in the case that a mouse move event occurs, the compositor should validate
the event to ensure that the mouse cursor is actually over the window that
the event claims to be from

in order to continue rendering an iconic client without breaking icccm,
it's necessary to map the client's window again and unset iconic state
whenever rendering is needed, then re-set states when rendering
stops
ref T2788
E_Client->comp_data is null after a client has been deleted, so
attempting to handle events which require the dereferencing of this
pointer after a client has been deleted will result in a crash
these events should be rejected after delete regardless, since at this
time the compositor has stopped handling events for the client
ref f42c6aa187
i got a crash here and the bt was broken and i couldnt check if
_e_comp_x_client_data_get() returned null, but it's the only thing
that would make sense, so protect against this to avoid a crash. as
this was a one-off, i can't find out more,
@fix
in the case where a shaped window with many rects exists, there is a high
probability of the damage rect count being huge, leading to massive blocking for
each frame as the compositor attempts to fetch all of these rects from the xserver.
instead, the compositor can shortcut this by forcing a full-window damage any time
the rect count is sufficiently high, trading a blocking socket operation for some
amount of (potential) overdraw.
testing in affected scenarios has shown huge improvements: where previously the entire
compositor would lock up, things work as expected now
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1214746 for a sample case
it seems that damages for popup windows in some applications,
namely blink-based browsers, are reported incorrectly, resulting
in sometimes having a blank window
according to ICCCM 4.1.4:
Only the client can effect a transition into or out of the Withdrawn state
withdrawn windows cannot be shown under any circumstances. the best that can
be done is to try mapping the window and hope it decides to appear.
to prevent any inadvertent showing of the window before it leaves the
withdrawn state, we play games with the E_Client->ignored flag in order
to skip client evals until we get notified that maybe we want to stop
skipping those evals
ref T2745
gtk apps set an atom which provides information about the area
where non-window content (eg. shadows) may be drawn; this area
must not be used in placement calculations.
the easiest method for implementing this functionality was to add
a case to the compositor geometry interceptors which effectively
flip the client struct geometry values such that the E_Client->client
is outside of the more commonly used E_Client->x/y/w/h
fix T2744
failure to allow pixmaps/clients to be retrived by parent window will
result in api users being greatly inconvenienced after a reparenting has
occurred
it seems that since the first version of the enlightenment compositor
in e17, damage events in x11 have never been used correctly. using
the event struct members will only give the bounding box/area instead
of the damaged regions; the real regions must be explicitly fetched
from the server
this removes the need for a lot of hacks which were added over the years
to make override windows render correctly, and also probably reduces
rendering overhead slightly
in the case that the canvas window has just had focus set on it, apply this focus
and ensure that no client retains focus
this resolves a race condition where focusing the compositor canvas <-> client
extremely quickly would result in a client trying to steal focus when it was
not actually focused
a notable (but trivial) side effect is that now when flipping desks at high speed while using
mouse-based focus policies, the user is almost guaranteed to end on a desk which
has open windows on it
it seems that the reported damage events upon resizing an override window
are not accurate, and so we must force a full damage here while avoiding a
render queue in order to ensure that the full contents of the override will
be rendered in the next frame
fix T2045
these are triggered "in passing" when mouse in events occur and do
not necessarily indicate that the mouse has entered this specific window
failing to reject such events can cause mouse-based focus policies to
attempt to set focus onto windows which are not visible, resulting in
an infinite loop where no window is actually focused
in the event that these windows are different, event_window is the parent of window
which may or may not be explicitly tracked by an E_Client, so the wheel events here
should be sent to the parent as is done in mouse button events
