e_uuid_store provides an API to store various window/surface properties
in a mmapped shm memory object based on an assigned UUID. Its main purpose
will be to provide storage of these properties during session recovery when
E acts as a wayland compositor.
@feature
instead of adding specific handling which will work (sometimes) in one specific case, expand already-existing api to provide the needed functionality for iconify animations. now on emitting any signal to a comp object, optional glob-able effect providers can be hooked and prioritized to add effect animations
also use animating flags now when applying an object effect
a base effect is provided in elementary, but now each module which wants to hook iconify animations (or other events) can do so in the theme and have different animations with their module
ibox now uses this as an initial test. there are teething problems:
1. unknown location for new icon (guess that its on right)
2. stacking - the animation is at the stacking layer of the comp obj
... this probably needs a way for the comp shobj to request a
temporary stacking change until anim done
after this commit, the new-but-invisible module "lokker" (or other custom loaded module) is in charge of creating all graphics for the lock screen, and it will be added to the user's config. failure to load a lockscreen module will just result in a black screen
desklock subsystem now handles all the pre/post lock stuff while the modules themselves are responsible for creating visuals and calling auth functions to determine whether to unlock the screen
* try to clear up build system for separating out ecore-x
* add #ifdefs for lots of ecore-x stuff
* break out some internal e wl functions for reuse in api
* store wl surface buffers as an inlist
* add protocol-specific client compositor data
** move lots of X client attributes here
* add pixmap type checks to a number of X-specific things, such as grabinput, to block them for non-X clients
* rearrange startup order to work with wayland
* move X screensaver code to e_comp_x
* flag modules still requiring X with -DNEED_X
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
comp files and descriptions:

feature: new compositor
removal: e_border, e_container, e_popup
* remove xwin for container canvas: now drawn directly on the compositor canvas
* added SHAPE_DEBUG define for bored developers
* bindings now use new e struct for mouse/wheel events
* container+zone now get mouse events from smart callbacks instead of x events
* rename comp api namespace
* change comp underlay theme to have a swallow for the wallpaper
* add names to all zone/container/comp objects to make debugging much easier
* some minor related updates to go along with this

* Move compositor to core, but letting the configuration there
* Rename all files and functions from e_mod_comp_* to e_comp_*
* Move the config dialogs to a new module named conf_comp. It still
uses a domain config, otherwise it would not pick the current
user's configuration. Maybe it would be wise to later on move these
options to e_config
* Fixup the wizard mess linking the header in the build tree in order
to be able to create the config. Since now it's in core, we don't
need to play linking games in the build system
I'm not sure if the wayland part works. It was not even building
previously so I'll let for who cares about this to actually test and
report bugs.

used). removed setting up and deletion of keybindings - now its in
normal keybindings config territory. set them up yourself. much more
solid now. happy.

and anything thats a child that it launches) with... a GUI.. for all
the people who go "so.. how can i set an environment variable"... ie
peopl who dont know how to customis bashrc's or write xinitrc's and
use them etc.. which these days is a LOT of people... :(
note - it's advanced for people with advanced needs, thus its not the

- e_widget_aspect has issues when used in toolbook (so we don't use it here).
- Still a couple of TODOs in this:
Respect zone aspect.
Use livethumb for previews.

This huge commit will add e_fm2_op_registry, a central place that will
store all on-going operations. You will find that it will report when
operations are added, remove and when they change, for example when
they change progress.
Please notice that the recommended way to present information is to
add listener to specific entries, as opposed to use
E_EVENT_FM_OP_REGISTRY_CHANGED since it will be called immediately and
you do not have to filter which entry is being changed.
Entries will be associated with the e_fm object that originated
it. With that one can get the Ecore_X_Window and request the window to
be raised from somewhere else (ie: gadman/gadget). If object is
deleted (ie: window is closed), the pointer will be made NULL and it
will be a "windowless operation".
TO DO (I need someone to do those):
- e_fwin: windows should present on-going operations as an overlay,
Dave Andreolli already started such work, it's just a matter of
using the new infrastructure.
- create a new gadget that present all on-going operations and maybe
a history. It would be nice to show the e_fwin of if the entry is
clicked, as well as a cancel button and a progress bar. See
"places" module, make them similar.

* remove illume custom config dialog - use normal one
* add toolbar used in config dialog. will be used for more. makes ui more
compact and flexible.
* make dialog windows optionally ALWAYS be "normal windows".
* config module exports a config gadget now - illume doesnt need it anymore

can select yourself as a user). also any scaling either calculated from dpi
or set by the user is limited to the min/max values a user can impose (thus
even if you have very low dpi, e doesn't go below a scaling factor you set -
eg 1.0 or 0.5, and same for upscaling).
this should
1. keep all the people who want scalable UI's happy (enable scaling).
2. make e able to (if u want) to adapt to pretty much any dpi screen and
selectively scale just what u want it to.
3. allw you - the user, to be the final controller of just how much to scale
- if you like scaling but think it scales too much - then limit it or set
your own.
right now this will onyl work if your theme supports it... the b&w one does
(mostly). so try that and test. other bits of e need to adapt to this too
(shelf, icon sizes, etc. etc.) as they are not done via edje but code sets
them.

wallpaper dialog, theme dialog, and other places. This provides a common
widget for file lists with less duplicated code. This also fixes a problem
with the wallpaper/theme dialogs when you tried to use keyboard arrows to
navigate the list, the next item in list was not being selected.
E_Widget_FSel should be ported to use this new widget for file listings.

1. configure/build changes to allow cross-compiling painlessly
2. pager module namespace changes - this was still dirty afdter the namespace
cleanup, so clean it up
3. add a powersave subsystem - doesnt have an "automatic" way to turn on and
off right now, this i think is best provided by modules (that do things like
monitor acpi status's (eg close lid of laptop), AC power status etc. etc.
this allows e to nicely defer "power" expensive actions to avoid disk
spinups etc.
4. move to use the new ecore poller system - discussed long ago as part of
power management/saving issues. now it exists
5. add a canvas idle flush call that helsp cope with the new shm greedy
software x11 engine stuff
6. use the new powersave subsystem where appropriate
7. fix non-zeroed/initted memory access in e_fm_main
8. fix mem leak for e menus
9. remove ipc handlers for changed/removed config values
10. use animaotr not timer for menu scrolls - then menu scrolls obey the fps
config
11. fix up timer/poll happienss of cursor idle stuff
12. remove avoid damage from popups for now - causing problems
13. change battery and temp readouts to b e shorter so they fit
14. pager can emit signals on focus change for mini-windows now
15. temperature module now uses a slave process and uses stdin/out to talk to
it and get output - this makes e smoother as in my expereicne i found getting
the temp on my laptop actually took like 200ms so e "hang" for 200ms while
reading the acpi files - so now the subprocess does it and just writesa back
to e when it gets it.
ecore:
1. add ecore_pollers. see the documentation on them in doxygen comments :)
2. fix timers to only go off when they have to - bug there that made e's
select time out a LOT more than it needed to. defensive coding hid the
problem. now fixed. e should be much more power friendly now.
3. formatting/niceness in ecore_exe stuff
4. some comments on comments with SIGIO ideas vs. select
5. add call to be able to add an idle enterer at the start of the list of
them, not just the end (as has been the default)
6. fix ecore_evas to support auto evas idler calls after 0.5 secs of idle in
all canvases - and to do it right
7. if argb destination - set the shape EVENT shape (to mask out events in
transparent regions much like shape does withotu translucency)
8. in ecore_x add support for the event shape
evas:
1. fix cache to work properly and not just always fill up (as it seemed to
like to think cahce useage dropped below 0 when it didnt and thus just
over-fill)
2. software x11 engine now ONLY uses shm segments - no ximages over the
socket. this ximage hack was there to avoid the 2 round trips involved in
setting up an shm image - now i mitigated that wih an shm image cache pool.
it keeps shm images around and repurposes them for new update regions if
appropriate. this means many fewer shm creates (about 1/100th the number) and
since we recycle the memory less 0 memory page filling by the kernel - in the
end, i recorded about a 10-20% speedup over the old software x11 engine.
simple tests i have seen up to 120% speedups. idle flush now does something -
it frees all the cached shm segments. it has a hard-coded limit of 4mb worth
of shm segments (or 32 segments - whichever comes first) to keep around. once
can never complain much about speedups methinks :). also evas will defer sync
until the NEXT frame is written - this means evas can calculate the next
frame of data while x dma's/copies the images to the screen at the same time
(if you hve a dual core or multi-cpu machnike or your xserver is able to use
DMA to copy image data to the screen/video ram then this should see a decent
speedup).
