Currently the indicators are a BoxLayout inside a BinLayout in AllView.
BinLayout doesn't have any size constraint, so if the indicators request
a bigger size than AllView the entire overview is grown, causing the
overview to go crazy.
To avoid that, create an actor for the page indicators that request as
minimum size 0, and as a natural size, the sum of all indicators natural
sizes. Then we clip_to_allocation, so it doesn't grow more than the
parent.

If the application reports itself as single window (through
an explicit indication in the desktop file or some heuristics),
not show a "New window" item that doesn't actually open a new window.

The long press code has been refactored so it can be used on both pointer and
touch events, and the click gesture has been made to account for button=0.

Unlike for the main app view, where we only move the key focus once the
users starts navigating, the key focus is moved immediately when opening
a folder popup. This is unexpected, so make app folders consistent with
the main view.
As arrow keys will not work while the container itself has key focus, we
handle those explicitly by translating them to TAB_FORWARD and
TAB_BACKWARD respectively.

Commit 5d00c1a5ee moved app folder popups to GrabHelper - for some
reason, the line that ensures the current behavior of only considering
events inside the app picker to dismiss popups got lost ...
As clicks outside the app picker should still be handled normally
while clicks inside should dismiss the popup, we cannot make full
use of GrabHelper. However using it at least for focus handling
fixes some minor details we are getting wrong, for instance not
restoring the previous focus after dismissing a folder popup.
Currently, our logic for page panning isn't great. If the user starts a
pan upwards and hesitates over a new page, we'll go to the *next* page
on release, since the difference is greater, but the velocity wound down
to 0.
Instead of trying to treat it like page down or scrolls, simply do the
math to find the page where the user scrolled to.
This is unfortunately broken for fast swipes, since the user doesn't get
far enough into the new page to make a difference. I'm getting the
impression we'll need a gesture recognizer for this, though, however
crude. Simple hacks I tried, like a velocity multiplier, didn't work
properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
We often call goToPage like:
this.goToPage(this._currentPage - 1);
(or + 1). During panning, these are based on the velocity values
of the gesture action. If we're already on the first or last page
and the panning ends, it's possible to get goToPage that's either
-1 or greater than the last page.
During normal usage, this isn't a problem, since the Y values will
be correct, always. But when panning, the Y values stick to the
finger, and thus if we return early, we won't snap to the exact page,
making it seem like things get "stuck".
Fix this the simple way by clamping to the correctly-ranged values
of pageNumber

Folders use a 2x2 grid of the first 4 app icons as icon - if a folder
contains less apps, we currently skip the corresponding grid positions.
As a result, the overall size request may be smaller than the one for
other icons, making the folder icon look out of place.
Fix this by always using a full grid as folder icon, using dummy actors
as necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726322
With the switch to a table layout in commit f959cafb36, setting
alignments to place the individual icons at the outer edge of the grid
stopped working. Remove that code and add some explicit spacing instead.

Add more time to the fade in/out animation when switching
views so they don't switch abruptly and add a delay
between view switch animations to avoid morphing.

The current middle-click action of opening a new window on a new
workspace is a bit peculiar; it is also not overly hard to achieve
the same result by moving a new window to the desired workspace or
selecting a workspace before opening a new window. Just opening
a new window is also a more common action, so having a shortcut
available that doesn't require a modifier is a good idea as well;
change the middle-click behavior accordingly.

Having terminal launchers behave differently than any other launchers
is non-obvious and confusing. Remove the special-casing to restore
consistency, we will make the new window action more accessible
instead.
This reverts commit 68faba6bde, 4ed0f3e5f0
and 887a21afb9.

If the user mostly uses the All Apps view and uses it as his default view,
we shouldn't reload frequent data after a timeout. Simply do it when the
view is mapped.

get_categories() returns an unparsed string, not a list of categories.
We need to parse the list by splitting on ';' to deterine whether the
actual 'TerminalEmulator' category is in the list, rather than something
like 'X-GNOME-TerminalEmulator'. It's an edge case, but I need to split
the list properly for the new folders, so I might as well fix this.

Using the new list_actions() API in Gio, add entries for static
actions specified in .desktop files in the right-click app menus,
in the dash, app well and search.

Rather than GMenu / app-folder-categories. This removes our last use of
gnome-menus in the stock gnome-shell, which is exciting, but also means
that app folders in Software start working.
Ideally, we'd have a button to launch our Software app as well from the
overview.

Instead of having _compareItems, _getItemId, etc. on the view to
pull out info about items, use the AppIcon / FolderIcon items we
create as a place to track this additional info. We now require
that these items have a '.id' property for deduplication, and a
'.name' property to sort by.

One of the most frequent complaints about our launching behaviour is
how we handle terminals. Among all MDI applications, the terminal is
the one that is most likely to have lots of semi-independent windows
opened at the same time, and spawning new windows is much more common.
More so, if it does not support tabs.
Therefore, we special case terminal launchers to always create a new
window. It is an application that most non-technical users will not
use, so chances of them being confused by any special behaviour is
expected to be low.

Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do
means that we may get properties that should be based on all windows,
like the last time the application was used, wrong.
Just track all windows and filter out non-interesting windows manually
in the one place we actually care about the difference.

Rather than scanning all apps for searching, use Ryan's new desktop
file index and the glib support APIs for app searching instead of our
own system.

We want to move away from gnome-menus eventually, so the simple
utility method isn't really worth keeping around. Reimplement it
in the one place that uses it.
