This patch implements the following policy for applications requesting
exclusive input (relative motion): The pointer is grabbed as soon as the
user clicks inside the application window. It is forcibly ungrabbed on
any window-focus change or when tapping the KEY_SCREEN. An application
can always enable (transient) exclusive input during a key sequence,
e.g., when dragging the mouse while holding the mouse button. Transient
exclusive input is revoked when releasing the last button/key.
Fixes#5355
The recent changes of the GUI stack (proper accounting of cap and RAM
resources by the window manager and nitpicker, output buffered at the
server side) require quota adjustments at various GUI-related places.
Issue #5356
With this patch, the wm accounts RAM and caps consumed on behalf of its
clients to the respective client's session quota instead of paying out
of its own pocket. This should make the wm resilient against resource
exhaustion and lowers the quota requirements.
Issue #5340
2560x1440 resolutions require more RAM resources. Additionally, make
sure that the decorator 'init' receives enough CAPs to service the
decorator configuration.

This commit adds dynamic switching in between different defined
screens via keyboard shortcuts, or by editing the rules file.
In the window_layouter package it defines per default ten screens,
reachable by pressing the screen key along with numbers 0-9.
Fix#3646
The labels of clipboard ROM and clipboard report sessions of WM clients
must be consistent with the client's nitpicker label. Hence, we must
route those sessions through the window manager, analogously to the
approach taken for shape reports in #3165.
Issue #3437
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).
Fixes#3165
The situation where a 'Session_policy' is constructed for a label with
no matching policy is in almost all cases a configuration problem.
A diagnostic message eases pin-pointing such mistaks. By adding the
message to the 'Session_policy', servers don't need to manually handle
the exception to provide diagnostic information. This simplifies the
server code in many components.
This commit moves the window layouter and window decorator into
dedicated packages that can now be combined with the "wm" server at
runtime and restarted/reconfigured/swapped-out independently.
To use the window manager, one must start the 'wm', 'window_layouter',
and one of the 'motif_decorator' or 'themed_decorator' subsystems.
Fixes#3024
