We create various windows during the initial creation of display
objects, which causes some bootstrapping issues when we try to
find the default screen to get its root window. To work around this,
pass the display object into gdk_window_new.
This is not an API change, since gdk_window_new is no longer public API.
Interpret NULL as "root window" here - we only have one
screen nowadays, so there is no choice involved, and this
will let us avoid dealing with the root window in the
fontend code.
This adds support for the shortcut inhibitor protocol in gdk/wayland
backend.
A shortcut inhibitor request is issued from the gdk wayland backend for
both the older, deprecated API gdk_device_grab() and the new gdk seat
API gdk_seat_grab(), but only if the requested capability is for the
keyboard only.

If a bad behaving application tries to make the window/display beep too

avoid terminating due to an excessive amount of requests.

Under Wayland, when multiple keys are pressed and the user releases a
key, key repeat should continue unless the key released is the one
currently repeating.
In the case of:
- key1 press
- key1 repeat
- key2 press -> key1 repeat stopped
- key2 repeat
- key2 release
The behavior should be to cancel keyboard repeat, though key1 is still
held down. This is consistent with prior X11/XWayland behavior.
The following also must work:
- key1 press
- key2 press
- key2 release
- key2 press
- key1 release
- key2 should continue to repeat
The fix for bug #778019 should continue to work:
- key1 press
- key1 repeat
- key2 press -> key1 repeat stopped
- key1 release
- key2 should repeat
The choice to change the counter nkeys to the flag repeat_active
helps to solve the second test case.

When an event is received while a tooltip is showing, the GtkTooltip's
event handling code can end up calling gdk_window_set_transient_for()
from gtk_tooltip_set_last_window().
The Wayland GDK backend will try to automatically create a subsurface
in gdk_wayland_window_set_transient_for() but if the parent surface is
gone meanwhile, this will will cause a crash when trying to create a
subsurface from a parent with a null surface.
Checking for the parent is not sufficient, we ought to check for the
parent surface as well to avoid the crash.

Applications can specify the type hint as utility even on toplevel
windows.
When that toplevel is also marked as a transient for another window,
GDK Wayland backend would translate that as an xdg_popup which is not
appropriate.
While utility temp windows should remain mapped as subsurfaces (such as
the ones used by treeviews), regular windows should not translate as
neither a subsurface nor an xdg_popup.

There is no need to have every application log a warning when the
Wayland display server goes away, and we are using _exit instead of
exit elsewhere.

Aborting the application makes it look like an application bug, when
it is the expected thing to do when the Wayland display server goes

this happens.

The common compiler and linker flags control, among other things, the
default visibility of symbols; without them, we leak symbols that ought
to be private.
We can build the name of the input and output files for the Wayland
protocols we use from the protocol name, stability, and version. This is
similar to how the autotools build does it, except much more clear and
without shelling out twice to sed just to resolve the Makefile rule.
gdkprivate-wayland.h includes generated wayland client protocol
headers and is included from gdkdisplaymanager.c, so we need to
generate those client protocol headers first also when building
main gdk itself.
This is how it's done in the autotools build. Also avoids problems
with multiple source files having the same name (gdkeventsource.c).
Also move broadway backend code into broadway subdir.
With Wayland, GDK_DEBUG=events would log key events but not explicitly
state whether the event is a key press or release, or if it's
originating from a key repeat.
Add some more verbosity to make sure these informations are logged on
key delivery when GDK_DEBUG is set.

For some reason, we are seeing damage being NULL here.
While that should never be the case, crashing on it is
unkind and makes the Wayland experience unusable.
Make sure to clear up the number of keys being pressed on enter/leave so
that we don't end up with leftovers if a new window is mapped by a

The key repeat is stopped as soon as a key is pressed, so if the user
quickly presses a key while another is already pressed and being
repeated, key repeat gets cancelled:
- key1 press
- key1 repeat
- key2 press -> key1 repeat stopped
- key1 release
- key 2 is not repeated even though it's kept depressed
This is a different behavior from X11, which confuses migrating users.
To mimic the X11 behavior, keep track of the number of keys pressed
simultaneously and cancel key repeat only when none is pressed.
This way, if a user pressed a key while another one is being repeated,
the new key press can possibly be repeated as well.

When resizing an xdg_popup immediately after the initial mapping, there
is a race condition between the client and the compositor which is
processing the initial size given by the xdg_positioner, leading to the
xdg_popup to be eventually of the wrong size.
Only way to make sure the size is correct in that case is to hide and
show the window again. Considering this occurs before the initial
configure is processed, it should not be noticeable.

Clamping the anchor values as introduced in commit 9a5ffcd to fix bug
777176 breaks menu positioning.
By keeping the anchors rectangle size greater than zero, we end up
deducting some positive value from the original position, so there is no
need to clamp() actually, keeping the values positive is enough and
avoids the issue with menu positioning on the menubar.
An additional benefit is to make the code a lot simpler.

Currently hiding destroys the wl_surface and all related interfaces,
(including the gtk_surface1) so the next time the GdkWindow is mapped,

This is how windows are meant to be hidden as per the wayland

When a subsurface is used as a parent of a popup, GDK needs to traverse
up to the transient-for as the next parent, to properly find the parent
used by the popup positioner. This is because the parent of a popup
must always either be an xdg_popup or an xdg_surface, but traversing
the "parent" (in GDK terms) upwards from a subsurface will end up on
the fake root window before we hit the actual parent (in Wayland terms).

Passing a rectangle with zero width or height to xdg_shell-v6
set_anchor_rect() will cause a protocol error and terminate the client,
as with gedit when pressing the Win key.
Reason for this is because the rectangle used to set the anchor comes
from gtk_text_layout_get_iter_location() which uses the pango layout
width/height, which can be empty if there is not character at the given
location.
Make sure we don't use 0 as width or height as an anchor rectangle to
avoid the protocol error, and compensate the logical position of the
given rectangle if the size is changed, so that the actual position
remains as expected by the client.

We're not currently using this, and dropping it allows us to loose
a bunch of code which leads us towards the goal of having GdkWindow
only for toplevels (and reparenting makes not sense for toplevels).
We can't really support these on e.g. wayland anyway, and we're trying
to get rid of subwindow at totally in the long term, so lets drop this.
It allows us to drop a lot of complexity.
For subsurfaces, the new state which includes the input shape is not
applied by the compositor if the subsurface is in effective synchronous
mode.
So we need to apply the input shape once parent surface is in effective
desynchronized mode, which is when it's committed, otherwise the input
shape may never be applied if the widget is not using being_paint() /
end_paint() to draw on its subsurface, like clutter does.
We do that only for empty input shape as those won't need update when
the subsurface is resized, for all other non-empty input shape, the
client still has to use begin_paint()/end_paint() for the input shape to
be applied.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774534
I read the code as if (use_gl) instead of if (!use_gl) and commented it
out in bddfd7bb41. That broke drawing on
Wayland without OpenGL completely.
Whoops.
Now it's back.
This is a way to query the damaged area of the backbuffer.
The GL renderer uses this to compute the extents of that damage region
(computed via buffer age) and use them to minimize the area to redraw.
This changes the semantics of GL rendering to "When calling
gdk_window_begin_frame() with a GL context, the area by
gdk_gl_context_get_damage() needs to be redrawn and every other pixel of
the backbuffer is guaranteed to be correct.
After gdk_window_end_frame() on a GL-drawn window, the whole backbuffer
must be correct.
We can always glXBufferSwap() now because of this.
... instead of a gl context.
This requires some refactoring in the way we mark the shared context as
drawing: We now call begin_frame/end_frame() on it and ignore the call
on the main context.
Unfortunately we need to do this check in all vfuncs, which sucks. But I
haven't found a better way.
This way, we can query the GL context's state via
gdk_gl_context_is_drawing().
Use this function to make GL contexts as attached and grant them access
to the front/backbuffer for rendering.
All of this is still unused because GL drawing is still disabled.
No visible changes as GL rendering is disabled at the moment.
What was done:
1. Move window->invalidate_for_new_frame to glcontext->begin_frame
This moves the code to where it is used (the GLContext) and prepares it
for being called where it is used when actually beginning to draw the
frame.
2. Get rid of buffer-age usage
We want to let the application render directly to the backbuffer.
Because of that, we cannot make any assumptions about the contents the
application renders outside the clip area.
In particular GskGLRenderer renders random stuff there but not actual
contents.
3. Pass the actual GL context
Previously, we passed the shared context to end_frame, now we pass the
actual GL context that the application uses for rendering. This is so
that the vfuncs could prepare the actual contexts for rendering (they
don't currently).
4. Simplify the code
The previous code set up the final drawing method in begin_frame.
Instead, we now just ensure the clip area is something we can render
and decide on the actual method in end_frame.
This is both more robust (we can change the clip area in between if we
want to) and less code.
Now that subsurfaces can be created as child of another GdkWindow (and
not just the root window), they must be placed according to the location
of their parent, i.e. the abs_x/abs_y must be updated and taken int
account when placing and moving subsurfaces under Wayland.

This can be triggered on workspace switches, and on hidpi results in

For wayland clients, the startup notification ID is currently only set
from the DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable. As that variable is
only set for clients launched via exec(), startup completion is not
indicated correctly for DBus-activated applications unless an explicit
ID is specified - usually that is not the case, as the default handling
uses gdk_notify_startup_complete().
To address this, we need API to set the startup notification ID from GTK
as we have on X11.

gdk_wayland_window_attach_image() is normally called from
gdk_window_end_paint() to notify the compositor of newly staged drawing.
If any of the drawing code inadvertently dispatches the wayland event
loop (for instance with a gdk_flush() call), then it's possible that by
the time gdk_window_end_paint() is called, the staged drawing is already
destroyed.
This commit bypasses the attach_image call in scenarios where the staged
drawing is prematurely dropped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773274
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.
These complicate a lot of GdkWindow internals to implement features
that not a lot of apps use, and will be better achieved using gsk.
So, we just drop it all.
xdg_shell v6 allows grabless popups, whose behavior is not that
different from override redirect windows with no grab to take
keyboard input (and pointer events outside).
This means we can relax the requirement to have a grab before
creating an xdg_popup. The warning is still useful to have so
people stop relying on gdk_window_show();gdk_device_grab() being
an ok pattern to popup a window, it's been moved to wayland
implementation of gdk_device_grab() instead, so we warn if trying
to grab a GDK_WINDOW_TEMP window that's already visible.

And with it, gtk_widget_get_visual() and gtk_widget_set_visual() are
gone.
We now always use the RGBA visual (if available) and otherwise fall back
to the system visual.
... and gdk_screen_get_window_stack().
Those functions were originally added in
5afb4f0f11 but do not seem to be used as
they are not implemented anywhere but in X.
As GDK is not meant to fulfill window management functionality I'm going
to remove these functions without replacements.
... and gdk_screen_get_width_mm() and gdk_screen_get_height_mm() and
the shortcut counterparts that call these functions on the default
screen.
Modern display servers don't provide an ability to query the size of a
screen or display so we shouldn't allow that either.
Calling eglGetDisplay forces libEGL to guess what kind of pointer you
passed it. Different EGL libraries will do different things here, and in
particular glvnd will do something different than Mesa. Since we do have
an API that allows us to explicitly type the display, use it.
The explicit call to eglGetProcAddress is working around a bug in
libepoxy 1.3, which does not understand the EGL concept of client
extensions. Since it does not, the normal epoxy resolver for
eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT would not find any provider for that entry
point, and crash when you attempted to call it.

Setting the shadow width earlier as done with commit 4cb1b96 to address
bug 771561 proved to cause unexpected side effects on size_allocate
signal propagation.
As the window is sized correctly earlier, the size_allocate signal is
not emitted again in gtk_widget_size_allocate_with_baseline() which
prevents clutter-gtk from relocating its child widget correctly.
To avoid this issue, revert commit 4cb1b96 but make sure the values
passed as min and max size is never negative in Wayland as this is a
protocol error.
With this, the min/max size will be wrong for a short amount of time,
during the state transition, until the shadow width is updated from
gdk_window_set_shadow_width().
This approach is much safer and less intrusive than changing the
size_allocate logic in gtk.

An xdg-popup requires a serial that the compositor will compare against
its own serial and will dismiss the popup if it doesn't match.
gtk+ uses either a pointer or touch serial for its helper function
_gdk_wayland_seat_get_last_implicit_grab_serial() but if the menu is
triggered before the user has had any pointer or touch interaction with
the client, using a keyboard shortcut, there is neither pointer nor
touch serial available, and gtk+ will use 0 as the default.
As a result, the compositor will instantly dismiss the xdg-popup. In
this case, gtk+ should use the keyboard serial instead.

if there is no newer pointer or touch serial available.

Only update to using v2 headers/structs. The incompatible changes
to tool events are dealt with in the next commit. Pads aren't handled
in this commit either.
On X11, device_query_state() uses XIQueryPointer() which will return a
child window only if the pointer is within an actual child of the given
window.
Wayland backend would return the pointer->focus window independently of
the given window, but that breaks the logic in get_device_state() and
later in gdk_window_get_device_position_double() because the window is
searched based on coordinates from another window without sibling
relationship, breaking gtkmenu sub-menus further down the line.
Fix the Wayland backend to mimic X11's XIQueryPointer() to return a
child only if really a child of the given window.
That's the most sensible thing to do to fix the issue, but the API here
seems to be modeled after the X11 implementation and the description of
gdk_window_get_device_position_double() is not entirely accurate.

This has most notably impact in selection buffers, because those were
shared across all selection atoms. This turned out wrong on 2 situations:
- Because the selection atom was set at SelectionBuffer creation time, the
GDK_SELECTION_NOTIFY events generated will have unexpected info if the
buffer is attempted to be reused for another selection.
- Anytime different selections imply different stored content for the same
target.
This is better separated into per-selection buffers, so it's not possible
to get collisions if a same target is used across different selections.

Only generate crossing events on wl_touch.down for the virtual master
device used for touch events, and only whenever this virtual device
actually moves across surfaces. This behavior resembles better what is
expected in X11, where the pointer is warped to the touch position
on XITouchBegin.
This avoids the double emission of leave events when the pointer
emulating touch is lifted, that crossing event will be instead
generated when/if the focus surface changes.

This is required for proper integration with any other library/application that
may perform wayland API calls and poll() the wayland fd from multiple threads.
Using wl_display_dispatch{_queue}() is thread-safe if not mixed with custom
poll() usage, which GSource/GMainContext does.
Essentially, the problem is that multiple threads polling and reading
the same fd is extremely racy. Use the wayland provided API for allowing
concurrent access to the wayland display fd.
See the wayland man pages for wl_display_prepare_read(),
wl_display_cancel_read() and wl_display_read_events() for more details.

Use of g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func() needs to do more work than

The wayland specification for discrete step information for scroll and
other axes reads:
| The discrete value carries the directional information. e.g. a
| value of -2 is two steps towards the negative direction of this axis.
mutter sets a value of 1 for SCROLL_DOWN events and -1 for SCROLL_UP
events.
gdkdevice Wayland backend does the opposite, it translates a positive
discrete value as SCROLL_UP and a negative value as SCROLL_DOWN, which
ends up inverting the scrolling direction.
Fix the logic in gdkdevice Wayland to use a positive value as
SCROLL_DOWN and a negative value as SCROLL_UP so that it matches mutter
and weston logic.

NoSymbol is not a valid GDK symbol (it only has the concept of
VoidSymbol, for some reason, which is neither the same thing nor
produced by any sane keymap). Passing NoSymbol events through to GTK+
apps is unlikely to produce anything useful.
In particular, this meant VTE would scroll to the end of the buffer when
pressing Fn (required for Page Up/Down on Macs), as it was receiving a
keypress that wasn't a modifeir. This does not happen on X11, as the
KEY_FN keycode is above 255, so does not get sent to clients.

This patch renames all occurrences of "wayland_display" to
"display_wayland". This is also consistent with naming in the X11

where the rename was already done, that added line breaks to long lines

If we get gdk_wayland_seat_flush_frame_event() with no previous event to be
flushed, we fallback into the scroll event checks. However, there's no check
performed there as to whether it really scrolled, so it'd always send a smooth
scroll event with 0/0 deltas in this case.
This should be mostly harmless, but still, we should only end up emitting scroll
events if those really happened.
The frame event is also meant to compress wl_pointer.leave events, at this
point the focus surface will be definitely NULL. In the end, wl_pointer.frame
should flush the last composed event despite the pointer focus.

Since Wayland is using libxkbcommon, it inherits X unfortunate

On wayland, such axes are per-tool, we must update device capabilities
on the fly as new tools enter proximity, first the slave device so
it matches the current tool, and then the master device so it looks
the same than the current slave device.
Only the management of tablets and tools is added so far. No tablet events
are yet interpreted.
As it's been the tradition in GTK+, erasers are split into their own device,
whereas the rest of the tools are meant to be routed through the
GDK_SOURCE_PEN device. Both pen/eraser devices are slaves to a master
pointer device, separate to wl_pointer's. This is so each tablet can
maintain its own cursor/positioning accounting.

This will enable multiple "pointers" to have separate data here.
Will come out useful when adding support for tablets, as they

gnome-control-center is calling gtk_window_resize() on configure-event

The way gdk_drag_status() may be called multiple times during the
processing of drag and drop events throughout the widget hierarchy
brings some superfluous messaging going in, esp. when it's the last
request the one we want to honor, yet we emit messaging requests on
all.
This is barely appreciable in the X11 backend, but due to the design
of the wayland protocol, quick series of changes like this it have
some self-amplificating consequences which may end up flooding the
connection.
We can delegate this to a late "commit" call, performed within GDK
event management. This way gdk_drag_status() calls may be cached
and only result in windowing messaging once per ::drag-motion or
::drag-data-received event. Emitting the final status will also
avoid spurious action changes on the compositor and the other peer.

A gtk_surface.present request was added to gtk_surface which takes

otherwise we might steal someones focus.

The gtk_shell protocol used some half baked unstable protocol semantics
that worked by only allowing binding the exact version of the
interface. This hack is a bit too confusing and it makes it impossible
to do any compatible changes without breaking things.
So, instead rename it to include a number in the interface names. This
way we can add requests and events without causing compatibility issues,
and we can later remove requests and events by bumping the number in
the interface names.

This request actually means nothing to the upper GDK layers,
we used to preempt a GDK_SELECTION_REQUEST event, but this is too

Originally in wayland, this event may be used for feedback purposes.
We however don't perform any mimetype-based feedback, so we can
safely ignored.
This makes data_source_send() the only place where we actually
trigger GDK_SELECTION_REQUEST, this one is conceptually the same
than the X11 selection request event.

require adding redundant code.
Instead, this commit just changes the code to always reset the timer

According to xdg_shell, an xdg_surface.configure with size 0x0 should
be interpreted as that it is up to the client to set a size.
When transitioning from maximize or fullscreen state, this means the

There is no point in attaching and then committing the same buffer if
there was no damage. This will also make us do less unnecessary backfill
read backs, for the cases where we paint with an empty paint region.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762120
If a after-paint was scheduled but nothing was painted, for example when
the it was scheduled by a subsurface wanting to update its position,
we'd still try to read back from the backfill cairo surface and update
the committed cairo surface reference even though no buffer was
attached.
Fix this by adding a new state, 'pending_buffer_attached', which is only
true if a buffer was attached during frame. Only when this is true will
the backfill be read back and the committed cairo surface reference be
updated.

Right now we use one buffer for both staged changes (freshly painted
changes waiting for the frame clock to send to the compositor) and
committed changes (changes actively being read by the compositor
process). This creates a problem in the event we need to stage updates
at the same time the compositor is processing committed updates: we
can't change what the compositor is actively processing.
The current solution for handling this contention is to allocate a
temporary buffer on the spot at the time the updates are staged, and to
copy that buffer back to the shared buffer later. The problem, though,
is that the copy to the shared buffer currently happens as soon as
the updates are finished being staged, not when the shared buffer is
done being processed by the compositor.
In order to address that problem, this commit changes the code to always
stage changes to a dedicated staging buffer. The staging buffer is
used exclusively by the client until the client is done with it, and then
once that staging buffer is committed, the client never writes to that
buffer again. If the client needs to stage new updates, it allocates a
brand new staging buffer, draws to it, and back fills the undrawn parts
of the buffer from a copy of the contents of the committed buffer.
As an optimization, the compositor has the option of releasing the
committed buffer back to the client. If it does so before the client
needs to stage new updates, then the client will reuse the buffer
for staging future updates. This optimization prevents having to allocate
a new staging buffer and the associated cost of back filling
that new buffer with a readback of the committed buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761312
Right now we handle buffer releases coming from the
compositor in a central place. We add a listener when
first creating the shared buffers.
This is problematic because a buffer can only have
one listener on it at once so users of the buffer
can't get notified when it's released.
This commit moves the buffer listener code from the
centrally managed display code to the cursor and window
code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761312
The client and compositor share access to the window
pixel buffers. After the client hands off (commits)
the buffer to the compositor it's not supposed to write
to it again until it's released by the compositor.
The code tries to deal with this contention by allocating
a temporary buffer and using that in the mean time. This
temporary buffer is allocated by a higher layer of the code
when begin_paint returns TRUE. Unfortunately, that layer of
the code has no idea when the buffer is released, so it ends
up blitting the temporary buffer back to the shared buffer
prematurely.
This commit changes begin_paint to always return FALSE.
A future commit will address the contention problem in
a different way.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760897
Right now, we assume the stride for the image surface needs to
be 4 byte aligned. This is, in fact, true, but it's better to

If the grab window is destroyed the grab will be implicitly removed,
although we won't get GdkSeat:ungrab called in order to clear our
internal window<->seat relation entirely. Setting a weak ref will
nullify the pointer we keep on the seat to the window, avoiding the
expected crashes.
Due to implicit grabs, we basically can guarantee that the pointer
won't have any buttons pressed at the time of wl_pointer.enter.
Seems like a good place to unset any button modifiers that might
have been left stale by compositor grabs.
And use it to handle kinetic scrolling in the GtkScrolledWindow.
However, dropping the delta check causes the X11-based kinetic
scroll to break since we don't have the stop event here. Correct handling of
xf86-input-libinput-based scroll events is still being discussed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756729
This adds support for the new wl_pointer events available in v5.
The wl_pointer.axis_source events can be ignored for the purposes here, the
main reason they exist is so that the combination of axis_source=finger and
axis_stop triggers kinetic scrolling. We don't need to care about the source,
axis_stop is enough for us to tell us when we're scrolling.
The wl_pointer.frame events group events together and is intended as a
mechanism to coalesce events together. This for example allows us to now
send a single GTK scroll event for a diagonal scroll. Previously, the two
wl_pointer.axis events had to be handled separately.
The wl_pointer.axis_discrete event sends mouse wheel clicks where
appropriate, and is translated into up/down/left/right scroll events.

When a cursor is specified in gdk_seat_grab(), the cursor is reverted as
soon as the pointer enters or leaves another window.
To avoid this issue, store the grab cursor separately, so we force-apply
it in ::set_window_cursor(). Also, unset early the seat info from the
window on gdk_seat_ungrab(), so the next time switch_to_pointer_grab()
happens we end up picking the cursor set for the window underneath the
pointer window.

We destroy the widget that is wrapped around the drag window
when the object data on the drag context gets cleared. Destroying
the window before that happens leads to unpleasantries. E.g. we may
try to access the frame clock, which doesn't exist anymore, and
things go downhill from there. So, keep the window alive for
a little longer.
X11 has the notions of "transient for group", and while it's an ICCCM
violation, it's commonly used and documented that a window manager
would treat a window with transient_for set to None to transient for all
windows of its group.
gtk uses this when an application sets a dialog type window but does not
specify an explicit transient.
While this works on X11, there is no such thing as groups in Wayland and
the closest equivalent which is set_parent() in xdg-shell takes only one
parent. This is what is used for modal dialogs.
To get something similar in behavior to what is available on X11, a
solution is to update the parent() of the dialogs without transient when
the active surface changes.

Quite a few applications use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP to create various
temporary windows and place then on screen. That works fine on X11 but
on Wayland there is no global coordinate system for regular surfaces.
If the application is using a gdk temp window and set a parent with
gtk_window_transient_for(), the gdk wayland backend has all it needs to
create a subsurface that can be placed at will by the application.

In most places, we can do with the pointer/keyboard of the default seat
instead of the client pointer. We can also remove some code from
gdk_input_init() because we know for sure there's no floating devices to
care about here.
Gdk Wayland backend walks up the transient windows tree, but does not
check for cycles when doing so.
As a result, if two or more windows are transient to each other, the
Wayland gdk backend will enter an infinite loop.
While this is clearly a bug in the application, gtk+/gdk should be more
robust and handle such errors more gracefully.
To avoid looping infinitely at various point in the code, check for a
possible loop when setting the transient relationship and deny the
request to set a window transient for another if that would create a
loop.

gdk-wayland backend would not re-configure a surface when its size and
scale match the known size and scale.
But there might be a pending xdg_surface_configure() that would revert
this change so we should re-configure even if the currently known
size/scale match, otherwise we may end up with a wrong size after the
xdg_surface_configure() is received.

If we "release" the button first, the drag will be eventually cancelled,
we must first signal GDK_DROP_FINISHED, and then release the button so
the success status prevails.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to have this stored as data offer data,
rather together with the source_targets array, which is what we're
poking here in the end.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758713
Dissociate ownership from our maintenance of wl_data_source objects.
The only place where ownership must be updated together is
data_source.cancelled, for the other places GDK should take care of
setting up the right ownership, even if at a different order than
we'd expect here.
This fixes GTK+ apps on wayland being locally confused about the
current selection ownership. Because gtk_selection_add_targets()
results in a wl_data_source being created, and ownership being
updated right away, early callers of this will change the ownership
even if the widget it's being called on didn't explicitly request
the selection ownership yet.

Instead of having our own copy of the pointer gestures XML file, use
the one installed by wayland-protocols.
Since pointer gestures is an unstable protocol, it went through the
unstable protocol naming convention changes, which is reflected in this

After the grab is finished, we would expect an enter event, and
GDK updating internally the cursor for that window and device.
This means there is no need at all to store it separately in the
backend.
As a side effect, animated cursors are now also possible on grab
icons.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735847
Other backends take care of the cairo surface destruction in
GdkWindow::destroy. We must do the same here, or the cairo_surface
and its corresponding wl_buffer are left dangling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747295
If the buffer of a cursor is NULL, for example if its an empty cursor,
just set the cursor surface to NULL as well. Not doing this we'll use
uninitialized hotspot coordinates, dimensions and scales.

This GdkDragContext should be created even if we don't have pointer
capabilities. Make it created on add_seat(), and only set the device
on wl_seat.capabilities, so it can be set to either master pointer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741066
We use the high-level gdk_device_get_window_at_position() to figure
out the window, although this one actually tries to find out the
current window under the device coordinates, which might well fall
outside the window, so NULL is returned in those cases.
Fix this by using the lower level _gdk_device_window_at_position()
that will return the toplevel without further lookups, so is more
desirable here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758250
Now that we have multiple master pointers, this call may pick the wrong one.
Instead, pick the GdkWaylandDeviceData from the first device, and pick the
master pointer from there.
The common GDK code accounts for "pointer emulating" touch sequences to be
synchronized with the pointer position by the windowing system.
However on Wayland pointer and touch are completely independent, the backend
attempts to implement pointer emulation, but doesn't account for the
possible crossing events happening when the user switches from pointer to
touch or the opposite.
In order to fix this, and to ensure we don't have to interact with the
master pointer (which backs the wl_pointer), separate the touch interface
to have its own master pointer, and ensure crossing events are emitted on
it, so the picture of an "emulated pointer" is complete above the backend.

We were using that range for the extra buttons after left/right/middle,
while this is harmless for clients not handling extra buttons (we
used to translate those button events into scroll events in x11 anyway)
this will be unexpected for clients that do handle additional mouse
buttons themselves (eg. back/forward buttons present in some mice).
In order to remain compatible with X11, those need to be assigned from
button 8 onwards.
Also, include input.h, and stop using magic numbers here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758072
Make sure the wayland backend sets a new geometry when the client
resizes itself, otherwise the compositor won't be notified and may

If a GtkMenu (or something else that is mapped as a xdg_popup) tries to
use a subsurface window as a parent, it will be terminated by the
compositor due to protocol violation. So to avoid this, if a parent
window is not a xdg_popup or xdg_surface, i.e. a wl_subsurface, then
traverse up the transient parents until we find the right popup parent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756780
Tooltips tend to be placed on top of a parent surface with a given
relative coordinate, and without any input focus. So lets map them as
subsurfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756496
Restructure the mapping procedure so that its known up front what the
expected way mapping is to be done (subsurface, popup or stand alone),
and warn if it fails to actually map in such a way (for example a popup
without a parent or device grab, a tooltip without a parent).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756496
GDK_NOTIFY_ANCESTOR would happen when the pointer crosses across a direct
parent/child. However nonlinear events are more likely, specially when
the pointer moves across toplevels (either different apps, or menus being
popped up over the pointer position).
This makes popping up comboboxes and other menus that fall over the pointer
position possible. With the previous detail the GtkMenu code misinterpreted
the crossing event, making it think the button release coming right after
should dismiss the popup, which made menus just flash on the screen unless
you kept the button pressed.
If the shared context is in legacy mode, or if the creation of a core
profile context failed, we fall back to an EGL context in compatibility
mode.
Since we're relying on a fairly new EGL implementation for Wayland, we
don't fall back to the older EGL API, and instead we always require the
EGL_KHR_create_context extension.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756142
keyboard_handle_leave() might be called with a NULL surface resource
(for example if the surface was destroyed after the event was sent). If
so, we should still deal with the keyboard focus lost event, otherwise
we will both leak (the keyboard_focus GdkWindow reference) and miss
stopping the key repeat timer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755927
gdk_wayland_device_update_window_cursor() is inconsistently returning
TRUE/FALSE, despite the timeout being always replaced for new cursor
frames. This could end up in these timeouts being "leaked" and running
as long as the window has an animated cursor.
Fix this by making it really sure we return G_SOURCE_REMOVE, although
now we keep track of animation delays, so the timeout will be reused
for constant time animations.
Initially the subsurface will be in synchronized mode and we will leave
it like this until the first time the parent surface has been committed.
The reason for this is because the subsurface position will be applied
as part of the parent surface state, and we need to synchronize the
initial position with the initial frame, so that we don't accidentally
draw the subsurface at the default position (0, 0) which would happen in
desynchronized mode if the subsurface content is committed before the
next parent surface commit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754839
If we are using gl for drawing, we don't have a shm surface,
so don't assert that we do. Instead, only call shm-specific
apis when they make sense.
This fixes a crash when showing popovers over a GtkGLArea,
as seen in gdkgears.

When receiving a selection or when a drag icon enter a window, it was
targeted at a specific window. Lets emit the GDK_OWNER_CHANGE event
only for this window, instead of broadcasting.
Broadcasting has some nasty side effects. For example, if there was n
GdkWindows, and one would for every "owner-change" signal handler
receive n signals about the owner being changed.
An example of where this went a bit out of hand was gnome-terminal,
which added one listener per terminal window. This meant that if
one had m number of terminal windows, each time any one would loose or
gain keyboard focus, O(m^2) owner-change events would be emitted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754158
The code in _gdk_wayland_window_dispose was not safe against
being called twice - it would call g_hash_table_destroy twice
on the known_globals hash table, the second time operating on
freed memory. It was also leaking the list of async_roundtrips.
After fixing both of these issues, the displayclose testcase
now works on Wayland.
We call gdk_wayland_window_hide_surface when the window gets
destroyed, and in this case, the frame clock might not exist
anymore.
This was showing up in the displayclose testcase.
While we do not have subwindows in Wayland, we do create an
artificial root window. When the display is closed, the root
window gets destroyed, causing recursing to be true for the
toplevel windows.
As the protocol is still considered unstable (meaning not backward
compatible), we should, as stated in the protocol, only bind the version
advertised is the version we implement.

Prior to this patch, the ID of the GtkApplication was always used for
clients which were GtkApplications. This would only be guaranteed to be
correct for D-Bus activatable programs. As a result, all
non-D-Bus-activatable applications would set the wrong ID making the
shell unable to find the corresponding .desktop file.
This change makes it so that the GDK backend always uses the name
passed to g_set_prgname, or the default value if not explicitly set, as
this more often corresponds to the .desktop file.
This means that in order to make D-Bus activatable applications set the
correct application ID, they must, for now, manually call
g_set_prgname() with their application ID (basename of the .desktop
file).
If g_get_prgname() returns NULL, fallback to gdk_get_program_class()
even though it will most likely never be correct according to the
xdg_surface.set_app_id specification.

wl_log() currently logs using G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR
(which is fatal). The wayland client library doesn't
expect this behavior. It uses wl_log to log recoverable
errors.
This commit changes the log level to G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753635
On wayland, the gestures protocol defines a wl_pointer_gestures global
object, that will match in number with wl_seats, swipe and pinch
interfaces can be obtained from it, which events are translated into
GdkEventTouchpadSwipe/Pinch events.
Only a drag context which was created with 'drag_begin' will be
guaranteed to have a source window at all times. Thus, in finalize we
cannot assume we can retrieve a GdkDisplay from the source_window
pointer since it may be NULL. Though, the display is only needed for
contexts created via 'drag_begin' thus we can retrieve it after
checking that is the case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749339
We need to be mapped to have a gtk_surface and thus be able to do
requests on it so we need to save the modal hint and apply it when we
get mapped so that code that sets the hint before showing a window
doesn't get ignored.

-1 means that we have no specific preference for an initial
fullscreen monitor, and -1 is less than the number of monitors,
so we would end up accessing invalid memory. Prevent that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752875
Prior to this patch, the hotspot would be passed in buffer coordinate
space. Where this were ever tested, i.e. in a patched mutter, the
server interpreted them incorrectly, which meant it went undiscovered.
In the updated mutter patches the incorrect behavior in GTK+ was
discovered due to the behavior in mutter was corrected.
In the themed cursor case, the dimensions were not correctly scaled
either, but this had no negative visible effect because the dimension is
only used for reporting damage tracking, and passing a bigger damage
region than surface has no negative visible effects.

Under Wayland, fullscreen/maximized windows may not cover the entire
area when a size increment is specified.
Ignore size increments for fullscreen/maximized windows just like most
window managers do under X11 so that windows with size increments can
still be fullscreen or fully maximized under Wayland as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751368
We mistakenly forced the "STRING" type, which was able to confuse higher
layer helpers like gtk_selection_data_get_uris(). This fixes a crash
happening anytime a drop is attempted on a GtkPlacesSidebar.
Currently, due to the lack of progress information in the Wayland DnD
protocol, we assume a DnD operation is finished after the first
data_source.send is finished (It's either that or leaving stuck grabs).
This however breaks previous assumptions that dest widgets can request
the data multiple times, even in response to GtkWidget::drag-motion.
This leaves us with a NULL owner for the DnD atom when we aren't
finished receiving wl_data_source events yet, causing a crash.
This commit fixes the crash, the behavior left is still far from
desirable though...
And force the ungrab on it, instead of the slave, in the case of
local DnD drop. This avoids confusions on the pointer events spawn
from DnD, as GDK doesn't think anymore those are from a slave device.
Most namely, it fixes the stuck grab when finishing DnD on the
same app it was started from.
We currently only hold the last offer received, which is wrong, as both
are independent and have different life cycles.
This means we have to store per-selection wl_data_offer and targets, and
maintain these as appropriate from the clipboard/DnD specific entry points.
This oddly can be reproduced with weston+weston-dnd, when dragging
anything from GTK+ into weston-dnd, it will insist on picking its
custom application/x-wayland-dnd-flower mimetype, and this request
forwarded by the compositor, even if GTK+ didn't announce it on
its wl_data_source mimetype list. (What should probably happen here
is that the request is silenced, and/or weston-dnd picks (null))
This should be harmless, we are leaking though the fd in that case,
because the emission of GdkEventSelection on an unhandled mimetype
results in NOP. In order to avoid this, we should check whether the
mimetype is supported at all on the backend code and possibly close
the fd, this involves storing these in the first place.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751414
If the other peer requests data too fast (too rare/unlikely though),
we might receive multiple gdk_wayland_selection_request_target() calls
with no ending gdk_wayland_selection_check_write(), in which case the
fd is leaked as no GOutputStream was created to take over it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751414
We weren't catching all the places where the AsyncWriteData operation
should be cancelled, which could happen if we repeatedly request the
same target on different fds.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751414
At the moment we create the AsyncWriteData, the ownership of the
fd is granted to the GOutputStream, and the fd set to -1, so at
this moment we're just silently getting EBADFD.
This partially reverts 25885ca600, the initialization of .fd
to -1 is valid and stays though.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751414
On X11 this is something the windowing system does for us, which the
wayland backend should emulate, being grabs completely client-side.
So, if the grab and current focus windows differ, make sure we emit
focus/crossing events as it corresponds to the grab device.
This was being done so only on pointers. Internally, a GdkDeviceGrabInfo
is kept for each of the master pointer/keyboard, failing to do this for
keyboards results in a stuck keyboard grab.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748892
The fd must be closed on async_write_data_free(), but we should also
initialize it to -1 so gdk_wayland_selection_check_write() doesn't wrongly
pick the stdin fd.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751414
A subsurface positioning operation only takes effect when the parent
surfaces state is applied. If a subsurface is mapped and positioned, but
the parent surface state is not immediately committed, the relative
position of the subsurface is undefined and may be placed incorrectly.
To avoid this undefined state, always request that the parent surface
should be committed after mapping a subsurface so that the position
operation will take effect.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751098
If a menu was not attached to any widget, we try to calculate its
position given where the grabbed pointer is and what window has its
focus. Previously we failed to do so if a "transfer window" was used
for the grab, and this patch adds a code path that, if the menu window
itself didn't have the grab, look for the transfer window and get the
grab device from there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748951
If a position was already explicitly set, don't try to guess the
position of popup menus by looking at the pointer position, just use
the set coordinates.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748951
According to the xdg-shell protocol specification the (x, y) coordinates
passed when creating a popup surface is relative to top left corner of
the parent surface, but prior to this patch, if the parent surface
was an xdg_surface, we'd position it relative to top left corner of the
window geometry of that xdg_surface.

On wl_keyboard.key/modifiers, we're just forgetting about currently
pressed mouse buttons. Fix this by storing button and key modifiers
separately, and put these together when creating the GdkEvents.
Some features need certain globals to initialize. In order to deal with
these dependencies, add a way to postpone closures that depend on a
certain set of globals, that later will be invoked when required
globals are all received.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719819
Instead use asynchronous round trips that is synchronized in the end of
the initialization. This makes it easier to track state, as we won't
dispatch arbitrary Wayland messages while processing globals.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719819
The ordering of globals in connection setup under weston
is different from mutter, and we end up creating a the
dnd window before any outputs are present. Don't cause
a critical warning in that case.
I was getting really weird values for scale for the blank cursor used
when hiding the cursor in a GtkEntry when typing, this was caused
by gdk_wayland_device_update_window_cursor sending random values
when the returned buffer was NULL.
We fix this by just not sending any buffer or scale updates in this
case.
GdkKeymap already has support for _get_num_lock_state() and
_get_caps_lock_state(). Adding _get_scroll_lock_state() would be good
for completness and some backends (Windows?) could take advantage of
this.
Add two new requests to the gtk_surface interface: set_modal and
unset_modal. The server will currently not do anything special with
input focus, and its up to the client to ignore events on the parent
surface.
This commit bumps the gtk_shell interface version to 2. By connecting to
a Wayland server with another gtk_shell interface version any features
depending on the gtk_shell protocol will not be available.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745721
gdk_wayland_drop_context_set_status() can't do much else currently besides
picking a mimetype (the first one is currently chosen). This may incorrectly
unset the mimetype chosen on .receive(), so the transfer is cancelled before
it even starts.
At the time drop_reply happens, we should have already picked a mimetype
along the way, so only cover for accepted=FALSE in order to unset it.
During drag operations from another client, we currently set no window as
the DnD source. There's paths in upper layers though that rely on it being
set, just that we don't trigger these yet.
When we open the connection, we get the wl_output object,
but we return before all the information such as monitor
geometry has arrived, which causes us to misinform early
users of this information. Do a roundtrip here that causes
us to wait until the information is complete. Do the same
for seats, just in case.

The "app_id" of a xdg_surface should be the ID that can potentially be
used to get the DBUS name or the .desktop file.
For GtkApplication programs this is often the ID passed when creating the
GtkApplication object, so when available lets use that.
As fallbacks, first try g_get_prgname as it often corresponds to the
basename part of the .dektop file for non-GtkApplication programs.
Otherwise use gdk_get_program_class, even though that string usually
doesn't conform to the expectations of xdg_surface.set_application_id.

During copy/paste, it may be common that we receive several property changes
around the selection atom, this results in warnings when cancelling the previous
write attempt. We already honor the last request properly, so we should just
cancel silently.
The wl_data_source may be the clipboard's. Looking up the drag context in
order to get the display isn't going to fare well there. So, just use the
default display, and only look up the drag context when we know we need it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746386
Support scaling of cursors created from themes. The default scale is
always 1, but if the pointer cursor surface enters an output with a
higher scale, load the larger version of the cursor theme and use the
image from that theme.
This assumes the theme size is set to one that fits with an output scale
= 1.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746141
The setting of the the surface scale even when the surface is not
created from a surface was introduced due to a crash when getting the
buffers when dividing by the scale. The only reason I can see this is
that we get the buffer from a non-existing surface when the wl_cursor
has not yet been set.
Instead, use the name field to avoid trying to use the non-existing
surface, effectively avoiding the division-by-zero that way.

When a window is hidden, its surface and all its roles are destroyed,
if this happens when we already issued a wl_surface_commit and are
awaiting for a frame callback, the clock will remain frozen for the
next time the window is shown.
To avoid this, keep track of the wl_surface_frame() calls issued,
and ensure the clock is thawed after hiding. If we happen to receive
the frame callback, it is just ignored.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743427
We were just throwing the request away if the app asks to
fullscreen or maximize a window before it has been mapped.
This is something the GdkWindow API explicitly supports,
so make it work by saving the state until the surface exists.
This fixes things under weston. There are bugs in mutter
that keep this from working correctly with gnome-shell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745303
When the Wayland compositor vanishes, all applications connected will
receive a SIGPIPE as soon as they try to use wl_display_dispatch().
Do not use g_error() to terminate the applications when this occurs,
g_error() means an error in the application while here it's not truly
the case.
Use g_warning() and exit() instead.

Before this patch, we'd always allocate a full size SHM buffer via

In order to support window scales for EGL windows, resize the
wl_egl_window to the window dimension multiplied with the window scale,

When the preferred surface scale changes, for example when entering a
wl_output with a higher scale than any previous entered output, recreate
the shm surface and redraw the window content with the new window scale.
Before this patch, the internal scale would be changed, but the shm
surface would not be recreated given the new scale, i.e. we'd attach a
buffer for a different scale than wl_surface.set_scale specified.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745076
If the compositor is too old for handling surface buffer scales, never
tyr to set change it. This will effectively always leave it to its
initial state, i.e. 1.

It will be useless to check the source window on the destination side,
it's at the moment always NULL. Fetch the display from the device instead,
which will be set for every GdkDragContext.
Some compositors might not offer wl_seat 4 resulting in GTK+ clients not
working on that compositor.
wl_seat 4 introduces keyboard repeat information, but when that information
is missing it is retrieved from settings, hence there's no reason to
require wl_seat 4.

The existence of OpenGL implementations that do not provide the full
core profile compatibility because of reasons beyond the technical, like
llvmpipe not implementing floating point buffers, makes the existence of
GdkGLProfile and documenting the fact that we use core profiles a bit
harder.
Since we do not have any existing profile except the default, we can
remove the GdkGLProfile and its related API from GDK and GTK+, and sweep
the whole thing under the carpet, while we wait for an extension that
lets us ask for the most compatible profile possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744407
Now that we have a two-stages GL context creation sequence, we can move
the profile to a pre-realize option, like the debug and forward
compatibility bits, or the GL version to use.
One of the major requests by OpenGL users has been the ability to
specify settings when creating a GL context, like the version to use
or whether the debug support should be enabled.
We have a couple of requirements in terms of API:
• avoid, if at all possible, the "C arrays of integers with
attribute, value pairs", which are hard to write and hard
to bind in non-C languages.
• allow failing in a recoverable way.
• do not make the GL context creation API a mess of arguments.
Looking at prior art, it seems that a common pattern is to split the
construction phase in two:
• a first phase that creates a GL context wrapper object and
does preliminary checks on the environment.
• a second phase that creates the backend-specific GL object.
We adopted a similar pattern:
• gdk_window_create_gl_context() creates a GdkGLContext
• gdk_gl_context_realize() creates the underlying resources
Calling gdk_gl_context_make_current() also realizes the context, so
simple GL users do not need to care. Advanced users will want to
call gdk_window_create_gl_context(), set up the optional requirements,
and then call gdk_gl_context_realize(). If either of these two steps
fails, it's possible to recover by changing the requirements, or simply
creating a new GdkGLContext instance.
