Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed
at runtime, like extension, but are tied more directly to a session
mode. The session polkit agent, the network agent, autorun/automount,
are all components, keyring, recorder and telepathy client are all
now copmonents.

The design has a combined volume-network-power indicator in the lock
screen, which when opened shows a volume slider. Implement it by abstracting
the volume menu into a PopupMenuSection, and by creating three StIcons
bound to the real ones.

Various code around had different paths for ConsoleKit and
logind. Consolidate it by making an abstract class that all
callers can use, which hides the implementation details of the
two daemons.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682096
In preparation for accessing it in the screenshield, factor out
common code for ConsoleKit and Systemd.
Also, clean up ConsoleKit manager, as the daemon is required in
a non systemd installation. In particular:
- We allow it to be autostarted at session startup (or really,
we expect it to be already there, started by GDM during session
opening).
- We no longer silently assume that the session is active if
it can't start.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682096
When the screenshield is deactivated, instead of going back to the
session immediately, prompt the user for authentication.
This essentially reinstates what used to be provided by gnome-screensaver.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield
that is part of gnome-shell.
This patch fades out the screen on idle and shows a shield with a background
image when there is activity again. The shield can be removed with a key or
button press.

The dependency chain spirals out from folks->zeitgeist->xapian...and
I'm really not interested in pulling in all of that into the core
shell.
There is work on splitting out contact search into gnome-contacts; I'd
add a bug link but Bugzilla is down.
This is seldomly used, and isn't checked in SweetTooth. Just remove
this inconsistency here rather than adding infrastructure to manage
and check it elsewhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677586
Rather than accessing global.session_type / global.session_mode
all over the place, delegate mode information to a dedicated
sessionMode object. While not very useful for now, we will replace
checks for a particular mode with checks for particular properties
that sessionMode defines based on global.session_mode.

* Add a keyring prompter based on GcrSystemPrompter
* Adds dependency on gcr version 3.3.5 or higher
* Not yet using unmerged support for non-pageable memory

Although not all "Finding and reminding" applications are ready
yet, the integration with gnome-documents' search results overlaps
enough with the "Recent Items" provider to justify its removal.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670150
Add an asynchronous search provider for results from a DBus service
implementing the org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider interface; this
will allow applications to hook into the Shell's search without
implementing it in Shell itself or requiring an extension.

Substitutions generated by configure don't resolve prefixes, so
cannot be used for paths. Config already had localedir, and next
commit will need libexecdir and sysconfdir, so just bite the bullet
and move to sed.

ConsoleKit is obsoleted by systemd-logind. Accordingly, port
the current CK code to systemd. In order to be nice to
the Debian people fall back to CK if systemd is not found,
so that the code makes the best of whatever it runs on.
A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
ExtensionUtils is a new module that has a lot of miscellaneous things related
to loading extensions and the extension system put into a place that does not
depend on Shell or St.
Note that this will break extensions that have with multiple files by replacing
the old uuid-based importer with an object directly on the meta object.

When transitioning from gnome-panel to gnome-shell in 3.0 we
lost the ability to summon the wisdom of the mythical fish.
This patch restores this, for the few adepts that are aware of
the magical incantation.
(Not as configurable as the original one, but it's an easter egg
after all...)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666606
Add addContextMenu() to support context menus on right-click/long-press.
Depending on the parameters passed, the context menu only contains
"Copy"/"Paste" actions or an additional "Show/Hide Text" toggle action
for password entries.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659275
This commit adds the ability to log in with a fingerprint instead
of a password (assuming the user is enrolled and fingerprint
isn't disabled via gsettings)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657823
Making users have to log in to power off the machine isn't a good idea.
This commit adds a power menu similar to the one in the fallback greeter
which offers 3 items:
- Suspend
- Restart
- Power off
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657822
This adds contacts search to shell, powered by libfolks.
Changes:
- Add Folks and Gee to the build system
- ShellContactSystem, a backend in C
- ContactDisplay, search frontend in JS

We haven't actually been calling the top-right menu "status menu" for
quite some time, so use the upcoming code changes as an excuse for
renaming it to "user menu".
This commit adds GDM session support.
It provides a user list that talks to GDM,
handles authentication via PAM, etc.
It doesn't currently support fingerprint readers
and smartcards.

In order for transformation animations to look good, they need to be
incremental and have some order to them (e.g., fade out hidden items,
then shrink to close the void left over).
Chaining animations in this way can be error prone and wordy using just
Tweener callbacks.
This commit adds a new set of classes to help:
- Task. encapsulates schedulable work to be run in a specific scope.
- ConsecutiveBatch. runs a series of tasks in order and completes
when the last in the series finishes.
- ConcurrentBatch. runs a set of tasks at the same time and completes
when the last to finish completes.
- Hold. prevents a batch from completing the pending task until
the hold is released.
The tasks associated with a batch are specified in a list at batch
construction time as either task objects or plain functions.
Batches are task objects, themselves, so they can be nested.
For now, these APIs are temporarily getting staged in a gdm/ specific
subdirectory so they will be available for use by GDM. They aren't
specific to GDM, or even to doing animations, though, so the API may eventually
move in some form or another to a more general location. Alternatively, the
APIs may ultimately get dropped entirely and replaced by something else.

Using the new ShellNetworkAgent, show a system modal dialog
(similar to the PolicyKit one) when NetworkManager needs secrets
for connecting to wireless.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650244
LayoutManager and Chrome are already somewhat intertwined and will be
becoming more so. As a first step in merging them, move the Chrome
object into layout.js (with no other code changes).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655813
Ideally, this would be an entirely-JS implementation, but we have a
couple of issues with gjs and gobject-introspection to work around, so
we need a ShellMountOperation class for the time being.
This first commit implements the show-processes dialog, with a system
modal style very similar to the EndSession dialog.
Implementations of ask-question and ask-password will follow shortly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653520
The AutomountManager class is the low-level counterpart of the
previously introduced AutorunManager, and takes care of extracting the
list of valid mounts from a GVolume or a GDrive and mounting them,
provided a number of conditions and requirements are met.
AutomountManager also keeps track of the current session availability
(using the ConsoleKit and gnome-screensaver DBus interfaces) and
inhibits mounting if the current session is locked, or another session
is in use instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653520
AutorunManager is a class that takes care of displaying and managing
notifications and UI for storage devices.
When a mount appears and a number of conditions are satisified, a
transient notification will be displayed to immediately interact with
the device. AutorunTransientDispatcher is the object that takes care of
showing/hiding the notification sources as devices appear/disappear.
Likewise, current mounts are kept in a list and presented within a
list in a resident notification, handled by AutorunResidentSource.

Adds an implementation of nm-applet in javascript. Uses the new
introspection from NetworkManager, and temporarily requires
nm-applet to be running for the secret service.
Features a renewed interface, with each device controllable through
a switch, which if toggled off disconnects, and if toggled on
connects to the most recently used valid connection. More esoteric
features like creation of ad-hoc networks have been moved to the
control center panel.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621707
A PolicyKit Authentication Agent is a construct used to authenticate
one or more identities. See the PolicyKit documentation for more
details on authentication agents and how PolicyKit works:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/
Since gjs does not support subclassing a GObject class from Javascript
code, we bring in a native class to bridge the VFuncs to GObject
signals. Additionally, this native class also queues up authentication
requests so the user of the native class only has to deal with a
single outstanding request at any one time.
The file js/ui/polkitAuthenticationAgent.js introduces a singleton
that listens for authentication requests via the native class. This
singleton uses the PolkitAgent machinery to do the actual heavy-weight
lifting required for authentication (essentially a PAM conversation).
We currently don't allow the user to pick the identity to be
authenticated.
