The Frequent apps grid has a few problems:
* On a fresh install there would be no history of app usage so the
applications shown in the grid have no relevance it takes time
to be useful instead of being useful from the start;
* The grid has far too many items in it to be relevant; 24 apps is
well beyond the average use case as most people don't frequently
use that many, so it gets populated with several apps that are
single use (hello xterm);
* The position of items in the grid are always changing based on an
unknown frequency metric (and not by user-intended input) which
makes it a poor way to quickly launch apps as one would have to
constantly learn the positions of the items in the grid;
* Having two app grids is a bit superfluous and needlessly complicates
the app launching navigation: you have to spend time checking the
frequent grid and if it's not there you have to switch over to another
grid and find the app you need in there it's not straightforward.
Remove the Frequent tab and simplify the related code.

As outlined in commit 36b8dcbe07, we can end up with wrong icons
if the icon theme changes right after a GTK theme change to/from
HighContrast triggered a theme reload.
That's because when we reload icons for the new icon theme, there
are already pending requests due to the icon-style change; those
requests are simply re-used for the new icons, with the existing
icon infos from the old theme.
The above commit applied a simple work-around by changing the
icon theme before the GTK theme, but that only works for the
HighContrast switch in our own UI.
It turns out that Settings also uses the "wrong" order, so the
issue still reproduces with the Universal Access panel.
So instead of relying on everything changing the settings in the
order we expect, cancel all ongoing requests on icon-theme changes.

With color picking implemented in the compositor, we
can do better than letting the user pick a pixel with
the crosshair cursor, and present them with a preview
of the color that will be selected.
Do this by replacing the cursor with a custom icon and
apply a recoloring effect, where we replace a given color
with the color of the currently hovered pixel (similar
to a green screen).

Since the `MetaSelection` of the global `StClipboard` is private (and
should be), there is no reasonable way for extensions or external code
to query the supported mime-types.
Add `st_clipboard_get_mimetypes()` so this can be queried without
poking around in private code.

Currently there is no indication that an extension had an error except
for the sensitivity of the switch (which may have a different cause).
This is useful information to users, so add a small error indicator
alongside the updates icon and show the actual error in the details.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2337
logExtensionError() currently saves the error message by calling
toString() on the passed error. That's convenient as it allows to
pass a string instead of a "proper" error, but the result isn't
great for the common Error case: Its toString() method prefixes
the message with the error name, which usually is just "Error:".
The plain message is more suitable for displaying it to users,
so use that for Error objects.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2337
Currently the switches handle position reflects the requested
extension state (as in: the user (de)activated the switch),
while the actual extension state is reflected by the underlying
state.
That doesn't work well when the switch is insensitive though (for
example on error), because the desaturation neuters the color
that reflects the state.
Address this by resetting the switch handle to the state when
making it insensitive.

Since e06109c23c we keep old theme nodes
valid during the emission of the "custom-stylesheets-changed" signal.
It turns out that we might still look up the file of a stylesheet using
the files_by_stylesheet hashtable during the emission of that signal,
causing a crash because the assertion in _st_theme_resolve_url() fails.
So fix that and remove the stylesheet entry from the files_by_stylesheet
hashtable after emitting the "custom-stylesheets-changed" signal. And to
be consistent, also remove the entry from the stylesheets_by_file
hashtable after emitting the signal.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2757
`StBoxLayout` has a couple properties (`vertical` and `pack-start`)
improperly referenced as signals, and is somewhat unclear these
properties are wrappers around the underlying `ClutterBoxLayout`
properties.
Fix these up and add references to the underlying properties, rather
than redescribing them.

Replace the usage of IconGrid in the grid search results by
a custom layout manager that only allocates as many children
as the actor can fit.
This new layout manager does not implement changing the icon
size depending on the screen size.

This is a small convenience method for using ClutterActor's iterator API
with javascript's built-in iterator protocol, for example as:

For fd.o notifications, we are taking the sender's PID into
account when associating notifications with sources (mainly
to deal with notify-send).
This broke when the implementation under the well-known name
was moved into a separate service, as the implementation in
gnome-shell will now always see the public notification-daemon
as sender.
Restore the old behavior by resolving the sender PID in the
separate service, and pass it as hint to the implementation
in gnome-shell.

Spidermonkey caches imports, which means that uninstalling an
old extension version and installing a new one doesn't work as
expected: If the previous version was loaded, then its code will
be imported instead.
For the last couple of releases this has been a reliable source
of extension bug reports after major GNOME updates. Thankfully
chrome-gnome-shell removed its update support in favor of our
built-in support now, but users may still use older versions
or perform those actions manually, so it still makes sense to
catch this case and set an appropriate error.

The do-not-disturb button and the contained switch are
tied together via a bidirectional property binding.
However it still matters which objects are used as source
and target, as that will determine the initial state: Right
now the (unchecked) button is used as source, which means
that do-not-disturb is turned off on startup.
We want the state to be preserved, so swap source and target
to let the switch (that is bound to the underlying GSetting)
control the initial state.

Sliders can be operated by mouse scroll, but the mouse has to be over
the slider control. Make the brightness and volume system menu entries
forward scroll events to the sliders they contain so that scrolling
anywhere on the menu item operates the slider.

Whether or not an extension has errors influences the 'canChange'
property, but so far we only update it for errors that occur when
initializing the extension, not when an extension is enabled later.

Soup.SessionAsync by default sets timeout and idle_timeout to 0. This
causes connections to hang around in state CLOSE_WAIT forever after the
remote host has closed the connection.
To fix this, we could set timeout and idle_timeout manually. However,
Soup.SessionAsync is marked as deprecated anyway and should be replaced
by Soup.Session. Doing so also sets a default timeout of 60 seconds.

Removing a stylesheet from the theme will trigger a style update. There's
little point in updating the extension actors that are about to be destroyed
(hopefully), so call the extension's disable() function first.

Sometimes an MPRIS media player will create and then destroy an object
before the signals that handle the object's destruction can be created.
This verifies that the object still exists after the necessary signals
have been created.

Since commit 0ecddafc20 gsd-xsettings startup has been made conditional
on the systemd user instance being available at runtime. While that is
correct, it means that completing xwayland startup is also conditional
now.
We always want xwayland startup to go ahead, so wait for the XSettings
plugin to appear on the bus when gsd-xsettings is launched by gnome-session
and complete the task immediately if startup fails.
