Systemd-for-the-user-session would also do this, but that's a deeply
invasive change that I may not actually get to this cycle. This
change is tiny and non-invasive, but provides an important benefit:
You can actually reliably tell *which* applications are logging which
messages (assuming they're launched by the shell).
This actually complements a recent change in DBus:
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68559
which does a similar thing for bus activated apps.

We want to transition to a system in the future where we have a desktop
file cache. As we no longer differentiate categories or similar, it no
longer makes sense to have app visibility based on categories. Thus,
we no longer need to use gnome-menus to list all apps. The potential
issue here is reloading all desktop files when new files are created,
but this can be dealt with individually.
The "All Applications" view still uses gnome-menus.

Build gnome-shell for x11, and gnome-shell-wayland for wayland
(as well as the associated libgnome-shell and libgnome-shell-wayland).
The first one links to libmutter, the second to libmutter-wayland.
libgnome-shell and libgnome-shell-wayland are now compiled from
libgnome-shell-base (with all sources that are independent of mutter),
libgnome-shell-menu (with the copy-pasted gtk sources), plus the
sources that use mutter API

It's mostly equivalent to "jhbuild run gnome-shell", which is
the preferred way. Also, running from the source tree can't be
supported at this point, and the wrapper is getting in the way
of having two binaries, one for wayland and one for X11.

Since [1], GIO supports generic serialization and deserialization of a
GIcon into a GVariant. This is also implemented by GdkPixbuf and could be
used instead of our homegrown code for it.
This commit adds support to another 'icon' key in the metas dictionary
returned by applications for it. The previous 'gicon' and 'icon-data'
keys are still parsed and supported as before, but are now deprecated.

Since GNOME 3.6, switching XKB layouts changes the group
configuration. This patch tries to track group configuration changes
and reconstruct UI as needed. See also caribou bug#694011.

As pressure barriers need a signalling mechanism to provide
information about when and where they are hit, an object which
provides a signal is a more appropriate abstraction for a pointer
barrier than a functional ID-based approach. Mutter has gained
pointer barrier wrappers, so use its objects instead of ours.

Instead of directly using symbols from GLX to check for the swap event
notification, the plugin now first verifies that the Cogl renderer is
actually using the GLX winsys and then indirectly fetches the pointers
for the GLX functions using cogl_get_proc_address. That way it will
continue to work if Cogl is using an EGL winsys.
Nothing in the Gnome Shell plugin now directly uses symbols from libGL
so we don't need to link to it. This helps to avoid problems linking
against two GL APIs when cogl is using a non-GL driver such as GLES2.
