This adds the new type GdkGLContext that wraps an OpenGL context for a
particular native window. It also adds support for the gdk paint
machinery to use OpenGL to draw everything. As soon as anyone creates
a GL context for a native window we create a "paint context" for that
GdkWindow and switch to using GL for painting it.
This commit contains only an implementation for X11 (using GLX).
The way painting works is that all client gl contexts draw into
offscreen buffers rather than directly to the back buffer, and the
way something gets onto the window is by using gdk_cairo_draw_from_gl()
to draw part of that buffer onto the draw cairo context.
As a fallback (if we're doing redirected drawing or some effect like a
cairo_push_group()) we read back the gl buffer into memory and composite
using cairo. This means that GL rendering works in all cases, including
rendering to a PDF. However, this is not particularly fast.
In the *typical* case, where we're drawing directly to the window in
the regular paint loop we hit the fast path. The fast path uses opengl
to draw the buffer to the window back buffer, either by blitting or
texturing. Then we track the region that was drawn, and when the draw
ends we paint the normal cairo surface to the window (using
texture-from-pixmap in the X11 case, or texture from cairo image
otherwise) in the regions where there is no gl painted.
There are some complexities wrt layering of gl and cairo areas though:
* We track via gdk_window_mark_paint_from_clip() whenever gtk is
painting over a region we previously rendered with opengl
(flushed_region). This area (needs_blend_region) is blended
rather than copied at the end of the frame.
* If we're drawing a gl texture with alpha we first copy the current
cairo_surface inside the target region to the back buffer before
we blend over it.
These two operations allow us full stacking of transparent gl and cairo
regions.
This is a new function that gets called every time we're drawing
some area in the Gtk paint machinery. It is a no-op right now, but
it will be required later to keep track of what areas which
we previously rendered with GL was overwritten with cairo contents.
This avoids a bunch of policy problems with deciding how to lay
out the window menu under different WMs.
For now, we use the special event _GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU, but we
hope to have this standardized in wm-spec quite soon, as KDE wants
it as well.
And deprecate the X11-specific version of it.
We call this new API _set_shadow_width() and not _set_frame_extents()
because we already have a gdk_window_get_frame_extents() with a
different meaning and different type of value.

Setting event compression to false will allow inter-frame
mouse motion events to be delivered, which are necessary
for painting applications to produce smooth strokes.

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.
This function returns all the children that has a specific user_data set.
This is used a lot in the new GtkWidget drawing code and doing
it this way is faster than getting every child and calling get_user_data
on each (which was a non-neglible part of the profiles). Additionally it
also allows use to use some kind of hashtable to make this operation even
faster if needed in the future.
This lets you register callbacks for when child widgets invalidate
areas of the window read it and/or change it.
For instance, this lets you do rendering effects and keeping offscreen
caches uptodate.
Instead of making the frame clock a settable property of a window, make
toplevel windows inherently have a frame clock when created (getting
rid of the default frame clock.) We need to create or destroy frame
clocks when reparenting a window to be a toplevel, or to not be a
toplevel, but otherwise the frame clock for a window is immutable.
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.
and gdk_window_get_fullscreen_mode() API to allow
applications to specify if a fullscreen window should
span across all monitors in a multi-monitor setup or
remain on the current monitor where the window is
placed.
Fullscreen mode can be either GDK_FULLSCREEN_ON_ALL_MONITORS
or GDK_FULLSCREEN_ON_CURRENT_MONITOR.

This patch changes all uses of GDK_DEPRECATED(_FOR) in gdk headers
by the versioned variants, GDK_DEPRECATED_IN_3_x(_FOR). At the same
time, we add GDK_AVAILABLE_IN_3_x annotations for all API additions
in 3.2 and 3.4.
As pointed out in bug 665999, these were just not right.
Before this commit, the nicks were 'output' and 'only'.
After this commit, they are 'input-output' and 'input-only'.
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().
Its usecase was GERD - http://testbit.eu/~timj/historic/gerd/ - and that
project is long since dead.
It has been superseded in GTK 2.2 by GdkDisplayPointerHooks anyway.
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.
