Description
Functions which parse the command-line arguments, create the display, kick everything off and then close down Mutter when it's time to go.
Mutter - a boring window manager for the adult in you
Many window managers are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Mutter is like Frosted Flakes: it's still plain old corn, but dusted with some sugar.
The best way to get a handle on how the whole system fits together
is discussed in doc/code-overview.txt; if you're looking for functions
to investigate, read main()
, meta_display_open()
, and event_callback()
.
Functions
meta_get_option_context ()
GOptionContext *
meta_get_option_context (void
);
Returns a GOptionContext initialized with mutter-related options.
Parse the command-line args with this before calling meta_init()
.
meta_init ()
void
meta_init (void
);
Initialize mutter. Call this after meta_get_option_context()
and
meta_plugin_manager_set_plugin_type()
, and before meta_run()
.
meta_run ()
int
meta_run (void
);
Runs mutter. Call this after completing initialization that doesn't require an event loop.
meta_set_wm_name ()
void
meta_set_wm_name (const char *wm_name
);
Set the value to use for the _NET_WM_NAME property. To take effect,
it is necessary to call this function before meta_init()
.
meta_set_gnome_wm_keybindings ()
void
meta_set_gnome_wm_keybindings (const char *wm_keybindings
);
Set the value to use for the _GNOME_WM_KEYBINDINGS property. To take
effect, it is necessary to call this function before meta_init()
.
meta_quit ()
void
meta_quit (MetaExitCode code
);
Stops Mutter. This tells the event loop to stop processing; it is rather dangerous to use this because this will leave the user with no window manager. We generally do this only if, for example, the session manager asks us to; we assume the session manager knows what it's talking about.
