Improve handling of warnings and criticals (6.65 KB, patch)

Description Giovanni Campagna 2013-09-03 20:58:09 UTC 
Instead of squash everything into "window manager warnings",
let the glib log framework handle Mutter (and other) warnings.
META_USE_LOGFILE support is preserved by rerouting warnings
in our domain.
This way we get process name and PID, nice CRITICAL/WARNING/ERROR
instead of a number, and the ability for plugins to override
the log handler. For example gnome-shell uses this to output
a JS backtrace.

I know, I was already in the club:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637573

But the world is different now, metacity is dead, half of the libraries are not covered by that log handler, and we have JS backtraces in the shell.

Going to close this as a duplicate of 622441 to have less of the same task in the list.
