So far we have assumed that whether or not a window is interesting
is static. In general this is the case, but as it is legal for the
underlying properties to change at any time, there are of course
offenders that actually do this (flash I'm looking at ya).
While we used the property to determine whether a window should be
tracked or not, the worst case was showing windows that should be
hidden or missing windows that should be shown.
However as we nowadays base an app's running state on the number of
interesting windows, we need to be more careful in order to avoid
ending up with running apps with no windows.

The code from shell_window_tracker_is_window_interesting() is equivalent
of MetaWindow's skip-taskbar property, so use it to avoid code duplication.

With the lastest ShellApp changes, an app is considered stopped
when the last "interesting" window is closed. However the app
may still track non-interesting windows, so if we unref the
running state on the state transition, we hit an assertion later-on
when trying to remove the non-interesting window.
Fix this by keeping the running state around until the last window
is closed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722840
An app should be considered running if it has at least one "interesting"
window, however the code considers an app running if it has at least
one tracked window. This was fine while we were only tracking interesting
windows, but since commit d21aa0d85f this is no longer the case.
So keep track of the number of interesting windows as well and use that
to determine the running state.

It is possible to associate an application's window with a different
application using the transient_for hint. However we currently only
consider the hint in get_window_app() and not when making the original
association, which opens the door to some confusing inconsistencies;
for instance, get_window_app() will not necessarily return the same
value for all windows retrieved via shell_app_get_windows().
Fix this by looking at the transient_for hint when making the original
association, not just in get_window_app().

Using the new list_actions() API in Gio, add entries for static
actions specified in .desktop files in the right-click app menus,
in the dash, app well and search.

Use a new ShellGLSLQuad actor class to build a RadialEffect that can be
enabled on Lightboxes to achieve a radial effect similar to the overview
one. Then enable it for modal dialogs.

StWidget::popup-menu is emitted when Menu/<Shift>F10 is pressed,
not released (for consistency with Gtk+), so we need to forward
that. Note that for key press we don't emit the matching key
release, because the app will take a grab and get the event directly
from X when the key is physicall released.

Since commit 1ebb162a00 moved JS sources into resources,
the extension-prefs tool was broken. To fix it, we would either
need to generate an external GResource in addition to the generated
C code and teach gjs-console about loading it before evaluating
the script, or turn gnome-shell-extension-prefs into a binary with
the JS resources compiled in.

Specifying the session mode on the command-line doesn't play
well with session management (since the saved session desktop
file well either drop the specified session mode, or force it
always, even if the user picked a different mode at the login
screen)
This commit adds support for specifying the session mode via an
enviroment variable. For now, keep the old command line interface
for backward compatibility

All get_app_from_*() helpers are transfer full, but
get_app_from_gapplication_id() was directly returning the result
of lookup_app(), which is transfer none.

The hash table must keep a copy of the IDs, because the GAppInfos
are unreferenced (and thus freed) at the end of the function.
This was possibly not a problem if the GAppInfos were referencing
the memory-mapped cache, but it becomes one for regularly parsed
desktop files in ~/.local.

get_secrets_keyring_cb() contained an optimization (copied over from
nm-applet) that avoided a D-Bus round-trip when NetworkManager sent
secrets hints that were not satisified by the user. This code did
not properly handle empty hints though, and proceeded to always
request new secrets whenever empty hints were sent. Remove this
code entirely since the complexity is not worth it (per Jasper).
Second, get_secrets_keyring_cb() was mishandling VPN secrets which
were marked as "always ask". Because the VPN secrets are not GObject
properties because they cannot be pre-defined, they are passed in
a hash table that is a GObject property marked 'secret'. Unfortunately,
that means that the shell agent cannot determine their secret flags.
But since the VPN plugin auth dialogs have much better information
about what's required than the shell agent does, always ask the VPN
auth dialogs to handle the secrets requests after grabbing any that
already exist from the keyring. This is also what nm-applet does.

Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do
means that we may get properties that should be based on all windows,
like the last time the application was used, wrong.
Just track all windows and filter out non-interesting windows manually
in the one place we actually care about the difference.

Sorting actors by the distance in the axis of movement first and against
the axis otherwise means that if we have a situation like:
A F
B
where "F" is the focused actor, and it slightly overlaps with B vertically,
then we'll choose "B" to go left, rather than "A", which is most likely
what the user intended.
This is especially apparent in the overview where slight window size
differences mean we might not get an exact grid shape.

Rather than scanning all apps for searching, use Ryan's new desktop
file index and the glib support APIs for app searching instead of our
own system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711631
While unfortunate that we still have to scan all apps with get_all(),
support for this feature will be short-lived, so hopefully we can drop
it in the future as new apps adapt to the desktop file / app ID
recommendations.
For now, simply scan all desktop IDs.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711626
Rather than create all ShellApps up-front, create them lazily. We really
had no reason to do this before as we were scanning GMenu to get all the
apps, but doing this can remove a need for get_all, which is slow and
memory-hungry.
