Although not all "Finding and reminding" applications are ready
yet, the integration with gnome-documents' search results overlaps
enough with the "Recent Items" provider to justify its removal.

Allow applications to register search providers by dropping a keyfile
into a well-known directory. For now, initialize all found providers;
long term, we probably want to give users the ability to restrict the
set of active search providers.

Add an asynchronous search provider for results from a DBus service
implementing the org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider interface; this
will allow applications to hook into the Shell's search without
implementing it in Shell itself or requiring an extension.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663125
We will allow applications to hook into shell's search by registering
a service which implements a well-known DBus interface.
"search-providers" is a reasonable directory name for applications to
drop their registration files, but it conflicts with "search_providers"
used by open search providers - rename the latter to avoid confusion.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663125
Currently, asynchronous search providers are expected to call
startAsync() in getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet(),
which will trigger async mode until the search is canceled or
updated. Switching between synchronous and asynchronous mode like
this makes asynchronous search an implementation detail, but being
transparent to the searchDisplay means that certain optimizations
don't work as expected. Namely, updating asynchronous search results
causes flickering, and the automatic selection never focuses
asynchronous results.
So change the API to require providers being either synchronous (with
the current getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet() methods)
or asynchronous (with asynchronous variants), and handle asynchronous
providers explicitly in searchDisplay.

renderResults() updates the results set, determines the number of
results to display, retrieves the corresponding result metas and
adds a new results actor for each meta.
Splitting the function in those parts allows to move the retrieval
of the result metas into SearchResults, which is where we ensure
flicker-free rendering and control the selection - we want to keep
both features for asynchronous result metas which we are about to
introduce.

Empathy uses to support 2 D-Bus API for calls:
- StreamedMedia: legacy API
- Call.DRAFT: experimental version of the new API
Since 3.3.90, Empathy only supports Call1, the first stable version of the new
API, so the Shell should do the same.

Add a new dbus method that takes an area (x, y, width, height) and fires a
flashspot on it.
This would be useful for applications like totem and cheese.

An actor is removed from its parent after it emits the destroy signal,
so we can't just check if the notification stack has more than one
notification -- we need to check if there's a notification there
that is not the current one.
This was causing spew in the form of:
"this.notificationStack.get_children()[0]._delegate.setIconVisible
is not a function"
IconGrid items used to be square, so a single size value made
perfect sense. However, as contact search uses rectangular items,
using a single size is wrong - the allocated height ends up twice
the size of the visible height, which is particularly visible if
another provider displays results below contact results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670148
The correct way to make an actor having the same size as another is
a ClutterBindConstraint. Connecting to 'allocation-changed' fails because
the allocation might not change even when 'width' and 'height' properties do.
This is the case of Main.uiGroup, used as parent container for zoomed
window clones.
In lightbox.js we bind also the position because in principle it could change,
even if currently only fullscreen lightboxes are used.
VPN secrets are stored by the plugins, that provide separate
helpers for authentication. This commit adds the support for invoking
the binaries and pass them connection details.
For plugins that support it (as exposed by their keyfile), we invoke
them in "external-ui-mode" and expect a set of metadata about the
secrets which is used to build a shell styled dialog.

Substitutions generated by configure don't resolve prefixes, so
cannot be used for paths. Config already had localedir, and next
commit will need libexecdir and sysconfdir, so just bite the bullet
and move to sed.

ConsoleKit is being obsoleted by systemd. Accordingly port the CK logic
in the gnome-shell automount manager to systemd-logind APIs.
This makes use of systemd-logind's native C APIs which are much easier
to use than the D-Bus APIs in this case, and much faster too (since they
are synchronous and directly query the kernel for the information we
need). The dependency is compile time optional, and in order to be nice
to the Debian folks g-s compiled with this enabled fill automatically
fall back to CK support on systems lacking systemd.
ConsoleKit is obsoleted by systemd-logind. Accordingly, port
the current CK code to systemd. In order to be nice to
the Debian people fall back to CK if systemd is not found,
so that the code makes the best of whatever it runs on.
Gsm.GetRegistrationInfo and Cdma.GetServingSystem return a single argument
consisting of a tuple, not three separate arguments. This is
a regression from the GDBus port.

Currently they return 'undefined' instead of something meaningful,
e.g. DND.DragMotionResult.CONTINUE. This was unnoticed because none
of the ancestors of the Activities button actors do any drag handling.
The only visible issue are JS errors generated when dragging, for example,
a window thumbnail over the button, because the cursor cannot be set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669921
Since the dummy actor occupies exactly the same area of the Hot Corner,
it can be erroneously picked during xdnd operations. Fix this by
hiding it from pick.

If both spacing and -shell-grid-item-size are 0, as they would be with nothing
setting them, we enter an infinite loop where we try to compute the layout.
Avoid the situation entirely by defaulting -shell-grid-item-size to a sane
value instead of 0.

The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);

Add two new APIs, "launchExtensionPrefs" to let SweetTooth let the user
launch the extension preferences tool directly from the browser. To allow
SweetTooth to check if an extension can be configured, add a new key to
the 'metadata', 'hasPrefs', which is returned by the GetExtensionInfo/
ListExtensions DBus methods.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
ExtensionUtils is a new module that has a lot of miscellaneous things related
to loading extensions and the extension system put into a place that does not
depend on Shell or St.
Note that this will break extensions that have with multiple files by replacing
the old uuid-based importer with an object directly on the meta object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
If an extension fails to import, we will pass the error object
to logExtensionError, which fails to pass it onto DBus as an
error object is not a string. To fix, convert the error object
to a string before passing it to logExtensionError.
