Avoid starting/stopping the gsd-xsettings systemd unit if the shell itself
was not started via systemd. In the lack of a user session manager, we
have no means to neatly start/stop services, so should rely on the good
ol' gnome-session to do this for us.
This changes the return value meaning slightly, TRUE means "service did
start", FALSE otherwise. The error is only raised if we ought to start,
but it produced an error somehow.

Add a small helper method to asynchronously "touch" a file and return
whether the file was created or not.
As g_file_make_directory_with_parents() doesn't have an async variant,
we need a C helper to make the entire operation non-blocking.

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

If graphical applications want to start from systemd units, they need to
start after we're properly ready to display them. This is particularly
important under X where `_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS` and other xprops are needed
to have the right theming.
We're doing this in an idle callback so that the dynamic starting of
`gnome-session-x11-service.target` (which launches `gsd-xsettings`) as
the result of a signal emission happens before us signalling we're ready
for later things to start.

Until commit 506b75fc7f we got away with not handling a NULL return
value, as cairo_surface_destroy() deals with a NULL surface; the same
isn't true for get_width/get_height, so guard to code in question to
prevent a crash.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1678
This is now handled in Mutter. Also, respect the result size instead
of assuming it to be equal to the clip size, as the clip takes actor
coordinates while the result takes buffer coordinates.
This can be fixed in a future API iteration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/728
Instead of going via the MetaShapedTexture to get the cairo surface, get
it from the window actor. The window actor can then handle this in a way
that makes it include potential subsurfaces.

Get from clutter the capture sizes and scale and don't mind
about doing any rounding here, as it might be different
from the one done at clutter level (causing mismatch and
not-working videos). Delegate this to clutter, and forget
about the internal details.
These values are then used to composte the image and set the video caps.

The Magnifier class uses a small subtree of actors to track the
current cursor's position and sprite. Specifically, it uses the
deprecated ClutterTexture to paint the cursor sprites.
Add a new, very simple ClutterContent implementation to track the
cursor sprite, and replace the ClutterTexture by a ClutterActor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/371
Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.
It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.
fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.

libmutter-clutter fixed stage capturing when views are scaled, and for
that to work properly when compositing the screenshot, we need to deal
with the cairo device scale here too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When clutter gives us multiple captures (multiple cairo_surface_t's),
composite them into one large image and use that as final screenshot
result. This makes screenshooting work when mutter uses multiple views.

We use the newly introduced feature from Mutter to hook up our own
fullscreen and unfullscreen animations.
To give the illusion of a transition as smooth as possible, we create a
snapshot of the current contents of the actor before its state is
changed, and crossfade between the two states while the size changes.

libcaribou was designed to generate X events which works under wayland
sessions for X clients but obviously doesn't work for wayland clients
and for shell chrome.
This patch adds a simple caribou display adapter which inherits from
its X display adapter and allows us to continue to work for X clients
and at the same time makes the OSK work on shell text entries by
sending key events directly to the focused text actor.
Making the OSK work for wayland clients requires much bigger changes
at various levels in the stack and either not using libcaribou or
re-working it substantially so that's left for future work.

NVIDIA drivers don't preserve FBO contents across suspend / resume
cycles which results in broken backgrounds. We can work around that by
forcing a refresh when coming out of suspend.

Commit 5a47ad837b changed the definition of NC_() to include the
message context, so that gettext can correctly disambiguate strings
like "S". However this does only work when gettext actually returns
a translation from the catalogue; if the string is not found, we
need to strip the context again to not have it show up in the UI.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745521
We commonly mark strftime format strings for translation to account
for date/time representations without an existing strftime shortcut
("Yesterday %H%p"). As those translations are looked up according to
the locale defined by LC_MESSAGES, while the conversion characters
themselves are resolved according to LC_TIME, the result can be
rather odd when mixing locales ("Den 27. January"). The correct
solution would be to install translations for format strings in
the LC_TIME catalogue and look them up with dcgettext(), but we
don't have the infrastructure to do that easily. Work around this
by adding a helper method that looks up a string in LC_MESSAGES
using the locale defined by LC_TIME and use that to translate
format strings, which has the same result.

Instead of poking through IDLETIME, which confuses the state tracking
and can prevent automatic suspend, send a special signal to GSD
when the screen is to be waken up for a notification.
Someday we'll bring over all the state tracking and avoid this
ping-pong between gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon, but
that day's not today.

If the sprite is NULL, like if a Wayland app wanted to hide the cursor,
then we need to hide the ClutterTexture on our side, as ClutterTexture
has no easy way to tell it to paint nothing.
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711631
Mutter now includes an object with the same purpose and functionality
as ShellXFixesCursor, so we can replace our XFixes code with it
and work under wayland too.

Remove the PlacesManager, its search provider and all associated code.
Places search is now provided by nautilus using the external search
provider API.

The original design for the overview had buttons for searching for
Wikipedia and Google, but in practice this is a bad idea. The buttons
are the default activations, meaning that using the overview as a
fluent motion of launching something - "firefxo<Enter>", will launch
Google/Wikipedia.

To allow more than one summary icon actor for a source we split
the model of the source icon (which is iconName, if the default
implementation is used, or a GIcon otherwise) and replace
createNotificationIcon() with a generic createIcon(size). Also,
the actual source actor is split into a separate class, that handles
the notification counter automatically.

While modal dialogs were attached to the parent's titlebar, it
made sense to leave the top of the parent window at full color.
With the new position of modal dialogs, it makes more sense to dim
the entire parent window, so we can use a combination of Clutter's
BrightnessContrast- and DesaturateEffect instead of our own custom
shader.
