Right now, the network menu will overflow the screen if More...
is selected with many access points. As a short-term workaround
for this, add a scrollbar for submenus of panel dropdown menus
if they would cause the toplevel menu to overflow the screen.
- Put the actors in a PopupSubMenu in a StScrollView so we get
a scrollbar if the allocated space is smaller than the height
of the menu. Expand animation is turned off in the scrolled case
to avoid weirdness.
- When we pop up a panel menu, set a max-height style property
on the panel menu to limit it to the height of the screen.
- Hack event handling while the scrollbar is dragged to make
the scrollbar work properly.

Some connection types (like wimax) are not supported by the menu, and

It was always reporting true, even if disconnected. At the same time,
add a signal that is emitted when state changes and update the UI
accordingly.
In the future (with another libnm-glib API break) we should use the
NMVPNConnection object to track the connection state, so that we can
show if we're connecting or we need authentication.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646380
NMDevice._findConnection expects an uuid as parameter, but
checkConnection was passing a NMConnection object. This caused

When a source has an associated tray icon, we would forward all clicks

This ensures that we don't show a small black blob fading away
when the user clicks on the notification and it is removed.
Set HIDING state right away in _hideSummaryBoxPointer() so that

is unlocked, so that we are not dependent on escapeTray() being
triggered by 'done-displaying-content' signal.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645697
Use Meta.later_add() with BEFORE_REDRAW rather than Mainloop.idle_add()
to add the banner body so that the notification body is reliably added
after the first frame is drawn. This is important for notifications that
are expanded right away, such as the summary notifications that
were not shown as banners because the user was in the Busy mode or was
interacting with the summary. Otherwise, these notifications were sometimes
shown with an ellipsized banner and were only getting full content when
they were done animating.
Only add expanded content and signal the change once. Previously, we
used to signal the change numerous times and processing this signal was
holding up processing other things, such as the user moving the mouse
away from the notification so that the notification collapses.

Since the hotcorner is a reactive actor, and it is over the Activities
button, hovering on it results in a leave-event for the button.
This is not noticeable when opening the overview, as the button is

near the hot corner, as the button is kept in normal state, despite
the mouse being over it.

Instead of setting the x/y position of the box pointer, which results
in a long change of workarounds for limitations of the Clutter
layout system, set the anchor point instead, which takes the

The position is computed as a combination of the position computed
from the allocation and the box pointer's size, and an offset that
we tween when animating showing and hiding the box pointer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645744
Using ClutterActor.get_transformed_size() can produce bugs if we
happen to position the box pointer when the source actor has a

As a stop-gap measure until we have a native input method tray icon,

Because of the GtkSizeGroup-like trickiness we're doing with
PopupMenuItems, we need to force Clutter to discard its cached size

If the BoxPointer changes size (eg, when opening the "More" section of
the network menu), reposition it to make sure it's still aligned
correctly and still completely on-screen.
This is not the right fix for this problem (and causes the menu to be

involve a ClutterConstraint, but that would be more invasive, and can
happen post-3.0.0.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645647
The change to make Notification an StButton (06d2c0af, bug 642978)
broke links, because the link actor would ignore the

button-release-event. Fix that by accepting and discarding the
button-press-event.

The chat-history-fill-in code had logic to avoid appending two
messages when a message appeared in both the log and the pending
messages. But it wasn't working because of an incorrect object field
name.
Additionally, the code was previously keeping the copy of the message
from the log, and suppressing the copy from pending. But that meant
that once the previous bug was fixed, it would think it had only shown
old messages, and so it would create a source but not notify it. So
fix it to suppress the log message and show the pending message.

For wired devices (actually, ethernet devices), hide the connection
list when there is only one connection (either automatic or stored).
The device can be operated with the associated switch.
Since device state Unavailable is generic and has substates, instead
of using an hack for carrier, introduce some code that checks both
for carrier and firmware-missing when in that device state, and updates
the UI accordingly.
If a notification was updated while one of its widgets was focused,
it would lose the grab when that widget was destroyed. Fix that by
moving the focus to a safe place before destroying the old widgets.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643687
We want to minimize focus stealing from the user. If a non-urgent notification

we hide the tray and show the urgent notification.

We want to allow the user to scroll through all notifications from

While we have menu for an app icon open, we want to show the prelight

It can be useful to avoid sending enter/leave events to the source actor

If you have XFixes 5 (and corresponding xserver support) then we
add barriers on the panel and in the message tray corner so that
its easy to reach the corners even when there are monitors to the
sides of the primary monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622655
If the user clicks a trayicon in the overview, drop out of the
overview before passing the click on to the icon. (We have to actually
wait for the overview animation to complete, in case the icon wants to
get a pointer grab, which it would not be able to do with the overview
active.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641853
If the pointer moves on or off the stage while another process has a
grab, we will lose track of it. One example of this is that if you use
a popup menu from a message tray trayicon, the tray will stay up after
the menu goes away, because the shell never saw the pointer leave it.
Add a new method shell_global_sync_pointer() that causes clutter to
recheck what actor is under the pointer and generate leave/enter
events if appropriate.
Of course, we can't actually tell for sure when another process has a
grab, so we need a heuristic of when to call this. Currently we call
it from Chrome._windowsRestacked(), which is not really the right
thing at all, but does fix the menu-from-trayicon case...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630842
If the user clicks on the title of a trayicon's SummaryItem, forward
that click to the trayicon. Also adjust
gnome_shell_plugin_xevent_filter() so that if the trayicon takes a
grab as a result of this, we don't hide the message tray.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630842
If you run a command from Alt+F2 that tries to get a server grab (eg,
xmag), it will fail if it starts up before the run dialog is finished
hiding.
Additionally, the run dialog currently stays focused while it is
fading out, potentially stealing keystrokes (or causing the user to
accidentally launch two copies of a program).
Change ModalDialog.close() to call popModal() immediately
Add a ModalDialog.popModal method, and call that before running the
RunDialog command. If the command succeeds, close the dialog as
before. If it fails, call ModalDialog.pushModal() to put things back
to normal before displaying the error.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644857
When right-clicking on an AppWellIcon, the icon will become focused,
which (presumably via style-changed) invalidates its current
allocation, causing "icon.y" to return 0 until it has been
reallocated, messing up our idea of where in the AppDisplay the icon
is. Work around this by calling get_allocation_box() instead.

If there is a monitor to the right it is very easy to overshot the

Specify x-fill and y-fill true for the bin that contains the status
icon so the status icon will always be sized to our specified icon
size (24x24). This prevents pathological behavior for legacy status
icons embedded in the tray where an initial allocation at 1x1 before
they had content would "stick", and the icon would permanently
end up 1x1.

When we were knocking off workspace height to fix the ratio problems, we

In commit 9bd22dc0, I introduced an API to load an arbitrary

out this function was broken because it created ShellApp instances
that were *different* from ones that were cached normally.
As far as I can tell, we didn't initially use it. Then later
Util.spawnDesktop was created which used this function.
Remove this broken function and all callers; if we're loading
.desktop files from *outside* the menu path, we can look at
readding.
This patch also kills off Util.spawnDesktop in favor of callers
talking to ShellAppSystem directly, now that the latter reports

If we're dragging a window around and we need to reposition the windows,

past some other window.

We currently show the workspace in the overview in a rectangle
with the same aspect ratio as the screen. Originally this was
probably done since it showed the desktop, but we don't do this
anymore, and the positioning of the windows in the overview is
strictly a grid, so its not in any way related to monitor geometry.
Additionally, in the multihead case the screen aspect ratio is
very different from the overview monitor geometry, so a lot of
space is lost.
So, instead we just fill the entire inner rectangle of the overview
with the workspace. However, the way the zoom into and out of the
workspace right now is by scaling the workspace so that it covers
the entire monitor. This cannot really work anymore when the workspace
is a different aspect ratio. Furthermore the coordinates of the
window clone actors are of two very different types in the "original
window" case and the "window in a slot case". One is screen relative,
the other is workspace relative. This makes it very hard to compute
the cost of window motion distance in computeWindowMotion.
In order to handle this we change the way workspace actor positioning
and scaling work. All workspace window clone actors are stored in
true screen coordingates, both the original window positions and the
in-a-slot ones. Global scaling of the workspace is never done, we
just reposition everything in both the initial zoom and when the
controls appear from the side.
There is one issue in the initial and final animations, which is that
the clip region we normally have for the workspacesView will limit the
animation of the clones to/from the original positions, so we disable
the clip region during these animations.

When closing a workspace due to the last window on that workspace
closing, switch to the overview and show the always empty workspace
rather then just going to the adjacent workspace.
