For notifications in the message list, it is usually less relevant
when exactly it occurred, but how long ago. So rather than showing
the exact time and expecting the user to figuring out the timespan
themselves, change the format to something human readable.

Weather conditions - at least as far as online services are
concerned - don't usually change in a couple of minutes.
So when updating shortly after a previous update, assume
the current conditions are still valid and trigger an
update without showing a loading indication. This should
help a bit with not getting stuck permanently in loading
state when on a shitty network.

In preparation of integrating GNOME Weather, add a helper class that
retrieves weather information according to Weather's configuration
if the application is installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
When integrating with optional components like Clocks, it is not safe
to access their GSettings right after the application became visible
to the AppSystem:
Installation is usually not atomic, so the .desktop file may appear
before the settings schema, in which case Gio will abort due to an
"invalid" schema ID.
To address this, add a small helper class that wraps the settings
access in a safe way.

Mutter now provides versioned libraries and pkg-config files, meaning
an application using libmutter and friends need to depend on a specific
version of the API.

The following code is a syntax error in ES6:
let a = 'something';
let a = 'other thing';
Previously GJS would silently accept this code, but in the next release the
SpiderMonkey JS engine will be more ES6-compliant.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778425
Per ES6, a variable declared const should only be valid inside its lexical
scope. Previously, GJS would accept this code, but that will change in the
SpiderMonkey JS engine in the next release of GJS.

Ever since commit b8e29ae8c7
(I think), start up is littered with this message:
Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: could not get remote objects for service
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Smartcard path
since gnome-shell is now started before gnome-settings-daemon.
This commit addresses the problem by making the object manager code
not try to autostart its proxy, and instead wait for it to appear.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772589
And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the
relative paths resolve to different absolute ones. Until this bug
is fixed properly, we can work around this by expressing the current
extension path as the UUID relative to the parent directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772386
You can define a new importer object by importing a subdirectory in GJS.
This is undocumented, but it is likely to at least hold until the whole
thing moves to ES6 modules, after which we'll be able to do this purely
in JS with Reflect.Loader.
Since this was the only thing the ShellJS library did, we can remove it
altogether.
This allows us to discontinue use of the gjs-internals-1.0 embedder API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772386
Currently it's assumed only an extension can call this method. However
it can be useful if any part of the shell want to know if it was invoked
by an extension.

The underlying logind API does not only indicate whether suspend is
available, but also whether the user is eligible for executing the
operation without further authentication. This information can be
relevant, so pass it to the callback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725960
Logind recently got support for a hint property in Session Object to
inform if session is Locked or not. It is up to desktop environments
to keep this property up to date.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764773
According to systemd logind's documentation, the CanSuspend() method
"returns 'na' in case "the operation is not available because hardware,
kernel or drivers do not support it", while "'no' is returned if the
operation is available but the user is not allowed to execute it".
See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind
Thus, we need to return true here when the reply for the CanSuspend
method is neither 'no' nor 'na', or we would providing false positives
in cases where suspension is simply unsupported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748338
On locales that support it, time formats should follow the 12-hour/24-hour
preference, which implies that they should be updated when the setting
changes. So add another utility method which creates a label for a specific
time and keeps it in sync with the format setting.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
The world clock uses GLib.DateTime instead of the built-in Date type
because of the much superior timezone support, and therefore cannot
use the new formatTime() helper. To make this possible, modify the
method to support a parameter of either type.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
Displaying a time is more complex than it appears at first glance:
it should respect the user's choice regarding 12- our 24-hour format (but
only when supported by the locale) and follow the LC_TIME rather than the
LC_MESSAGES setting.
So rather than getting it more or less right in various places, it makes
sense to defer to a helper method which hopefully does the right thing. The
method added by this patch is based on _formatTimestamp in telepathyClient
with some minor tweaks:
- there's an additional params parameter which allows enforcing
a time-only format, even on dates other than the current one
- only a single desktop settings object is created and shared between
invocations

Input method preedit text needs to be disabled on password entries
for security and usability reasons.
IBus 1.5.7 provides the signal set-content-type so that panel UIs can
handle these special purpose input entries:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/6ca5ddb302c9
Unfortunately IBus versions older than 1.5.10 have a bug which causes
spurious set-content-type emissions when switching input focus that
temporarily lose purpose and hints defeating its intended semantics
and confusing users. We thus don't use it in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730628
Normally users switch xkb input sources and ibus input sources.
But currently the first input source only is running. It's also good
to preload all ibus engines in the logging session so that users switch
input sources quickly without the launching time of input sources.
The following is the ibus change:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/cff35929a9https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695428
Instead of calling out to gnome-settings-daemon we'll just implement
the switching logic ourselves and use mutter APIs that allow this
functionality to work both in X sessions and when we're a Wayland
compositor.
Switching IBus engines is done transparently as well just like g-s-d
used to do.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736435
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't this for us anymore. Note that
ibus-daemon isn't DBus activatable but just spawning it is fine
because it does its own single instance management. The library
notifies us when it shows up and goes away through the connected and
disconnected signals.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736435
The code path is completely unmaintained and untested (and probably
unused as well, considering that nobody has complained about accessing
the session object's Active property which does not exist in the
ConsoleKit case).
Most of our ConsoleKit code is already a dummy anyway, just do the
same for the remaining functionality.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686626
When a user logs in to a wayland session, we keep the login screen
running on the X server with the login screen running in a deactivated mode.
This commit makes sure it get reactivated when the user comes back to
the VT (from user switching, logout or just ctrl-alt-f1).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726989
The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.
Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.
It's important to compare the version components as integers,
not strings, so "10" evaulates as greater than "5"
This fixes the login screen in gnome 3.10.

We need to adjust the offset of close buttons, in case the box
pointer has the arrow at the top. To do so, extend close buttons
to hook into a boxpointer (since that's the common use for them)
and automatically adjust their position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707842
These don't go through gnome-session, so they don't properly update
its state machine. We should use these in the future when we want to
use logind user sessions, but for now, they're just a trap.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706612
A D-Bus service can export more supported interfaces than the
shell cares about. In those cases, we avoid creating proxies,
but neglect to finish things up so the object manager class
knows it can mark itself loaded.
This commit makes sure we do the proper finishing, so the object
manager still loads in the face of unsupported interfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706542
gnome-settings-daemon monitors smartcard insertion and removal
events on the system and then exports a model of the current
smartcard topology over the bus using the D-Bus ObjectManager interface.
This commit adds the support code needed in gnome-shell to talk to
the gnome-settings-daemon service.
A future commit will use this code to inform the login screen
when a user inserts a smartcard (so it can react appropriately)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
The D-Bus ObjectManager interface is fairly recent addition to the
D-Bus specification. Its purpose is to provide a standardized way
to track objects dynamically coming and going for a service, and
to track capabilities dynamically coming and going for those objects
(by means of interfaces).
This commit adds the requisite code needed to make use of the
ObjectManager interface.
It will ultimately be needed to implement smartcard support in the
login screen.
