Subject: [PATCH] Add development setup guides and Docker configuration

This commit adds comprehensive documentation and tooling for setting up Guake development and testing environments on macOS:

## New Files
- QUICKSTART.md: Quick reference guide with copy-paste commands for common tasks
- SETUP_DEV.md: Comprehensive development setup guide for macOS and Linux
- DOCKER.md: Detailed Docker setup guide with troubleshooting for X11 forwarding
- Dockerfile.dev: Ubuntu 22.04 development container with GTK/VTE/build tools
- docker-compose.dev.yml: Docker Compose configuration for easy container management
- scripts/setup-dev.sh: Automated setup script for dependency installation

## Why
Guake is a GTK-based Linux terminal emulator. These additions:
1. Enable developers to contribute on macOS using Docker
2. Provide clear setup instructions reducing friction for new contributors
3. Include Docker containerization for isolated Linux testing environment
4. Document common development workflows and troubleshooting

## Testing
- Setup verified on macOS with Python 3.13
- Build succeeds (creates distribution wheel)
- Imports work correctly
- Docker image builds successfully

+# Guake Docker Setup
+
+Since Guake is a Linux GTK application, Docker provides the cleanest way to test and run it on macOS.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- For GUI testing: XQuartz (macOS) or X11 server (Linux)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Build the Docker Image
+```bash
+docker build -t guake:dev -f Dockerfile.dev .
+```
+
+### 2. Using Docker Compose (Recommended)
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+
+# In another terminal, connect to the container:
+docker exec -it guake-dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+### 3. Manual Docker Run
+
+#### Linux Users:
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \
+  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
+  -v ${PWD}:/guake:rw \
+  guake:dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+#### macOS Users:
+
+First, install and start XQuartz:
+```bash
+brew install xquartz
+open -a XQuartz
+```
+
+Configure X11 to accept connections from Docker:
+```bash
+defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 nolisten_tcp -boolean false
+pkill -9 Xvfb; true
+```
+
+Then run Docker:
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 \
+  -v ${PWD}:/guake:rw \
+  guake:dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+Or use socat tunnel:
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start socat
+brew install socat
+socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/.X11-unix/0 &
+
+# Terminal 2: Run Docker
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 \
+  -v ${PWD}:/guake:rw \
+  guake:dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+## Inside the Container
+
+### Setup (if not already done)
+```bash
+cd /guake
+make dev
+sudo make install-schemas
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+```bash
+make test
+make test-coverage
+```
+
+### Check Code Quality
+```bash
+make style
+make check
+```
+
+### Run Guake GUI
+```bash
+guake &
+```
+
+### Build Distribution
+```bash
+make build
+```
+
+### Access Python Shell
+```bash
+pipenv shell
+python3 -c "import guake; print(guake.__version__)"
+```
+
+## Image Details
+
+The `Dockerfile.dev` includes:
+
+- **Base:** Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+- **GTK:** GTK 3.0 with VTE terminal widget
+- **Tools:** Python 3, pipenv, git, build essentials
+- **Locale:** Full locale support
+- **D-Bus:** For system communication
+- **Development:** All headers and dev libraries
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### "Cannot connect to X server"
+- **Linux:** Make sure `/tmp/.X11-unix` exists and is accessible
+- **macOS:** Ensure XQuartz is running and X11 forwarding is configured
+
+### "No module named 'gi' (GObject introspection)"
+The Dockerfile includes all necessary GObject introspection bindings. If still missing:
+```bash
+apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-gi gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-vte-2.91
+```
+
+### "dbus-launch cannot be run setuid"
+This is normal in Docker. DBus operations should still work. Run:
+```bash
+export DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
+```
+
+### "Permission denied" errors
+The container runs as root by default. For safer operation, modify the Dockerfile to create a non-root user.
+
+## Customization
+
+### Use Different Python Version
+```bash
+docker build -t guake:py39 --build-arg PYTHON_VERSION=3.9 -f Dockerfile.dev .
+```
+
+### Add More Tools to Container
+Edit `Dockerfile.dev` and add to the `apt-get install` command.
+
+### Persistent Container
+```bash
+docker run -d --name guake-dev \
+  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
+  -v ${PWD}:/guake:rw \
+  guake:dev sleep infinity
+
+# Connect whenever needed:
+docker exec -it guake-dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+## Integration with macOS Development
+
+### Mount Local Code
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v ~/Documents/GitHub/guake:/guake:rw \
+  guake:dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+### Use IDE on macOS, Test in Docker
+1. Edit code in VS Code/PyCharm on macOS
+2. Run tests in Docker:
+```bash
+docker exec -it guake-dev make test
+```
+
+### Access Built Packages from macOS
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v ${PWD}/dist:/guake/dist \
+  guake:dev bash -c "make build && ls -la dist/"
+```
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- First build: ~5 minutes (downloads and installs dependencies)
+- Subsequent runs: < 1 second (cached layers)
+- Image size: ~1.5 GB
+- Container size: ~500 MB when running
+
+## Resources

+# Guake Development Setup Guide
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Development Environment (macOS)
+
+While Guake runs on Linux with GTK/VTE, you can set up the development environment on macOS for contribution and testing:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Documents/GitHub/guake
+
+# Install Python dependencies
+pip install pipenv
+make dev
+
+# Prepare for local execution
+sudo make install-schemas
+
+# Run tests
+make test
+
+# Build distribution
+make build
+```
+
+### 2. Docker Setup (Recommended for Testing/Running)
+
+Build and run Guake in a Linux container:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build -t guake:dev -f Dockerfile.dev .
+
+# Run Guake in container with X11 forwarding (Linux/Mac with XQuartz)
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \
+  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
+  guake:dev
+
+# Or use Docker Compose for easier setup
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+```
+
+## Installation Details
+
+### macOS Development
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Python 3.6+
+- pipenv
+- For system-wide installation: sudo
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. **Install dependencies via pipenv:**
+   ```bash
+   make dev
+   ```
+   This handles all Python dependencies automatically.
+
+2. **Install GTK schemas (required even for local dev):**
+   ```bash
+   sudo make install-schemas
+   ```
+
+3. **Run without installation (dev mode):**
+   ```bash
+   make run
+   ```
+
+4. **Or install system-wide:**
+   ```bash
+   make dev && make && sudo make install
+   ```
+
+### Available Make Targets
+
+| Target | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `make dev` | Setup complete dev environment |
+| `make run` | Run Guake in development mode |
+| `make test` | Run test suite |
+| `make build` | Build distribution packages |
+| `make style` | Run code style checks (black, flake8) |
+| `make clean` | Clean all generated files |
+| `make install` | Install system-wide (requires sudo) |
+| `make uninstall` | Remove system installation |
+
+### Docker Setup
+
+Guake in Docker provides a clean Linux environment for testing.
+
+**Quick start:**
+```bash
+docker build -t guake:dev -f Dockerfile.dev .
+docker run -it --rm guake:dev /bin/bash
+guake &  # Run in background
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Code changes:**
+   ```bash
+   # Edit files in ~/Documents/GitHub/guake/guake/
+   ```
+
+2. **Test changes:**
+   ```bash
+   make test          # Run unit tests
+   make style         # Check code style
+   make run           # Test GUI (requires X11 forwarding)
+   ```
+
+3. **Build distributions:**
+   ```bash
+   make build         # Creates wheel and sdist
+   ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Pipenv issues
+```bash
+# Clear and reinstall
+make clean
+make dev PYTHON_INTERPRETER=python3
+```
+
+### Schema compilation errors
+```bash
+# Reinstall schemas
+sudo make uninstall-schemas
+sudo make install-schemas
+```
+
+### Docker display issues (macOS)
+```bash
+# Install XQuartz first, then run with socat tunnel
+brew install socat
+socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/.X11-unix/0 &
+docker run -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 guake:dev
+```
