this option provides the functionality which was intended by the old and broken "raise on focus" option. it raises windows ONLY when reverting focus in cases not directly triggered by the user or any application
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
if we're running in a non-X environment, we can't very well expect that using X calls to hide/show windows for desklock is going to work as expected. now a compositor backend can add a pre or post desklock hook to hide/show its clients as necessary
if a client's X attributes fail to be fetched on the first attempt, it's possible that we might succeed on a second attempt, which would prevent us from losing a client
in some cases, it may be desirable to block shape cutting for an amount of time to reduce cpu calculations. this should be set when performing any non-interactive compositor effects
this flag allows a client's layer to be changed instantly with no protocol-level checks or work, allowing compositor effects to do their work more easily
the existing moveresize popup infrastructure is very limiting in that it requires you to create a popup. if you don't want to create a popup, now you don't have to.
p16 is a pager replacement module which uses deskmirror to show you live views of each desktop. it has a separate theme and reuses a lot of pager code.
not sure if original pager should be kept, but it's still around for now.
pager and pager16 both provide the same gadget and cannot be loaded simultaneously
* finish updating for E19 api
* fix visibility changing on sources
** use that shelf data item added in previous commit to detect shelf visibility
* fix sizing (but not scaling :() and positioning of sources
* also fix stacking
pointers in E now come in two flavors, one for each protocol that we currently support. each is created from the owner compositor backend:
X pointers still work as usual
Wayland pointers are actually surfaces that we dump image data into periodically to render them as evas images
some small amounts of hack is necessary to make this work, namely blocking X pointers when a Wayland one is in use if we're running a multi-protocol compositor
variable takes the name of the output module s/wl_// ; example: E_WL_FORCE=x11
this module allows easy loading of a wayland output module to override any detection which may occur by force-loading the module during startup
in a later commit, an actual output detection mechanism needs to be added to run through all the possible output modes
this is the first of the wayland output modules, and it is extremely simple as a result of the compositor rewrite. for any other wayland output modules, it should be enough to simply create an ecore_evas canvas and do startup in this way.
* 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
given that compositing is always enabled and that it's crucial to be able to change these settings, potentially having them unavailable is not a great way to live
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

desklock's layer is below the start splash layer, so this can just be shown any time regardless of whether it's enabled. security++
previously the fact that e was restarting could break out of desklocked startup due to how the env variables were set. now there is a new variable which only gets set when the screen is locked which will force lock on startup even during restarts

This reverts commit db72a84e58.
this whole idea was broken. I blame the british food/water/oxygen/etc. it broke click renaming and all kinds of other things. changing the edc (in latest elm/1.8) is a much better and more effective solution
so i found something interesting. the grab option causes some erratic
framerate in clients IF thoise clients have to sync to the xserver and
themselves try and render more smoothly. it masically means animators
get delayed due to unusually long render times because of this. this
fixes that. this also adds a comp config version number allowing the
code to upgrade a users config to turn this off and thus allows for
future upgrades too.
previously, this conditional would be called on most new submenus, even if the submenu's parent item was the previous item and its menu hadn't been set yet. hours of small mouse movements revealed that this should never be called when the parent item has not yet been set
1. clear out environment as best is possible before executing
anything. especially PATH and IFS are set to minimal base defaults.
also use clearenv() if available and unsetenv()
2. remove gdb method as it's just too dangerous. run it as normal as
the user and if the kernel / distro dny that - then sorry. too bad.
efreet still has lots of problems somewhere (unknown where) with
threaded use. it's just not safe even now. i'm seeing insanely
easy-to-reproduce issues every time i bring up a menu. since this is
unlikely to be solved in efreet before release, don't depend on efreet
being threadsafe and go back to the non-threaded code.
Revert "e: No need to check MINOR twice"

Before this commit, this would not always be the case.
I added a "scroll to cursor" for every change in entry size.
This is a further fix to T169. It's not exactly what described there,
but it's a similar issue I found while fixing it.
Somehow of a stage 2 for commit 80844cbcd7.
This also adds changelog and news entries, as this issue is now fully fixed.
Before this commit, setting the text of an entry after the entry
has already been placed and sized, would cause the inside entry
(the one inside of the scroller) size to be the size of the viewport
instead of the real size. This would make some parts of the entry
unreachable.
This fixes T169.
thise commit added focus_policy member to E_Border as something to be used for setting a per-window focus policy. setting it on each window is a huge pain if the global policy ever changes, so it's better to use this member only as an override for the global policy which can be checked to see if it's been set
this fixes stacking after restarts since we manage and raise windows from the bottom up, meaning that we must also build our focus stack from back to front
without this, it was possible to break the compositor by enabling options which prevent unfullscreening a window on vdesk flip, which causes nocomp mode to remain permanently enabled, even after the window has closed
this fixes T444 - the display of text is properly top-left aligned
with scrollbars now actually correct too for the text provided (note
that the preview doesnt put ALL text in there. just the first N bytes
which by default is 2048 but can be changed).

Test Plan:
Start E18 (in Xephyr maybe) with E_CSERVE set.
Randomly kill evas_cserve2 and enlightenment, and log out from E.
I need review for this patch as I'm not sure about all the ptrace stuff
lying around.

« While at it, I also fixed the piping of stdout and stderr to be nicer. »
After a long and hard battle with the gods of bugs I finally fixed
this stupid hang. I had to dig into the gdb source code, and gdb the
hell out of gdb, but it's now solved.
First of all, we should call gdb with -batch which exits automatically.
This however is not enough to fix it. The bug was that gdb was haning
while trying to set attributes on stdin because it was waiting for input.
This is obviously problematic when running in non-interactive mode, so
I had to pipe /dev/zero to stdin to fix it.
While at it, I also fixed the piping of stdout and stderr to be nicer.
This is a fix to a bug that was happening on my laptop with libreoffice.
When this last one was closed, a segfault was occurring. This was due to
the use of a freed data structure. A pointer to this structure
(instance) was still stored as data of the Ecore_Exe structure.
Now, when the instance is freed, the data of the Ecore_Exe is set to
NULL.
provide a config upgrade path to version 13 which nulls/frees out
theme config (save memory - but more housekeeping), and that also
copeis ofer all files in ~/.e/e/themes to ~/.elementary/themes so you
don't lose themes you personally have and deletes the old e theme dir
if this succeeds.
also remove all #includes of Elementary.h and Emotion.h from single c
files as they are requirements now and in e.h
also remove theme path vars and code as theme path is no longer used.
now e only uses elementary's theme. this is to stop the bitrot and
forking of e's theme vs the unified elm theme that has everything for
e in it already. this obviously makes elm a requirement of e18 on, and
this also notes that emotion is always in efl these days, so its no
longer an option, and ecore-imf is no longer used as edje does the
entires now itself. in future it'll all be elm.
this is a major unification point for themes for elm and e. this will
need some testing, but everything seems to work day-to-day, but theme
selector is untested.
this also removes the theme selector for splash as that is now simply
unified with the same theme as everything else.
if compile time headers (module version) does not match e's version
then modules likely may fail; to work right - so make sure they match
exactly (for release purposes)
pretty sure this doesn't affect anything in e18, but it does break things in a really hard to reproduce setting involving clicking/disabling/focusing widgets simultaneously
enlightenment_fm needs some files that are not in its subdirectory, but
rather are shared with enlightenment.
Possible solutions:
1) Use a non-recursive build for enlightenment_fm.
2) Factor out a convenience library containing necessary files
3) Copy over or link the files to build tree directory during build
For simplicity (3) is implemented here. Some files were not necessary
(e_prefix.c and e_sha1.c) and the others are now linked during build to
it's original location.
Sadly we can't globally enable subdir-objects due to gettext choking on
it so enable at least where it's necessary. Remove the following
warning from build:

buckle up. for the first time in history, a config option is getting removed instead of added.
the reasons for this removal are many, but let's go way back to the beginning and see why it was added:
oh wait, we can't because the commit message (from 2006) is
>> patches that i said were in - commit. (see my reply emails)
>> also finish off a TODO item or 2
reading through the TODO items which were also crossed off in that commit, I'm assuming that this was the "option to NOT raise on focus in click to focus" item.
== REASON 1 ==
the problem here is that there's another, BETTER option called "click raises window" (always_click_to_raise) which does the same thing, except it doesn't totally fuck you when you get a random X focus event, which happens more often than you might think.
this means that, to avoid broken behavior which might cause your windows to spastically raise for a few frames in common cases (using winlist...) with click-to-focus, you have to know that this is the default-enabled option that's fucking you, and you have to remember to manually disable it every time. if you DON'T know that this is the option that's fucking you, and you just see windows randomly raising on their own, you'll probably either ignore it or file a bug, when this is supposed to be a "feature" that actually worked in reverse, since it was intended only for disabling.
== REASON 2 ==
there's also auto-raise, which can be set to 0.0s, which is effectively the same thing since it also triggers on focus but can be configured not to fuck your window stack
== REASON 3 ==
aaand finally, this option makes any sort of pointer focus model impossible to use, since your windows will constantly be raising all over as you move the mouse
tl;dr: I'm removing it, e-dealwithit.gif
