About Mutter

============

 

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages

your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine

using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited

from the Metacity window manager.

 

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be

used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell or

Moblin. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which

are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window

management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

 

Changes since 2.27.2

====================

 

* Key handling improvements:

 

- enforce that every key is handled no more than once.

- mutter_plugin_begin_modal() and mutter_plugin_begin_modal() allow

putting a plugin into a "modal" state where it has exclusive access

to key and pointer events.

- Add "tab_popup_select", "tab_pop_cancel" pseudo-keypress-handlers

that plugins can use to get notification when Alt-Tab ends

 

[Owen]

 

* Accessors added or made public:

 

meta_window_is_override_redirect(), meta_window_is_mapped(),

meta_display_xwindow_is_a_no_focus_window(),

meta_display_get_grab_op(), meta_window_is_skip_taskbar(),

meta_window_is_modal(), all of errors.h
