Right now, we are hard-depending on the presence of Evolution by
using its settings schemas. This is likely to be unpopular, and
also causes instability if someone happens not to have Evolution
installed, so install a schema that has the same data path as
the Evolution schema, but a different name and install that
for the keys we need.
To avoid a string-freeze break, we rely on the translations in
Evolution - if Evolution isn't installed, the key descriptions
will be untranslated in dconf-editor.

The keybinding to toggle the screen recorder was implemented as a
signal on MetaScreen, as keybindings could only be defined in mutter
core. As this is no longer the case, we can move the binding into the
shell where it belongs.

With the application menu now being more than a stub, it has
become a much more interesting target, so add a keyboard shortcut
to open it directly.
This should also ease some of the pain for focus-follows-mouse users.

If the autorestart hint is set, the process is forcefully killed and
restarted everytime it disconnects from XSMP, which break replacing the wm
and breaks alt-f2 r. If instead the hint is not set, the process
is monitored via SIGCHLD and only restarted when it dies by a signal.

Commit a277f8e0e1 prevents icons from being
scaled when the global desktop resolution changes which is wrong since
symbolic icons are supposed to be treated like text.
Instead of specifying their size in pixels, go back to em but with a value
adjusted to the new font size that actually yields unscaled symbolic icons for
the default resolution.

Since scaled icons generally look bad we shouldn't tie their size to the font
size. In particular a recent change in the panel's font size caused status
icons to be scaled and thus look fuzzy.

Setting a default text style helps to keep things consistent and
simplifies the theme css.
The view tabs and search box text size needs to be slightly bigger,
so that needs to be manually specified.

Add an asynchronous search provider for results from a DBus service
implementing the org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider interface; this
will allow applications to hook into the Shell's search without
implementing it in Shell itself or requiring an extension.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663125
We will allow applications to hook into shell's search by registering
a service which implements a well-known DBus interface.
"search-providers" is a reasonable directory name for applications to
drop their registration files, but it conflicts with "search_providers"
used by open search providers - rename the latter to avoid confusion.

IconGrid items used to be square, so a single size value made
perfect sense. However, as contact search uses rectangular items,
using a single size is wrong - the allocated height ends up twice
the size of the visible height, which is particularly visible if
another provider displays results below contact results.

A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.

Instead of adding every rendered frame into the recording, drop frames
and only buffer and record enough frames to match the target framerate.
Increase the default frame rate from 15 to 30, since now that we're
actually enforcing framerate, it's noticeable that 15fps is not smooth.

The default pipeline was fairly aggressive about quality, and could
be too expensive for some computers. Decrease the quality setting for
the vp8 codec from 10 to 8, and increase the speed setting from 2 to 6.
(Basically, quality affects the visual fidelity of the end result, while
speed affects how much CPU the encoder uses to get a high compression
ratio at that quality level.)
Remove videorate from the pipeline, since the GStreamer VP8 encoder can
handle variable-framerate streams. This means that we won't spend CPU
encoding duplicate frames added by videorate.

Mutter/Metacity settings overridden by the shell have not been
migrated when moving to GSettings, but there's no good reason not
to migrate those preferences as well.

Implement the background-size CSS property, specified by the CSS
Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3, including the keywords
"contain", "cover", and fixed-size backgrounds.

Instead of using an St.Tooltip to show the app's name under the icon,
manually position a new St.Label ourselves. Make sure to keep the label
hidden when right-clicking so it doesn't get in the way of the popup menu.
Only one tooltip/label will be displayed at a time.
