In recent Fedora 29, connecting to wifi access points from the
user menu (top-right menu) does not work. Clicking the 'Connect'
button just animates it but does nothing else. The logs show an
error "JS ERROR: Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument
'specific_object' but got type 'undefined'".
Looking into this, it seems the problem is these uses of the
`path` property of an NMAccessPoint. NMAccessPoint inherits
from NMObject, and NMObject *does* have a path property:
https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/NMObject.html#NMObject--path
so at first glance this seems fine. But I poked around a bit
using libnm via Python (which goes via introspection, just like
this JS code does), and found that indeed AccessPoint objects
don't seem to have a `path` property there either.
Looking at the libnm code, this actually makes sense, because
the property is marked "(skip)":
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/libnm/nm-object.c#L1291
and the introspection docs suggest that means it should be left
out of introspected output:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations#Symbol_visibility
I'm a bit concerned that this was only found recently - whereas
the change to use `.path` in gnome-shell dates from October 2017
(d71af5e5) and the property has been marked (skip) in NM since
at least 2016 - but this all seems to add up. The obvious fix is
to replace use of `.path` with `.get_path()`, which returns the
path and is *not* marked (skip) and so *is* available via
introspection. I tested that this works in Python and also did
a test build of gnome-shell with this change and installed it on
an affected system, it does seem to fix the bug.

Commit a76b28bd moved the dbus-interfaces to the
dbus-interfaces directory without changing the
path for docs build as well, resulting in a fail
of the build when building with gtk_doc=true.
So change the path in the build accordingly to
ensure that the build does not fail when building
with gtk_doc=true.

gjs's D-Bus convenience explicitly expects a string representation
of an interface, but the new convenience method to load an XML
description from a resource introduced in commit f42d9df3e0 only
returns a string when using gjs from the GNOME 3.30 release. We
have so far managed to keep compatibility with the previous stable
gjs release, so fix up the fallback code to cast to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/578
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/537
We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into
separate files. That's a significant increase from the interfaces for which
we install documentation, so it makes sense to use a dedicated subdir.

In GNOME-3.24, pressing Super+P or a similar function key would cause
a switch to the next available monitor configuration.
However, in GNOME-3.26, this was reimplemented in mutter and gnome-shell
and the behaviour is now different: pressing Super+P and releasing will
cause no change in montor configuration[1]. In this new design you have
to press Super+P and keep holding Super in order to keep the switcher
open, then press P again (or use the arrow keys or mouse) to
select the next one in the list.
This is incompatible with many Asus products such as Asus X530UN, where
pressing the presentation mode media key (Fn+F8) actually generates
the following keypress events from the keyboard controller:
Fn pressed: nothing
F8 pressed: nothing
F8 released: Super press, p press, p release, Super release (quick burst)
Fn released: nothing
With this firmware behaviour it's not possible to hold the keys and have
the dialog come up so that you can select another new mode.
To solve this, when the switcher is opened, select the next available
display config by default, which is more similar to the pre-GNOME-3.26
behaviour. Now pressing Fn+F8 on this laptop will result in the display
mode switch taking place.
[1]: The mentioned desired behaviour will at least happen after
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/281 has been fixed
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/208
Since we always keep the active workspace until the user switches
to a different one, we may end up with two empty workspaces at
the end. It's not obvious to users why this happens, and there's
indeed no good reason for the behavior - just remove the trailing
workspace in that case.

There's no relation between a window being hidden from overview/taskbars
and a window not being closable - currently we effectively disable the
fallback quit action for any application with open transients, which
simply doesn't make sense.
Instead, only exclude windows for which the close action has been
explicitly disabled.

Meta.ScreenDirection no longer exists. This fixes window menus on
multi-monitor systems.

`NMConnectionDevice._sync()` is responsible for setting up the active
connection that we'll end up displaying. It expects the active
connection to already be in a map `_connectionItems`. If it isn't in
there, we get a null dereference and the indicator can get into a weird
state where it doesn't display devices / connections properly.
Let's change this expectation. If there is an active connection,
`_deviceAdded()` will eventually get to it and call `_sync()` to set up
the active connection state. We make `_sync()` tolerate there being no
active connection when it's called.

We must remove the GFile reference from the representing object when an
extension has been unloaded as this won't be used anymore later (e.g. as cached
ref).
Throw an error using an informative message in case a mode uses a stylesheet
that can't be loaded, instead of crashing later because the theming can't be
properly computed, and thus the minimum size of the actors.
We currently assign the stylesheet to an extension whenever the file exists,
regardless of whether it actually loaded successfully or not.
And thus we load an extension that ships a stylesheet even if that file can't
be used.
There is no point in trying to load an extension if its stylesheet wasn't
loaded in the first place, so make sure this happens only on success.

Ensure that the search provider operations (just getResultMetas requests
in the current implementation) in progress are properly cancelled when we
clear the UI, otherwise returned results might still be added when not
needed.
This is triggered for each provider by the SearchResults reset.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/205
Currently when the overview is hidden, any pending search is kept alive,
not only at remote search provider level (as per issue #183), but even
the shell providers proxies continue to get and process data. This happens
even if this is not needed anymore, while the UI reset is performed only
next time that the overview is shown (causing some more computation
presentation time).
In order to stop this to happen, when the overview is hidden, we have to
unset the search entry to an empty value as this would make SearchResults
to have empty terms list and that would make the proxies cancellable to
be triggered (without causing any further search to start).

If the volume is removed before AUTORUN_EXPIRE_TIMEOUT_SECS seconds, we can stop
the timeout earlier as there's nothing to unset, while the volume instance
won't be valid anymore.

The _sync function for Message only updates the close button visibility,
so we can safely stop doing that if the close button get get destroyed earlier
(as it happens when clicking on it).

We need to avoid that we use the _dragActor instance after that it has
been destroyed or we'll get errors. We now set it to null when this
happens, protecting any access to that.
Add a DragState enum-like object to keep track of the state
instead of using booleans.
Remove duplicated handler on 'destroy' and just use a generic one.

The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code had bad typos in it, though: it reuses the `i`
index variable in its inner loop, where it should be using
the `j` index variable.
This commit corrects the i/j confusion.
The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code has a bad typo in it, though: it confuses `objectPaths`
(the list of all object paths) and `objectPath` (the object
currently being processed this iteration of the loop).
That leads to a failure to synthesize the interface removal
events, and spew in the log.
This commit corrects the objectPath/objectPaths confusion.
Previously mutter listened to Xsettings (via GTK) to get notified
whether the shell showed the app menu. After X11 support was changed in
the direction of being less central, listening to this particular
Xsettings were removed with the intention of having the Shell tell
mutter directly whether it was showing the menu or not.
This commit makes that happen. It still travels through Xsettings (still
via Gtk), as the shell still gets that state from Xsettings, but fixing
this is out of scope for this particular fix.
