meta_display_get_focus_window ()

                                     guint32 time2);

Xserver time can wraparound, thus comparing two timestamps needs to take this into account. If no wraparound has occurred, this is equivalent to time1 < time2 Otherwise, we need to account for the fact that wraparound can occur and the fact that a timestamp of 0 must be special-cased since it means "older than anything else".

Note that this is NOT an equivalent for time1 <= time2; if that's what you need then you'll need to swap the order of the arguments and negate the result.

                             GDestroyNotify free_data);

Add a keybinding at runtime. The key name in schema needs to be of type G_VARIANT_TYPE_STRING_ARRAY, with each string describing a keybinding in the form of "<Control>a" or "<Shift><Alt>F1". The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as "<Ctl>" and "<Ctrl>". If the key is set to the empty list or a list with a single element of either "" or "disabled", the keybinding is disabled. If META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES is specified in flags , the binding may be reversed by holding down the "shift" key; therefore, "<Shift>" cannot be one of the keys used. handler is expected to check for the "shift" modifier in this case and reverse its action.

Use meta_display_remove_keybinding() to remove the binding.

meta_display_remove_keybinding ()

gboolean
meta_display_remove_keybinding (MetaDisplay *display,
                                const char *name);

Remove keybinding name ; the function will fail if name is not a known keybinding or has not been added with meta_display_add_keybinding().

meta_display_get_keybinding_action ()

                                    unsigned long  mask);

Get the keybinding action bound to keycode . Builtin keybindings have a fixed associated MetaKeyBindingAction, for bindings added dynamically the function will return the keybinding action meta_display_add_keybinding() returns on registration.

meta_display_sort_windows_by_stacking (MetaDisplay *display,
                                       GSList *windows);

Sorts a set of windows according to their current stacking order. If windows from multiple screens are present in the set of input windows, then all the windows on screen 0 are sorted below all the windows on screen 1, and so forth. Since the stacking order of override-redirect windows isn't controlled by Metacity, if override-redirect windows are in the input, the result may not correspond to the actual stacking order in the X server.

An example of using this would be to sort the list of transient dialogs for a window into their current stacking order.

meta_display_get_leader_window ()

Window
meta_display_get_leader_window (MetaDisplay *display);

Returns the window manager's leader window (as defined by the _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK mechanism of EWMH). For use by plugins that wish to attach additional custom properties to this window.

meta_display_add_ignored_crossing_serial ()

                                unsigned long  serial);

Save the specified serial and ignore crossing events with that serial for the purpose of focus-follows-mouse. This can be used for certain changes to the window hierarchy that we don't want to change the focus window, even if they cause the pointer to end up in a new window.

meta_display_unmanage_screen ()

void
meta_display_unmanage_screen (MetaDisplay *display,

meta_display_clear_mouse_mode ()

void
meta_display_clear_mouse_mode (MetaDisplay *display);

Sets the mouse-mode flag to FALSE, which means that motion events are no longer ignored in mouse or sloppy focus. This is an internal function. It should be used only for reimplementing keybindings, and only in a manner compatible with core code.
