In time span between idle and lock the shield should behave like autologin,
but should prevent accidental reactivation (for example when using a touch
screen) by showing the curtain.

Since we're breaking API already, take this as an occasion to use a
separate interface for all the screenshot-related methods. The interface
name is org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot.
Internally, move all the related code to screenshot.js.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
Since we also support passing a basename now, clients might be
interested in knowing the path used to save the file.
Add an out argument to the interface for that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
If a non-absolute path is passed to the screenshot methods, treat it as
a basename for the output image, and automatically try to save it in
$XDG_PICTURES_DIR, falling back to $HOME if it doesn't exist.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
This is meant to expose the global.session_mode to applications such
as the gnome-tweak-tool, which would need it to differentiate between
the vanilla GNOME Shell mode and the fallback replacement mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689300
The interface was declared to take an unsigned integer instead
of a boolean, as gnome-screensaver does. Due to this,
gnome-screensaver-command --activate or --deactivate does not
work when used with gnome-shell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686063
The screenshield requires gdm 3.5, which can be problematic in
jhbuild configurations, or distributions that don't use GDM as the display
manager. Allow transparent fallback to gnome-screensaver in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683060
Have distinct session modes for the lock screen and the unlock dialog,
and rework the logic in ScreenShield to have the lock-screen mode stack
onto the unlock-dialog mode (where applicable)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682542
gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon rely on the screensaver
interface to know the locked state. Since gnome-screensaver is no
longer running, it's up to gnome-shell to provide it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
This is a bare-bones copy/replace. It does not implement ChangeLog
support. If we cannot get System Updates integration, I will implement
notification support.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679099
Instead of using the 'extension-state-changed' signal to relay errors,
use DBus's native error mechanism to inform the method caller that the
call has failed. This requires making the method actually asynchronous
so that we don't block the browser, which is stuck waiting for a reply
from the browser plugin. To ensure this, we need to modify the browser
plugin API to ensure its extesion installation method is asynchronous.
Additionally, this lets us remove the awful, broken hacks that we used
when a user clicked the "Cancel" button, replacing it by a DBus return
value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679099
These methods were initially introduced when I was planning on having
an explicit DisableExtension/EnableExtension, instead of hooking up
a gsettings notify. This behavior was changed at the last minute, but
the methods were kept to avoid having to change the browser-plugin.
Consumers of this API should just set the GSettings key directly
instead now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676837
Add a new dbus method that takes an area (x, y, width, height) and fires a
flashspot on it.
This would be useful for applications like totem and cheese.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669660
The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
Add two new APIs, "launchExtensionPrefs" to let SweetTooth let the user
launch the extension preferences tool directly from the browser. To allow
SweetTooth to check if an extension can be configured, add a new key to
the 'metadata', 'hasPrefs', which is returned by the GetExtensionInfo/
ListExtensions DBus methods.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652952
With GJS' GDBus implementation, we get the invocation paramters as an
array if we declare a method as async.
This is bad and not consistent with what GJS does for synchronous
methods, but it's the way it is, and other classes in gnome-shell
implement this correctly by exploding the array into its components in
the method implementation, but not the screenshot methods.
Also, we're supposed to return a value using the provided invocation
object, not with a callback now, so do that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667662
The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
Rewrite code acquiring dbus names so that it uses GDBus, and rewrite
ShellDBus so that it is exposed on the GDBus connection. Ports of
the other objects will follow.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648651
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660358
For those who like their system pure, this provides the ability to purge a
pesky extension and its precious place on your disk space, and in your
"Local Extension" list.

Conflicts:
js/ui/extensionSystem.js
This adds a new DBus method: InstallExtensionRemote(uuid : s, url : s)
Pass it the UUID of an extension and the URL of a manifest file: the same as a
metadata.json, but with a special key, '__installer', which is an HTTP location
that points to an zip file containing the extension. The Shell will download
and use it to install the extension. In the future, the manifest file may be
used to automatically detect and install updates.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654770
Adds methods to shell_global to allow taking screenshots
save the result into a specified png image.
It exposes three methods via shellDBus applications like
gnome-screenshot:
*) Screenshot (screenshots the whole screen)
*) ScreenshotWindow (screenshots the focused window)
*) ScreenshotArea (screenshots a specific area)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652952
Extension developers may be confused about why their extensions aren't working:
the LookingGlass isn't a very obvious place, or even which errors are theirs.
To remedy this, save all errors per-UUID which allows them to be retrieved
later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654770
Add ShellVersion, designed for detecting OUT_OF_DATE extensions so they can't
be installed, as well as ApiVersion, designed for backwards-compatibility with
the SweetTooth web-app, which must support all shell versions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654770
GetExtensionInfo() takes a UUID and returns a JSON object with information
about that extension including their metadata, path and current state.
ListExtensions() takes no arguments and returns a JSON object mapping UUIDs
to the same information objects described above.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654770
This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
For various reasons I'd like a method which allows evaluation; say
log in from another machine and run "gnome-shell --repl" or something.
Also as a possible solution for the screensaver X grab issue, add
a (read/write) property "OverviewActive".
