GTK+ switched from ruby-based sass to c-based sassc for performance
reasons. It makes sense to follow suit, if not to not require two
tools for the same job ...

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously
present in gnome-settings-daemon. Since things are moving closer
to the compositor, it makes sense to have this implemented as shell
UI.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...

If a sandboxed app requests access to some system resource (camera,
microphone, location), the portal frontend needs to ask the user
for permission. In GNOME, we want this to be a system modal dialog,
so provide an org.freedesktop.impl.portal.access implementation
that exposes a generic system modal permission dialog on the bus.

We can autodetect what to do based on the user's session, so drop
the separate desktop files.
This, along with some future changes, will enable us to be bus
activatable.

Performance testing was producing inconsistent values at different
times in the day since the GNOME default background is animated and
sometimes has a single layer, and sometimes two blended layers.
So we have consistent numbers, install a simple animated background
with GNOME Shell that has 40-year long transition ending in 2030,a
and set an environment variable in gnome-shell-perf-tool so that the
background is override with that background. (The background depends
on files installed by gnome-backgrounds; we assume that the person
running performance tests is doing so within the scope of a full
GNOME install.)

Add a small DBus-activated GtkApplication that embeds a WebKitWebView
and implements some minimal logic to see if the login succeeds.
It will try to connect to a custom NM-provided url (the portal login
page), if one exists, or to www.gnome.org in the normal case of
a portal doing redirect.

Until now the arrows were the associated arrow
character of the font. This cause some problems like
different arrows for different fonts, and size can be
altered because of the font size.
To solve that, use an image for the arrows.

It's been broken for quite a bit since we removed Panel.Animation,
and hasn't really ever worked with our new search results. It's also
the only non-remote provider left.
Maybe we'll add it back as a remote provider later, but for now, just
ditch it.
Until now we had the same svg for hover, active and checked
states in the pagination indicators. Just differentiate between
them using differents svg.

Like screenshots, the screen recorder can be a useful tool in other cases
than being triggered by a keyboard shortcut. To account for that, export
a Screencast DBus API similar to the existing Screenshot interface.

gnome-panel is going away in 3.8, so we can't rely on it to provide our
friendly and reliable companion. But no regret, because we can ship it
ourselves, and at the same time remove some unnecessary configuration.

Display a '+' icon on the provider icon if there are more results that are
hidden. If the provider icon is clicked, ask the provider to launch itself and
perform a search with the current terms.

We are going to change the interface, so add a new version of it.
Providers will need to opt-in to the new API.
A summary of the differences compared to the previous API:
- ActivateResult() now also takes the search terms and a timestamp as
parameters
- a new LaunchSearch() method is added

They are bigger and show an ellipsis if the count goes over 99. They
now have a blurred background and a drop shadow based on
data/theme/close-window.svg.

The original design for the overview had buttons for searching for
Wikipedia and Google, but in practice this is a bad idea. The buttons
are the default activations, meaning that using the overview as a
fluent motion of launching something - "firefxo<Enter>", will launch
Google/Wikipedia.

Unlike the fallback gdm UI, we do not indicate in the user list
whether a user already has an open session or not. This information
is useful, so use a spotlight effect similar to the running-app
indicator to mark logged in users.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658185
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).

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
the entire parent window, so we can use a combination of Clutter's
BrightnessContrast- and DesaturateEffect instead of our own custom
shader.

Right now, we are hard-depending on the presence of Evolution by
using its settings schemas. This is likely to be unpopular, and
also causes instability if someone happens not to have Evolution
installed, so install a schema that has the same data path as
the Evolution schema, but a different name and install that
for the keys we need.
To avoid a string-freeze break, we rely on the translations in
Evolution - if Evolution isn't installed, the key descriptions
will be untranslated in dconf-editor.

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.
