When the keyboard is configured, make lg shorter (if necessary) to
avoid overlapping it.
Also, make a few simplifications to lg's layout code. In particular,
move it into panelBox, to simplify its interactions with the panel.

Rather than having a single chrome layer and putting all of the chrome
into that, put the chrome actors directly into uiGroup, so that they
can be stacked independently of one another relative to other actors.
(This requires making uiGroup a ShellGenericContainer, so we can use
skip_paint to avoid painting non-visibleInFullscreen chrome when we're
in fullscreen.)

The shell has a number of things that are only relevant for

The AutomountManager class is the low-level counterpart of the
previously introduced AutorunManager, and takes care of extracting the
list of valid mounts from a GVolume or a GDrive and mounting them,
provided a number of conditions and requirements are met.
AutomountManager also keeps track of the current session availability
(using the ConsoleKit and gnome-screensaver DBus interfaces) and
inhibits mounting if the current session is locked, or another session
is in use instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653520
AutorunManager is a class that takes care of displaying and managing
notifications and UI for storage devices.
When a mount appears and a number of conditions are satisified, a
transient notification will be displayed to immediately interact with
the device. AutorunTransientDispatcher is the object that takes care of
showing/hiding the notification sources as devices appear/disappear.
Likewise, current mounts are kept in a list and presented within a
list in a resident notification, handled by AutorunResidentSource.

Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have

We call global.sync_pointer() on MetaScreen::restack as a hack to try
to fix up the hover state after a pointer grab. Previously we were

move it to main.js instead.

Using the list of stylesheets loaded with st_theme_load_stylesheet(),

Move some more environment-initializationy stuff from main.js to
environment.js, and be more careful about not importing shell JS
modules until after the environment has been fully patched.
Change gnome-shell-plugin to call Environment.init() before
Main.start(); this means that Environment.init() now runs before any
shell JS modules (besides environment itself) have been imported.
Make run-js-test create a ShellGlobal and use its js_context, so that
the shell_global_set_property_mutable() stuff in Environment.init()
will work correctly in tests as well.

Since the hotcorner is a reactive actor, and it is over the Activities
button, hovering on it results in a leave-event for the button.
This is not noticeable when opening the overview, as the button is
correctly prelighted, but it is when closing, if you keep the mouse
near the hot corner, as the button is kept in normal state, despite
the mouse being over it.

Inside the Shell, all the UI (including chrome, the overview, and
the actual windows) is not a child of the stage but of a special
ClutterGroup, which is cloned inside the magnifier.

tooltip will soon.

Main._nWorkspacesChanged was racing with Main._checkWorkspaces.
If _checkWorkspaces won the race, _workspaces was uninitialized.
Because of this, _checkWorkspaces only noticed workspaces
with windows on them, leading it to believe the last workspace wasn't
empty, and added a new, empty workspace.

To avoid having hot corners that accidentally trigger when e.g. trying
to hit the panel on the primary monitor we add hot corners only to

Fix the "panel" icon to be symbolic. Make the overview parts only show

Currently we remove a workspace when last window on that workspace closes,
which turned out to be too agressive as some apps open either a splashscreen
or a "I have crashed last time" dialog at startup.
Try to detect such apps and give them a chance to open their "real window(s)"
on the workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642188
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.

See commit f2158218bef0c51 in mutter. Basically, we need
to grab org.freedesktop.Notifications before anything else
in the session gets started.
Note: I intentionally removed the Util.killall bits. I believe that
for notification-daemon at least, if we specify
DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, we'll take over the name. Not sure
about notify-osd; if that's still a problem, then what we need to do
is add killing (and possibly respawning) of notify-osd to
"gnome-shell --replace", and not have it embedded randomly in a JS file.

Commit 259c84ed9a refactored out HotCorner into its own class

a method in panel.js instead and call it from main.js, which is
consistent with what we do for the overview.

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 Overview does not only hold the different elements visible in
the overview, but is also a central point to manage drag signals.
As objects which are constructed in the overview constructor cannot
access Main.overview (as its constructor has not finished yet), we
use misnamed show/hide methods to work around this limitation, which
are called when entering/leaving the overview.
A better way to handle this problem is to remove the limitation
altogether by splitting the overview constructor between internals,
which remain in the constructor, and more complex objects which
need to access Main.overview, and whose initialization is moved
to a public init() function which is called by main.js after the
overview has been constructed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
The new plans for a row of workspace thumbnails on the right side of the
overview means that the mental model we present to the user will be
vertical, so switch the Metacity workspace layout to be vertical and
adjust the keybinding handling, animations, and workspace layout in
the overview to match.
(This commit does not change the workspace switching indicator pending
finalization of what we want to do with that - it still shows workspaces
arranged vertically.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
Right now popModal() passes global.get_current_time() for
its begin_modal() call. global.get_current_time() is the
timestamp of the last gdk or clutter event processed by the
shell's mutter process. These values could potentially be
be too stale to use if pushModal() were to get called in
response to an event by another process.
This commit changes pushModal() to have an optional timestamp
argument, which can be used to associate the call with the
event that initiated it.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).

methods.

Although certain keys (like Ctrl-Alt-Tab and Alt-F2) should work in
the overview, we generally don't want them to work from inside each
others grabs. In particular, typing Left or Right from inside
Ctrl-Alt-Tab should navigate among focus groups, not switch
workspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636971
Also, change _globalKeyPressHandler to handle KEY_PRESS, not
KEY_RELEASE, for consistency with other code (and so that the
combination of an Alt-F1 press and release doesn't first enter the
overview and then immediately exit it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636371
The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.
Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601731
Until recently, the clutter keyboard focus was almost always kept on
the stage, and bits of code that wanted to do stuff with the keyboard
would just watch for key-press-events on the stage. In several places,
the code wasn't even bothering to ensure that the focus was on the
stage, which caused problems with other actors that explicitly grabbed
focus.
A previous fix for this (f21403fd) was to always reset the focus to
the stage after calling pushModal(), but a better fix is to just
actually make use of the keyboard focus everywhere rather than having
everyone try to read events off the stage.
Now pushModal(actor) also does actor.grab_key_focus(), and various
bits of code have been changed to read key events off their own
toplevels rather than off the stage, meaning there's no chance of them
accidentally getting someone else's events.

Introduce the Universal Access status indicator as designed, modeled
after the similar UI provided by g-s-d. This indicator allows the user
to change rapidly the keyboard and mouse behaviour (sticky keys, slow
keys, bounce keys, mouse keys), as well as the enabled ATs (magnifier,
screen reader, screen keyboard) and the HighContrast Gtk theme.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624916
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.

the cases where a monitor gets added/removed but not when the primary

We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.
This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.
The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.
The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
Adds the ability to create one or more zoom regions that show magnified or
enhanced views of the desktop. The magnifier provides options for:
* magnification factor,
* four mouse tracking modes common to screen magnifiers,
* positioning the magnified view in one of four screen location, or full screen,
* crosshairs to accentuate the position of the mouse,
* user preferences persistence via GConf (schemas in
.../data/gnome-shell.schemas).
* a DBus API to allow other processes to drive the magnifier as a service.

In preparation for adding magnification, "uiGroup.patch", organizes the stage
along the following lines:
Stage
*Magnifier
UI group
Window group
Chrome group
Overlay group
Alt tab
App display
Chrome

This allows a magnifier actor to clone and magnify the UI group. The magnifier
is a sibling of the UI Group in this stage oraganization -- see the next patch,
"Magnifier.patch".
Inform the user about demands attention events using the messagetray.

This way, clicking a message tray icon while the overview is open will
close the overview when activating its window.
Remove some other overview-related activation code which is now

Consumer documentation will live at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions
In terms of implementation; basically we load extensions from the well-known

Previously we had various things watching for notify::mapped so
we could be more lazy about updating non-visible actors, but it
was fairly ad-hoc.
The deferred work system unifies these callbacks, and also adds
a timeout so that we don't delay changes arbitrarily; this way we
avoid a storm of work if you stay out of the overview for a while,
then go in.
