Much of St is undocumented, aside from input/output arguments. This is
no doubt because a lot of it parallels Gtk closely, but is worth
improving since many new programmers are not familiar with Gtk.

The framebuffer we use for rendering shadows is scaled by the resource
scale, that means we also need to offset coordinates when translating
them to the framebuffers coordinate system.
So far we forgot to do that when translating the framebuffer using the
position of the actor, which lead to small rendering bugs of
text-shadows for actors allocated at non-zero origins. To fix that,
simply multiply those positions with the actors resource scale.

To do this, we now wait for the start/stop job to complete. We also have
two targets in gnome-session to ensure that everything is working as
expected.
In order to start the services, we simply request the
gnome-session-x11-services-ready.target unit, and wait for it to become
available. To stop, we use the gnome-session-x11-services.target unit
which should stop all services in a way that is entirely race free.
This requires both gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon changes to
work (which are in the corresponding merge requests).

The timeout seems to have been carried over from the old code that
relied on gnome-shell calling 'GetEvents' after every 'Changed' signal

calendar-server is sending the changes themselves via signals this is no
longer necessary and actually causes a delay when switching between
months.

When using the NVIDIA driver, textures tend to loose their pixels when

driver was used, and reload the background whenever we noticed we
resumed from suspend.
This shouldn't be needed anymore after

handle this by listening to video-memory-purged signal. Thus remove our

Since commit b60836932 we only allow WM_CLASS matches for sandboxed
applications if the found app's ID is prefixed by the sandbox ID.
The existing check still has a hole in it though: "org.example.Foo"
and "org.example.FooDevel" are different applications, yet the former
is a prefix of the latter.
So tighten the check by including a trailing "." in the checked prefix;
this excludes cases like the above, while still working for the regular
case of a single .desktop file because our app IDs include the ".desktop"
suffix.
Spotted by wjt.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1357
Currently our heuristics for matching a window to its app check
for the application ID before the WM_CLASS, as the ID is more
reliable in so far that it is outside the application's control
and so it cannot use it to spoof a different application.
However this also prevents applications with multiple .desktop
files like LibreOffice from matching any .desktop files other
than the one under the main ID.
Since we now no longer allow the WM_CLASS to match a .desktop
file that doesn't belong to the sandboxed application, we can
fix that issue by checking the WM_CLASS first, without opening
the door to spoofing.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/219
At least flatpak (no idea about snap, sorry) enforces that all .desktop
files exported by a sandboxed app use the application ID as prefix.
Add the same check when trying to find a match based on the WM_CLASS,
to prevent sandboxed apps from matching a .desktop file they do not
own.
At the moment this is unlikely as we check for a match on the
sandboxed app ID first, but we are about to change that.

Now that we can always associate a GIcon with the app, add a method
to access it. While create_icon_texture() is still likely to be more
convenient in most cases, exposing the icon can still be useful, for
example to add it to a different kind of actor or to compare it with
other GIcons.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1342
We still load the surface into an StImageContent, but instead of
adding the content to an actor we hand out, return the content
itself (as GIcon).
That means we lose the ability to specify an icon size, but as we
get the pixel data from a fixed-size surface anyway, that shouldn't
matter much in practice.
Not to mention that the function is only used for fallback X11 icons,
which are already shit more often than not.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1342
On the one hand, this is a bit of a stretch: StImageContent is what
we create from GIcons.
But on the other hand, there's some justification: StImageContent does
represent an image (and likely icon) after all, and there's some
precedent with GdkPixbuf.
In the end as we don't care about serialization or loading from other
API, we can go with a very crude implementation that allows us to
pass out a content as GIcon and use it directly when "loading" it.
We will use that soon to represent X11 window icons as GIcons, which
in turn will allow us to unify app icon handling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1342
ClutterActor provides the same function, but with a different return
value. So since we already switched to the ClutterActor implementation
in our C code, we can now safely remove st_widget_get_resource_scale()
and update the JS code that's still using the old API.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1287
Instead of using the "notify::resource-scale" signal and StWidgets
"resource-scale-changed" signal, use the new "resource-scale-changed"
signal of ClutterActor, which replaces its "resource-scale" property.
Since we'd now have two "resource-scale-changed" signals, one on
ClutterActor and one on StWidget, remove the StWidget one in favour of
the new one.

When scrolled, the container's allocation is smaller than the allocation
of the content. To account for that, commit 2717ca9d08 added the
additional size reported by the layout manager to the content allocation.
However as it did so unconditionally, we now allow children to extend
outside the parent even when *not* scrolled, which breaks any constraints
set on the container (like "width" or "max-height").
Fix this by only extending the child allocation in scrollable dimensions.

The performance of the icon grid was being hindered by a large number
of primitives (a few hundred) being copied from the CPU to the GPU on
each frame. This was first noticed in mutter#971 but we failed to
investigate all the issues at the time.
You can also see the high number using `COGL_DEBUG=batching` or
`COGL_DEBUG=disable-texturing`. So now it's obvious that high number is
every letter of every label being uploaded as a separate quad. Let's not
do that and instead treat the whole label as a single quad/texture.
Measured performance on an i7-7700 at UHD 3840x2160:
Journal entries per frame on the icon grid:
* Before: 288 (18 KB copied from CPU to GPU)
* After: 73 ( 4 KB copied from CPU to GPU)
Spring animation:
* Before: 20-30 FPS, avg 22/peak 45 milliseconds per frame
* After: 30-40 FPS, avg 14/peak 28 milliseconds per frame

As the view now scrolls from right-to-left in RTL locales, the

The shell mime sniffer goes through all the files in a directory,
however in case a file content type is not recognized, the GIO function
g_file_info_get_content_type() may return NULL, causing a crash when
looking up into the content type tables, as they are supposed to contain
strings only and they use `g_str_hash` has func, which doesn't support
NULL values.
So, in case we get an invalid content type, let's just ignore it,
without adding it to the cache as we do in the nautilus code that was
inspiring the sniffer.

As outlined in commit 36b8dcbe07, we can end up with wrong icons
if the icon theme changes right after a GTK theme change to/from
HighContrast triggered a theme reload.
That's because when we reload icons for the new icon theme, there
are already pending requests due to the icon-style change; those
requests are simply re-used for the new icons, with the existing
icon infos from the old theme.
The above commit applied a simple work-around by changing the
icon theme before the GTK theme, but that only works for the
HighContrast switch in our own UI.
It turns out that Settings also uses the "wrong" order, so the
issue still reproduces with the Universal Access panel.
So instead of relying on everything changing the settings in the
order we expect, cancel all ongoing requests on icon-theme changes.

Since e06109c23c we keep old theme nodes
valid during the emission of the "custom-stylesheets-changed" signal.

causing a crash because the assertion in _st_theme_resolve_url() fails.
So fix that and remove the stylesheet entry from the files_by_stylesheet
hashtable after emitting the "custom-stylesheets-changed" signal. And to
be consistent, also remove the entry from the stylesheets_by_file
hashtable after emitting the signal.

Avoid starting/stopping the gsd-xsettings systemd unit if the shell itself

have no means to neatly start/stop services, so should rely on the good

Since we now remove all theme nodes on a stylesheet change (ie.
StTheme's "custom-stylesheets-changed" signal) instead of only
invalidating them, those nodes may not be accessed anymore as soon as
"custom-stylesheets-changed" is emitted.
It turned out though that when comparing them to the newly generated
nodes in `st_widget_recompute_style()` using the
`st_theme_node_paint/geometry_equal()` functions, the properties of the
old nodes will still be accessed, causing a crash since the
CRDeclarations are already freed.
To fix that, keep the reference to the CRStylesheet, which owns the
CRDeclarations used by the theme nodes, around a bit longer, so it's
still possible to access the CRDeclarations inside the
"custom-stylesheets-changed" signal handler. This allows us to compare
the old theme nodes to the new ones since the CSS properties of both are
still valid.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2709
StThemeNodes are built around the assumption that they're "immutable",
that means they are created once with certain parameters (that resolve
to certain css properties) and then replaced with new ones in case those
parameters changed.
Changes to the internal information stored by theme nodes (i.e. the css
properties, font names or the cached scale-factor) are not all handled
the same though: For changes to the font or the scale-factor we remove
all theme nodes from the cache and let the widgets which are on stage
generate new theme nodes. For changes to the css properties/the
stylesheet, we invalidate the properties of all theme nodes but keep
them in the cache using `_st_theme_node_reset_for_stylesheet_change()`.
So be a bit more consistent and handle changes to the css-properties/the
stylesheet stored by StThemeNodes the same way as changes to the font or
scale-factor.

Theme node invalidation stops at unmapped widgets, and widgets
that forget to chain up to the default ::style-changed implementation.
This may leave stale nodes that were invalidated on
StThemeContext::changed, but are still set on widgets, and maybe
used for CSS property lookups.
Make sure that theme node invalidation happens always by moving
propagation outside the vfunc, and ensure the theme nodes are reset
across the full actor tree. Emission of ::style-changed, and obtaining
a new theme node may be delayed till when the actor is mapped.
The theme node is also cleared after unparenting an actor to avoid
stale references.
This ensures that all widgets get their theme node cleared after
stylesheet changes, instead of maybe being left with a theme node
that's been cleared of all its properties.

Commit d76162c1c0 removed the ability to pass an extension UUID to
the Extensions app, when we moved the dialog to a portal and made
gnome-shell use it instead of spawning the extensions app.
However that missed that many extensions called out to the app to
open their own prefs.
While extensions are encouraged to switch to the new openPrefs()

When building the list of window PIDs, it's possible Mutter doesn't know

Since commit 6a42d77261 we invalidate the
cached properties for each theme node on stylesheet changes by iterating
over the hashtable of the theme context instead of listening to the
signal in each individual theme node.
That commit forgot one particular node though that's not stored in the
hashtable, but using the `priv->root_node` property instead: The theme
node that belongs to the stage.
So make sure we also invalidate the cached properties of the stage theme
node on stylesheet changes. This fixes various crashes that happened
with extensions providing custom stylesheets (emitting the
"custom-stylesheets-changed" signal on every extension enable/disable),
trying to access an already freed CSS property of the stage.

Just like StIcon does, we should use a container widget for the fallback

Commit c89d6a633 introduced a default fallback icon that would be displayed in
case the main gicon or the fallback gicon wasn't set or failed to load.
This broke the use case where a StIcon is created but no main icon or
fallback icon are set on purpose, for example the appindicator extension
which always creates a StIcon to represent icons in menu items but the
actual icons are only set if the application provides one, leaving the
menu showing the default fallback ("image-missing") icon for all menu
entries that don't actually have an icon provided by the application.
Fix that by only using the default fallback icon if the provided one
failed to load.

The app-cache code currently stores the folder translations in a hash

This hash uses the filename (inc. extension) for the "desktop-directory"

on AppDisplay._findBestFolderName() which gets categories (folder names)
from the app info which doesn't contain the ".directory" extension.
Fix that by storing the filename without extension as the hash key for
the cached folder translations.

It seems reasonable that an entry shouldn't allow entering text when not

We want to completely clear the background framebuffer when switching

again. Otherwise the checks in `update_background_fbo` will return TRUE

before switchig to ACTOR mode.
While at it, also clear the background framebuffer completely when

When blurring only the actor (ACTOR mode), we don't want to apply any
scale, it looks fine without using the resource scale and it also seems
like `clutter_actor_continue_paint` in `paint_actor_offscreen` only
draws an unscaled texture anyway (ie. if the resource scale is 2, only a
quarter of the framebuffer is being drawn to).
In BACKGROUND mode though, we need to scale the framebuffer using the
scale factor of the stage view (ie. the final scale factor for the
monitor) because the content of the framebuffer we blit is scaled using
that factor. Also, since the framebuffer we blit belongs to a stage view
and only includes the contents of this view, we need to adjust the
stage-coordinates of the actor to be relative to the stage-view.
To make sure we don't have to get the transformed actor size or position
multiple times during one paint-run and don't have to carefully floor()
or ceil() widths and positions, store the size of the actor (which is
also the size of the framebuffer) and its position relative to the stage
view inside a ClutterActorBox.

A ClutterEffect is being painted as part of the paint cycle of
ClutterActor, where _clutter_effect_paint() is called before painting

while it's disabled, so remove the check whether the ClutterActorMeta is
enabled before painting.
Also if everything works fine in Clutter, the ClutterActorMeta should
have an actor set and we've been notified about that actor in
shell_blur_effect_set_actor(), so assert that our cached actor is set
when painting the effect.

The idea behind commit 3dd8ffc2bb to try harder to avoid empty
icon actors because of missing icons was sound, so implement that

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1127
The commit broke StIcon's :fallback-gicon property, as it relies on failure to load
an icon to determine that the fallback should be shown.
Luckily StIcon is the only user of st_texture_cache_load_gicon() (at least in

there.

If a given icon is not available for neither the current theme nor any
of the fallback options (default theme -"Adwaita", "gnome"...), the
call to gtk_icon_theme_lookup_by_gicon() will return a NULL value, which
returned by the Shell Toolkit as is, causing trouble in the Shell's JS
code when calling shell_app_create_icon_texture() to create an icon.
To at least mitigate the chances of this having this issue happening, we
should at least try to load the standad 'image-missing' icon from the
Icon Naming Specification spec when we receive a NULL here, so that
at least we try to show something to the user, even if it's ugly.

For sandboxed apps, permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
looks innocent enough. However as all exported services share the same
connection to the session bus, that permission actually grants an app
access to *any* shell D-Bus API.
While we want apps to use the notification portal, it is still common
for apps to use libnotify, raw D-Bus calls or even notify-send.
We don't want to give those apps a way to circumvent most of the sandbox
restrictions, so stop owning the org.freedesktop.Notifications name.
In a next step we will implement a separate notification-daemon that
exposes the API on the well-known address and proxies any requests to
the real implementation in gnome-shell.

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

Commit 88ac339774 changed StEntry behavior so the text hint would

However, IMs that use preedit still should count as "started typing",
while the text buffer is still officially empty.
To fix this, check on st_entry_update_hint_visibility() that there's
indeed no preedit buffer before showing the hint. We can't directly
listen to internal preedit buffer changes in ClutterText, so handle
preedit buffer updates through the ::cursor-changed signal that will

Now that Xwayland startup is asynchronous, the function may be called
before X11 is available, resulting in a crash.
Fix this by only managing the tray immediately if we already have an
X11 display, and wait for it to be set up otherwise.
Likewise, unmanage the screen when X11 becomes unavailable.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2308
Since support for legacy status icons is implemented by extensions
nowadays, they need to undo the call to manage_screen() when they
are disabled.
Right now that means bypassing garbage collection with an explicit
call to run_dispose() on the Shell.TrayManager. That works, but is
rather ugly.
An explicit unmanage_screen() method is a nicer option, and will be
useful to us as well to deal with X11 going away (once Xwayland
crashes don't bring down the entire session).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2308
NaTrayManager in particular is deeply tied to X11. We currently assume
that X11 support is always available, but that is already not true
anymore - Xwayland startup is now asynchronous.
It will be even less true once we handle Xwayland crashes gracefully.
Start addressing that by not creating the corresponding resources once
and assume they exist for the lifetime of Shell.TrayManager, but make
sure they exist when actually needed.

The g_file_replace_contents_async() API can potentially call fsync() from
the thread calling into it upon completion. This can have disasterous
effects when run from the compositor main thread such as complete stalls.
This is a followup to 86a00b6872 which
assumed (like the rest of us) that the fsync() would be performed on the
thread that was doing the I/O operations.
You can verify this with an strace -e fsync and cause terminal to display
a command completed notification (eg: from a backdrop window).
This also fixes a lifecycle bug for the variant, as
g_file_replace_contents_async() does not copy the data during the operation
as that is the responsibility of the caller. Instead, we just use a GBytes
variant and reference the variant there.

Implement ClutterActorClass.has_accessible() to ensure that CallyActor does not
recreate accessibles during the removal/destruction of an actor. This relies
on GNOME/mutter!1083 for the ClutterActorClass.has_accessible virtual function.
Running GNOME Shell for about 30 seconds results in a difference between
the two runs.

ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION

If we modify the paint volume to make it larger and include the blur
radius, we should also use the gained size and draw something there.
Since the framebuffers are only the size of the actor to blur, we're not
doing that right now anyway, so remove the vfunc override.

Use the shader for linear sampling and incremental calculation of the
gaussian kernel values as it was implemented by Patrick Walton in
webrender.
The sigma value for the blur (the standard deviation) is calculated by
taking the blur radius and dividing it by 3, this value is used by most
implementations of gaussian blurs since it covers a high percentage of
the gaussian shape.
The linear sampling optimization is implemented by skipping every second
texel (i += 2) in the for-loop that's sampling adjacent texels.

Floor the downscaled size of the new framebuffer to make sure we don't
initialize a framebuffer with a floating point value that might be
interpreted wrong by `cogl_texture_2d_new_with_size` and end up with a
slightly wrong aspect ratio of the framebuffer.
This fixes situations where the widths or heights of downscaled
framebuffers sometimes miss some pixels at the border.
While at it, remove the `downscale_factor` argument from
`setup_projection_matrix` since that function doesn't need the initial
size of the actor anyway.

`gnome-shell-perf-tool` is initially designed to run on X11, using the
`--replace` option which does not work when gnome-shell is a Wayland
compositor.
A solution would be to run `gnome-shell-perf-tool` in place of just
`gnome-shell` to run the entire perf session under Wayland, but the
script `gnome-shell-perf-tool` does not spawn `gnome-shell` as a Wayladn
compositor, so that fails as well.
Add a `--wayland` option to `gnome-shell-perf-tool` so that it can
optionally spawn gnome-shell as a Wayland compositor so the whole perf
tool can be starred from a console with:
```
$ dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell-perf-tool --wayland
```
Alternatively, for testing purposes, it can also be started nested with:
```
$ dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell-perf-tool --nested
```

On Wayland, the display server is the Wayland compositor, i.e.
`gnome-shell` itself.
As a result, we cannot spawn `gnome-shell-perf-helper` before
`gnome-shell` is started, as `gnome-shell-perf-helper` needs to connect
to the display server.
So, instead of spawning `gnome-shell-perf-helper` from the perf tool,
start it from `gnome-shell` itself.

For window-backed apps (read: windows we can't match to a .desktop
file), we use the window's icon property as icon. However there is
no such property on wayland (at least in the protocols we support),
so we end up with a blank actor in that case.
Do better than that, and pick a generic fallback icon instead.

Notifying the "text" property inside `st_entry_set_text()` misses all

St has the regular abstractions to handle actors that are bigger
than their parent could handle: StScrollable, StScrollView, and
StAdjustment.
However, the only StScrollable implementation available currently
is StBoxLayout, which forces a ClutterBoxLayout as the layout
manager (and relies on it not being unset).
Introduce StViewport, which is a minimal StScrollable implementation
that doesn't rely on any specific layout manager.

The brightness property of ShellBlurEffect is of float type, but

This is a moderately fast two-pass gaussian blur implementation.
It downscales the framebuffer dynamically before applying the
gaussian shader, which cuts down rendering time quite considerably.
The blur shader takes 2 uniforms as input: the blur radius; and
whether to blur vertically or horizontally.
The blur radius is treated as an integer in C land to simplify
calculations. The vertical parameter is treated as an integer by
the shader simply due to Cogl not having proper boolean support
in snippets.
At last, brightness is also added to avoid needing to use an extra
effect to achieve that. Brightness is applied in a different pipeline
than blur, so we can control it more tightly.
ShellBlurEffect also implements a "background" mode, where the contents
beneath the actor are blurred, but not the actor itself. This mode is
performance-heavy.

StScrollViewFade depends on st-scroll-view-fade-generated.c, but
that dependency isn't expressed to the build system; we just hope
that the custom target runs before compiling the effect.
Instead, add the generated source to the st target so the dependency
is expressed properly.
(The change from .c to .h is to prevent the file from being both
included and compiled, resulting in a duplicated symbol)

We're storing in the texture cache images and scaled images appending
the scaling factor to the key. When a file changes the cache key
corresponding to that file is removed, but not the keys for the scaled
ones so that images in the cache are never reloaded.
This patch removes all keys from the cache related to the file that
changes, including those with the scaling factor.
A new set (hash table) was added to keep track of scale used to be able
to remove all possible images in the cache.
When the KEY is removed from the cache, we can look now in the scale set
for and each scale we also remove the key "KEY1.000000", "KEY2.000000",
etc.
Assuming that the number of used scales is small (I would typically
expect one or two), the overhead should be negligible.

When removing a string from a settings list, we iterate over all
existing entries and copy all strings except the one that's being
removed to a new list, which is then written to GSettings.
However we currently always increment the index, so we end up with
a NULL entry in place of the removed entry, which is then interpreted
as the end of the list. In other words, we also remove all entries
that follow the removed string.
Fix this by looping over the list entries instead of the index, and
only increment the index for entries we copy.

Instead of every individual StThemeNode. There are essentially two kinds
of theme nodes: Those we create for lookups, and those interned by the
theme context and used by StWidgets. Listening to the signal on the former
is pointless as they are short lived and not meant to be really used for
drawing. So it is only essential to track stylesheet changes in those we
intern for later use.
This change does precisely that, it lets the StThemeContext track the
stylesheet changes and let all known theme nodes reset their state for
it.
The internal array holding all connected handlers for this signal in glib
was about the biggest single allocation made in gnome-shell, as interned
theme nodes nodes are around the 4 to 5 digit numbers. This essentially
makes it disappear.
This however means that widgets that are explicitly set a theme through
st_widget_set_theme() don't get their theme node implicitly updated.
There's little reasons to use that API, so perhaps this is an acceptable
tradeoff.

A StWidget could get its style from a) a theme set in the StThemeContext,
and b) directly through it's ::theme property. Generally, overriding CSS
through the latter cannot be recommended as it loses any connection with
the global theme (eg. the ones you get through selector specificity).
It sounds a bit too powerful and pervasive, there's no use for it in
gnome-shell and doesn't look like something that could be recommended on
extensions. So, just drop this piece of API.

By now, all containers and layout managers except StBin (and its
subclasses) use the generic ClutterActor expand/align properties
to control how their children are laid out.
This is particularly confusing as two or the properties StBin uses
for layout - x-align and y-align - shadow the generic ClutterActor
ones, but work very differently: They use a different enum and
determine how the bin lays out its child, instead of how the bin
is laid out by its parent.
Address this by deprecating the StBin properties and using the same
generic ClutterActor properties as everyone else.
