Richard Grenville 00424b1082 Bug fix #84: Root window not repainted sometimes on wallpaper change
- Fix a bug that root window is not repainted on wallpaper change unless
  an Expose X event is received. Seemingly, if there's no mapped window
  on a screen, X will not send an Expose event when the wallpaper
  changes. Thanks to baskerville for reporting.

- Fix a X Pixmap leak when there's no existing wallpaper pixmap found.

- Fix a bug in mstrncpy() that null character is not added to the end of
  the copied string.

- Make VSYNC_STRS public, for use in src/dbus.c. Adjust the type of
  WINTYPES array. Add NUM_VSYNC.

- Add more targets for various D-Bus methods. Add "bad_target" D-Bus
  error. Improve error handling. Add more helper functions to append
  arguments to a D-Bus message. Add Introspect method to D-Bus
  introspection reply.

- Add public declarations of things in the new condition format code to
  common.h. Move definitions of some inline functions from compton.h to
  common.h. Make some functions public. Move wid_get_prop_adv() to
  compton.c. The primary code files of the new format src/c2.{c,h} will
  be published when ready.

- Add support for dumping version string in Makefile (make version), to
  make snapshot generation easier.

- Add repeated inclusion protection to common.h.

- Update documentation.

- Use gsed instead of sed in dbus-examples/cdbus-driver.sh if possible,
  as some BSD systems does not come with GNU sed by default. Thanks to
  DaChiChang for reporting.

- Code clean-up. Small type changes in register_cm() to silence
  warnings. Quit on failure in parse_vsync(). Apply stricter checks in
  force_repaint().

Richard Grenville 58c0ecec40 Feature #80: D-Bus support
- Add D-Bus support. Currently 7 methods are available: "reset" (same as
  SIGUSR1), "list_win" (list the windows compton manages), "win_get"
  (get a property of the window), "win_set" (set a property of the
  window), "find_win" (find window based on client window / focus),
  "opts_get" (get the value of a compton option), and "opts_set" (set
  the value of a compton option), together with 4 signals: "win_added",
  "win_destroyed", "win_mapped", "win_unmapped".

- D-Bus support depends on libdbus.

- As there are many items and my time is tight, no much tests are done.
  Bugs to be expected.

- Create a new header file `common.h` that contains shared content.

- Fix some bugs in timeout handling.

- Update file headers in all source files.

- Re-enable --unredir-if-possible on multi-screen set-ups, as the user
  could turn if off manually anyway.

- Check if the window is mapped in `repair_win()`.

- Add ps->track_atom_lst and its handlers, to prepare for the new
  condition format.

- Known issue 1: "win_get", "win_set", "opts_get", "opts_set" support a
  very limited number of targets only. New ones will be added gradually.

- Known issue 2: Accidental drop of D-Bus connection is not handled.

- Known issue 3: Introspection does not reveal all available methods,
  because some methods have unpredictable prototypes. Still hesitating
  about what to do...

- Known issue 4: Error handling is not finished yet. Compton does not
  always reply with the correct error message (but it does print out the
  correct error message, usually).
