The _background hack was added because the old way the zooming animation
worked, it set the allocation of the workspaces view and thumbnails box
to the final position and used animations to smoothly animate.
During the 3.6 cycle when we added the new search view, Cosimo changed the
way the zoom animation works so that rather than set the final allocation
and animate, we actually do adjust the allocation of the workspaces view
and thumbnails box.
So, as the hack is no longer necessary, we can drop it.

When we shift workspaces to create a blank one for a window or
application, all of the window actors are shifted down. However, some
of these window actors are transient windows attached to a main window.
When these windows are moved to a different workspace, the main window
is moved along with it. When the main window is moved, these windows
are also moved. This creates a double move of the windows.
This double movement leads to unexpected results where workspaces are
collapsed and windows are in incorrect positions.
This patch prevents movement of these transient windows, only grabbing
the main (ancestor) windows to move to a different workspace.

Right now we only destroy the bgManager object when the
workspaceThumbnail is explicitly destroy with its destroy()
method.
This commit makes sure bgManager gets destroyed when the
workspaceThumbnail actor is destroyed without calling
destroy().

To create a new workspace by dropping on the placeholder, we move all
the windows down one workspace and then wait for _checkWorkspaces() to
automatically create the empty one at the end.
This means that, from the implementation POV, the new workspace is not
the one created by DND but it's the last one, and this detail was exposed
in the UI because the animation was applied on that one.
Fix that by starting the animation manually from the DND code, and then
blocking the animation from happening when the new workspace is created
with a flag.

Windows can be restacked at any time, including when the stackAbove
property of the window clone is being dragged, and thus parented to
the uiGroup. To do stacking properly, we need to skip it for the duration
of the drag, and sync it again at the end (which is already done by
mutter because of the workspace change)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685285
This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background
api, and changes the shell's startup animation to be closer
to the mockups.
Based on initial work by Giovanni Campagna

Both WorkspacesDisplay and ThumbnailsBox need to know when windows have been
restacked. Instead of each tracking changes on their own or trying to call
each other, have the overview keep track and do the calculations, emitting
a signal with the result.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690175
When in the overview, if you move the mouse cursor over one of the
application launchers in the dash, all the unrelated windows are dimmed
both both in the window view and in the workspace view.
It helps to easily understand whether or not there are already opened
windows for this application, and where they are. It can also help in
differentiating the windows in the overview (sometimes the thumbnails
aren't precise enough to easily know which thumbnail belongs to which
application).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657315
This makes the workspace indicator respect the "padding" style attribute.
Also, since we no longer draw the border on top of the thumbnail,
we need to be pixel-precise in allocating the indicator height.
We use this to make the workspace selector more similar to the mockup.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662087
Currently, click and drop events are handled by each WorkspaceThumbnail
instance. With the introduction of the workspace cut and the request
to extend the reactive area of the workspace selector to the edge
of the monitor, it becomes more convenient to do all the event handling
inside ThumbnailsBox, even if this requires some manual layout computation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643319
In the workspace-collecting code we add a check to avoid collecting a
workspace if any startup sequence is running there. Since the sequence
can take some time to load, an helper function is also added which keeps
the (empty) workspace around for a very short time, while waiting for the
sequence to start.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664202
The dynamic-workspaces key was introduced to allow us to opt out of
writing the num-workspaces setting (which is ignored with the dynamic
workspace management anyway), but there'll be some expectations that
the setting will have an effect on the UI.
It's actually not very hard to support, so here's to the graybeards ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671568
- We should only call workspaceRemoved() for workspaces that are
are actually being removed.
- When we have multiple monitors, a window on a secondary monitor is
on all workspaces, so it ends up in all workspaces _allWindows
lists, so we can't use previous presence in that list to determine
whether we need to go ahead and add the actor; allWindows is simply
the list of windows where we are listening to notify::minimized.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667652
We add a drag monitor to check whether the pointer is inside
the workspace selector, and update the visibility of the drop
placeholder consequently.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664201
The dash handles 'window-drag-cancelled', to be able to do the
animations for drag snap-back and size changes in parallel. As
the signal is not emitted for previews in the workspace switcher,
it does not work in that case.
The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660358
Instances of this class share a single CoglTexture behind the scenes which
allows us to show the background with different rendering options without
duplicating the texture data.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656433
Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as
well as a timestamp; previously we might have been ignoring event
timestamps from elsewhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648149
Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to
the layout manager's 'monitors-changed' signal to know when the screen
geometry has changed.
