so every time i restart e i have my windows all messed up. it's
INSANELY annoying and time consuming every single time having to move
a dozen or more windows back to where they should be just because i
restarted e. i've narrowed it down to 2 places. 1 which is trying to
handle "out of screen" windows and during startup it seems things are
not quite stable yet as the randr code figures things out until the
event storm settles down.
when this is then fixed - another bit of code just shuffles windows up
all the time by a titlebar whcih is also supremely annoying. this is
the code that adopes a new frame for a window.
so the nasty hack to avoid piles of pain right now is for the first 5
seconds of e's life - don't do this stuff. at least you can now use e
and not be annoyed to hell and back every restart.
yes a nicer fix may be better - but that's going to take a lot more
time and patience and until then - this will do.
if an action triggers on a window, the triggering mouse event should
not be passed to the window. the only way to determine this is if the
action object lives through the entire event
this removes the per desktop profile config and replaces it with a
per-screen one that is tied to a specific display so it is far more
logical than per desktop. this allows e to set up different scaling
per screen for apps that use elementary for example via this derived
profile.
this of course is slightly problematic for e itself since it now uses
elm - as this will cause e to go kind-of-crazy with differing profiles
as it fights with itself and elm if 2 screens have different profiles.
this requires elm to be fixed to allow custom profiles per window.
this also currently won't switch profile of a window when you
reconfigure screens.

since forever, sticky windows have not been allowed to receive focus after
various events, eg. desk flip or window close. in some workflows, however,
this may actually be desired behavior
disabled by default
fix T2837
a sticky window previously would always have the desk set for where
it was set as sticky, meaning that anything which tries to access it
will be reading wrong data here.
more useful information to provide is the last desk which the sticky
client was focused on, so update that upon focusing it
wayland clients which have csd must be resized according to window geometry,
not client (surface) geometry. this is somewhat tricky to handle because x11
clients which have csd work the exact opposite way and must continue to be
managed using client geometry
this is not my ideal solution for this issue, but I can't think of a
better one at this time which fully fixes wayland client maximization
focusing a client will automatically uniconify and desk flip, so
setting focus on a hidden client should be avoided during eval since
these focus-sets are not "user triggered"
this fixes issues where clients could randomly grab focus from other
desks and also restores expected behavior when restarting e on an
empty vdesk
this prevents an infinite focus loop where focus will be constantly
reapplied between multiple windows if the activated window is not the
refocus window
deferred focus should no longer be valid if a client has been hidden
before the focus-set could be triggered
fixes super fun infinite loop with desk flips
previously, beginning a drag with the left button, then pressing and
releasing another button would result in the drag terminating without
the original button being released
this is a not-great way of hacking around various issues related to
the efl mouse button cancel patches that went in for the 1.15 cycle
which changed the entire mouse input workings of the toolkit.
to avoid further issues, the compositor will explicitly block eventing
on all internal canvases during actions
