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.

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.

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

manager still loads in the face of unsupported interfaces.

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.

With fallback mode dropped, we can no longer rely on gnome-screensaver
to be installed, so we'll have cases where we are unable to lock the
screen. The user menu should not show the "Lock" item in this case,
but as UnlockDialog includes UserMenu, we cannot use the existing check
without creating a circular dependency; move the function to a more
generic place to fix.

If screen locking is enabled, the screen shield should drop down
on suspend. Currently this is achieved by either explicitly locking
the screen (when selecting "Suspend" from the user menu) or by
relying on g-s-d delaying the suspension enough time for the shield
to get into place (lid close, power button).
Systemd inhibitors offer a safer way to ensure that the screen is
locked before going to sleep, so add a small abstraction for them
in the loginManager - with inhibitors being a systemd-only feature,
the ConsoleKit path only has a dummy implementation.

shell_mobile_providers_parse() was returning the country information split
into a hash table with providers and a hash table with country names. This
patch merges both outputs into a single per-country object, so the parse()
method now returns a GHashTable with the following element-type:
(element-type utf8 ShellCountryMobileProvider>)
This also avoids more complex setups like returning lists inside of hash tables,
which was actually breaking either g-i or gtk-doc.
shell_mobile_providers_parse() was also modified to allow inputting the paths
of the country codes and provider list files to use. If paths are not given, the
default ones will be used. This helps us to provide test files during unit
tests.
Both the findProviderForMCCMNC() and findProviderForSid() methods are exported
out of the GSM and CDMA specific classes, and new unit tests for them are
implemented. Tests can be run manually with:

When connecting to virtual machines with usb-device redirection, such as Spice
enabled vms, automount may get in the way. Specifically if auto-usbredir is
enabled in the vm-viewer, then the usbredir code and the automount code race
for who gets to the device first.
If the automount code wins the race this is a problem, since usbredir causes a
device-disconnect (iow the usb mass storage driver sees an unplug), so in the
end usbredir always wins, and we end up with a non clean potentially corrupt
filesystem. Also see:

There for the need exists to be able to inhibit gnome-shell's automounting,

gnome-session moved away from using properties over DBus in 2008, which
means that the code in GNOME 3.0 never should have worked -- but it did,

The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);

The loop can exit with an interval of length one or one of
length zero. In the first case it is correct to check which side
of the interval to return, in the second case no comparison should
be made (since there is only one possible value).
In practice, this usually results in one comparison more than needed,
but in some cases (when the position was past the end of the array),
would call the comparator with undefined.

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

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.

The design has smaller icons in two columns. Add a new

Clean up some of the texture cache handling for recent URIs so
it's not size-dependent, since the dash size is now different
from the default GenericDisplay size.
Extend ShellTextureCache by adding the concept of a policy, which
we expose to the public API for loading URIs.
This lets us have the shell tell the cache to keep the information
icon texture around forever.
Secondly, fix the caching of recent info; we shouldn't always be
loading the backup pixbuf. Move recent info loading entirely
into ShellTextureCache.
Move thumbnail creation into ShellTextureCache. It's now asynchronous,
and we cache the result.
Create a DocManager class which keeps around the DocInfo objects between
invocations. This is also where we ensure we remove thumbnails for
recent items not known anymore.
Before, we looked up application data in several ways; the ShellAppSystem
exported just application ids (though it parsed the .desktop files internally),
and we'd create a Gio.DesktopAppInfo object (reparsing the desktop file again),
wrapping that inside a JavaScript AppInfo class, and finally the AppDisplay
would again parse the .desktop file to get the categories.
Also, to look up applications by id previously, we traversed the entire
menu structure each time.
Some qualities such as the NoDisplay flag were not easily exposed in the old
system. And if we wanted to expose them we'd have to change several different
application information wrapper classes.
All in all, it was quite suboptimal.
The theme of this new code is basically "just use libgnome-menus". We do
not call into Gio for app lookups anymore. The new Shell.AppInfo class
is a disguised pointer for the GMenuTreeEntry item.
To fix the caching, we keep a simple hash table of desktop id -> ShellAppInfo.
Clutter no longer allows using a clone of an actor that is not a part of
the scene graph. This is what used to happen when we created a clone for
the icon of the item that was being dragged, and then closed the More panes
with the original item, removing the icon from the scene graph. This was
also when happened when the user hit Esc while dragging, which prompted the
overlay to close, removing the original icon from the scene graph.
Rename getIcon() methods to createIcon() to better reflect on the fact that
a new icon is created each time the method is called (we do use cache in
some cases).
Remove a stray log message in overlay.js

The new class AppWell implements the application favorite well
in the Dash component. The previous AppDisplay remains for use
in the More... mode now.
Delete DEFAULT_APPLICATIONS; this is now in GConf.
Rename getMostUsedApps to getTopApps since we now have the
idea of explicit favorites.
Delete some GenericDisplay-related calls from overlay related
to the seletion - we'll reimplement keyboard nav in a more
coherent way later.
We achieve this with two changes:
- Move the Shell.get_thumbnail call in DocInfo from _init
to getIcon, so that it isn't executed until it's actually
needed.
(If caching the output of said call permanently is desired
we could still do it on the first getIcon invocation, but
I don't believe this is necessary given that looking up an
already generated icon is pretty fast and this also gives
us an updated icon in case the file changes.)
- More importantly, we ommit the get_thumbnail call in case
the URI doesn't start with file://. Looking up, for example,
an http:// URI is very slow, and doesn't give us an icon anyway.

With commit a3d35af444 variable
itemInfo in js/ui/appDisplay.js was changed to a new object
(AppInfo from js/misc/appInfo.js) but some of the code in
js/ui/appDisplay.js wasn't updated accordingly. This commit
fixes that and makes the search box in the overlay usable
again.
This lets us share the recent-app-tracking, recent-file-tracking, and
icon-drawing code between the overlay and the sidebar, without the
sidebar having to poke into AppDisplayItem and DocDisplayItem's guts.
