d416691896 boxpointer: Unset the sourceActor on destruction
A boxpointer sourceActor could be destroyed before the boxpointer itself.
In such case, unset the sourceActor reference, connecting to 'destroy' signal.

a8f6f01d67 dialog: Really set ellipsize mode in subtitle and body
Dialog's subtitle or body could not be properly wrapped, while it's ellipsized
when the text's width doesn't exceed the container size.

Clutter text has an `ellipsize` property, however in dialog's subtitle and body
we have been setting the `ellipsize-mode` property to Pango.EllipsizeMode.NONE
that is not present in the underlying GObject.

Not being an error in javascript, gjs didn't warn us about this, while at the
same time the St.Label's default Pango.EllipsizeMode.END was used.

1f03c94d31 windowManager: Don't animate touch/touchpad gesture in overview
The window group is hidden while in overview, so the stick-to-content
animation isn't visible either. Worse, the gestures messes up the
position of window actors in that case.

Fix that by skipping the (invisible) animations in the overview.

51b04134db messageTray: Re-enable unredirection when banner is destroyed
The intention of commit 4dc20398 was to disable unredirection while
banners are shown, but the ::done-displaying signal currently used for
re-enabling unredirection is only emitted under some circumstances, so
it's possible that unredirection is left disabled indefinitely, whoops.

Fix this by tying disabling unredirection explicitly to the lifetime
of the banner actor.

e23f4d6c7c shellActionModes: disable POPUP keybindings in unlock screen
Certain keybindings should continue to work even when a popup
menu is on screen. For instance, the keybinding for showing
the app menu and the keyinding for showing the calendar are
examples.

This is achieved by putting in place a special "POPUP" action
mode, whenever a popup menu is active.  This mode replaces
the (e.g., "NORMAL" or "OVERVIEW") action mode that was in place
for as long as the popup menu is active.

But those keybindings should not work when the user is at the
unlock dialog (which uses an action mode of "UNLOCK").

Unfortunately, since commit c79d24b6 they do.

This commit addresses the problem by forcing the action mode
to NONE at the unlock screen when popups are visible.

ca54b55c01 keyboard: Do not call KeyboardManager.holdKeyboard() with set-content-type
When gnome-shell receives the signal of 'set-content-type' from ibus,
gnome-shell calls KeyboardManager.holdKeyboard() and
KeyboardManager.releaseKeyboard() and the functions change the current
input focus in GNOME Xorg and it could result in closing a popup window
which has a password entry by focusing on the entry.
The solution is to stop to call the APIs on 'set-content-type' signal.

4e1747e6ec ibusManager: Don't pass undefined callback to ibus
Since commit 551e827841, we don't always pass a callback parameter.
However passing it on as undefined to ibus doesn't work, as gjs doesn't
accept that as a valid callback value and throw an error. As a result,
we can end up with no layout selected in the keyboard menu and an "empty"
indicator. Fix this by explicitly passing null if no callback has been
provided.

3dffdab1ad workspace: Confine caption width to workspace area
When we started to only show a single caption at a time, we allowed
title captions to be wider than their corresponding window preview.
But while overlapping neighboring previews is fine, we shouldn't

fd75921f13 notificationDaemon: support file:// or icon theme names for image-path
While this sounds counter-intuitive, the image-path hint value might also
be used with URIs or icon names.

As per freedesktop standard:
  The "app_icon" parameter and "image-path" hint should be either an URI
  (file:// is the only URI schema supported right now) or a name in a
  freedesktop.org-compliant icon theme (not a GTK+ stock ID).

Thus the image-path hint should also be parsed as it happens for the
app_icon.

Reuse same logic, by falling back on _iconForNotificationData with the
hint value.

bacdd1c12d iconGrid: Keep icons reactive during pulse animation
The `reactive` property of icon actors was being restored multiple times
over the course of the pulse animation, all at slightly different times
as each icon finished animating at different times.

The problem is that toggling `reactive` on an `StWidget` incurs a style
change of the `insensitive` pseudo class, and style changes would quickly
queue relayouts incurring full stage reallocation. This occurred many times
during a pulse animation, limiting its smoothness and performance.

The solution is to not toggle the `reactive` property in the pulse
animation at all, which avoids incurring multiple full stage relayouts.

As a bonus, this means the icon under the cursor pulses with the correct
selection highlight, appearing more seamless and responsive.

78f6a409aa iconGrid: Defer and group animation cleanup
The `reactive` property of icon actors was being restored 24 times over
the course of the spring animation, all at slightly different times as
each icon finished animating at different times.

The problem is that toggling `reactive` on an `StWidget` incurs a style
change of the `insensitive` pseudo class, and style changes would quickly
queue relayouts incurring full stage reallocation. This occurred many times
during a spring animation hogging the CPU and limiting the frame rate.

The solution is defer and batch the cleanup for all icons until after the
last icon has finished animating. This way the CPU impact of the style
change and stage relayout isn't felt during the animation so the frame
rate remains higher and smoother. The overall CPU usage of the animation
is also reduced as the remaining relayouts are much more likely to be
grouped into a single frame.

Icon spring animation performance on an i7-7700:
Before: 83% CPU and 47 FPS
After : 78% CPU and 54 FPS
which is about a 22% increase in performance per clock (FPS/CPU).

501a1aff68 appFavorites: Don't add app explicitly
When adding a favorite, we add the ID to the list of favorites, save the
setting and add the new app to the favorites map. However as writing the
settings value already results in reload() to update the favorites map,
the new app is usually already in the map when we add it.

The only exception is when the ID was found in the RENAMED_DESKTOP_IDS map,
in which case we end up adding both the renamed app and the original one.
Fix this by simply relying on reload() to properly update the map, just like
we already do in _removeFavorite().

7190666075 closeDialog: Untrack chrome when window loses focus
On X11, reactive chrome must be added to the input region in order
to work as expected. However that region works independently from
any window stacking, with the result that the unresponsive-app dialog
currently blocks all input in the "covered" area, even in windows
stacked above the unresponsive window.

The correct fix would be to track the unobscured parts of the dialog
and set the input region from that, but that's quite cumbersome. So
instead, only track chrome when the corresponding window is focused
(or the dialog itself of course).

e2f6a1980d automountManager: Explicitly track active operations
As a mount operation's UI may be reused (for example after mistyping
the password), we only close the operation once the mount has finished
(successfully or with error).

We therefore need to track ongoing operations, which we currently do
by monkey-patching the corresponding volume object. However while the
underlying GVolume object indeed remains the same through-out the
operation, the JS wrapper object isn't referenced anywhere and may
thus be garbage collected, resulting in a stuck dialog.

Fix this issue by tracking active operations explicitly, so that all
involved objects are referenced until the end of the operation.

endSessionDialog: squash "reference to undefined property" warning
dialogContent is set to one of the elements of the list DialogContent,

    JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js
    763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"

(The line number corresponds to this line in 3.28.3.)

The warning is apparently not triggered if the undefined property is
used as part of a boolean expression:

    gjs> var x = {};
    gjs> x.a;
    typein:2:1 strict warning: reference to undefined property "a"
    gjs> if (x.b) { log('oh no'); }

_setCheckBoxLabel() just checks the truthiness of its 'text' argument,
and the empty string is false-y, so passing '' rather than undefined has
no functional effect.

33ffdd6061 Fix connection to wifi APs from user menu (RH #1628263)
In recent Fedora 29, connecting to wifi access points from the
user menu (top-right menu) does not work. Clicking the 'Connect'
button just animates it but does nothing else. The logs show an
error "JS ERROR: Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument
'specific_object' but got type 'undefined'".

Looking into this, it seems the problem is these uses of the
`path` property of an NMAccessPoint. NMAccessPoint inherits
from NMObject, and NMObject *does* have a path property:

https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/NMObject.html#NMObject--path

so at first glance this seems fine. But I poked around a bit
using libnm via Python (which goes via introspection, just like
this JS code does), and found that indeed AccessPoint objects
don't seem to have a `path` property there either.

Looking at the libnm code, this actually makes sense, because
the property is marked "(skip)":

https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/libnm/nm-object.c#L1291

and the introspection docs suggest that means it should be left
out of introspected output:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations#Symbol_visibility

I'm a bit concerned that this was only found recently - whereas
the change to use `.path` in gnome-shell dates from October 2017
(d71af5e5) and the property has been marked (skip) in NM since
at least 2016 - but this all seems to add up. The obvious fix is
to replace use of `.path` with `.get_path()`, which returns the
path and is *not* marked (skip) and so *is* available via
introspection. I tested that this works in Python and also did
a test build of gnome-shell with this change and installed it on
an affected system, it does seem to fix the bug.

translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.

Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.

To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

fcdac69eea switchMonitor: switch to next config upon initial keypress
In GNOME-3.24, pressing Super+P or a similar function key would cause
a switch to the next available monitor configuration.

However, in GNOME-3.26, this was reimplemented in mutter and gnome-shell
and the behaviour is now different: pressing Super+P and releasing will
cause no change in montor configuration[1]. In this new design you have
to press Super+P and keep holding Super in order to keep the switcher
open, then press P again (or use the arrow keys or mouse) to
select the next one in the list.

This is incompatible with many Asus products such as Asus X530UN, where
pressing the presentation mode media key (Fn+F8) actually generates
the following keypress events from the keyboard controller:

Fn pressed: nothing
F8 pressed: nothing
F8 released: Super press, p press, p release, Super release (quick burst)
Fn released: nothing

With this firmware behaviour it's not possible to hold the keys and have
the dialog come up so that you can select another new mode.

To solve this, when the switcher is opened, select the next available
display config by default, which is more similar to the pre-GNOME-3.26
behaviour. Now pressing Fn+F8 on this laptop will result in the display
mode switch taking place.

[1]: The mentioned desired behaviour will at least happen after

9d6e1a89fc workspaceTracker: Don't keep multiple trailing workspaces
Since we always keep the active workspace until the user switches
to a different one, we may end up with two empty workspaces at
the end. It's not obvious to users why this happens, and there's
indeed no good reason for the behavior - just remove the trailing
workspace in that case.
