Passive grabs may take pointer focus out of the application, even though
the pointer didn't leave the window, but those events still trigger resetting
of the scroll axes. This is most visible with compiz, and possibly other
reparenting WMs, where passive grabs happen on the WM-managed window that
is a parent of the application toplevel.
As it is not possible to have scrolling happening on the timespan a passive
grab takes action, it is entirely safe for GTK+ to assume none happened if
it gets a crossing event of that nature.

This information will be useful in case someone stumbles on a situation
similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699574, so we can
figure out where do the crossing events come from or go to easily.
It's been reported in several applications that scrolling feels jerky
since commit cc7b3985b3.
Investigation reported that the combination of passive 4-7 button grabs
on the toplevel and the presence of native subwindows might trigger
too often crossing events from the child window to the toplevel and
back as scroll "buttons" trigger the passive grab. Those crossing events
would reset the scroll valuators rendering scrolling from jerky on
touchpads (where there's intermediate smooth events between the emulated
button ones) to ineffective on regular mouse wheels (where the crossing
event would reset the valuators right before the single smooth scroll
event we get is delivered)
So, only reset scroll valuators when the pointer enters the toplevel
(we only care about this when the pointer is on the window after it's
been possibly scrolling somewhere else), and it doesn't come from an
inferior.
The situations where this happened varied though, the native subwindow
could be one created explicitly by the application, or created indirectly
through gdk_window_ensure_native(). The latter was mainly the case for
evolution (through gtk_selection_set_owner()) and any GtkScrolledWindow
under the oxygen-gtk3 theme (through gdk_window_set_composited())

Add a GtkSetting for whether the desktop shell is showing the desktop
folder icons.
This is on by default because most desktop shells do show the icons on
the desktop. We already have a patch in gnome-settings-daemon to bind
this to the org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons GSettings
key which is off by default on GNOME.

We add a custom im module for broadway that calls some broadway
specific APIs to show/hide the keyboard on focus in/out. We then forward this
to the browser, and on the ipad we focus an input field to activate
the keyboard.
The broadway backend would move the focus from one window to another based on
where the mouse was (i.e. 'focus-follows-mouse' approach). Handling the focus
this wait didn't play well with widgets which rely on focus-in-event and
focus-out-event, like the GtkEntry when using a completion popup window, see
e.g:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708984
So instead, setup broadway to require a click in a window to move the focus
(i.e. 'click-to-focus' approach):
* The implicit GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE events that were generated upon reception of
BROADWAY_EVENT_ENTER or BROADWAY_EVENT_LEAVE are removed.
* The broadway daemon will now keep track of which is the focused window
* Whenever the daemon detects an incoming BROADWAY_EVENT_BUTTON_PRESS, it will
trigger the focused window switch, which sends a new BROADWAY_EVENT_FOCUS to
the client, specifying which windows holds the focus.
* Upon reception of a BROADWAY_EVENT_FOCUS, the client will generate a new
GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE.
* gdk_broadway_window_focus() was also implemented, which now requests the
focus to the broadway server using a new BROADWAY_REQUEST_FOCUS_WINDOW.
This is based on an initial patch from Aleksander Morgado <aleksander@lanedo.com>.
If a motion event handler (or other handler running from the flush-events
phase of the frame clock) recursed the main loop then flushing wouldn't
complete until after the recursed main loop returned, and various aspects
of the state would get out of sync.
To fix this, change flushing of the event queue to simply mark events as
ready to flush, and let normal event delivery handle the rest.

Although I can't find explicit documentation for clipboard pointer, it
seems to be possible to modify clibpoard memory without side-effects.
According to MSDN,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366596%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
"The global and local functions are supported for porting from 16-bit
code, or for maintaining source code compatibility with 16-bit
Windows. Starting with 32-bit Windows, the global and local functions
are implemented as wrapper functions that call the corresponding heap
functions using a handle to the process's default heap."
"Memory objects allocated by GlobalAlloc and LocalAlloc are in private,
committed pages with read/write access that cannot be accessed by other
processes. Memory allocated by using GlobalAlloc with GMEM_DDESHARE is
not actually shared globally as it is in 16-bit Windows. This value has
no effect and is available only for compatibility. "

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.

This is based on the rolling hashes code from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/weston/log/?h=remote
It works by incrementally calculating hashes for every 32x32 block
in each frame sent, and then refering back to such blocks when
encoding the next frame. This means we detect when a block matches
an existing block in the previous frame in a different position.
This is great for detecting scrolling, which we need now that
the gdk level scrolling is neutered.
The MINMAXINFO struct was being populated based upon geometry hints when
GDK_HINT_MAX_SIZE flag was enabled, then promptly having its values blown
away with default values.
