If the call to settings.get_connection_by_path in
ensureActiveConnectionProps returns null, we'll hit a JS error here.
Seems to happen always when activating a VPN connection. Avoid that.
Giovanni says:
"I believe this is papering over an existing bug, but it's possible for
settings.get_connection_by_path() to legitimately return null (if the
connection is owned by a different user and invisible to the current
one), so the fix is correct anyway."

The top bar's network menu only supports a subset of device types
supported by NetworkManager. While not having lesser used options
in the menu itself is perfectly reasonable, not showing any network
icon at all in the top bar when the system is fully connected is
weird.

Any network devices appear as top level items in the system status
menu, so on system with an unusually high number of devices, the
menu can end up exceeding the available screen height. While this
is a corner case, leaving important system actions unreachable is
bad. The system menu does not lend itself to scrolling, so handle
this case instead by summarizing sections ("n connections") where
the number of devices exceeds a threshold.

And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

If Bluetooth is on but there aren't connected devices, the status in the
menu reads "Not in Use". This is potentially confusing: it's a negative
statement, even though Bluetooth is on. It also sits uneasily (and looks
even more confusing) next to the submenu item "Turn Off".
Changing the string to "On" is better.

NM upstream would like to reduce periodic scanning, and that means
that clients should request scans themselves while their WiFi list
is open. Similar to the Windows and macOS WiFi dialogs/lists.

We only connect to the corresponding property notifications after both
Client and RemoteSettings are ready, so we may miss the initial signal
emission. Make sure to pick up the connections in this case to fix the
network indicator not showing up.

We currently show the orientation lock button when an accelerometer
is present, however gnome-settings-daemon's xrandr plugin only applies
rotation when a builtin monitor is present. Update the button's
visibility to match gnome-settings-daemon.

Let's make it really simple and ask user interactively, once. This
simplifies things for:
* Privacy panel of gnome-control-center as it doesn't have to filter
applications.
* Apps: If they are denied access, they can simply point users to
privacy panel of gnome-control-center since they can be sure location
access for the app can be enabled in there.
Also it's less annoying to user. Before this patch, if they denied
access to application, they had to keep doing that at least each time
they launched the application.

Alex told me that since it's not geoclue but rather GNOME-components
storing/accessing app permissions, it's better if we put it under
'gnome' rather than generic 'desktop' table.
While we could have implemented this already a while ago, this would
have been a completely false security mechanism since we had no way of
reliably identifying applications. Since now with xdg-app, we can at least
reliably identify bundled applications, let's give users a choice of
which applications in particular they are OK with giving location data
to.
While we still can't reliably identify system (non-xdg-app) applications,
it seems extremely unlikely we'll ever be able to do that (at least not
in the near future) so we'll have to trust them to not lie about their
IDs.
Next release of geoclue will take the ID of bundled application directly
from corresponding xdg-app metadata so bundled applications can't simply
lie about their IDs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762119
This class will be responsible for authorizing applications that try to
access location information. Since this is mainly targetted for xdg-app
applications, we make use of xdg-app's D-Bus API to store
per-application authorization.

Add a dialog that is used in a following patch, to ask user if they want

Any time estimates we can come up with are notoriously unreliable;
even on devices that report correct (dis)charging rates, any change
in workload, screen brightness etc. can throw our estimate off by
a huge amount. This is further compounded by bad firmware and battery
firmware which reports inaccurate data as neither Windows nor Android do
not use that data.
So instead, limit ourselves to only showing the current percentage
and leave its interpretation to the user.
As an added bonus, we end up with shorter strings that are less likely
to cause problems with ellipsization when translated.

If we detected that Bluetooth devices were setup, show the Bluetooth
menu so that users can easily turn Bluetooth back on.
This is a bit of a hack, as we cannot detect whether there is a
Bluetooth adapter at all when it's disabled, so we cannot tell whether
there were any Bluetooth devices setup, at some point. This state is
saved in the gnome-shell GSettings in the had-bluetooth-devices-setup
key.
Checking whether we saw Bluetooth devices at one point is a good
enough guess of whether there will be some in the future.

accordingly

Follow the design we have in gtk+ for buttons dialogs,
which are at the bottom and they expand full width, having
the same amount of space for each one.
Also, since this removes any space for non-button widgets
in the button area, move the spinner present in the auth prompt
dialog next to the password entry.

Instead of using gnome-settings-daemon's D-Bus interface's presence.
iio-sensor-proxy now offers a D-Bus interface, which will exported
"HasAccelerometer = true" when an accelerometer is present.

Instead of saving only the current input source when entering password
mode, let's save the whole MRU list so that we can restore it when
returning to normal mode.
This is closer to user expectations since password mode is a transient
and short lived state.

g-s-d has been taking care of this for us but in a very hackish way
that causes dconf writes on every startup and also doesn't handle
dynamic updates to locale1's properties which has become a problem now
that GDM keeps its greeter session running in parallel with users'.
To take care of this properly, this commit introduces a settings
abstraction with both system and session implementations. The session
implementation just wraps access to the existing gsettings while the
system one gets its values from org.freedesktop.locale1's properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746288
The mode is never set after the removal of the bottom tray, so it
no longer makes sense to pass it to allowKeybinding(). We can also
safely remove it from the ActionModes flags altogether without
requiring a synchronized update with gnome-settings-daemon, as
the latter never used any flag value above LOGIN_SCREEN.
This used to be the style-class for status icons (i.e. icon-only
top bar items). It got unused a while ago when the class used
by status icons stopped using it - except for the keyboard indicator,
which set the class manually to appear as status icon despite not
being a real icon.
Now that the button highlight is provided by the .panel-button class
on a parent, the obsolete class results in a double border on the
keyboard indicator when active - just drop it from there as well
to fix.
Input method preedit text needs to be disabled on password entries
for security and usability reasons.
IBus 1.5.7 provides the signal set-content-type so that panel UIs can
handle these special purpose input entries:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/6ca5ddb302c9
Unfortunately IBus versions older than 1.5.10 have a bug which causes
spurious set-content-type emissions when switching input focus that
temporarily lose purpose and hints defeating its intended semantics
and confusing users. We thus don't use it in that case.

Due to a typo we were always removing the first (index 0) connection
from the global list of connections instead of the correct one.
This resulted in some connections remaining in the shell's connection
list long after they were removed. In particular, this resulted in
multiple copies of a bluetooth connection appearing after suspend/resume
(when the device was readded and the cached connection list was
rescanned).
