The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.
Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.

The code to draw the root background has now been moved into Mutter,
with added smarts to not draw obscured portions. Remove the old
version of the code and clone the Mutter background actor to draw
the background in the overview.

MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.

Gjs changed to separate the "basic" API from "embedder" API. Unfortunately
due to our use of the importer API and a few other bits, we need to use
the "module" one. In the future I plan to extend the core API to
support this use case.
Add volume control indicator which uses API from gnome-volume-control
to interact with PulseAudio and shows both input and output volumes.
Also adds a small wrapper around libcanberra in ShellGlobal, used by the
volume indicator to provide auditive feedback.

* Use --warn-all, --warn-error
* Fix various broken gtk-doc
* Drop unused shell_get_event_related
* For header defines, we currently require them to end in _H to be skipped
* Drop the no-longer-necessary fix-meta-rectangle.py hack
* Move to the convention of using -private.h for headers that are,
well, private.
* Add shell-wm-private.h
Add SHELL_STAGE_INPUT_MODE_FOCUSED, to move the keyboard focus to the
shell without grabbing the keyboard or mouse, and make
stage_input_mode into a GObject property so that (among other things),
callers can tell when MODE_FOCUSED reverts back to MODE_NORMAL.

The conversion of GdkRectangle to a typedef for cairo_rectangle_int_t
in GTK+-3 makes it no longer a proper boxed type (it's still registered
boxed, but gobject-introspection doesn't know that.) So, switch to using
MetaRectangle, which is now registered as a boxed type by Mutter.

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

Currently we only relayout when the screen size changes, this gets
the cases where a monitor gets added/removed but not when the primary
monitor changes.
We need to relayout on all monitor layout changes.
Remove ShellGlobal::screen-size-changed signal as it is no longer used, Gdk is
used to track changes now.
A ShellGlobal::gdk-screen property is added for this purpose.

Add a helper function to write a string as UTF-8 to a GOutputStream.
The signature of GOutputStream:
gboolean g_output_stream_write_all (GOutputStream *stream,
const void *buffer,
gsize count,
gsize *bytes_written,
GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error);
Can't currently be handled by GJS.

To support scheduling performance-measurement scripts that want to run
a number of actions in series, add shell_global_run_at_leisure() to run
a callback when all work is finished.
The initial implementation of this is not that accurate: we track
business in Tweener.js via new shell_global_begin_work(),
shell_global_end_work() functions, and we also handle the case
where the main loop is continually busy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().

Starting with gtk-2.20.0 there is a gdk_screen_get_primary_monitor,
which supports querying the primary monitor from xrandr.
But due to a sorting bug and lack of heuristics in the fallback path,
it isn't really useable.
Those bugs are fixed in gtk-2.20.1, so use it when building with
gtk-2.20.1+.

Adds the ability to create one or more zoom regions that show magnified or
enhanced views of the desktop. The magnifier provides options for:
* magnification factor,
* four mouse tracking modes common to screen magnifiers,
* positioning the magnified view in one of four screen location, or full screen,
* crosshairs to accentuate the position of the mouse,
* user preferences persistence via GConf (schemas in
.../data/gnome-shell.schemas).
* a DBus API to allow other processes to drive the magnifier as a service.

When creating the directory to store user data, XDG_DATA_HOME is
not guaranteed to exist. Also, the standard mandates permissions
of 0700 for the directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617555
While the extension system already uses an XDG location (XDG_CONFIG_HOME),
other components use the deprecated $HOME/.gnome2 directory.
Replace both with XDG_DATA_HOME - the existing data (app usage stats,
looking glass history and extensions) is not migrated to the new location.

We can't use gdk_display_get_pointer/gdk_window_get_pointer from gjs
when XKB is active. We already had a wrapper that did the
get-modifier-state part of that, but some places also need the
get-pointer-location part of it. So update our wrapper to return both,
and update js code to use it.

Currently shell_global_get_primary_monitor just returns the first screen,
in the list as primary.
This is not always correct as the first screen reported by mutter isn't always,
the first one listed by RANDR.
Use gdk_screen_* to query the monitor information and add a heuristic to prefer
LVDS displays (similar like in done for gnome-panel) to prefer the laptop's
internal screen over external displays.

When the window's top-left corner is the same as the monitor's top-left
corner the check in shell_global_get_focus_monitor fails to detect that.
Use <= rather than < to fix that.

Fixes drawing of the overview in the case where there is no root pixmap
(eg, --xephyr mode).
(And the workaround for not drawing an unintialized ClutterTexture can
be removed now, since the texture will always have been initialized.)

Added signal 'screen-size-changed' to ShellGlobal.
Connect to this signal in main.js and run the _relayout() method.
If Overview or calendar are visible when this signal emit, they will be hiding.

Replace ngettext with dngettext and set the correct translation
domain, so gnome-shell's domain is searched for translations
rather than mutter's.

Consumer documentation will live at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions
In terms of implementation; basically we load extensions from the well-known
directories. Add a GConf key to disable extensions by uuid. There is a new
option --create-extension for the gnome-shell script which takes a bit of
interactive input, sets up some sample files, and launches gedit.
No extensions UI in this patch; that will come later.
