Build gnome-shell as a binary linked against libmutter-wm, instead of
a module to be loaded by libmutter-wm. Move the majority of
initialization-type stuff from gnome_shell_plugin_start() into main().
We still build libgnome-shell as a shared library, so that the linker
doesn't discard all the methods that are never called from C.

Instead of defining rules manually, use the included make support,
which means Makefiles are less prone to API changes, support
verbosity correctly (instead of inconsistently hardcoding --quiet),
are cleaner to read, and emit GISCAN/GICOMP instead of GEN (which
is nicer).

The current gnome-shell.in script has a huge amount of
unnecessary complexity for the installed, normal case. Fix
this by adding a configure option (defaulting to false) that
installs a simple, obvious wrapper script around mutter.
We do change the gnome-shell build setup to pass this option
by default for jhbuild.

Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.

Since Ubuntu patches clutter-1.0.pc to remove x11 from the requires,

ST and the shell recorder.

A PolicyKit Authentication Agent is a construct used to authenticate
one or more identities. See the PolicyKit documentation for more
details on authentication agents and how PolicyKit works:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/
Since gjs does not support subclassing a GObject class from Javascript
code, we bring in a native class to bridge the VFuncs to GObject
signals. Additionally, this native class also queues up authentication
requests so the user of the native class only has to deal with a
single outstanding request at any one time.
The file js/ui/polkitAuthenticationAgent.js introduces a singleton
that listens for authentication requests via the native class. This
singleton uses the PolkitAgent machinery to do the actual heavy-weight
lifting required for authentication (essentially a PAM conversation).
We currently don't allow the user to pick the identity to be
authenticated.

The official GNOME moduleset builds evolution and e-d-s against
GTK+-3, so libedataserverui-1.2 is no longer part of the release.
As GNOME Shell can actually be build with either version, prefer
libedataserverui-3.0 if it is available and allow falling back
to 1.2. if it isn't.

Add an entry in config.js.in for PACKAGE_VERSION and GJS_VERSION,

Mutter no longer optionally builds with GTK+-2.0, so we don't
need to check for it. And the specific form of the check broke
with recent changes to the naming of libraries for GTK+.
In order to take advantage of clipped redraws (only redraw the
parts that actually changed), we have to inform clutter about
our paint_volume by implementing the get_paint_volume virtual
method.
As this feature had been added in in clutter 1.5.x we now require
that.

We were going to great effort to include the normal directories in the
GJS search path and the code to to do this broke recently when
jsdir and jsnativedir were moved to gjs-internals-1.0.pc. However, it
was actually unnecessary since the standard directories are appended
to the default path.
(We continue to use a GNOME_SHELL_JS envvar separate from GJS_PATH
for the Shell to enable the somewhat unlikely case where someone wants
to invoke the shell specifying a GJS_PATH.)

ST makes use of GTK+ for input methods and for icon themes; therefore
we have need to initialize GTK+ in order to test these parts of Clutter.
Instead of LD_PRELOADING our module, use a separately compiled executable
that links to the UI components in GNOME Shell, initializes Clutter and
GTK+ and hooks them together.
Getting all the symbols from St and the GUI components exported for
use via GJS requires a bit of contortion: we need to actually link the
St convenience library into a shared library and link the executable
to that since there is no way with libtool to take a convenience library
and put all its symbols into an executable --whole-archive style.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633657
Gjs changed to separate the "basic" API from "embedder" API. Unfortunately
due to our use of the importer API and a few other bits, we need to use
the "module" one. In the future I plan to extend the core API to
support this use case.
Add volume control indicator which uses API from gnome-volume-control
to interact with PulseAudio and shows both input and output volumes.
Also adds a small wrapper around libcanberra in ShellGlobal, used by the
volume indicator to provide auditive feedback.

The library is introspected, and should not require using
Pulseaudio directly.

If mutter was compiled with GTK+-2.0, the build will fail with a
rather cryptic message - better fail early during configure with
a proper error message.

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

Update the GNOME Shell version to 2.31.2, and make corresponding
updates to dependencies:
clutter => 1.2.8
mutter => 2.31.2
gobject-introspection => 0.6.11

To replace all calls to deprecated code, GTK+ 2.20 is required - add
some basic compatibility code, so that is still possible to build the
shell with GTK+ 2.18 when not using -DGSEAL_ENABLE.

- Switch clutter branch in the moduleset to master
- Replace deprecated cogl_texture/material_unref() with

Brute force merge these two by essentially replacing St.TextureCache
with a (renamed) Shell.TextureCache.
One function was added for convenience, namely "st_texture_cache_load_file_simple".
St.TextureCache had a function to load a texture from a filename, and it
returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this. This
function is better.

Add StIMText, which is a drop-in replacement for ClutterIMText but
uses GtkIMContext instead of ClutterIMContext.
StIMText doesn't have preedit support (would need ClutterText
changes), so isn't going to be useful for complicated input methods,
but is good enough to get dead keys and similar working.

ShellTheme replaces both StStyle and ccss_stylesheet_t.
The interface StStylable is replaced by usage of ShellThemeNode.
A concrete node class allows some significant optimizations of property
inheritance that would have been much more difficult to achieve with
the highly abstract pair of StStylable and ccss_node_t.
Some operations that were previously on StStylable (like the
::style-changed signal) are directly on NtkWidget.
Custom properties are no longer registered as param-specs; instead you
call directly into shell theme node to look up a length or color:
shell_theme_node_get_length (theme_node, "border-spacing", FALSE, &spacing);
The dependency on libccss is dropped, while preserving all existing
functionality and adding proper parsing and inheritance of font properties
and proper inheritance for the 'color' property.
Some more javascript tests for CSS functionality are added; workarounds for
a CSS bug where *.some-class was needed instead of .some-class are removed.

Infrastructure for localization; hook up intltool, create po/

This is a start at the "Active Appliction Item" component of the
shell design. Currently we just show the currently focused
application. When launching a new application, we show that as well.
The implementation here is not complete; basically when launching
we de-focus the active one, and the application well shows the
most recent startup sequence.
This kind of fails in the case of multiple sequences, and we
also don't correctly de-focus the current window in other
launch paths.
When AM_SILENT_RULES is available, use it to strip down the output
of make so we can see what's important rather than gigantic long
compile lines.
Use 'make V=1' to see everything again.

Before, we looked up application data in several ways; the ShellAppSystem
exported just application ids (though it parsed the .desktop files internally),
and we'd create a Gio.DesktopAppInfo object (reparsing the desktop file again),
wrapping that inside a JavaScript AppInfo class, and finally the AppDisplay
would again parse the .desktop file to get the categories.
Also, to look up applications by id previously, we traversed the entire
menu structure each time.
Some qualities such as the NoDisplay flag were not easily exposed in the old
system. And if we wanted to expose them we'd have to change several different
application information wrapper classes.
All in all, it was quite suboptimal.
The theme of this new code is basically "just use libgnome-menus". We do
not call into Gio for app lookups anymore. The new Shell.AppInfo class
is a disguised pointer for the GMenuTreeEntry item.
To fix the caching, we keep a simple hash table of desktop id -> ShellAppInfo.
