This will be required in the upcoming version of GJS.
The reference count on ShellGlobal is 2 at this point, because JS holds a
reference due to the "window.global = Shell.Global.get()" line in
ui/environment.js. Therefore, destroy the GjsContext first, then unref
the ShellGlobal object.
Cleaning up ShellGlobal was previously only enabled behind a debug
environment variable, but it should be required now.

Negative values don't make sense to timestamps, and an unsigned
timestamp as returned by shell_global_get_current_time() or
Gdk/Clutter events may exceed the range of signed integers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769216
The text-scaling-factor GSetting was not being properly propagated
to clutter and the Pango font map; under X this is done by Clutter,
which listens to XSETTINGS directly.

All current code assumes that the list of window actors corresponds to the
list of windows; however as the list returned by meta_get_window_actors()
now includes actors during the destroy animation, that assumption breaks.
Eventually we should make everyone move to a more appropriate API, but
for now make it work again by returning a filtered list of "good"
window actors.

It's useful to know how long frames are taking to render on the GPU.
This is impossible to measure in the normal case because frames may
parallelize with previous frames, but by calling glFinish() at the
end of the frame, we can create a (somewhat artificial, but useful)
environment where we have a meaningful timestamp for the frame
finishing drawing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732350
Instead of always logging frame timestamps for every frame - which
was using >26 bytes of memory per frame, or 5MB per hour of continuous
redrawing - make frame timestamps something that defaults off and is
turned turned on using a new ShellGlobal::frame-timestamps property by
the perf scripts.

On X11 we don't need to scale up fonts because font scaling is already handled
by clutter based xft-dpi. On wayland we need to set the resolution by ourselves
so do that when the scale factor changes.

Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.

Rework the way we re-exec the shell on OpenBSD so that it does not only
work the first time it is re-exec'd.

It can be useful to augment the shell's search path by doing
GNOME_SHELL_JS=resource:///org/gnome/shell:<mypath>
But this doesn't work because resource: is split off. Special
case path elements that are just 'resource' and recombine
them with the next element.

Currently we update the scale factor on startup and when we get a
monitors-changed signal, which is not the only cases where the setting changes. We cannot listen for gdk-window-scaling-factor changes because it is not
exported to gdk.
So use gtk-xft-dpi which also indicates a scale factor change.
When someone changes gtk-xft-dpi directly without changing the scale factor
we will just re-read the gdk-window-scaling-factor so no harm is done.

clutter_device_manager_get_core_device calls XIGetClientPointer, which
requires a round-trip to the server. Since we do this on StWidget
creation, this means a full round-trip for every created StWidget.
Replace this with get_device with the ID of the VCP/VCK, since mutter
doesn't support MPX, and we know this is what the device is.
If gdk_screen_get_setting fails, like if it's running without XSettings,
then the GValue will have a value of 0. A lot of code tries to divide by
the scale factor. This produces NaN, and combined with the fact that NaN
is "leaky", we very quickly end up spinning out of control.
In cases where we have an array of 0 elements or similar, the
data returned may be NULL. Since g_file_replace_contents will
assert in this case, simply check for this and delete the file
instead.

Gdk uses Xwayland, so it only sees the events we forward to X11
clients. Instead, we can use the abstraction API provided by
mutter and get the right value automatically.
Also, we need to use MetaCursorTracker to handle the cursor
visibility too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707467
We need to call into MetaScreen to set the cursor, but we can't
do that from libst, so add a hook that libgnome-shell can fill,
and remove more ClutterX11 usage.

When running as a wayland compositor, the clutter stage doesn't
have an usable window for IPC, so just create another one.
Also, disable freezing the keyboard when running on wayland, as
we can't do it really.

The duality of the Clutter's key focus and mutter's window focus has long been
a problem for us in lots of case, and caused us to create large and complicated
hacks to get around the issue, including GrabHelper's focus grab model.
Instead of doing this, tie basic focus management into the core of gnome-shell,
instead of requiring complex "application-level" management to get it done
right.
Do this by making sure that only one of an actor or window can be focused at
the same time, and apply the appropriate logic to drop one or the other,
reactively.
Modals are considered a special case, as we grab all keyboard events, but at
the X level, the client window still has focus. Make sure to not do any input
synchronization when we have a modal.
At the same time, remove the FOCUSED input mode, as it's no longer necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700735
Currently we simply set the gsettings key when activating an input
source. This obviously introduces a time window, between the event that
activates the switch and when the switch is complete, under which key
events are being delivered to applications and interpreted according
to the previous input source.
The patches in bug 696996 introduce a DBus API in g-s-d that allows us
to know when an input source if effectively active. Using that and
freezing keyboard events in the X server until we hear back from g-s-d
we can ensure that events won't be misinterpreted after an input
source switch.

Doing so causes useless full stage redraws and breaks culling
as clutter cannot know how the signal handler affects painting.
So use clutter_threads_add_repaint_func_full instead.

This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background

The notifications spec has two hints for playing a sound, sound-file

As pressure barriers need a signalling mechanism to provide
information about when and where they are hit, an object which
provides a signal is a more appropriate abstraction for a pointer
barrier than a functional ID-based approach. Mutter has gained
pointer barrier wrappers, so use its objects instead of ours.

While looking at how the plymouth implementation was built, I was so
short-sighted and focused on the string "_XROOTPMAP_ID" that I didn't
realize it was the name of the standard background on the root window.
Remove our own implementation, and switch to using a standard mutter
MetaBackgroundActor.

The supposed reason for launching the calendar server in a peculiar
way was so that the process would be killed when the Shell was killed,
but that didn't actually work. Launch the calendar server through auto-start,
and persist all throughout the session.

This currently causes the shell to freeze very often in a thread
deadlock, and the gjs garbage collector behavior is currently getting

Instead of falling back to a set of default values or crashing the
window manager when an invalid mode is specified, check the value
of the ShellGlobal:session-mode property before taking over as WM
and make a clean exit if it cannot be resolved to an existent mode.

Add a session-mode property on ShellGlobal which corresponds to the
new --mode switch. Make the existing ShellGlobal:session-type property

Recent mutter changes made MetaShapedTexture not a ClutterTexture,
but instead a special ClutterActor subclass that implemented the texture-y
bits itself. Use recently introduced API in MetaShapedTexture so that we can
get the raw texture data and spit it out as a PNG.
Use the new meta_shaped_texture_get_image() to get a window's texture data.
meta_shaped_texture_get_image() flattens the image against any mask it may
have, so a screenshot of it should look exactly as it does on the display.

For the Intel drivers, using glReadPixels() to read into client-memory
directly from the frame buffer is much slower than creating a pixel
buffer, copying into that, and then mapping that for reading. On other
drivers, the two approaches are likely to be similar in speed. Create
a ShellScreenGrabber abstraction that uses pixel buffers if available.
Use that for screenshots and screen recording.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669065
Use the correct clip offsets when taking the screenshot of a window, to
exclude possible invisible borders and to include the case where the
window doesn't have any frame itself.
Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.
