Use ShellEntry.addContextMenu() to add context menus to most
existing entries, with the exception of:
- the login dialog - it may act be used to enter either the
username (e.g. no password entry) or the
password, and copy/paste does not make sense
(nowhere to copy from, nowhere to paste to)
- notifications - while adding a context menu is useful here as
well, it will require changes to the tray's
focus grab handling, so leave those entries
out for now

js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

A new envrionment variable GNOME_SHELL_ENABLE_CLEANUP is added which
causes us to attempt freeing global data. The reason this isn't
enabled by default is that it's a waste of time at best, and at
worst in corner cases could cause crashes which would fill up
crash databases. Better to leave it as a developer-only tool.
Start stubbing out some cleanup in ShellGlobal.

Returning true from the event handler seems to avoid getting
duplicate return events; these duplicate events likely are
getting generated by IBus.

If you run a command from Alt+F2 that tries to get a server grab (eg,
xmag), it will fail if it starts up before the run dialog is finished
hiding.
Additionally, the run dialog currently stays focused while it is
fading out, potentially stealing keystrokes (or causing the user to
accidentally launch two copies of a program).
Change ModalDialog.close() to call popModal() immediately
Add a ModalDialog.popModal method, and call that before running the
RunDialog command. If the command succeeds, close the dialog as
before. If it fails, call ModalDialog.pushModal() to put things back
to normal before displaying the error.

Make GSettings support optional, refactor text entry handling,
fix some off-by-one bugs in the management itself, use Params
for parsing, fix other typos and bugs.

When an error message is displayed the run dialog
pops to the new height instantly. It needs a
a transition.
This commit makes the dialog quickly grow to its
ultimate height, making room for the error message,
before showing it.

Now that we have a modalDialog base class in gnome-shell,
it makes sense to use it for the run dialog.
Note, the run dialog doesn't currently have buttons, so
it isn't exercising all the API of the base class.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).
Update various other bits of code around the shell to use the new
methods.

This should be useful for theme authors who want to quickly reload
the theme without restarting the whole shell.

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

The design calls for item to not appear abruptly, but not too slow
either - 100ms seems to be a good sweet spot for elements which are
supposed to appear "instantly".
Add a fade effect to the alt-tab popup and set the timings for other
fade effects to 100ms.

Before adding a new entry to the history, we check that it does not
match the previous entry to cut down the number of duplicate entries.
Part of that condition is a check for a history length greater zero
to avoid an illegal negative index, with the side effect that nothing
is ever added while the history is empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621123
This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
In preparation for adding magnification, "uiGroup.patch", organizes the stage
along the following lines:
Stage
*Magnifier
UI group
Window group
Chrome group
Overlay group
Alt tab
App display
Chrome
...
This allows a magnifier actor to clone and magnify the UI group. The magnifier
is a sibling of the UI Group in this stage oraganization -- see the next patch,
"Magnifier.patch".
When the user runs the same command as the last one saved there
is no need to save it again, otherwise we the history might end
up having lots of dupes which makes searching for an old command
harder.

Gjs now removes user_data arguments for callbacks - the existing
code still works because all user_data arguments are unused and
at the end of the argument list, but it's a lot prettier to remove
them.
Support completion on files and folders in the run dialog and launch
the default application when activated. Assume a path relative to the
home directory if execution as command fails and the input doesn't start
with a slash.
Removed workaround for relayout of error messages.

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.

Make the event blocking done by Lightbox optional - leave it activated
when displaying the run dialog, but deactivate it when highlighting
windows in the overview.

The run dialog crashes when PATH contains non-existing directories (some
distros seem to do that ...).
Fix by filtering those out before setting up file monitors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606418
Fix panel, app switcher, and looking glass to limit themselves to the
primary monitor, and run dialog to limit itself to the monitor
containing the currently-focused window.
The overview is also limited to the primary monitor now (with the
other monitors being blacked out), although the workspaces within the
overview are shaped like the full "screen" (the bounding box of all
monitors). To be fixed later.

The run dialog uses the "development_tools" gconf key to determine
whether funcions like "lg" or "restart" should be enabled, but it
failed to notice it on the run when said key changed. This commit
fixes this.
There are few uses for being able to exit the shell directly; my
current one is that the gtype debug infrastructure is implemented
as an atexit() handler.
Rename beginModal/endModal to pushModal/popModal. All of the current callers
just want to ensure that we're in a modal state; they don't actually need to
fail if we already are.
These functions also now take the Clutter keyboard focus, while recording
the previous focus.
