Public bug reported:
x11proto-input, libxfixes, libxi, unity and unity-2d in precise needs
updates to work with the new pointer barrier api from x1.14.
[Impact]
* Pointer barrier api has changed between 1.13 and 1.14.
(xorg-server-lts-saucy)
* Modifications in unity and unity-2d are required to support both api's.
[Test Case]
* Update all packages.
* Test pointer barriers on an old xorg-server, they should continue to work.
* Test pointer barriers on the new xorg-server, they should work.
[Regression Potential]
* Low, it enables a separate code path for pointer barriers. The code in
unity is a bit different due to copying the rework from upstream unity and
keeping the old paths for legacy pointer barriers. Upstream dropped the old
paths.
[Other Info]
* It's a bit of a hack. The old pointer barrier symbols live in libxfixes,
the new ones in libxi. Because of the overlap some modifications had to be made
to allow both pointer barriers to be included. This works as well as it can.
* Depending on the queried libxi2/libxfixes versions, old pointer barriers or
new ones are used.
