This patch simplifies the propagation of pointer shapes from
window-manager clients to the pointer. The "shape" report is routed to
the wm server, which, in turn, reports it to the pointer. This way, the
pointer can easily correlate the label of the application's "shape"
report with the label of the application's Nitpicker session. The
formerly used manual rewriting of the "shape" label is not needed
anymore.
Since the wm server provides a "Report" service now, its <provides>
declaration must cover "Report" in addition to "Nitpicker" to avoid
runtime error messages. Vice versa, the wm is now expected to request
"shape" reports, which should be routed to the pointer (using the
'label_last' routing attribute).

This commit replaces the former floating_window_layouter with a new
window_layouter component that supports the subdivision of screen space
into columns and rows, the concept of layers, and the principle ability
to store window layout information across reboots. The latter is
accomplished by reflecting the component's internal state as a 'rules'
report to the outside.
Fixes#3031
This commit replaces the old xray_trigger component by a new component
called global_keys_handler. For details, please refer to the issue text
and the accompanied README file.
Fixes#2554
The launcher.run scenario was last updated mid-may of the recently
developed cap-quota accounting (before all cap types were covered).
Hence, the quotas used in the scenario are too low. This patch adjusts
the values such that the scenario can be started on NOVA on Qemu. It
also fixes a warning about a deprecated way of configuring the
report_rom component.
Thanks to Jörg-Christian Böhme for reporting!
This patch adjusts the interactive scenarios of the gems repository to
use the depot. This has three immediate benefits. First, once the depot
is populated with binary archives, the start time of the scenarios
becomes very quick because most dependency checks and build steps are
side-stepped. Second, the run scripts become more versatile. In
particular, run scripts that were formerly supported on base-linux only
(nit_fader, decorator, menu_view) have become usable on all base
platforms that have a 'drivers_interactive' package defined. Finally,
the run scripts have become much shorter.
Issue #2339
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely
(ref #2250)

This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
