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.

Commit 64b2b4a7d4 changed the monitor layout handling, resulting
in some layout errors due to a subtle change in memory handling:
when zooming a window in the overview, the available zoom area is
calculated by subtracting the panel height from the primary monitor
area. This area used to be a copy of the monitor rect, but as now
the rect itself is returned, zooming a window on the primary monitor
repeatedly modifies the monitor rect, leading to layout errors in
various parts of the shell.
Fix by using a copy when calculating the available zoom area.

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.

Currently the user has to find an empty spot in the workspace
to be able to launcha new instance of an app using dnd.
This is unnecessary hard, so just allow dropping on windows too.

Workspaces used to contain the desktop background, so when a
workspace was removed, we animated its actor to an off-screen
position before destroying it. As the background has been
removed a while ago, we can destroy the actor directly.

The mouse-wheel zooming "easter egg" breaks horribly when you
drag a window, due to ugly lightbox reparenting tricks it uses.
For now, just end any zoom before we drag the window around.

If a user is fast and mouses over a window while the workspace thumbnail
animations are playing, it can be frustrating when the close button won't
appear at the end of the animation.

Don't do an individual hover fixup for every window overlay, instead
just use the new global.sync_hover() to fix up hovers once we have
finished showing the overview.

We create a Workspace with a null metaWorkspace for each
non-primary monitor, showing the windows on these monitors.
These are saved in WorkspaceView.extraWorkspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
This means a bunch of windows will not be visible at all in the overview.
Those will be added back with per-screen workspaces on the non-primary
monitors.

Do a basic job of converting font sizes from pixels to points, so they
will scale will the global GNOME scale factor. Some other sizes that are
clearly related to the font sizes are changed to ems, but no comprehensive
attempt is made to get rid of px units.

If we're dragging a window around and we need to reposition the windows,
due to e.g. the sliding in of the thumbnails or some other reason, then we
need to consider the original position of the dragged window, rather than
the currend drag position. Otherwise we will unnecessarily rearrange the
other windows for instance on snap-back if you moved the dragged window
past some other window.

We currently show the workspace in the overview in a rectangle
with the same aspect ratio as the screen. Originally this was
probably done since it showed the desktop, but we don't do this
anymore, and the positioning of the windows in the overview is
strictly a grid, so its not in any way related to monitor geometry.
Additionally, in the multihead case the screen aspect ratio is
very different from the overview monitor geometry, so a lot of
space is lost.
So, instead we just fill the entire inner rectangle of the overview
with the workspace. However, the way the zoom into and out of the
workspace right now is by scaling the workspace so that it covers
the entire monitor. This cannot really work anymore when the workspace
is a different aspect ratio. Furthermore the coordinates of the
window clone actors are of two very different types in the "original
window" case and the "window in a slot case". One is screen relative,
the other is workspace relative. This makes it very hard to compute
the cost of window motion distance in computeWindowMotion.
In order to handle this we change the way workspace actor positioning
and scaling work. All workspace window clone actors are stored in
true screen coordingates, both the original window positions and the
in-a-slot ones. Global scaling of the workspace is never done, we
just reposition everything in both the initial zoom and when the
controls appear from the side.
There is one issue in the initial and final animations, which is that
the clip region we normally have for the workspacesView will limit the
animation of the clones to/from the original positions, so we disable
the clip region during these animations.

When we are dragging a window over its current workspace or workspace
thumbnail, we show show "no drop possible" feedback instead
of "move here" feedback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642329
Make calling workspace.setReservedSlot(null) do nothing if the slot was
already null; this improves efficiency and more importantly chills out some
weird reentrancy at the end of drag and drop that removes a window from
a workspace.
With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)

When checking the type of a DND source, instead of checking
'instanceof Workspaces.WindowClone' accept any actor with realWindow
and metaWindow properties. This will be useful to support a separate
type of actor dragged from workspace thumbnails.

Commit 91d8a32f25 let WindowClone forward the size-changed signal
of the "real" window, disconnecting the signal handler when the
clone is destroyed. In case the clone was destroyed due to the
MetaWindowActor being closed, this results in a warning
(gsignal.c:2392: instance `0x2a3fac0' has no handler with id `2955').
Handle the case where the original window is destroyed before its
clone.
Windows may change their size while the overview is open, e.g. when
switching panels in the control center. Make sure that the preview's
position and overlay are updated in that case.

Given that the grid view is gone there is no point in animating the
window previews on all workspaces anymore so just do it for the current
one avoid taking a slow down caused by animating windows on other workspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637353
Delegate the emission of the window-drag-begin/window-drag-end
signals to overview functions, as done already for other items.
This will enable objects to react to those signals without having
access to the workspace objects / the workspaces view.

The new layout does no longer support view switching, so merge
GenericWorkspacesView and SingleView, and remove MosaicView.
Also rename or remove workspace properties and functions which
are now unused.
The grid will have a comeback with the new DND behavior.

While scaling the desktop background with the window previews represents
workspaces quite intuitively, the approach is not without problems.
As window previews in the overview behave quite differently to "real"
windows, the representation of workspaces as miniature versions of
"real" workspaces is flawed. The scaling also makes the transitions
to and from the overview much more visually expensive, without adding
much benefit.
Leaving the background in place provides more visual stability to the
transitions and emphasizes the distinctive behavior of elements in the
overview.

The code to draw the root background has now been moved into Mutter,
with added smarts to not draw obscured portions. Remove the old
version of the code and clone the Mutter background actor to draw
the background in the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634836
MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.

Although within St itself there are situations where the semantics of
these functions (return TRUE or FALSE and return the actual value in
an out parameter) is useful, it's mostly just annoying at the
application level, where you generally know that the CSS property is
going to specified, and there is no especially sane fallback if it's
not.
So rename the current methods to lookup_color, lookup_double, and
lookup_length, and add new get_color, get_double, and get_length
methods that don't take an "inherit" parameter, and return their
values directly. (Well, except for get_color, due to the lack of (out
caller-allocates) in gjs.)
And update the code to use either the old or new methods as appropriate.
