Metacity 2.8.4

[Elijah Newren <newren math utah edu>]

* What is it ?
==============

Metacity is a simple window manager that integrates nicely with
GNOME 2.  2.8.4 is an unstable release of metacity.

* What's changed ?
==================

This release features a number of bug fixes, and also the disabling of
the focus-stealing-prevention code (hard code freeze for Gnome is
supposed to be tomorrow, so it's too late to fix the remaining
issues; especially since it requires several patches to modules other
than Metacity).

Thanks to Havoc Pennington, Soeren Sandmann, Elijah Newren, and Rich
Wareham for fixes in this release.

Fixes
  * track the last_xor_rect, for wireframe painting (Havoc)
  * Move wireframe code before grab is released to prevent endless
    loops with fullscreen windows. (Soeren)
  * Make dialogs that Metacity shows follow focus-stealing-prevention
    conventions. (Elijah; part of #149028, though the code is
    effectively a slow no-op at this time with focus-stealing-prevention
    having now been disabled)
  * add render extension check to the display, don't build the
    compositing manager by default, use an ARGB visual when available
    for the window frame (Rich Wareham; various tweaks added later by
    Havoc)
  * move the have_xrender variable initialization up in the file since
    it can be set as part of composite check (Havoc)
  * make argb stuff compile, add some code from xcompmgr (Havoc)
  * fix an assertion failure that would occur after increasing the
    number of workspaces; fix stacking order when a window is denied
    focus (Elijah; #150615)
  * disable some compositor code that wasn't working, don't grab the
    server during repaint, various set_background fixes and
    refactoring (Havoc)

* Where can I get it ?

P.S.  Apparently people in the past have thought I was the maintainer
when I released software.  Since releases take a while, volunteering to
make them for the maintainer can reduce their load.  I'm merely trying
to help out by doing that.  I am not the maintainer.
