1) This is the official GNOME browser. The default favorite apps
are just some random picks, and anyone who wants to
switch can obviously use patches.
2) mozilla.desktop isn't actually even upstream in Firefox, so this
devolves to patches Fedora/Ubuntu carry to make one, meaning
that others have to patch the app list anyways.

We currenty don't have "finding and reminding" so we add gnome-documents
to the default favorites list to improve the document handling user expirence.

The two similar keys were hard to manipulate to have specific effects, so just
remove one. Now there is an *explicit* whitelist: all extensions must be in the
'enabled-extensions' for them to be loaded.

If the former is empty (default), only the extensions not contained in
the latter are loaded. Else, all extensions in the former that are
not contained in the latter are loaded.

This starts saving lookingGlass history in gsettings, and also adds
the ability to clear the text field by pressing 'down' on the last
entry, like the run dialog and readline allow.

The vp8 codec provides better performance in pretty much all cases compared
to theora while still being free (as in not patent encumbered).
Also add a %T placeholder to the pipeline string which will be replaced
with the a thread count based on the target system.

A key for 12hr/24hr clock format has been added to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
so use that instead of the one from the shell clock schema.
As the setting can be controlled from the Date and Time panel of
gnome-control-center now, drop the temporary preference dialog
as well.

The new layout does no longer support view switching, so merge
GenericWorkspacesView and SingleView, and remove MosaicView.
Also rename or remove workspace properties and functions which
are now unused.
The grid will have a comeback with the new DND behavior.

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.
