GetUserVerifier can only be called from the greeter session,
and fails with AccessDenied in all other cases. Also, calling it
hides the real error from OpenReauthenticationChannel, which
instead should be logged.

gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon rely on the screensaver
interface to know the locked state. Since gnome-screensaver is no
longer running, it's up to gnome-shell to provide it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
When the screen shield is activated from the user menu, animate
it instead of showing it abruptly. Also, ensure that the animation
had time to finish before calling UPower to suspend, to avoid
showing it when resuming.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Track screen lock status in the message tray, and filter banner
notifications. The message tray is completely hidden when the screen is
locked, but exceptions can be made for individual transient notifications,
such as shell messages and the on screen keyboard.
Non transient sources are shown in the middle of the lock screen. Resident
notifications (such as those from Rhythmbox) are shown in full, while
persistent ones are displayed as icon and message count.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Track locked status and use it to provide a reduced version of
the panel in the locked screen. Accessibility, input sources and
volume menus are preserved, without the link to the control center.
Network, battery and user menu are reduced to pure indicators,
with no menu.
This is similar to the design but not exactly, because designers
in IRC said that network needs more analysis before exposing, and
because the design didn't account for a11y and IM (so the one menu
metaphor is not really appropriate).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
The design calls for the curtain to appear in the gdm greeter too.
Implement this by having the screenshield manage the login dialog
(delegating its creation to SessionMode).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
This separates the screen shield into two main screens. One is
the lock screen, and it is shown when coming back from idle status
and when failing authentication. The other is the actual unlock
dialog.
Moving from the first to the second is possible by pressing Escape
or by dragging an arrow on the bottom on the screen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
This ensures that the screen shield is created at the right
stacking level, so the message tray is visible in the lock screen
(showing PAM messages, critical notifications and the on screen
keyboard)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Ensure that the lightbox is above everything (including the screenlock
itself) when fading in - this allows for fading while showing the
unlock dialog. Also, don't pushModal again when already locked, or
we won't get out of it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
When the screenshield is deactivated, instead of going back to the
session immediately, prompt the user for authentication.
This essentially reinstates what used to be provided by gnome-screensaver.

We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield

Add 'default' parameter to setButtons, that controls the binding
of Return (unless overridden) and applies the 'default' pseudo-class.

To allow more than one summary icon actor for a source we split
the model of the source icon (which is iconName, if the default
implementation is used, or a GIcon otherwise) and replace
createNotificationIcon() with a generic createIcon(size). Also,
the actual source actor is split into a separate class, that handles
the notification counter automatically.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
The :reactive property is used on StButton to like the :sensitive
property on GtkWidgets, that is, to indicate that the user is not
(yet) expected to click the button, and therefore should affect
styling too.
This allows to remove some code at the JS layer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Previous code would access the array element before checking that
the index was within bounds, and therefore cause a TypeError.
It wasn't noticed earlier because at least one visible children
is in each panel box in all session modes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Destroyed modal actors should be completely removed from the modal
stack automatically, including leaving modality if needed.
This allows for destroying modal dialogs without calling close().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619955
Change visibleInFullscreen to be trackFullscreen. If true, visibility
is fully bound to fullscreen status, if false, no change is made.
This allows to avoid set_skip_paint(), while not messing with
visibility of actors that are sometimes hidden for other reasons.
The flag was reversed because only the panel uses it, so false is
a more useful default.

When GDM was moved over to GDBus it dropped the libgdmgreeter
library and introduced a new libgdm library with a somewhat
different API.
The main differences in the API are:
1) open_connection is now implicit and automatic
2) conversations don't need to be started explicitly, they're
started just-in-time when verification is requested
3) The functions are split up between the client, and new
helper objects that correspond to the dbus interfaces
they were generated from (one for user verification,
one for greeter specific operations, and a couple more
that aren't used by gnome-shell).
4) libgdm supports reauthenticating in an already running
session, so user switching should now affect the users
session more like screen unlocking does.
This commit moves the shell over to the new library.

This makes sense, since we are covering input methods and keyboard
layouts in the same keyboard menu. The effect of this change is that
the ibus status icon no longer appears in the system status area.
Changing the number of workspaces while the popup was visible (which
happens when moving windows on the last non empty workspace) resulted
in a wrong layout. Fix that, by listening to workspace-added and
workspace-removed signals, and by always requesting an updated size
from the actor.

The calendar grid is build by giving each element right and bottom

appearing clipped on the left side.

While modal dialogs were attached to the parent's titlebar, it
made sense to leave the top of the parent window at full color.
With the new position of modal dialogs, it makes more sense to dim

BrightnessContrast- and DesaturateEffect instead of our own custom

When connecting to virtual machines with usb-device redirection, such as Spice
enabled vms, automount may get in the way. Specifically if auto-usbredir is
enabled in the vm-viewer, then the usbredir code and the automount code race
for who gets to the device first.
If the automount code wins the race this is a problem, since usbredir causes a
device-disconnect (iow the usb mass storage driver sees an unplug), so in the
end usbredir always wins, and we end up with a non clean potentially corrupt
filesystem. Also see:

By disconnecting the 'notify::connection-status' signal as soon as the account

Use our native JS error system in the "extension system" API, only
using the signal/log-based error reporting at the last mile. Additionally,
delete the directory if loading the extension failed, and report the error
back over DBus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679099
Instead of using the 'extension-state-changed' signal to relay errors,
use DBus's native error mechanism to inform the method caller that the
call has failed. This requires making the method actually asynchronous
so that we don't block the browser, which is stuck waiting for a reply
from the browser plugin. To ensure this, we need to modify the browser
plugin API to ensure its extesion installation method is asynchronous.
Additionally, this lets us remove the awful, broken hacks that we used
when a user clicked the "Cancel" button, replacing it by a DBus return
value.

When the extension downloader was originally designed, the information
downloading part was inserted at the last minute, along with the modal

the mistake I made when writing the code; instead of dropping an error
on the floor, log it correctly. This "bug" has already bitten a number

We strongly expect applications to use the same values for the
'Title'/'Icon' fields in their search provider .ini file as the
'Name'/'Icon' fields in their .desktop file. Rather than requiring
applications to duplicate those fields, allow them to specify a
'DesktopId' field instead to point to the corresponding .desktop
file, which makes it possible to ship search provider files without
translatable strings (which is nice given that merging translations
into search provider files lacks a standard rule).

Use the ShellMountOperation dialogs we have to implement a DBus API

Only apply the allowAutorun flag for transient notifications, not for
mounts that end up in the resident notification well.
Also, stop looking at volume.can_automount() here, since we already
checked that previously in the mounter, and allowAutorun is enough.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660595
Previously, a volume was being ignored from autorun if one of these two
conditions were met:
- its mount root file had a native scheme and was mounted in a
non-hidden location
- it had a volume that could have been automounted, and had a flag set
by the shell to allow autorun
In order to effectively ignore volumes that we don't mount ourselves
from our notification system, we have to meet both conditions at the
same time instead.

This is a fallout from some changes in MessageTray.Source, which now

When the shell takes control of the screen (for example to show

There is a race if a channel is invalidated during its preparation: the

Currently we only connect to the 'notify::n-workspaces' signal the

In particular, the decision of whether the workspace switcher should be

thus based entirely on the value of the num-workspaces user preference
rather than the actual number of workspaces.
