build fix

In this commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?id=a228546d3cdf3364b82d76b374fb08aae202ab87

some of the headers were changed, causing gnome-python-desktop compile errors due to not finding constants such as META_FOCUS_MODE_CLICK

Update metacity.defs according to these changes to fix the build. I doubt any Python code used these constants.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2014-08-02 13:02:22 UTC 
The last gnome-python-desktop code changes took place in January 2011:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/gnome-python-desktop/log/

This project is not under active development anymore.

This project got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. If you are interested in maintainership, inform https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

gnome-python-desktop wrapped application API in GNOME 2. For Python in GNOME 3, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject and its gobject-introspection approach.
