These do some some signals connection and monitor layout tracking
that we forget to disconnect when the magnifier is disconnected.
This causes warnings if enabling the magnifier, disabling it,
switching to another tty, and back. (Presumably also happens for
monitor hotplugs).
This signal should just stay connected as long as it's needed,
so add a setEnabled() method on the CrossHairs actor that we
can hook on the magnifier.

When implementing a D-Bus method synchronously, regular JS methods are
used. That is, whatever the method returns is passed as return value
to the method invocation.
However for asynchronous implementations, we need to explicitly return
a value to the invocation, otherwise the caller will wait until it times
out eventually.

The appDisplay used to be accessible via the viewSelector, but
that is gone now. Commit c09c070b15 adjusted the code, but the
replacement uses a Main.overview.appDisplay accessor that never
existed, whoops.
Fix this by exposing a new selectApp() method directly on the
overview, so we don't have to shuffle the appDisplay through
controls → overviewActor → overview.

With Xwayland started on demand, mutter/gnome-shell will spawn Xwayland
and GNOME settings daemon Xsettings.
Currently, gnome-shell uses a timeout of 5 seconds before canceling the
launch and declare failure to start X11 services.
While 5 seconds may seem like a lot of time, when this is executed on a
virtual machine part of a QA tests under load, this causes random
failures.
There is no good value here, we could increase the timeout but it will
always remain racy. Instead, remove the timeout, systemd itself already
has a timeout mechanism (with a much longer wait time).

Right now we pop the modal immediately when closing, so the key-release
event of the Escape key ends up in the focus window which may consume it
for leaving fullscreen mode or similar.
We can avoid that in many cases by keeping the modal grab until the end

the grab is still in place (provided animations are enabled).

Often, when using multiple monitors, the thumbnails box may be
destroyed before the 'hidden' signal of the Overview is emitted,

Currently, handling of touch devices in the app grid is a bit awkward,
paging by dragging the view can only happen if started from the gaps
between icons, trying to drag from an icon will trigger DnD, and popping
up the menu takes over it all.
Instead, have the app grid actions play this game of rock-paper-scissors:
- Fast swipes on icons trigger scrolling, beats DnD and menu
- Slower press-and-drag on icons trigger DnD, beats scrolling and menu
- Long press triggers menu, beats scrolling, is beaten by DnD
This allows quick swipes to handle navigation, while still allowing the
fine grained operations. DnD, when triggered, dismisses the menu, if
shown.
This all could probably be nicer with a more stateful gesture framework,
we're not there yet though.

The switcherPopups use _next() and _previous() to get the items
in the text direction. I. e. with LTR _next() gets the right item;
on RTL it gets the left item. This doesn't work well with RTL when using

Pressing Left Arrow should still move left regardless of text direction.

If for some reason the xserver failed to start, mutter/gnome-shell
should not attempt to connect to the X11 display otherwise it will
lock up in XCB.
An indication of such a premature failure of the xserver is when the X11
services fail to start.
Return the status so that the caller can cancel the connection in time
and avoid the lockup of mutter/gnome-shell in case of failure.
This, however, makes the X11 services a critical component to start
Xwayland, meaning that a failure to start those services for any other
reason than the xserver failing to start would still prevent Xwayland
and therefore X11 clients to run in Wayland. This is however a lesser
issue than mutter/gnome-shell locking up.

Previously the workarea was only set on construction and then never
updated. As a result the preferred width and height as well as the
allocation were based on an outdated workarea size when it changed after
construction. This for example was happening during the startup
animation, for which the WorkspaceLayout is constructed before the panel
is shown. This caused the workspace in the overview to be slightly
smaller when it is first shown and the overview closing animation to
not expand the workspace to the correct size the first time it is
closed.

In the nested session the startup animation sometimes fails, weirdly
that always happens to me when running a freshly built gnome-shell the
first time. The reason it fails is that mutter fails to aquire a pointer
grab from the xserver, XIGrabDevice() is unsuccessful.
A simple workaround for this race condition in the xserver is to just
grab the devices a bit later, that is after the startups animation
instead of before it.
This was also tested with disabled animations, and seems to work just as
well in that case.

Some drag actor parents might change their width to 0 after the drag
actor has been removed. If the drag is now canceled and the drag actor
is animated to return to the current parent position and scale, this
scale can not be determined and falls back to 1.0. This might be wrong
and can result in the drag actor being too large/small at the end of the
return animation.
To avoid this calculate the scale of the parent by recursively
calculating the product of its parents individual scales.

We want to clip the Workspace actor in the appGrid state of the overview
in order to make sure windows that overflow the monitor don't spill out.
So far we had commit b1970b95b8 for that.
Now since the last commit, window previews always slightly overflow the
allocation with their icons. That means a part of the window icon gets
clipped away as soon as the transition to the appGrid starts, which
looks weird.
Fix that bug in the transition by slightly extending the clip downwards
when animating between the window picker and the app grid state. The
extra height we extend the clip by is controlled by the overviewState,
which means we extend the clip by the full icon overlap in the window
picker state, but don't extend the clip at all when in the app grid
state.

We want to use as much space as possible for showing window previews in
the overview, and the title and close buttons of those windows are only
visible on hover, so we can show them above anything if we want.
On both primary monitors and secondary monitors, there's a certain free
space available towards the bottom edge of the monitor (on the primary
monitor we show the dash there, and secondary monitors just scale down
the Workspaces). We can make use of this by checking how much free space
there is available from the bottom edge of our allocation to the bottom
edge of the monitor, and then aligning the window previews to make full
use of this space.
So stop adding any padding to the edges of the Workspace, which will
make the windows a lot larger and completely fill the Workspaces
allocation.
The left, top and right monitor edges should always be far enough away
to accomodate the close button and hover scale-up of the window. Only
with the bottom edge of the monitor we have to be a bit more careful
(the overflowing height of the window title is quite big), so there we
check if enough free space is available. If there isn't enough free
space, we simply apply a bit of bottom padding again and shift the
window up.

The current gstreamer pipeline performs quite bad on slower machines and
is dropping lots of frames, improve the pipeline by changing a few
things:
- Use threads for videoconvert and improve speed of videoconvert by
disabling some unneeded things
- Add a queue before the encoding step, this allows the encoder to work
at its own pace and will lead to a lot more stability
- Remove the fixed quantizer and only set a max quantizer, this helps
quite a bit with performance
- Change the deadline parameter of vp8enc to 1: This makes the encoder
go into real time mode, which will make it a lot faster
- Set cpu-used to 16, the maximum possible value.
- Set static-threshold to 1000, static-threshold is the motion detection
threshold, and while a value of 100 is recommended for screencasting in
the gstreamer documentation (see [1]), using 1000 appears to perform a
lot better and still outputs fairly good quality
- Set a larger buffer size than the default size, this seems to get a
bit more stability during high load scenarios
All in all, those changes make the pipeline drop no more frames when
recording at 30 FPS and 2K screen resolution. That was tested on a
fairly recent mobile core-i5 processor.
Also, because we now have two %T replacement strings for the number of
threads, we need to switch to replaceAll(). For that to work, we have to
put the %T matching expression into quotes.

`ThumbnailsBox` listens for the `showing` signal from the `Overview` to
create its thumbnails and destroys them on the `hide` signal. Since the
`showing` signal can be emitted multiple times when switching between
the shown and hidden state without ever fully completing the transition,
this will cause `_createThumbnails` to be called multiple times, each
time adding another set of workspaces.

When starting a gesture to open the overview while a transition to hide
the overview is running, Overview._shown will be first set to false when
starting the transition and then to true by the gesture before the
`onComplete` callback is called. The `onComplete` callback in this case
is `Overview._hideDone()` which starts a transition to show the overview
again which also emits the `showing` signal. Since the gesture emits a
`showing` signal as well, this results in two consecutive `showing`
signals without a `hiding` signal in between.
This breaks the `searchControler` which adds a key press handler to
start the search on `showing` and removes it on `hiding`. So every time
this happens a new handler that will never be removed is added,
resulting in the first key press being repeated.

For the screensaver service, it is quite normal that a consumer only

The result is that we don't know about the consumer, and shut down

If this happens, we break functionality like gnome-settings-daemon's

For the primary monitor workspace thumbnail, we must keep the monitor
index in sync with what is currently the primary monitor index,
otherwise we might end up trying to move windows to non-existing
monitors.
For example, if the primary monitor index was 1 when the thumbnail box
was created, but later, the primary monitor index changed to 0, with the
other monitor being turned off, moving a window to one of the workspaces
on the workspace thumbnail, gnome-shell would attempt to move it to the
monitor with the index the primary monitor had in the past, with the
problem being that that monitor no longer exists.
Fix this by listening on the 'monitors-changed' signal on the layout
manager, and update the monitor index of the primary workspace
thumbnails box. Make sure to connect to the signal before creating the
thumbnails box, as the thumbnails box itself will listen to the signal
and recreate its actual thumbnails, and it must do this with the up to
date monitor index.

When OverviewControls goes from HIDDEN to APP_GRID, it constantly checks
if AppDisplay needs to be visible or not by checking the current overview
state is bigger than WINDOW_PICKER. Turns out in this case this check is
problematic, because when the current state trespasses WINDOW_PICKER, the
layout manager will have already positioned AppDisplay halfway to its final
position.
Use either the final or the current state, whichever is biggest, when updating
the AppDisplay visibility. It optionally allows passing the overview state

Window previews looks slightly offset to the left and top right now
because we don't use the same padding on all edges of the Workspace. We
do that because the oversize and overlap of the window previews is
different on all sides (for example the bottom overlap is very large
because there we show the window title).
To make sure window previews are always perfectly centered on the
Workspace, only use the largest one of the oversize values as spacing
and padding, and add the larger one of the overlap values for the
vertical padding in addition.
With this, we now center the window previews on the Workspace while
never overpainting the allocation of that Workspace to show overlays.
