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.

When we switch into an invalid input source we hide the panel
indicator and return early but we were not hiding the previously
active source label and its menu item dot and thus when switching
again to a third input source we would end up showing 2 overlapping
labels in the panel and the menu would have 2 entries with a dot.

It's possible in some corner cases for the status of the topwindow
to change and make it not fullscreen without ::restacked being
changed. One way that it could happen with the old code was if the
layer of the top window changed from NORMAL to FULLSCREEN.
Change the logic not to look at the layer, which is a function of
Mutter's *intended* stacking, rather than the *actual* stacking,
which is what ::restacked gives you. Instead, look at the top
portion of the stack, down to the first non-override-redirect
window, and see if their are any monitor-sized windows there.
Connect to changes on the top portion of the stack, so we know
if conditions change.

We always add external DOCK windows to the ctrl-alt-tab switcher,
e.g. separate dock applications or nautilus' desktop windows.
Since commit 1f46a0dc26, all items in the switcher are expected
to set a proxy parameter, but the aforementioned code was not
updated accordingly.

* Prompters have state, and cancelling an already prompter will
cause prompts that are in progress to fail.
* In addition allow replacement of our shell prompter for debugging
purposes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695485
notify::* doesn't guarantee that the value has changed, only that it
may have been. We need to ensure that we track the old value to make sure
we don't do things like overwrite timeouts if they already exist.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695659
Now that the tray is modal, the summary is tied to the tray,
and we don't need to have separate states for the tray and
summary. This also removes the nearly invisible opacity tween
on the summary items when opening the message tray.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695659
The only way that locking happens is with when the summary box
pointer is active. As it can only happen if the summary state
is active, it's impossible for a notification to be expired,
or the summary to be hidden while it's showing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695659
It makes more sense to use the monitor the tray is on, rather than the
primary monitor. This also matches us with whether we can open the tray
from a barrier/dwell or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695659
We may release the focus grab at any time, so it's not guaranteed
we'll be in event processing. In particular, hovering over and out
of a notification will cause this to happen, as the notification
is hidden on a timeout.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695659
For the same reasons that we disable the tray barrier, we should
disable hot corners as well -- when users have a full-screen game
open, we shouldn't allow overview activation by the hotcorner.

gnome-panel is going away in 3.8, so we can't rely on it to provide our

Launching the run dialog to open the looking glass or something

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 resync the stacking order of the two key frames
every iteration of the animation. This is costly and unnecessary.
This commit ensures they're stacked properly up front and doesn't
touch them after that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694993
Rather than expose a dizzying array of methods related to managing
state that require infecting every user of the overview methods, try
to do the sensible and smart thing internally. Now, the overview
itself tracks when XDND drags start, and simply calling show, hide or
toggle while an XDnD drag is in effect will show the overview, and
will only take the grab until after the XDND drag ends.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663661
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
For the HotCorner, we want to have different logic for tossing out
specific events based on the grabbed state, etc. so make us have
to pass in an event filter callback.
For the hot corner case, we want to have the pressure apply both in
and outside of the overview, so we need to move this to the user. At
the same time, use keybinding mode math that's more like what's used
in filterKeybinding.
While it may seem like an abuse of the KeyBindingMode API, it may
become more reasonable if one thinks of the pressure barrier as a
binding of sorts, just applied to the mouse. If a ButtonBinding API
was added to mutter, I think we'd use the existing KeyBindingMode
infastructure there as well.
Ensure that the pointer leaves the barrier before we trigger again.
For the message tray case, this doesn't matter much, as the trigger
won't have any effect after the grab is taken, but in the overview
HotCorner case, this ensures that we don't trigger the overview
transition many times simply by holding pressure against the hot
corner, which is easy to do accidentally.
Instead of sometimes having an event source and sometimes not, use
the empty event source when the session mode says the calendar is
disabled. This way, the code can assume an event source object and
avoid checks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641383
Check if the event source is currently doing an async call, and prevent
UI updates in that case. This avoids a flash of "No updates" when switching
months.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641383
SwitcherPopup relies on being able to pushModal(), setting the stage
input mode to FULLSCREEN, and then doing regular event processing on
the actor it adds to uiGroup. But MessageTray uses GrabHelper which
sets up a 'captured-event' handler on the stage and thus gets all
events itself.
This, of course, breaks the switcher if it's brought up in the message
tray so, for now, we'll just prevent it from being used there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693907
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

Curently it is possible to copy the content of password entries,

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695104
We always leave the workspace switcher zoomed out when we can assume
that the user is actually making use of workspaces. For the default
dynamic workspace behavior, we make this assumption when more than
two workspaces are in use (e.g. at least two workspaces contain windows
plus an empty one at the end). However this test does not make sense
when using static workspaces - in that case, not using workspaces
would be indicated by a workspace number of 1 (in which case the
entire switcher is hidden completely), so add a check for dynamic
workspaces to the condition.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695126
Currently both the app switcher and the thumbnail list divide items
first into two groups (based on whether the item is located on the
current workspace or not), and then sort each group individually
by MRU.
The resulting behavior is often confusing, e.g. when using alt-tab
a second time does not switch back to the original window when the first
invocation involved a workspace switch and the workspace contains
windows of more than one application.
Instead, make the behavior more predictable by sorting both lists
strictly by MRU.

Shell modal dialogs can take their action on a certain key's
key-release-event. For example on <enter> the affirmative action is
usually run.
Make sure that the key was also pressed on the dialog and we're not

the dialog was displayed.

It is possible that a session survives after closing, if any processes

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
Previously, the overview BoxLayout was sized and positioned explicitly
using the primary monitor coordinates, as its parent was at 0,0 and
with a fixed layout manager. Now we use a bin layout, so we need to
position and size the stack actor, and set the overview boxlayout to
expand.
Take also the occasion to use a MonitorConstraint instead of handling
position and size manually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694969
We used to clip the overview group to prevent the dash from sliding into
neighbor monitors, but now it moved to the groupStack, so we must move

This filters out resident and transient notifications in the normal

We generally want view content centered, in particular where the
view itself is symmetrical. So move the dash to a separate layer
and use a placeholder to account for its size when showing the

to center the content.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694261
Commit 43ed66cf26 changed the toplevel overview actor, so it
makes sense to change the show/hide transitions to use that instead
of the existing group, to avoid elements layered on top of the
group being excluded from the transitions.
Windows can sometimes be focused, or appear to be focused, without being
at the exact top of the stack, for example in the case of override-redirect
windows, or with attached modal dialogs. In that case, we should not
try to minimize them (as it creates a loop that makes it impossible to restore
the window)

Mutter now makes session registration an explicit required

"description" is documented as a valid field for search result metas,
and ListSearchResults implements it, so pass it down to be used.
Also, don't wrap the description in quotes, so that the search provider
can decide if it is an excerpt from the searched text or something else.
And to that extent, set use_markup to true, so that terms can be
highlighted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694906
This can happen if you open two or three terminal windows, and then
open the overview -- they're not centered. The issue is that because
of the WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE clamping, the scale that is being
laid out is different from the scale that the layout was calculated
for.
Implement and document a hack-ish solution which simply keeps the
scale for the layout as originally calculated, but centers the
windows inside the cell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Multiplication is linear, so we can split this out as a separate

gnome-shell-extension-prefs supports opening a specific extension's

gnome-settings-daemon will be changed to override the XSetting in

Previously, we would create one StBin per monitor, but each was positioned
at 0,0 and sized as the screen, so they would overlap and draw the box shadows
on top of the other backgrounds.
Instead, we need to size appropriately the bin, and then we need to position
the actual MetaBacgroundActor at 0,0, so add a flag to BackgroundManager
for this.
Also, get rid of MetaBackgroundGroup, they do nothing because the screenshield
is not a descendant of the MetaWindowGroup and because the widget in between
blocks the propagation of the visible region. At the same time, use a
widget, not a bin, because StBin requires you to set .child, not call add_child().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694394
We recently started to trim leading and trailing whitespace from
the search string, and not to trigger a search when the resulting
string was empty. However we still allow whitespace to trigger
type-ahead-find, so that the key focus is moved briefly to the

flickering of the entry.
Fix this by excluding whitespace from triggering type-ahead-find.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694475
xdndHandler used to wait for the stage to show up before calling
global.init_xdnd() . Since commit 65303d027a xdndHandler is initalized
later so the stage might be already visible at this point causing the
show signal never to be emitted and thus global.init_xdnd will never
be called.
Fix that by checking by calling global.init_xdnd without waiting for
the stage's show signal to be emitted, as the stage is guaranted to be
visible at this point.
The key was removed from gsettings-desktop-schemas, GNOME should

We sometimes map the stage before we've loaded a background on it

It is useful at times to perform several actions that would usually
close the overview (for instance launching an application) at once.
Currently we allow this by dragging items to a workspace rather than
just clicking it, but it's an odd metaphor with its own set of
problems.
Introduce an alternative approach (inspired by file selection in
file managers) by keeping the overview open if a Control key is
held down.

When the user clicks on "View Source" or "Web Page" in the "Extensions" tab of

undefined". This patch fixes that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693814
animateIn and animateOut should not reset the scale, otherwise
extra animate calls (which are possible because the diff algorithm
in _redisplay is not optimal) cause unneeded movement.
Therefore, create new items hidden, and have the creator call
animateIn or set the scale/opacity properties manually.
adjustIconSize must be changed to always set the icon size temporarily,
otherwise the first time it computes the icon size with 0 scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690643
The DashActor will known to allocate the show apps button only if the
icon size is (temporarily) too big for the containing box, therefore
it should request just that as the minimum size.
This solves a glitch that happened when removing a favorite and at the
same time causing the dash to expand.

Using the scroll wheel in the window picker should switch workspaces.
As the picker doesn't have a visible boundary though, it makes sense
to accept scroll-event for the entire overview area. Rather than
making the overview's main actor public, expose scroll-events via
a signal.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686639
Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts
with window zooming in the picker.

switching.

Opening and closing a modal dialog is not instant. There
is a transition animation involved. When the dialog is
finished opening, it currently emits the "opened" signal.
When it's finished closing, however, it doesn't emit a

know when the dialog finishes closing.
This commit adds the "closed" signal.

Modal dialogs take an optional timestamp in their close method.
If the timestamp is not passed in, then global.get_current_time()

When a swipe scroll completes, we scroll the active workspace into

Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the

leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.

Right now, when a user item is clicked we remove all other users from

Ultimately, we're going to want to crossfade from the fully populated

avatar in two different positions we can't simply move it.
This commit leaves the user item for the user list, and instead shows
a UserWidget actor during user verification, in the same way the

According to the design mockups, the app picker should follow the

folders, so store the setting in GSettings so that it can be
shared with those applications.

At the moment when loading the applications, each app is inserted
at its correct (alphabetical) position. Avoid this overhead by
loading all apps first, then sort them once and fill the grid with
the sorted actors.

AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app
launchers. Folders will pop up in the existing view, so add an
additional stack widget into the hierarchy which popups will use
as parent.

We are going to introduce app folders, which will also present an
alphabetical list of applications, but use a different UI. In
preparation for that, split out the item logic into an abstract
base class.

With categories removed, the separation between AllAppDisplay and
ViewByCategories no longer makes sense. Also use this opportunity
to rename the outdated AllAppDisplay to AppDisplay; it will
eventually be used to manage different views.
