Placeholder images, means that the image sequence reserves a range for
images, displaying black while we wait for them to finish rendering.
This is meant as a feature to not break the layout of gooseberry
sequence edits while we wait for those frames to arrive.
* Revert 776bfa64a5 and c3dad7953a (some X11 systems are doing
stupid things forcing me to do an extra check that completely breaks the
click type handling on other systems using the slightly changed
implementation from those commits - see T44278)
* Fix sample lines in Compositor+VSE
(And yes, this time I tested on both of my systems to make sure
everything is fine)

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

sequencer.
Missing snap callback case. Quick patch is to use the sequencer specific
operator instead of generic translate. We really need to support proper
snap/snap options at some point though.
This reverts commit ec03ab021f.
Changing this since it looks like Mattieu does not really like the change.
Will be adding another way to tweak the directories
Basically same as 581afa9da3, but I guess we can assume that scopes added in future
to the image preview may also want to use the viewrect from the original ibuf.
If user cancels, there's an issue with leftover files.
Instead use a hash to record files that have akready been registered for
generation and skip them if so.
That should guarantee things will go smoothly and when a file exists it
is assumed to be valid.
* Enable operator for proxies now becomes set operator for selected and
can unset-set all options.
* Properties become read-only labels, only use operator to set proxies.
This parameter was confusing in three ways:
1. It should have been named "lock" because it was used to take and
release the sound mutex, not to indicate whether it was locked.
2. In the one place this function gets called the locked argument was
set to "true", so not much point in having it optional.
3. I can't imagine that it would ever be a good idea to skip taking
and releasing the mutex.
