This patch was taken from #629#note_178766, the comment made
at the time was:
The root issue is a mismatch between the initialization of render_rect
in GstGLWindowX11Private and what's expected in the draw_cb function.
Because render_rect is not explicitly initialized to a width and height
of -1 (unlike gstglwindow_wayland_egl.c which does initialize to -1),
the less-than check for explicitly-set render_rect at gstglwindow_x11.c:453-454
always fails, even when the parent_win has been set and the render rectangle
has never been set.
Maybe this came from copying the similar check in the wayland code? Regardless,
I think the correct inequality should be '<= 0' (on both lines).
Alternatively initialization could be changed, but other sinks, e.g.
xvimagesink don't appear to use -1 to mean "unset" render_rect this way.
The issue can be reproduced by running the example in
tests/examples/gl/qt/videooverlay/ on X11, and resizing the output
window

Otherwise surface_width/surface_height stored in GstGLWindowPrivate
isn't changed, sometimes an unnecessary reconfigure event is sent on
sinkpad, then result in upstream reconfiguring.
Example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! glimagesink
Make a bunch of symbols private that are currently leaked
accidentally because they have a gst_* prefix and are used
internally. We mark those we can't make static with
G_GNUC_INTERNAL so that they get hidden with the autotools
build as well (although we could just pass -fvisibility=hidden
there too).
- xcb is supposedly thread-safe!
videotestsrc ! glimagesink now doesn't spuriously result in a
'call XInitThreads()' error however if anybody else is using X11,
then XInitThreads() still needs to be called and multiple glimagesink's
still need XInitThreads().
Everything still takes libX11 handles as they are compatible with the xcb
variants. Unfortunately we cannot move fully over to xcb due to GLX being
entirely based on Xlib. It's also impossible to transform a xcb_connection
to a Display which means we require X11 handles.
When connect to qmlglsrc, x11 event loop will be replace by qt event loop
which will cause the window cannot receive event from xserver, such as resize

Exposing the navigation thread's main context, GSourceFuncs and structs called
key_event and mouse_event is exposing a bit too much of the internals. Let's
just go with two functions to asynchronously send navigation events on the
window with the same API as the synchronous ones.
- glimagesink needs to be able to resize the viewport on aspect ratio
changes resulting from either caps changes or 3d output mode changes.
- Performing a glViewport outside the GstGLWindow::resize callback
will not have the winsys' stack of viewports required to correctly
place the output frame.
Provide a function to request a resize on the next draw event from the
winsys.
Also track size changes inside the base GstGLWindow class rather
than in each subclass.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755111
5697b6b89b causes us to possibly listen
on a toolkit provided Display connection. We thus could eat their
precious winsys events. Only listen if we need to
(!foreign_display or videooverlay).
Depending on the platform, it was only ever implemented to 1) set a
default surface size, 2) resize based on the video frame or 3) nothing.
Instead, provide a set_preferred_size () that elements/applications
can use to request a certain size which may be ignored for
videooverlay/other cases.
This thread dispatches navigation events. It is needed to avoid deadlocks
between window backend threads that emit navigation events (e.g. X11/GMainLoop
thread) and consumers of navigation events such as glimagesink, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733661
GstGlWindow_x11 thread is changed to invoke the navigation thread for navigation
dispatching, instead of emiting the event itself. Othe backends beside X11 do
not dispatch navigation events yet, but should use this thread when dispatching
these events in the future.
The navigation thread is currently part of GstGLWindow and not implemented in
separate subclasses / backends. This will be needed in the future.
gst_gl_window_x11_get_surface_dimensions is also changed to use a cached value
of the window's width, height. These values are now retrieved in the X11
thread, function gst_gl_window_x11_handle_event. This change is needed because
otherwise the XGetWindowAttributes gets called from the navigation thread,
leading to xlib aborting due to multithreaded access (if XInitThreads is not
called before, as is the case for gst-launch)
If window is resized, GstStructure pointer values have to be rescaled to
original geometry. A get_surface_dimensions GLWindow class method is added for
this purpose and used in the navigation send_event function.

This should fix QoS problems, where basesink believed it was rendering with
20FPS but actually we were just queueing up X11 Expose events and only once
in a while something was rendered.
GstGLDisplayX11 holds the display connection and name. Each thread requires
it's own X11 Display connection (initialised from name) due to the fact that
we do not want to call XInitThreads(). Doing so would result in segfaults
when integrating with GUI toolkits Gtk, Qt, etc.
The Display connection is for OpenGL platforms where a constant display is
required in order to share contexts (egl). In the case of a wrapped context
(added later), we do not have GstGLWindow to retreive the display from so a
'master' connection is used instead.
