Showing multiple preference dialogs at the same time (for instance
by repeated `gnome-extensions prefs` calls) may or may not work as
expected, depending on whether any of the dialogs is modal or not
(read: opened via the Extensions app).
The easiest way to address this is to disallow more than a single
dialog at the time. It's arguably also the more predictable behavior,
and means extensions don't have to deal with inconsistent state
caused by multiple dialogs.

GTK4 relies entirely on refcounting for cleanup (that is,
there is no longer a destroy() method that forces a dispose
run regardless of the refcount).
Unfortunately that makes cleanup harder in (some) language
bindings, where an object may be kept alive implicitly by
closures etc.
Address this by releasing the hold count when the window
is closed rather than when it is destroyed.
This isn't the most elegant, but it ensure that the service
doesn't get stuck if an extension doesn't carefully clean
up everything in its prefs widget.

Now that we allow extensions at the lock screens, extensions
are allowed for every session mode gnome-shell would typically
change to at runtime.
This means there's little advantage to having an allowExtensions
property in the session mode definition.
This commit simplifies the code a bit by dropping the property.
Third party session modes can still lock down extensions through
gsettings if they need to.

Now extensions can specify which session modes they work in,
but specifying the login screen or unlock screen session modes in

At the moment it's not realy possible to extend the login screen to do
things it doesn't have built-in support for. This means in order
to support niche use cases, those cases have to change the main
code base. For instance, oVirt and Vmware deployments want to be able
to automaticaly log in guest VMs when a user pre-authenticates through a
console on a management host. To support those use cases, we added
code to the login screen directly, even though most machines will never
be associated with oVirt or Vmware management hosts.
We also get requests from e.g. government users that need certain features
at the login screen that wouldn't get used much outside of government
deployments. For instance, we've gotten requests that a machine contains
prominently displays that it has "Top Secret" information.
All of these use cases seem like they would better handled via
extensions that could be installed in the specific deployments. The
problem is extensions only run in the user session, and get
disabled at the login screen automatically.
This commit changes that. Now extensions can specify in their metadata
via a new sessionModes property, which modes that want to run in. For
backward compatibility, if an extension doesn't specify which session
modes it works in, its assumed the extension only works in the user
session.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1967>
At the moment a session mode either allows extensions or it doesn't.
If it allows extensions, then the entire available list of
configured extensions get enabled as soon as the session mode is
entered.
Since enabling or disabling extensions is an all or nothing situation,
the code tracks whether extensions are already enabled when entering
the session mode, and if so, avoids iterating through the extension list
needlessly. It does this using a boolean named _enabled.
In the future, the extensions themselves will be given some say on
whether or not they should be enabled in a given session mode. This
means, the configured extension list may contain extensions that
shouldn't be enabled for a given session mode, and the _enabled boolean
will no longer be appropriated.
This commit drops the _enabled boolean optimization.

If a user hits escape twice really fast when coming back to
their machine to unlock it, they made end up getting presented
with a non-functional unlock screen that doesn't show their
user icon and doesn't ask for a password.
This is because showPrompt assumes that if an auth prompt already
exists, it's ready to go. That may not be true, if it's in the
process of getting torn down at the time because it's in the middle
of a cancel animation.
This commit solves the problem by ensuring the auth prompt is always
in a fresh reset state before showing it.

Commit dd2cd6286c restricted callers of the screenshot methods to
portal implementations, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-screenshot.
That restriction does make sense for the actual screenshot methods,
but `PickColor` is actually used by GTK in its color picker (and
therefore may be called from arbitrary applications).
Fix this by unrestricting access to `PickColor` again. Considering that
the method is always interactive, it's not very privacy/security-sensitive
anyway.

Previously we used `get_image()`, which returned `cairo_surface`,
in order to create a `ClutterContent` with a screenshot of the

Instead, use the new `paint_to_content()` API which lets us use a

This signal announces the preferred commit mode of the preedit text when

The Eval() method is unarguably the most sensitive D-Bus method
we expose, since it allows running arbitrary code in the compositor.
It is currently tied to the `development-tools` settings that is
enabled by default. As users have become accustomed to the built-in
commands that are enabled by the same setting (restart, lg, ...),
that default cannot easily be changed.
In order to restrict the method without affecting the rather harmless
commands, guard it by the new MetaContext:unsafe-mode property instead
of the setting.

Since touchpad smooth scroll events with source finger are handled by
the swipeTracker, the workspace scroll handler can focus on discrete
events.
Thanks to Mutter emulating discrete scroll events, see
meta_seat_impl_notify_scroll_continuous_in_impl in meta-seat-impl.c,
it is safe to ignore smooth scroll in the workspace scroll handler
and handle exclusively discrete events.
In addition, once high-resolution scroll events land in Mutter [1], a
mouse will be able generate non emulated smooth scroll events that
should be ignored in favour of the discrete scroll events.
Otherwise, a single mouse wheel click will scroll through multiple
workspaces at once.

The keyboard is placed outside of the screen when shown and then slides
in via a transition that changes the translate-y property. This
translation does not affect the allocation of the Keyboard actor and as
such does not trigger any of the signals LayoutManager is connected to
to update the input region. This means the input region remains at the
original position of the actor outside of the screen and as a result on
X11 clicks will go through to the underlying window.
There was a workaround for this by queuing a relayout at the end of the
transition, but this stopped working due to optimizations avoiding
unnecessary allocation changes.
This updates that workaround to toggle the visibility of the actor
instead, which is the other signal that LayoutManager reacts to. Once
ClutterActor provides better ways to react to transforms this can
hopefully be removed entirely.

GJS added a console module that extensions may start using. To ensure that
extensions using console.log() and similar functions don't show up as
'Gjs-Console' in users' system logs, we should call setConsoleLogdomain()

This GJS API addition is only accessible using ECMAScript Modules (ESM),

Quoting the documentation:
In libsoup 2.44 and later, you can set the session's “proxy-resolver”

get the same effect. Note that for "plain" SoupSessions (ie, not
SoupSessionAsync or SoupSessionSync), this is done for you automatically.
libsoup 2.44 was released in 2013, so we can safely assume that Soup is
new enough to handle this for us.

There's a subtle difference between the top bar menu and the app

The former includes skip-taskbar windows, the latter doesn't. It

that aren't shown in the overview, but skip-taskbar windows are

App windows are ordered by recency, so a focus change (correctly)
triggers the ::window-changed signal. If we rebuild the section
immediately in response, the activating item will be destroyed
before the menu's ::activate handler, with the result that the

the ::activate signal first.

There was a potential issue when suspend was inhibited and immediately
uninhibited again before the creation of the inhibitor has finished.
Then the new inhibitor would be kept active.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1927>
ScreenShield::_syncInhibitor() was closing (and recreating) the
inhibitor everytime it was called, even if no change was needed.
This gets called in various places, including on property changes in
the login1 dbus object. These happen by the time logind already started
suspending at which point new inhibitors can no longer be created. It is
only waiting for existing inhibitors to be closed, so closing the
inhibitor without a new inhibitor will cause the suspending to proceed
immediately if no other inhibitors are present. This can also happen
before the lock screen is shown, which will then complete after resume.
Fix this by keeping track of the expected inhibition state and only
create or close inhibitors if there was a change to that.

We have initTranslations() for binding an extension's
gettext domain, but nothing to help with using gettext
from an extension.
Such help would be useful though, as an extension that
calls textdomain() like a normal application would
inadvertently changes the default domain for the whole
gnome-shell process.
Instead, extensions have to use domain-specific versions
of the gettext functions:
```js
const Gettext = imports.gettext.domain('my-extension');
const _ = Gettext.gettext;
```
Make this a bit easier by adding those functions directly
to the extensions object when initTranslations() is called,
then expose helper functions for calling them.

On startup desktop-icons-ng Wayland windows have skip-taskbar==FALSE so
initially pass `_isOverviewWindow` and they get added to the overview,
which is confusing to users. However almost immediately after that they
get `meta_wayland_client_hide_from_window_list` and are removed from
future overviews. So now we respond to `notify::skip-taskbar` immediately
