Sets the program class.

of the `WM_CLASS` property on toplevel windows; see the ICCCM.
a #GdkDisplay

Sends a startup notification message of type @message_type to
@display.
This is a convenience function for use by code that implements the
freedesktop startup notification specification. Applications should
not normally need to call it directly. See the
[Startup Notification Protocol specification](http://standards.freedesktop.org/startup-notification-spec/startup-notification-latest.txt)
for definitions of the message types and keys that can be used.
a #GdkDisplay
startup notification message type ("new", "change",
or "remove")
a list of key/value pairs (as strings), terminated by a
%NULL key. (A %NULL value for a key will cause that key to be
skipped in the output.)
Pops the error trap pushed by gdk_x11_display_error_trap_push().
Will XSync() if necessary and will always block until
the error is known to have occurred or not occurred,
so the error code can be returned.
If you don’t need to use the return value,
gdk_x11_display_error_trap_pop_ignored() would be more efficient.
See gdk_error_trap_pop() for the all-displays-at-once
equivalent.
X error code or 0 on success
the display
Pops the error trap pushed by gdk_x11_display_error_trap_push().
Does not block to see if an error occurred; merely records the
range of requests to ignore errors for, and ignores those errors
if they arrive asynchronously.
See gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored() for the all-displays-at-once
equivalent.
the display
Begins a range of X requests on @display for which X error events
will be ignored. Unignored errors (when no trap is pushed) will abort
the application. Use gdk_x11_display_error_trap_pop() or
gdk_x11_display_error_trap_pop_ignored()to lift a trap pushed
with this function.
See also gdk_error_trap_push() to push a trap on all displays.
a #GdkDisplay
Gets the startup notification ID for a display.
the startup notification ID for @display
a #GdkDisplay
Returns the timestamp of the last user interaction on
@display. The timestamp is taken from events caused
by user interaction such as key presses or pointer
movements. See gdk_x11_surface_set_user_time().

a #GdkDisplay
Returns the X cursor belonging to a #GdkCursor, potentially
creating the cursor.
Be aware that the returned cursor may not be unique to @cursor.
It may for example be shared with its fallback cursor. On old
X servers that don't support the XCursor extension, all cursors
may even fall back to a few default cursors.

To ungrab the display again, use gdk_x11_display_ungrab().
gdk_x11_display_grab()/gdk_x11_display_ungrab() calls can be nested.
a #GdkDisplay
Sets the cursor theme from which the images for cursor
should be taken.
If the windowing system supports it, existing cursors created
with gdk_cursor_new(), gdk_cursor_new_for_display() and
gdk_cursor_new_from_name() are updated to reflect the theme
change. Custom cursors constructed with
gdk_cursor_new_from_texture() will have to be handled
by the application (GTK+ applications can learn about
cursor theme changes by listening for change notification
for the corresponding #GtkSetting).
a #GdkDisplay
the name of the cursor theme to use, or %NULL to unset
a previously set value
the cursor size to use, or 0 to keep the previous size
Sets the startup notification ID for a display.
This is usually taken from the value of the DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID
environment variable, but in some cases (such as the application not
being launched using exec()) it can come from other sources.
If the ID contains the string "_TIME" then the portion following that
string is taken to be the X11 timestamp of the event that triggered
the application to be launched and the GDK current event time is set
accordingly.
The startup ID is also what is used to signal that the startup is
complete (for example, when opening a window or when calling
gdk_notify_startup_complete()).
a #GdkDisplay
the startup notification ID (must be valid utf8)
Forces a specific window scale for all windows on this display,
instead of using the default or user configured scale. This
is can be used to disable scaling support by setting @scale to
1, or to programmatically set the window scale.
Once the scale is set by this call it will not change in response
to later user configuration changes.

The ::xevent signal is a low level signal that is emitted
whenever an XEvent has been received.
When handlers to this signal return %TRUE, no other handlers will be
invoked. In particular, the default handler for this function is
GDK's own event handling mechanism, so by returning %TRUE for an event
that GDK expects to translate, you may break GDK and/or GTK+ in
interesting ways. You have been warned.
If you want this signal handler to queue a #GdkEvent, you can use
gdk_display_put_event().
If you are interested in X GenericEvents, bear in mind that
XGetEventData() has been already called on the event, and
XFreeEventData() will be called afterwards.
%TRUE to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event.

Determines whether a particular key code represents a key that
is a modifier. That is, it’s a key that normally just affects
the keyboard state and the behavior of other keys rather than
producing a direct effect itself. This is only needed for code

an is_modifier field.

This function is specific to the X11 backend of GDK, and indicates
whether the window manager supports a certain hint from the
[Extended Window Manager Hints](http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec) specification.
When using this function, keep in mind that the window manager
can change over time; so you shouldn’t use this function in
a way that impacts persistent application state. A common bug
is that your application can start up before the window manager
does when the user logs in, and before the window manager starts
gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint() will return %FALSE for every property.

This function can be used to disable frame synchronization for a surface.
Normally frame synchronziation will be enabled or disabled based on whether
the system has a compositor that supports frame synchronization, but if
the surface is not directly managed by the window manager, then frame
synchronziation may need to be disabled. This is the case for a surface
embedded via the XEMBED protocol.

GTK+ applications can request a dark theme variant. In order to
make other applications - namely window managers using GTK+ for
themeing - aware of this choice, GTK+ uses this function to
export the requested theme variant as _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property
on toplevel surfaces.
Note that this property is automatically updated by GTK+, so this
function should only be used by applications which do not use GTK+
to create toplevel surfaces.

Sets a hint on @surface that it needs user attention.

a native #GdkSurface

The application can use this call to update the _NET_WM_USER_TIME
property on a toplevel surface. This property stores an Xserver
time which represents the time of the last user input event
received for this surface. This property may be used by the window
manager to alter the focus, stacking, and/or placement behavior of
surfaces when they are mapped depending on whether the new surface
was created by a user action or is a "pop-up" surface activated by a
timer or some other event.
Note that this property is automatically updated by GDK, so this
function should only be used by applications which handle input
events bypassing GDK.

This function modifies or removes an arbitrary X11 window

Disables multidevice support in GDKs X11 backend. This call must happen prior
to gdk_display_open(), gtk_init() or gtk_init_check() in order to
take effect.
Most common GTK+ applications won’t ever need to call this. Only
applications that do mixed GDK/Xlib calls could want to disable
multidevice support if such Xlib code deals with input devices in
any way and doesn’t observe the presence of XInput 2.

Registers interest in receiving extension events with type codes
between @event_base and `event_base + n_events - 1`.
The registered events must have the window field in the same place
as core X events (this is not the case for e.g. XKB extension events).
GDK may register the events of some X extensions on its own.
This function should only be needed in unusual circumstances, e.g.
when filtering XInput extension events on the root window.
