the current spec does not directly require any behavior from clients
when a systray host, leading to an issue where clients do not re-register
their items when a new host appears
when using an in-process systray watcher, as the current implementation does,
the best choice for maintaining consistency for systray items across restarts
is to cache them according to the current dbus session. the process of setting
up the item will validate it on subsequent restarts, and changes to the session
will clear the cache
fix T2786
bottom line, this is a pile-of-shit protocol to work with if you're compositing. at present, any xembeds which were present before a nocomp event will be permanently destroyed, and they can't be recovered until the app re-creates them. afaik, no app does this unless you restart it.
huge fustercluck commit because there wasn't really a way to separate out the changes. better to just rip it all out at once.
* compositor and window management completely rewritten. this was the goal for E19, but it pretty much required everything existing to be scrapped since it wasn't optimized, streamlined, or sensible. now instead of having the compositor strapped to the window manager like an outboard motor, it's housed more like an automobile engine.
** various comp structs have been merged into other places (eg. E_Comp_Zone is now just part of E_Zone where applicable), leading to a large deduplication of attributes
** awful E_Comp_Win is totally dead, having been replaced with e_comp_object smart objects which work just like normal canvas objects
** protocol-specific window management and compositor functionality is now kept exclusively in backend files
** e_pixmap api provides generic client finding and rendering api
** screen/xinerama screens are now provided directly by compositor on startup and re-set on change
** e_comp_render_update finally replaced with eina_tiler
** wayland compositor no longer creates X windows
** compositor e_layout removed entirely
* e_container is gone. this was made unnecessary in E18, but I kept it to avoid having too much code churn in one release. its sole purpose was to catch some events and handle window stacking, both of which are now just done by the compositor infra
* e_manager is just for screensaver and keybind stuff now, possibly remove later?
* e_border is gone along with a lot of its api. e_client has replaced it, and e_client has been rewritten completely; some parts may be similar, but the design now relies upon having a functional compositor
** window configuration/focus functions are all removed. all windows are now managed solely with evas_object_X functions on the "frame" member of a client, just as any other canvas object can be managed.
*** do NOT set interceptors on a client's comp_object. seriously.
* startup order rewritten: compositor now starts much earlier, other things just use attrs and members of the compositor
* ecore_x_pointer_xy_get usage replaced with ecore_evas_pointer_xy_get
* e_popup is totally gone, existing usage replaced by e_comp_object_util_add where applicable, otherwise just placed normally on the canvas
* deskmirror is (more) broken for now
* illume is totally fucked
* Ecore_X_Window replaced with Ecore_Window in most cases
* edge binding XWindows replaced with regular canvas objects
* some E_Win functionality has changed such that delete callbacks are now correctly called in ALL cases. various dialogs have been updated to not crash as a result

This fix a bug that was empty dbus notification when shelf is moved and
also allow multiple instance if some day we drop xembed support.

There is a new d-bus systray spec by KDE that is less retarded. It's
used by KDE and other environments such as Ubuntu's Unity. We'll
integrate code to have E17 to support this spec, then we must separate
the XEmbed part into its own file to avoid confusion.

added e_menu_item_new_relative(E_Menu, E_Menu_Item *rel) which appends
new item to rel or prepends it when rel is NULL.
changed e_gadcon_util_client_menu_append to to take only the gadget menu
and returns the new toplevel menu that should be shown by gcc
depending on the setting this is a new menu with gadget menu as submenu
or the gadet_menu with gadget menu items appended
updated e-modules-extra comes in a minute
