Not all desktop files tracked by the shell have
Exec lines. This could be because they're actually
run by another process, for instance, and the desktop
file is merely there to provide metadata. For example,
nautilus-pastebin provides a desktop file without an
Exec line.
The shell currently crashes if one of these partial
desktop files is installed and the user attempts to
search from the overview.
commit 37726a4cb6 fixed
a similar crasher.
This commit fixes the next one lower in the code.

If we add a 0-sized actor with a border-radius, we will crash as we try to
allocate a 0-sized texture in Cogl. Bail out early instead of doing that.

We originally OR'ed search terms and favored results which matched
multiple times to get more relevant results. When changing search
to AND search terms, the semantics of "multiple matches" were
changed to refer to a single term matching multiple criteria (name,
executable), which seemed like a good idea at the time.
However in practice this just results in applications whose
user-visible name matches the executable name on disk being
favored over applications using a more generic name, which
isn't too useful (in particular when taking usage frequency
into account).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623372
Currently we use a very strict definition of "prefix", where the
search term has to match at the very beginning of the searched
criteria (application name, executable name). Use a more liberal
definition by including matches where the preceding character is
a space (application name) or hyphen (executable name) as well;
as many applications use a prefix, this should improve the quality
of results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623372
Application search results are internally categorized in four sets,
multiple and single prefix matches and multiple and single substring
matches. Each set is currently sorted alphabetically by application
name when concatenating the sets to the final result.
Change the last step to sort each set by usage frequency instead,
which is more likely to favor the most relevant match than
"arbitrary" alphabetic order.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623372
Require that all terms match. This is the expected behaviour
and matches what gnome-contacts does. Keep the prefix/infix
weights in place for now.

Folks uses collection/set objects from libgee to store email addresses
associated with an individual. Unfortunately to extract addresses, parts
of libgee which are unusable from (introspected) bindings have to be
used[0], so add a helper method.
[0] in particular gee_iterator_get(), which is annotated as
"return: (transfer full): gpointer"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660580
Match folks' name and nick fields, in addition to alias,
and look at email addresses in addition to im addresses.
This is more in line with what gnome-contacts does.
To match this new usage, rename the ALIAS_..._WEIGHT and
IM_..._WEIGHT constants to NAME_ and ADDR_, respectively.

The translate coordinates are calculated as the offset after the scale, so it
needs to be applied after the scale as well. This fixes random centering issues
in the UI.

For GIcons we use g_icon_to_string() in the key, but the function
will return NULL if the icon cannot be serialized. As a result,
all non-serializable GIcons of the same size end up with the same
cache key - an example for this are contacts with avatars, which
currently all end up with the same image.
To fix, opt out of caching for GIcons which cannot be serialized.

Setting up the framebuffers for transitions may fail, in which case
the material used for drawing is left uninitialized, so trying to
access it results in a crash.
Instead bail out in this case, which means that we won't paint
anything during the transition - still, drawing errors are better
than crashes ...

While we allow for arbitrary modifiers in keybindings, both the
alt-tab and ctrl-alt-tab popups close when ALT is not present in
the modifier mask, resulting in ALT being de-facto hardcoded.
Instead, pass the actual modifier mask when invoking the popups.

VPN secrets are currently unhandled by the UI code. To avoid
lengthy timeouts, bail out early with an error, so NetworkManager
falls back to the nm-applet agent directly.

Commit 0af108211c introduced a
regression where applications that appear in multiple categories were
duplicated in the "All Apps" list, because we switched from
uniquifying on desktop file ID to the GMenuTreeEntry.
Switch back to keeping the set of apps based on ID. To flesh this
out, we keep the ShellApp instance for a given ID around forever, and
when we're loading new contents, we replace the GMenuTreeEntry inside
the app. That means callers still get new data.
We still keep around the running app list, though we could just
recompute it from the app list now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659351
The apps and settings loading code duplicated the part to traverse a
GMenuTree. Unify this by adding a new function to return a flattened
set.
This will also be useful for a future change to how we store apps -
this way we can look at both the current set of apps and the new set.

Instead of doing complex computations in the shader just pass in the correct
fade area (taking padding, scrollbars and rtl into account) and just work
with that in the shader.
That fixes a bug where we would fade the scrollbar when padding is present.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659159
The way the window dimmer shader is applied will cause rendering errors with
the rounded corners, invisible borders or shaped textures since it doesn't deal
well with the multitexturing used by the MetaShapedTexture. Use an off-screen
buffer to flatten the texture before being applied.

While I've been trying to make the GC kick in more often, I've decided
it's a better tradeoff to aggressively GC at "leisure", for multiple
reasons.
We can and should revisit this at a later time, but basically:
* The shell doesn't generate *that* much JS data - garbage collection
is very fast here.
* Long periods without GC mean we're not calling free() when we
could, which in turn makes heap fragmentation much worse.
* Ensuring the GC runs at idle makes it much less likely we'll take
a random large GC hit in the middle of an animation.

It was always taking the first .service.in file to create all .service
files: org.gnome.Shell.CalendarServer.service.in was the only one being
used.

Base ShellStack on StContainer rather than ClutterGroup, so that it
has StWidget-y features (and so we don't have to "cheat" in
shell_stack_allocate()). Implement navigate_focus() to only ever pass
focus into the top-most child, since doing otherwise would be
surprising.

The translation is taken from GTK+, so translations in the gnome-shell
domain are pointless - hide the string, so that it is not extracted
by xgettext.
In particular, document that you can ignore the get-preferred-*
signals if and only if you have a fixed width/height specified by some
other means.

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

This commit introduces a "session type" for
gnome-shell. It essentially defines what
mode of operation the shell runs in
(normal-in-a-users-session mode, or at-the-login-screen mode).
Note this commit only lays the groundwork. Actually
looking at the key and appropriately differentiating
the UI will happen in subsequent commits.

shell_global_get() currently implicitly instantiates the shell
global singleton the first time it's called. This means there's
no opportunity to set construction-time properties on the singleton.
This isn't an issue yet, because there aren't any. We will need it
in the future, though, when we grow a --gdm-mode that gets exposed as
a property through the global singleton.
This commit adds a new _shell_global_init() function that must be
invoked before shell_global_get() can be called.

StAdjustment has some non-functional and unused animation vestiges
like the "elastic" property, st_adjustment_interpolate() and
st_adjustment_clamp().
This commit vacuums that stuff up so it doesn't tempt anyone into
trying to use it.
