When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Clients can be expected to deal with the WM going away temporarily,
but not the display server - so when running as wayland compositor,
a restart is generally a fancy way of killing the user session, and
there's little we can do about it except for preventing the user to
shoot herself in the foot by throwing an error.

Support was added to Mutter to allow it to trigger a restart
to allow for restarts when switching in or out of stereo mode.
Hook up to the new signals on MetaDisplay to show the restart
message and reexec. Meta.is_restart() is used to suppress
the startup animation.
This also allows us to do 'Alt-F2 r' restarts more cleanly
without a visual flash and animation.

When set to fill, the label will always end up left-aligned, which
is only correct in LTR locales. Set the alignment explicitly to
work in both RTL and LTR locales.

Launching the run dialog to open the looking glass or something
like that shouldn't install a bunch of file monitors that monitor
every IO change to the home and system directories.
Instead, simply scan all the paths when trying to complete.

Currently the entry takes the intial key focus, but is not actually
part of the focus chain. Fix that, even though keynav does not work
too well for the dialog anyway, due to the entry consuming tab for
command completion.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
All classes that have at least one other derived class (and thus
benefit from the framework) have been now ported. These includes
NMDevice, SearchProvider, AltTab.SwitcherList, and some other
stuff around.

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.
