This will replace the indicator painted on the stage right now.
This unfortunately does not work for the recorder triggered by the
keybinding -- we'll simply replace the in-shell code with a keybinding
powered by gnome-settings-daemon.
We currently monitor the shell's override schema for changes to
the 'dynamic-workspaces' key, which ends up being the wrong
schema in classic mode. With the new ability to use mode-specific
overides, we can finally fix this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701717
This will allow the use of mode-specific defaults. For classic mode
we currently implement this with mini-extensions, but this may result
in confusing behavior when settings change due to extensions being
disabled during screen locks (not to mention that those mini-extensions
are hardly an elegant approach).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701717
We will allow to use mode-specific overrides; in preparation for that,
move the code so that we only override preferences after initializing
the session mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701717
There is not always a clear distinction between code and style,
which is why the interface ends up being mostly unusable when we
end up without *any* style, for instance because the specified
application-stylesheet is corrupt.
Setting the default stylesheet in addition to the application-stylesheet
is no guarantee for non-default themes not messing up the interface, but
it should at least lower the risk ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700097
With sticky keys, users should be able to press and release a
modifier and then press a key to activate a modifier-key combination.
Activating the overview on the Super key release keeps these
users from using keyboard shortcuts involving the Super modifier.
The solution implemented here is to simply disable the Super-release
binding if sticky keys are enabled. It is still possible to go
to the overview by using Super-S or Alt-F1.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685974
Since commit 7cdb75e7ce, initializing UI is deferred until the session
mode has been loaded. However DBus is still initialized immediately,
which means that for DBus methods that access properties in Main, there
is now a window between the method being exposed on the bus and the
method being ready to be called. At least g-s-d grabbing global keybindings
is likely to fall in this window on session startup, and almost guaranteed
when regrabbing bindings after a shell restart.
To fix, defer initializing DBus as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694321
With fallback mode gone, we can no longer rely on gnome-screensaver
being installed. Rather than handling three different cases (GDM,
gnome-screensaver, no lock), disable the lock functionality when
not running under GDM.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693403
With fallback mode dropped, we can no longer rely on gnome-screensaver
to be installed, so we'll have cases where we are unable to lock the
screen. The user menu should not show the "Lock" item in this case,
but as UnlockDialog includes UserMenu, we cannot use the existing check
without creating a circular dependency; move the function to a more
generic place to fix.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693403
We currently call the session updated handler as soon as
the session modes are read. This handler sets up keybindings
for leaving the overview (if a user session) and shows the
login dialog (if a gdm session).
We can't do the latter until the stage is mapped because it
takes a grab, and we don't need to do the former until the
user goes into the overview.
This commit defers processing session updates until the
the layout manager says start up is prepared.
It fixes a race condition at login screen startup now that
we don't show the stage right away.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694321
This cleans up the code considerably, and makes it so that
one path creates all hot corners for all monitors. Why this
wasn't done originally, I have no clue...
The one complication is debouncing if the button and hot corner
are triggered in rapid succession, so we just move this tracking
to the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663661
Toggling the overview during the startup animation reportedly
causes stuck grab and other odd behavior.
There's no reason to handle toggling the overview during this
time anyway.
This commit defers that handling until after startup.

Implement a basic OSD popup that shows an icon and optionally a label
and a fill level. It is based on the existing OSD implementation in
gnome-settings-daemon, which it will replace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613543
Right now we take a still frame of the desktop before showing the
start up animation. This gives us an animation over what was
there before startup.
That's not actually desirable when restarting the shell. We don't
want to animate over undecorated windows, we really want to animate
over the noise texture.
This commit drops the still frames in favor of the noise texture.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694326
Mutter now makes session registration an explicit required
step. This is so we can tell the session manager when
we're ready to move on to the next phase.
This commit calls the new Meta.register_with_session() api after we're
initialized.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694876
We sometimes map the stage before we've loaded a background on it
because of a race asynchronously loading the session mode.
This manifests as the startup animating starting over a white
background.
This commit defers showing the stage until after the still frames
are loaded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694321
This means that windows will be positioned correctly with respect
to the panel when the shell starts up, and there won't be adjusting
after the session animation zooms in entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694227
This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background
api, and changes the shell's startup animation to be closer

Starting the startup animation when we don't have that much IO

commit 92083eaf76 made
session mode loading an asynchronous operation.
Aspects of the session mode aren't known immediately at
start up. For instance, sessionMode.isGreeter returns
false for greeter sessions until the asynchronous
operation completes.
This commit defers start up processing until the session
mode is fully known.

The activities button may come and go at any moment now that we

With the new flexible system in place, there's no point explicitly
hardcoding some built-in keybindings; just use the generic mechanism

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
For now we just use it to assign an identifier to modal modes in
which we want to allow some keybindings, but we don't use it for
any actual filtering; we'll start doing this shortly.

We are currently using a hack to allow a select set of keybindings
in the overview. Implement the new MetaPlugin keybinding_filter

Entering the overview with the overlay key is done on key release but
exiting the overview on key press, which is inconsistent.
This change makes the overview hidden also on key release.

As PAM messages are now shown below the password entry, there is no

Have main.js call .showDialog() when going back from the lock-screen, instead

_keepDialog is still used as LoginDialog cannot really be destroyed,

Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed
at runtime, like extension, but are tied more directly to a session
mode. The session polkit agent, the network agent, autorun/automount,
are all components, keyring, recorder and telepathy client are all
now copmonents.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
Since we eventually want to add a system for changing the top panel
contents depending on the current state of the shell, let's use the
"session mode" feature for this, and add a mechanism for updating the
session mode at runtime. Add support for every key besides the two
functional keys, and make all the components update automatically when the
session mode is changed. Add a new lock-screen mode, and make the lock
screen change to this when locked.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
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,

We already could build the right part of the panel declaratively according
to the session mode. Extend that to handle the left and center parts.
Also, move the mapping from the roles to the classes in panel.js, as it shared

gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon rely on the screensaver

Track screen lock status in the message tray, and filter banner
notifications. The message tray is completely hidden when the screen is
locked, but exceptions can be made for individual transient notifications,
such as shell messages and the on screen keyboard.
Non transient sources are shown in the middle of the lock screen. Resident
notifications (such as those from Rhythmbox) are shown in full, while
persistent ones are displayed as icon and message count.

The design calls for the curtain to appear in the gdm greeter too.

We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield
that is part of gnome-shell.
This patch fades out the screen on idle and shows a shield with a background

Destroyed modal actors should be completely removed from the modal

Use the ShellMountOperation dialogs we have to implement a DBus API
allowing other processes to display them.
Since GtkMountOperation now tries to call into our DBus implementation,
every application that uses a GtkMountOperation will gain integration

with GVfs).

When the shell takes control of the screen (for example to show
a modal dialog or to lock the screen), it must reestablish itself
on top of the stack, and in particular restore any unredirected
window so that it is composited below the Shell UI.

Initially, extensions were loaded after they shell had fully created

Rather than accessing global.session_type / global.session_mode

Pausing means that we will continue to use the same output file when
the keybinding is activated again. While useful to record a single
video in chunks, it doesn't seem to be how most users understand the

one the next time the keybinding is pressed.

The keybinding to toggle the screen recorder was implemented as a

In the workspace-collecting code we add a check to avoid collecting a
workspace if any startup sequence is running there. Since the sequence

Some modifiers like NumLock or ScrollLock don't make sense in
keybindings, which is why we ignore them in mutter when matching

The dynamic-workspaces key was introduced to allow us to opt out of
writing the num-workspaces setting (which is ignored with the dynamic

The correct way to make an actor having the same size as another is
a ClutterBindConstraint. Connecting to 'allocation-changed' fails because
the allocation might not change even when 'width' and 'height' properties do.
This is the case of Main.uiGroup, used as parent container for zoomed
window clones.
In lightbox.js we bind also the position because in principle it could change,
even if currently only fullscreen lightboxes are used.

The AutomountManager class is the low-level counterpart of the
previously introduced AutorunManager, and takes care of extracting the
list of valid mounts from a GVolume or a GDrive and mounting them,
provided a number of conditions and requirements are met.
AutomountManager also keeps track of the current session availability
(using the ConsoleKit and gnome-screensaver DBus interfaces) and
inhibits mounting if the current session is locked, or another session
is in use instead.

AutorunManager is a class that takes care of displaying and managing
notifications and UI for storage devices.
When a mount appears and a number of conditions are satisified, a
