We has poor performance if we try to allocate hundreds of actors;
a bit more ideally, we'd keep pulling as much as we can, but really
no one should have more than 50 in the list as is now except on
unreasonably large screen sizes.
In the future we should change this to be pull-on-demand thing
in a chunked fashion.

Rather of calling .exists() synchronously for all documents, use
ShellDocSystem's async API to only stat docs we're showing.
Use the doc opening functionality in ShellDocSystem.
Also, more intelligently do redisplay(); don't recreate actors
for recent docs if we already have one for that URI. We may
need more intelligent caching here; if e.g. just the associated
application changes, we should probably reread the info.

Ideally we'd be able to override _paint, but given that we can't
at the moment, this method gives a way to implement containers
which don't happen to paint all of their children.

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.

The synchronous close causes us to block in fsync() which has extremely
poor interactivity implications on ext3.
Also, the 5 second timeout was an accidental commit from debugging, 5
minutes is fine.

The altTab.js and app well code weren't sharing really
any functionality anymore; un-merge the appIcon code back
into appWell, and have a simple icon + text display for
altTab.
Port AppWell to St and CSS.

StClickable replaces ShellButtonBox. Reduce the number of
button-like things by deleting button.js.
To do so, add CSS style for the actitivies button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
Now a StBin, and add hover/active style properties. Also, add the
event to the CLICKED signal. Otherwise a straightforward namespace
transformation.

It's nicer to have ShellDrawingArea as a St widget so it can
participate more cleanly in CSS styling, such as queuing a redraw
automatically on style changes, and allowing subclasses to use
CSS styling.

Some applications show a confirm dialog before closing, which the close
button happily ignores.
Detect newly created windows which are transient for the window we try to
close and switch to them.

Rather than having gradients be individually implemented by higher
level JS widgets, move basic gradient functionality into StWidget.
There is prior art in WebKit for CSS gradients:
http://webkit.org/blog/175/introducing-css-gradients/
However, implementing this would be quite a lot of work; all we
need in the Shell design at the moment is basic horizontal/vertical
linear gradients. So, the syntax now supported is:
background-gradient-type: [vertical|horizontal]
background-gradient-start: color;
background-gradient-end: color;

An earlier commit was overzealous in removing (out) annotations;
introspection supports (out) for integral types just fine, we
only need to remove them for (out) types where the caller needs
to allocate a boxed type.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
We had previously been leaving the scaled workspace at a non-integral
position which didn't look obviously ugly, but now that we're
constraining the popup pane to the workspace size, we really need
to ensure that we're using integral positions here.

We need to check if the display actor is an instance of Shell.OverflowList
or St.BoxLayout to use the appropriate function for getting its child
with a given index.
In addition to the Makefile changes, we also change uid_t to gulong in
the public API (which matches how it was already represented in the
gobject properties).
