If a process does not have any "interesting" windows, then it can't be
considered a running app. (Previously we were calling
get_app_for_window() before ruling out non-interesting windows, which
ended up calling _shell_app_new_for_window(), which would add the
window to the ShellApp directly, bypassing the is_interesting check.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642221
When retrieving a ShellApp from the GHashTable of child processes,
we need to take an extra reference, that the GHashTable of windows
to apps will own.
Also add some documentation to avoid repeating this bug in the future.

Launch child processes more directly; we retrieve the PID, and
use it to keep track of the .desktop file we launched.
Now, when we get a window, since the X window has a PID, we
have a pretty strong association.
.desktop file <-> PID <-> window
And can thus map window back to .desktop file.

Add a "gicon" property so that a GIcon can be used instead of an
icon name, while still getting icon recoloring from the theme.
Also include a compatibility wrapper in libshell until GJS has
support for interface static methods.

StIconType will be used by a new StIcon class, so move it to the
header file of common enumerations. Including st-types.h which had
the St single-include check revealed that st-texture-cache.h didn't
have that check and several places were including that directly.
Fix that up.

1. move logic to shell-app.c
2. change state to RUNNING only after startup sequence complete
3. correct handle state for applications with several .desktop files
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623688
* 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
Windows are only added to an application if they are considered
"interesting". If we keep it that way, we cannot unconditionally
call _shell_app_remove_window() - applications without interesting
windows are not considered running, so the call crashes the shell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622236
First, we were passing an incorrect timestamp to
meta_display_focus_the_no_focus_window - fix that.
The invocation of set_focus_app to the started app there couldn't
really work, because (if the above call had worked) we'd get the
X reply *after* the started app.
What we need to untangle here is the distinction that's now made in
ShellApp between _STATE_STARTING and _STATE_RUNNING. A nice way to
start doing this is to rebase ShellWindowTracker to only be concerned
with app states. Concretely, the current "has windows implies
running" logic now lives just inside shell-app.c.
Rename the app-running-changed signal to be app-state-changed. This
will ultimately be useful so that inside the panel, we can track
the last started app.

Previously we were trying to match up remote windows with local
.desktop files, which is definitely wrong. This patch simply
falls back to the app-from-window case for this; better handling
would need design.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620855
This patch combines several high level changes which are conceptually
independent but in practice rather intertwined.
* Add a "state" property to ShellApp which reflects whether it's
stopped, starting, or started. This will allow us to later clean
up all the callers that are using ".get_windows().length > 0" as
a proxy for this property
* Replace shell_app_launch with shell_app_activate and shell_app_open_new_window
A lot of code was calling .launch, but it's signficantly clearer
if we call this ".open_new_window()", and later if we gain the ability
to call into an application's menu, we can implement this correctly rather
than trying to update all .launch callers.
* Because ShellApp now has a "starting" state, rebase panel.js on top of
this so that when we get a startup-notification sequence for an app
and transition it to starting, it becomes the focus app, and panel.js
cleanly just tracks the focus app, rather than bouncing between SN
sequences. This removes display of non-app startup sequences, which
I consider an acceptable action in light of the committed changes
to startup-notification and GTK+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614755
Ok, there admittedly wasn't a strong rationale for having it in a
later, and by performing this immediately we reduce race conditions
for our focus_app versus startup_notification handling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612833
Brute force merge these two by essentially replacing St.TextureCache
with a (renamed) Shell.TextureCache.
One function was added for convenience, namely "st_texture_cache_load_file_simple".
St.TextureCache had a function to load a texture from a filename, and it
returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this. This
function is better.

When starting oocalc or ooimpress from oowriter's menu get_app_for_window,
fails to recognize the newly started up as such, which result into the appMenu
still showing "Openoffice.org Writer" as app name.
Fix this by trying to window itself first before using the group for finding the app.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611288
In some situations we might need to look up an application from
a process identifier, such as the notification system where we
will determine application from the message sender.
For the purposes of determining which application is focused, don't
skip "uninteresting" windows. The old get_focused_window code
was used for usage tracking, but here we want reliable application
association.
Also convert a .text= to .set_text that was missed with the last
patch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599206
The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.
