#### Instance methods

###### meta_display_add_ignored_crossing_serial

Save the specified serial and ignore crossing events with that serial for the purpose of focus-follows-mouse. This can be used for certain changes to the window hierarchy that we don’t want to change the focus window, even if they cause the pointer to end up in a new window.

###### meta_display_add_keybinding

Add a keybinding at runtime. The key `name` in `schema` needs to be of type `G_VARIANT_TYPE_STRING_ARRAY`, with each string describing a keybinding in the form of “<Control>a” or “<Shift><Alt>F1”. The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as “<Ctl>” and “<Ctrl>”. If the key is set to the empty list or a list with a single element of either “” or “disabled”, the keybinding is disabled.

###### meta_display_begin_grab_op

No description available.

###### meta_display_clear_mouse_mode

Sets the mouse-mode flag to `FALSE`, which means that motion events are no longer ignored in mouse or sloppy focus. This is an internal function. It should be used only for reimplementing keybindings, and only in a manner compatible with core code.

###### meta_display_get_compositor_modifiers

###### meta_display_get_context

###### meta_display_get_current_monitor

Gets the index of the monitor that currently has the mouse pointer.

###### meta_display_get_current_time

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_current_time_roundtrip

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_focus_window

Get our best guess as to the “currently” focused window (that is, the window that we expect will be focused at the point when the X server processes our next request).

###### meta_display_get_grab_op

Gets the current grab operation, if any.

###### meta_display_get_keybinding_action

Get the keybinding action bound to `keycode`. Builtin keybindings have a fixed associated `MetaKeyBindingAction`, for bindings added dynamically the function will return the keybinding action `meta_display_add_keybinding()` returns on registration.

###### meta_display_get_last_user_time

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_monitor_geometry

Stores the location and size of the indicated `monitor` in `geometry`.

###### meta_display_get_monitor_in_fullscreen

Determines whether there is a fullscreen window obscuring the specified monitor. If there is a fullscreen window, the desktop environment will typically hide any controls that might obscure the fullscreen window.

###### meta_display_get_monitor_index_for_rect

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_monitor_neighbor_index

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_monitor_scale

###### meta_display_get_size

Retrieve the size of the display.

###### meta_display_get_sound_player

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_startup_notification

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_tab_current

Determine the active window that should be displayed for Alt-TAB.

###### meta_display_get_tab_list

Determine the list of windows that should be displayed for Alt-TAB functionality. The windows are returned in most recently used order. If `workspace` is not `NULL`, the list only contains windows that are on `workspace` or have the demands-attention hint set; otherwise it contains all windows.

###### meta_display_get_tab_next

Determine the next window that should be displayed for Alt-TAB functionality.

###### meta_display_get_workspace_manager

No description available.

###### meta_display_get_x11_display

###### meta_display_grab_accelerator

No description available.

###### meta_display_is_pointer_emulating_sequence

Tells whether the event sequence is the used for pointer emulation and single-touch interaction.

###### meta_display_list_all_windows

List all windows, including override-redirect ones. The windows are in no particular order.

###### meta_display_remove_keybinding

Remove keybinding `name`; the function will fail if `name` is not a known keybinding or has not been added with meta_display_add_keybinding().

###### meta_display_request_pad_osd

No description available.

###### meta_display_set_cursor

No description available.

###### meta_display_set_input_focus

No description available.

###### meta_display_sort_windows_by_stacking

Sorts a set of windows according to their current stacking order. If windows from multiple screens are present in the set of input windows, then all the windows on screen 0 are sorted below all the windows on screen 1, and so forth. Since the stacking order of override-redirect windows isn’t controlled by Metacity, if override-redirect windows are in the input, the result may not correspond to the actual stacking order in the X server.

###### meta_display_supports_extended_barriers

###### meta_display_unfreeze_keyboard

###### meta_display_ungrab_accelerator

No description available.

###### meta_display_ungrab_keyboard

No description available.

###### meta_display_unset_input_focus

No description available.

###### meta_display_xserver_time_is_before

Xserver time can wraparound, thus comparing two timestamps needs to take this into account. If no wraparound has occurred, this is equivalent to time1 < time2 Otherwise, we need to account for the fact that wraparound can occur and the fact that a timestamp of 0 must be special-cased since it means “older than anything else”.
