While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for
both developers and users, it is still inconvenient for everyone
who changed the defaults using the old overrides hack to lose
their settings. Address this by running a small script on startup
that migrates existing settings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786496
GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Show an overamplified volume icon if volume is louder the max normalized one.
Use a similar logic as gnome-settings-daemon to delimit values, restricted
to output.
The purpose is to help users remember that visiting some websites or
using some apps can get LOUD.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Implement for barLevel an overdrive area. This is a zone represented via a
different styling to indicate that you are bypassing the normal zone of
a given level, without reaching yet the maximum limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Depending on hardware and recorded volume level, turning up the speakers
to the maximum volume may not be enough and the user will want to amplify
the volume above 100%. Currently this requires opening the sound Settings
panel which gets cumbersome when required repeatedly.
To support this case better, allow raising the sound volume above 100%
directly from the system menu if the feature is enabled via the
`allow-volume-above-100-percent` key in `org.gnome.desktop.sound`.
Allow osd representing levels that can be more than 100% by accepting
an optional parameter setting that maximum level.
gnome-settings-daemon will use this to indicate volume levels above 100%,
which our own volume indicator will soon support as well.
Ensure that both barLevel and slider can support a higher maxValue than 1
and computes various positions based on it.
It defaults to 1 if not set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Reuse the BarLevel class to get similar drawing behavior as Slider.
Rename theme css impacted properties and ensure that the osdWindow
remains accessible.
Ensure we don't force setting a custom border color like on the OSD.

In a9ad91c831, a bug was introduced in the following code:
```c
this._settingsAction.connect('clicked',
this._onSettingsClicked().bind(this));
```
Notice that the callback is being executed! This commit
fixes that by removing the '()' from the callback.
As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The settings action button in the system menu simply launches
gnome-control-center, so we want its icon (and accessible name)
to always match the app. So instead of keeping the button in-sync
with Settings, just look up that information from the app itself.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/433
We can simply request the symbolic variant from CSS so that we don't
have to append '-symbolic' to all the names. This will always make
it easier to pick up that information from external sources (like
.desktop files).

Commit e5c95b910d refactored the workspace animation to also handle
animations that involve all surrounding workspaces, but due to an
ill-advised review comment (guess whose) it broke the animation
for non-neighboring workspaces.
Update the code to handle correctly whether in a given direction:
- we have the target workspace of a given index
- we have a neighboring workspace
- we don't need to animate anything
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/182
Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.
It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.
fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/132
When the amount of free memory on the system is somewhat low, gnome-shell
will sometimes fail to launch apps, reporting the error:
fork(): Cannot allocate memory
fork() is failing here because while cloning the process virtual address
space, Linux worries that the thread being forked may end up COWing the
entire address space of the parent process (gnome-shell, which is
memory-hungry), and there is not enough free memory to permit that to
happen. This check is somewhat irrelevant because we are only forking
to immediately exec(), which will discard the whole virtual address
space anyway.
This issue can be avoided by using a new optimized gspawn codepath in
the latest glib development version, which uses posix_spawn() internally.
For the optimized codepath to be used, we must not pass a child_setup
function, so the the file descriptor management is reimplemented here
using new glib API to pass fds to the child process. The old API will
continue to be used on older glib versions.
We must also change the spawn flags for this code path to be hit.
I checked that gnome-shell's open file descriptors are all CLOEXEC
so using G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN should be safe.
This will result in more resilient app launching when memory is low,
since the optimized spawn path avoids cloning the virtual address
space of the parent process (gnome-shell) and avoids the irrelevant
memory overcommit check.

When 4fg swipe motion happens, set up early the workspace switching
animation with all surrounding workspaces. This allows us to move
all content back and forth in any direction. This works on both
touchcreens and touchpads.
When the gesture is activated, the same data is reused to follow
up with the tween animation.
The threshold has been also doubled, it was fairly small to start
with, and feels better now that workspaces stick to fingers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788994
Besides the separation into distinct functions, the stored data has
been made able to generically store windows from all surrounding
workspaces. All while keeping a special mode to animate between two
workspaces (The usual till now), this is the only mode exercised so
far.
In order to ease animations, all window groups are now children of
a common container, which is then animated.
While can_open_new_window() uses some elaborate heuristics to predict
whether an application can open multiple windows, open_new_window()
will always simply relaunch the application. This is often the best
we can do, but when an application provides a "new-window" action in
its .desktop file or on the bus, it is much more likely to work as
expected than blindly activating the app and hoping for a particular
behavior.

Graphical applications like GIMP or GIMP allow picking colors from
any location on-screen. In order to keep supporting this feature
on wayland and in sandboxed apps, we will expose an appropriate
method in the Screenshot interface, so first add a corresponding
method to ShellScreenshot.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/286
A custom callback type is more convenient, but only as long as no
other callback type is required. We are about to add functionality
that does not return the filename to a screenshot saved on disk, so
prepare for that by moving to GIO's generic async callback pattern.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/286
Fullscreen windows cannot be restored by touch device users unless the
application adds support for it.
As it is unlikely to change all application lets introduce a top edge
drag gesture which unmakes fullscreen windows.

Make the indicator for active remote access use the warning color, to
indicate the severity of allowing remote access.
This only makes the indicator icon orange; the icon in the system menu
is still white.
When in lockscreen mode there's no point of resetting the auth login as there's
no welcome screen, and that would just cause the UI to freeze, with no reason.
This could have been useful if we were stopping the user to login for a given
time after ALLOWED_FAILURES attempts, but this is not the case yet.
When we get a reset signal the preemptiveAnswer should be also unset or it will
be used next time the user authPrompt will be activated, even without any further
user interaction.
Fixes#311
Add an indicator for when there is something access the display server
remotely. This could be 1) remote desktop, 2) screen cast or 3) remote
control, but all effectively applications using
org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast or org.gnome.portal.RemoteDesktop as
well as gnome-remote-desktop using the corresponding org.gnome.Mutter
APIs directly.
As it is now, it'll simply show a single icon for when anything is
having an active session, and a single action "Turn off" that'll close
every active session.

Some systems define it to /usr/lib64 on 64-bit systems, which is not
where systemd looks for unit files. Just hardcode 'lib' in the install
prefix until we get to use the pkg-config file.

The input method may hint that certain keycodes should be pressed/released
besides the textual information in ::commit. An example is hitting space
in some IMs to commit text, where both ::commit happens, and an space is
visibly inserted. In order to handle this properly, we must honor
::forward-key-press.
In order to cater for the case that a keypress is forwarded while handling
that same keypress in a physical keyboard, check the current event being
handled and just forward it as-is if it matches. This is necessary to
prevent state from being doubly set, and the second event silenced away.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/275Closes: #275
So that we can be started by systemd --user, instead of gnome-session.
There are three units:
- gnome-shell.service: Start gnome-shell itself.
- gnome-shell-x11.target, gnome-shell-wayland.target: Sync points for
units that need to care if x11 or wayland is in use.
gnome-settings-daemon will use these, for example.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/138
If we're started by systemd, we won't be in the user's display session.
However, this is still the session that will get locked & unlocked. Ask
logind what the 'display' or 'greeter' session is, and watch for the
Unlock signal for that session to know when to unlock.

For windows, the cursor location needs to be adjusted by the frame
offsets. However we cannot assume that there is a window, as the
shell itself can have the key focus.

Maximized and tiled windows can be restored with a drag gesture,
not only from their titlebars, but also from any non-reactive
parts of the top bar above the window. Currently this only works
for actual pointer devices, extend the behavior to handle touch
as well.

If the Escape key is used for a window/app cycler/switcher shortcut
(such as "Switch windows directly"), then there is no way to cancel
the switching/cycling operation with the keyboard.
This change allows cancelling such an operation by pressing the Tab
key, but only if Tab is not already being used by the current
switcher/cycler shortcut.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/315
Key events involved in a keyboard shortcut are not completely consumed by
Mutter. That means that if the popupMenu is bound to a shortcut (e.g.
Alt<Space>) and the user keeps the keys pressed, the same key-event will be
delivered to the popupMenu. We can workaround this issue filtering out all the
events where a a modifier is down (except capslock).
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/372
Destroying and recreating the entire events list on every change is not only
wasteful, it also breaks the clear functionality as messages scheduled for
removal are replaced with "new" messages after the first message has been
removed.
Address both issues by keeping track of all messages and re-use them
whenever possible.
