When connecting to virtual machines with usb-device redirection, such as Spice
enabled vms, automount may get in the way. Specifically if auto-usbredir is
enabled in the vm-viewer, then the usbredir code and the automount code race
for who gets to the device first.
If the automount code wins the race this is a problem, since usbredir causes a
device-disconnect (iow the usb mass storage driver sees an unplug), so in the
end usbredir always wins, and we end up with a non clean potentially corrupt
filesystem. Also see:

There for the need exists to be able to inhibit gnome-shell's automounting,
since all other inhibits run through gnome-session, I've chosen to do the same
for the automount-inhibiting. I've also submitted a patch to gnome-session to
reserve flag value 16 for this, see bug 678595.
This patch adds support to gnome-shell to honor this new inhibit flag.

The log messages about presence changes unnecessarily cluttered the
notification.
Instead, we now present the presence states (online, offline, away, busy)
with an icon placed right next to the avatar. We also no longer show
notifications on presence changes.

When selecting "Open Calendar" in the date menu, the configured
application is launched via command line, so we don't get any
startup notification. If Evolution is used as calendar application,
launch it via the .desktop file added by the last commit instead in
order to fix the issue.

By disconnecting the 'notify::connection-status' signal as soon as the account
is disabled, we were missing the signal telling us when the status was moving
from CONNECTING/CONNECTED to DISCONNECTED and so the status icon was never
updated.
What we really want is to disconnect the signal when the account is removed
from the account manager as we don't care about it any more.

Use our native JS error system in the "extension system" API, only
using the signal/log-based error reporting at the last mile. Additionally,
delete the directory if loading the extension failed, and report the error
back over DBus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679099
Instead of using the 'extension-state-changed' signal to relay errors,
use DBus's native error mechanism to inform the method caller that the
call has failed. This requires making the method actually asynchronous
so that we don't block the browser, which is stuck waiting for a reply
from the browser plugin. To ensure this, we need to modify the browser
plugin API to ensure its extesion installation method is asynchronous.
Additionally, this lets us remove the awful, broken hacks that we used
when a user clicked the "Cancel" button, replacing it by a DBus return
value.

When the extension downloader was originally designed, the information
downloading part was inserted at the last minute, along with the modal
dialog as a security feature to make sure an extension didn't silently
get installed on the user's machines either due to a security issue in
the browser-plugin, or an XSS issue on the extensions website. Correct
the mistake I made when writing the code; instead of dropping an error
on the floor, log it correctly. This "bug" has already bitten a number
of users who forgot to configure proxy settings in the control center.

Pam seems to give us different strings, sometimes 'Password:',
sometimes 'Password: '. Look for both of these when replacing
them with a translated prompt.

The current position below "System Settings" is problematic - the
items are unrelated, and misclicks will result in a scary system
modal dialog that has to be cancelled.
Move items around a bit to avoid this problem.

Right now the "move to workspace" keyboard shortcut transition isn't smooth. It
shows the window disappearing, hopping to the next workspace, and then sliding
into view. "Pin" the window to the stage while the animation is in progress,
then release it afterwards.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660839
Install a custom handler for move-to-workspace-* keybindings that
shows the workspace switcher, which gives the user a sense of
direction when navigating with the keyboard.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674104
Most of code implementing workspace switches was repeated with
minor differences on each direction. Instead, consolidate it
and use the new meta_workspace_get_neighbor.

When using dbus-glib, single return values were special-cased to
be returned verbatim rather than as array with a single element.
This is no longer true since switching to GDBus, so fix the places
where the change was overlooked.

We strongly expect applications to use the same values for the
'Title'/'Icon' fields in their search provider .ini file as the
'Name'/'Icon' fields in their .desktop file. Rather than requiring
applications to duplicate those fields, allow them to specify a
'DesktopId' field instead to point to the corresponding .desktop
file, which makes it possible to ship search provider files without
translatable strings (which is nice given that merging translations
into search provider files lacks a standard rule).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678816
Currently we pass an icon name for the 'icon' parameter of the
RemoteSearchProvider constructor. In hindsight, using a GIcon
instead will give us a bit more flexibility, so change it.

Use the ShellMountOperation dialogs we have to implement a DBus API
allowing other processes to display them.
Since GtkMountOperation now tries to call into our DBus implementation,
every application that uses a GtkMountOperation will gain integration
with our shell dialogs (but will still handle the actual communication
with GVfs).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678516
Wait until the completion of the mount operation before dismissing the
passphrase dialog, so in case it fails, we can re-use the same dialog
with an error message (like e.g. PolicyKit auth dialogs) instead of
showing a brand new one.

Wifi and mobile broadband have signal indicators and are thus
more useful than vpn icons in the panel. Therefore, in the case
we have both wifi/3g and VPN we prefer the former as the "primary
icon" and add a lock next to it.
Behavior when VPN is added to wired or other connections is still
preserved: the wired icon is replaced by vpn.

Sorting by strength is what the other OSes do by default, and it
provides a better UX (by offering your hotspot and router before
the one from your neighbor).

Only apply the allowAutorun flag for transient notifications, not for
mounts that end up in the resident notification well.
Also, stop looking at volume.can_automount() here, since we already
checked that previously in the mounter, and allowAutorun is enough.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660595
Previously, a volume was being ignored from autorun if one of these two
conditions were met:
- its mount root file had a native scheme and was mounted in a
non-hidden location
- it had a volume that could have been automounted, and had a flag set
by the shell to allow autorun
In order to effectively ignore volumes that we don't mount ourselves
from our notification system, we have to meet both conditions at the
same time instead.

This is a fallout from some changes in MessageTray.Source, which now
requires either defining the iconName/iconType properties on it, or
implementing createNotificationIcon, and we're not doing any of those.
Fix it by storing the gicon of the source object and using a helper
method to create the icon actor on demand, to avoid any case when the
same actor might be added twice to different containers.

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.
