so there was a fair bit of stick-tape and chewing gum in putting the
wl screensaving in e_Screensaver.c ... it thus was very different to
the x stuff. it SHOULd have had e_comp_wl handle idle timeout like the
xserver did and then glue in the same way the x code did to be
conistsent. instead of trying to fix the chewing gum ball there in
e_Screensver.c to find the logic holes ... i made it work like the
code as indicated above. this now makes it work reliably. dim
reliably. lock reliably. it even doesnt exit on ctrl+alt+backspace
once desklock is up now to allow locks to really lock... (dont use
locks during dev then if you need ctl+alt+backspace).
at least now all this dpms/screensavwr/brightness/backlight/lock goop
is consistent between wl and x11 and wl seems reliabkle now (to me).
knock this off as an annoyance fixed.
@fix
if theme doesn't support, fade-in will not happen (it'll just appear),
but if it does... e will fade to black for a restart, then fade back
in nice and cleanly.
these bindings activate before any other handler can process the
corresponding event and will block all propagation of the event upon
activation
as an example, the alt+wheel default binding for flipping desks currently
passes through a number of event handlers prior to activating the binding,
meaning that it's possible for the wheel action to have unwanted effects
when these handlers cause actions before the binding stops the propagation.
using a MANAGER context instead ensures that this is not possible
there is only one E_Comp which can now be accessed by the e_comp global.
if you're editing a file with some uses of these deprecated functions, replace their usages with appropriate references to this variable
pass -Wno-deprecated-declarations to ignore these warnings during build
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
