While we don't technically need the app to download and apply
updates, we do require it for notifying the user about available
updates and listing extensions with pending updates.
So instead of intransparently applying updates in the background
without the user noticing, disable updates altogether if the
Extensions app is not installed.

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an
extension that has been blacklisted makes sense off-hand, unfortunately
we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any
time soon[0], so drop the 'blacklist' handling for the time being.

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,
but didn't always chain up as necessary. In most places this doesn't
matter, but at the very least the commit broke activating message list
items via the keyboard.
Add all (hopefully) the missing chain-ups to get the expected behavior
back.

Destroying the policy invalidates it, so accessing it from a
Source::destroy handler (for example to disconnect signal
handlers) currently results in warnings like:
Object .Gjs_ui_messageTray_NotificationApplicationPolicy
(0x7f8c7c0a64a0), has been already deallocated — impossible
to access it.

The idea behind commit 3dd8ffc2bb to try harder to avoid empty
icon actors because of missing icons was sound, so implement that
behavior in StIcon itself:
If the main gicon was not found, and the fallback gicon isn't set or
wasn't found either, fall back to the standard 'missing-image' icon.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1127
The commit broke StIcon's :fallback-gicon property, as it relies on failure to load
an icon to determine that the fallback should be shown.
Luckily StIcon is the only user of st_texture_cache_load_gicon() (at least in
regular shell code), so we'll be able to implement the 'image-missing' fallback
there.
This reverts commit 3dd8ffc2bb.

In order to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter,
we will need the ability to make a window transient to an external
window identified by a string handle.
This takes the corresponding code from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and
brings it into an introspectable form, likewise the counterpart in
libportal to export a string handle for a GtkWindow.

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

Previously we'd show the system background and then wait till the
main loop was idle before beginning the shell startup animation.
This resulted in one initial frame that was always just the system
background.
Now we try to get both the system background and the startup animation
begun on the same first frame.

In telepathyClient we consider messages both Tpl.TextEvents and
Tpl.Messages, and we manually create JS objects to copy the properties we
care for each one. This may lead to objects not matching the interface we
want.
Instead, use an object with construct-only properties and two factory static
methods to initialize it.
Unfortunately we need to use the ChatMessageClass for the class name or
calling the static methods would trigger a gjs error as per [1].

When mutter is acting as a display server it sets a number of
environment variables in the user's session. These variables
tell applications where the display server's sockets are.
When the shell exits at logout time it leaves these environment
variables in the systemd --user environment, which can confuse
subsequent sessions.
This commit clears up the environment on exit.

We now warn on startup if screen locking isn't available, however for
users who choose not to use GDM or logind, repeating the warning on
each login is more annoying than helpful.
Instead, limit the warning to the first login on which the screen lock
became unavailable. That way the notification will still serve the
intended purpose of informing the user, but without being perceived
as nagging.

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.

It's easy to forget to add a new <release> tag to the metainfo when
doing a new release.
Address this with an additional test if appstream-util is recent
enough to include the new validate-version command, so distcheck
fails when the metainfo wasn't updated.

Rely on the Pango renderer handling this properly, instead of tinting
the full ClutterText in the color specified through css.
Also set the caret color explicitly, since it used to be set as a side
effect of clutter_text_set_color(), but no longer is.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/850
Commit da537cda43 moved the Shell.Screenshot API to GIO's async pattern,
but we never set the GError passed to the *_finish() functions and only
indicate failure by returning FALSE.
The expected behavior is to throw an error in that situation, so make sure
we do that.

If a given icon is not available for neither the current theme nor any
of the fallback options (default theme -"Adwaita", "gnome"...), the
call to gtk_icon_theme_lookup_by_gicon() will return a NULL value, which
returned by the Shell Toolkit as is, causing trouble in the Shell's JS
code when calling shell_app_create_icon_texture() to create an icon.
To at least mitigate the chances of this having this issue happening, we
should at least try to load the standad 'image-missing' icon from the
Icon Naming Specification spec when we receive a NULL here, so that
at least we try to show something to the user, even if it's ugly.

While sandboxing isn't a concern for the gnome-extensions command line
tool, using the Extensions proxy directly means that D-Bus methods are
called from the tool rather than gnome-shell, which allows the proxy
to auto-shutdown when done.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.
The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:
- filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
to files)
- system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)
- extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
gnome-shell's dependencies
- if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs
And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).
This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:
- it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows
- it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
in the same namespace as the extension itself
That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
We are jumping through quite some hoops to support showing only the
preference dialog when given a UUID on the command line.
As gnome-shell is about to stop calling out to us for the prefs dialog,
the reason for supporting this is going away, so remove all the special
handling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
The dialog that contains the extension's preference widget has become
fairly complex over time, mostly due to the error handling.
It therefore makes sense to move it to a template, just like we did
for the main application window and extension rows.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
On X11, _onFocusChanged() updates the input region, as well as the
reactive-ness of the dialog's buttons.
That method is not only used as signal handlers (which are correctly
disconnected when the dialog is hidden), it also runs when the "show"
transition completes.
That's a problem if the transition is still ongoing when the dialog is
hidden, as it will then only complete when it is replaced by the "hide"
transition, after the this._dialog has been reset to null, and trying
to access the dialog's buttons results in an error.
Avoid this by explicitly removing all transition on hide before
resetting the dialog.

Commit c1ec7b2ff meant to fall back to the base layout in case
a variant like `fr+oss` is set up, but as we are checking for
'+' on the array rather than the layout name, the fallback only
"works" for a layout that is literally called '+', whoops.

Detailed notifications are meant to be single line, just as unexpanded
notification banners. So handle them the same way as in the message
list, and replace embedded newlines by spaces.

We only show the list of system- and user extensions if corresponding
extensions are installed, however we only update the visibility
after loading the initial list of extensions.
As it's possible for the first user extension to be installed while the
app is open or the last one to be removed, we should also update the
list visibility after extension state changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1088
While we only shut down after a method call completed or (if the
interface has signals) the sender disconnects from the bus, services
may need to inhibit auto-shutdown for more specific reasons themselves,
for example when a method call kicks off an operation that should
complete before shutting down.
Add hold() and release() methods like Gio.Application for those cases.
