The screen grabber was a workaround for an extremely slow path in Mesa
when reading back pixel data from the frame buffer. It was using pixel
buffer objects by directly calling into GL to hit a fast blit path in
Intel's driver. This should no longer be necessary with the latest
Mesa because the normal read pixels path now has a fast path to just
memcpy the data. Using PBOs in that case just adds an extra
indirection because the data is read into an intermediate buffer and
then copied back out again.
We want to be able to remove the dependency on linking against libGL
directly from Gnome Shell because that will not work if Cogl is
actually using GLES. Also libGL includes GLX which means gnome-shell
ends up with a hard dependency on Xlib which hinders the goal of
getting Gnome Shell to be a Wayland compositor.

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.
Depending on the exact linker options and versions, rpath's written
into the binary may, or may not, be honored by dlopen(). Work around
this by simply linking the gnome-shell binary to gnome-shell-js, since
then dlopen() doesn't need to search paths.

This allows us running uninstalled. While we're at it, though, remove
JHBUILD_TYPELIBDIR. jhbuild shell should add its own stuff to GI_TYPELIB_PATH,
and we don't want to half reimplement jhbuild. The wrapper script should be
solely for the case of running from the source directory, and not care about
jhbuild at all.
Introduce a new gnome-shell-perf-tool, which can be used instead
of the old gnome-shell-jhbuild wrapper to gather data about gnome-shell
performance and submit to shell-perf.gnome.org. This runs the
shell with no extra setup beyond the WM_CLASS filter, so it can
be used for a jhbuild setup or for an installed shell.
If the user was inactive while a notification was shown, we show the summary
when the user becomes active again. This ensures that we inform the user of
the existance of new notifications that the user might have missed.
When the user comes back from away, the summary is now only shown if it has
new notifications.

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.

ConsoleKit is being obsoleted by systemd. Accordingly port the CK logic
in the gnome-shell automount manager to systemd-logind APIs.
This makes use of systemd-logind's native C APIs which are much easier
to use than the D-Bus APIs in this case, and much faster too (since they
are synchronous and directly query the kernel for the information we
need). The dependency is compile time optional, and in order to be nice
to the Debian folks g-s compiled with this enabled fill automatically
fall back to CK support on systems lacking systemd.
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.

For the Intel drivers, using glReadPixels() to read into client-memory
directly from the frame buffer is much slower than creating a pixel
buffer, copying into that, and then mapping that for reading. On other
drivers, the two approaches are likely to be similar in speed. Create
a ShellScreenGrabber abstraction that uses pixel buffers if available.
Use that for screenshots and screen recording.

GDBusActionGroup api has changed again, adapt to that.
Also, use a GActionMuxer to add the 'app.' prefix to actions,
instead of manually stripping it out of the action names.
In the future, the muxer will also contain per-window actions
with a 'win.' prefix.
It was always taking the first .service.in file to create all .service
files: org.gnome.Shell.CalendarServer.service.in was the only one being
used.

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

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

A network agent is a component that stores network secrets (like
wifi passwords) in the session keyring. This commit adds an
implementation of it to be used by the shell network dialogs. It
handles most of the keyring stuff, delegating the UI to upper layers.

This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.

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.

The sniffer is a simple helper process, activated as a DBus service,
that tries to crawl as many files as possible in the provided target
directory (i.e. the new mount's root), for a maximum amount of time -
which is set here to 1.5 seconds (i.e. it will crawl either all the
files in the directory tree, or as many as it can before the specified
timeout expires).
Crawled files are ordered by their content type, and a generic estimation
of the type of files composing the directory is returned to the caller,
using generic 'x-content/*' mimetypes.
The process will then set an autoquit timeout on itself, which can be
disabled by setting the env variable HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_PERSIST for
debugging purposes. The HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_DEBUG env variable can also be
set to enable debugging output.

jhbuild will default to srcdir != builddir in the future for various
reasons.
The enum generation rules were just broken and both did
cd $(srcdir) and $(addprefix $(srcdir)).
Also, remove an unnecessary $(addprefix) from the GIR sources; thanks
to Dan Winship for pointing out that make will look in both srcdir and
builddir, so it's not necessary to add a prefix explicitly. Doing so
breaks obviously when adding the sourcedir to a builddir file.

The tests were broken again, because since Shell-0.1.gir now has
'shared-library="libgnome-shell.so"', the references to Shell.PerfLog
ended up pulling in libgnome-shell in addition to the copy of
shell-perf-log.c that libjs-test was built with.
Fix all this hopefully forever by just making run-js-test link to
libgnome-shell.

Add an uninstall-hook to undo the effect of install-exec-hook, and add
an $(AM_V_GEN) to the rule that copies either gnome-shell-real or
gnome-shell-jhbuild to gnome-shell.

Alt+F2 restart was failing after a rebuild when running from the
source tree because it would try to restart
".libs/lt-gnome-shell-real", which didn't exist yet. Fix this by using
"libtool --mode=execute" at build time to regenerate that file.

When jhbuilding, we use a jhbuilt gobject-introspection, so the
default typelib path is the jhbuild prefix, not /usr. So if we are
using NetworkManager from packages, we need to adjust GI_TYPELIB_PATH
to include it.

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.
