALSE return
values.
These return values to correspond to GDK_FILTER_REMOVE and
GDK_FILTER_CONTINUE respectively.
The GDK_FILTER_TRANSLATE case from gdk_window_add_filter() is now meant
to be handled via gdk_display_put_event().
(1) Turn X11 clipboard event handling into a regular filter function
(2) Maintain a timestamp in the clipboard, so we can pass it when
querying selections.
Instead, turn the functions into backend API:
gdk_broadway_display_add_selection_targets()
gdk_broadway_display_clear_selection_targets()
Remove the old per-backend functions, too.
The preferred api to create cursors is by name, and the
GdkCursorType enumeration can directly trace its ancestry
to the horrible X cursor font. So lets stop using it.
gdk_display_get_default_screen is gone, but we still
have x11-specific screen apis that GTK+ is using, so
we need an alterative way to get the screen object.
This patch makes that work using 1 of 2 options:
1. Add all missing enums to the switch statement
or
2. Cast the switch argument to a uint to avoid having to do that (mostly
for GdkEventType).
I even found a bug while doing that: clearing a GtkImage with a surface
did not notify thae surface property.
The reason for enabling this flag even though it is tedious at times is
that it is very useful when adding values to an enum, because it makes
GTK immediately warn about all the switch statements where this enum is
relevant.
And I expect changes to enums to be frequent during the GTK4 development
cycle.
Instead of relying on special values of edge constraints, this
patch adds an internal-only gdk_window_supports_edge_constraints()
function that by default returns FALSE, and is implemented by
GdkWindowWayland and GdkWindowX11.
This way, we can properly detect server-side support for this
feature and adapt accordingly.

Following the previous patch, where edge constraints support
was added to the Wayland backend, this patch introduces the
necessary code to handle the _GTK_EDGE_CONSTRAINTS atom from
X11 backend.

The Mesa Vulkan drivers need XInitThreads() being called, because their
implementation has to use threads.
And I don't want to make the call depend on if Vulkan is compiled in
because that makes GTK's X11 behavior depend on compile-time flags, so
it's always called.
gdk_window_create_vulkan_context() now exists and will return a Vulkan
context for the given window. It even initializes the surface. But it
doesn't do anything useful yet.
Switch code to use gdk_display_is_composited() instead.
The new code also doesn't use a vfunc to query the property but rather
requires the backend to call set_composited()/set_rgba() to change the
value.
gdk_display_list_devices is deprecated and all the backends
implement the same fallback by delegating to the device manager
and caching the list (caching it is needed since the method does
not transfer ownership of the container).
The compat code can be shared among all backends and we can
initialize the list lazily only in the case someone calls the
deprecated method.

Presently, Gtk will only send a startup notification completion message
for the first window that is shown. This is not good for the case of
GtkApplication, where we are expected to participate in
startup-notification for all windows.
We have avoided this problem by manually emitting the startup complete
message from after_emit in GtkApplication.
Unfortunately, this causes problems for windows that are shown with a
delay. It is also a dirty hack.
The reason for the original behaviour is simple: there is a static
boolean in gtkwindow.c which controls it. We remove this.
Instead, clear the startup notification ID stored in GDK when sending
the completion message. GtkApplication will re-set this the next time
an event comes in which needs startup-notification handling. In the
non-GtkApplication case, newly shown windows will still not send the
message, since the cookie will have been cleared.
Finally, we remove the hack from GtkApplication's after_emit.
This will probably cause some regressions in terms of lingering startup
notification messages. The correct solution here is to always use
gtk_window_present(), including when merely opening a new document (with
a new tab, for example).

We currently just look for a master device with input source MOUSE.
After recent changes to the way input devices are classified, xwayland
on my system comes up with a virtual core pointer that has input
source TOUCHSCREEN. This was causing assertion failures. Be a little
more careful and accept a touchscreen as core pointer, if there is
no mouse.
When dealing with selection events, we might see windows from
other screens in the requestor field. The current x11 backend
code fails to wrap these in a foreign GdkWindow, since we
don't have the corresponding GdkScreen anymore. Work around
this by creating such 'foreign screens' on demand. We still
maintain the 1:1 relation between the display and the screen
returned by gdk_display_get_default_screen().

When using frame times from _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and _NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS, we
were treating them as local monotonic times, but they are actually extended-precision
versions of the server time, and need to be translated to monotonic times in the
case where the X server and client aren't running on the same system.
This fixes rendering stalls when using X over a remote ssh connection.

Avoid using a stale timestamp (from the last user interaction with the
application) when a message arrives from D-Bus requesting that a new
window be created.
In this case the most-correct thing that we can do is to use no
timestamp at all.
We modify gdk_x11_display_set_startup_notification_id() to allow a NULL
value to mean "reset everything" and then call this function
unconditionally on receipt of D-Bus activation requests. The result
will be that a missing desktop-startup-id in the platform-data struct
will reset the timestamp.
Under their default configuration metacity and mutter will both map
windows presented with no timestamp in the foreground. This could
result in false-positive, but there is very little we can do about that
without the original timestamp from the user event.

This patch introduces support for using the newly introduced
monitor objects in the XRandR protocol. These objects are meant
to be used to denote a set of rectangles representing a logical
monitor, and are used to hide details like monitor tiling and
virtual gpu outputs.
This uses the new objects instead of crtc/outputs objects when
they are available to create the monitor lists. X server 1.18
is required on the server side for randr 1.5.

If the specified property is None, the requestor is an obsolete client.
Owners are encouraged to support these clients by using the specified
