Don't assume there will always be a primary (logical) monitor, or any
(logical) monitor at all. This includes not allocating / layouting /
styling correctly when being headless.
The initial background loading will also be delayed until there are any
(logical) monitors connected.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Using a MetaWindowActor's shaped texture as the source for window
clones means that if there are further MetaSurfaceActor children
(e.g. a wayland client using sub-surfaces) they don't get cloned.
This obviously wasn't an issue until wayland clients introduced the
possibility of having multiple MetaSurfaceActors under a
MetaWindowActor but there's no fundamental reason we can't clone the
toplevel actor.
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone is the one class that was already using
the MetaWindowActor instead of the texture although it seems to have
been an unintended change in commit
8b99617513.

Commit c39ffa111 moved the signal handling from the controls- to the
background-group to enable scrolling on non-primary monitors.
However this broke scrolling on reactive overview elements as the
workspace switcher, as they're not descendants of the background.
To fix, move scroll-event handling to the overview group itself,
which is the common ancestor of all overview elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768316
Both the Overview::scroll-event and actions added via addAction()
are meant to work anywhere in the overview, but for now only work
on the primary monitor. Move the handling to the background group
that is known to span all outputs to fix.

The stack was used to overlay a message indicator over the overview
group. That indicator is long gone, so there's no longer a need for
an intermediate actor in the hierarchy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766883
The message tray is now empty and about to be removed, so an indication
at the bottom edge of the overview becomes an odd location to convey the
status of the summary. We will eventually display an indication in the
top bar that unseen messages are available, for now just remove the
existing indicator.

_hideDone checks _shown to determine if anything has shown the overview
while we hid it, and if so, shows the overview forward just in case.
In a local patch that called _hideDone immediately inside _hide for
testing, this broke. While we don't actually depend on this anywhere,
it doesn't hurt so that the next person to hack this up (perhaps me!)
doesn't get stuck debugging it for 20 minutes.
It is quite weird to have those calls/signals using WindowClone as an
argument, it is neater to pass MetaWindows around, and have each user
deal with their own representations of these.

The rewrite of Mutter's background code (see bug 735637) requires
corresponding changes here - we no longer need to layer multiple
MetaBackgroundActors together.
The general strategy is that a BackgroundSource object is created
per GSettings schema, and keeps either one Background/MetaBackground pair,
or, for animation, a Background/Metabackground pair for each monitor.

Following design decision, we want to animate AllView and FrequentView
when opening and closing with a swarm spring form.
This involves a few changes needed to allow that, since from some time
now, we are animating page changes in viewSelector, using only a fade
transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.
Thanks Florian Müllner for the debugging work

The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages
like apps page or search page since the windows come from nowhere
with an initial position not known to the user.
Instead of that just fade the desktop with the windows in its
original position.

The DESKTOP window might not be located at (0,0), in particular
on multi-monitor setups. While we already consider this by setting
the clone's position, we then stuff the clone into a container which
ignores it - meh ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723306
If desktop icons are enabled and not covered by maximized windows,
we will fade them in/out during overview transitions. However when
moving background handling into mutter/gnome-shell, we ended up with
the overview background on top of the DESKTOP window clone, hiding
the fade transition.
Fix the stack order to bring the effect back.

Some consumers may want to construct their buttons specially, so allow them
to do that by adding a new API that takes a button instead of a label.

The cover pane is used to block events during transitions, but as
workspaces don't share the same container as other overview elements,
they are currently excempt from the event blocking.
Move the cover pane to the top-level overview container instead.

Moving the mouse fast enough during xdnd will trigger a xdnd-leave event
because the input shape is not updated until after the animation is done.
So simply ignore the leave events while the animation is in progress.

This method, which accepts a .desktop filename, is used to highlight
a specific application in the overview, for example because it has
just been created or installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654086
The event catcher that covers the entire primary monitor during
transitions is currently inside a BoxLayout, relying in its
odd support for fixed position actors.
We already have a proper stack widget in place, move it there.

Instead of using the input mode, when the overview is not modal
it should use a Chrome-tracked actor, that is added to the input
region. Because the overview always takes pointer input when
visible, the actor is added at startup, and it is shown and hidden
as needed.

Some keyboard spot a dedicated search key, which gnome-settings-daemon
currently handles by spawning gnome-search-tool. It makes a lot of
sense to promote the Shell's integrated search feature instead, so
expose an appropriate DBus method g-s-d can use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700536
Instead of creating a bunch of random actors and then passing
them off to the controls manager, let the controls manager
construct them. This leaves the controls manager in charge
of the ordeal.

Rather than expose a dizzying array of methods related to managing
state that require infecting every user of the overview methods, try
to do the sensible and smart thing internally. Now, the overview
itself tracks when XDND drags start, and simply calling show, hide or
toggle while an XDnD drag is in effect will show the overview, and
will only take the grab until after the XDND drag ends.
