g_settings_schema_new() aborts if the requested schema is not found,
so the previous approach of handling the case of unstable nautilus
not being installed did not work.
Instead, remove the use of the setting altogether - the original intent
was to not have separate items for Desktop and Home in the places
section if the nautilus key was set. As the section has been removed
anyway, the impact of always adding the desktop folder is minimal
(e.g. searching for "desktop" will match the desktop folder even
if it's set to the home folder).
The latest development version of nautilus has been ported to
GSettings, which we now use as well for the desktop-is-home-dir
preference. Obviously, the required schema is only available if
a recent enough nautilus version is installed. Instead of adding
yet another module to the moduleset, catch the exception and
ignore the preference in case the schema is not available.

'Places' follows the nautilus preference of whether the Desktop
should be a separate directory or the home folder should be used.
Nautilus has been ported to GSettings a while ago, so follow suit.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).
Update various other bits of code around the shell to use the new
methods.

The layout of recent mockups occupies the space previously reserved
for the info bar with the view selector. As the bar's purpose is
mainly to provide the user with feedback, it makes sense to use the
existing message tray facility instead of moving the bar elsewhere.

Add a "gicon" property so that a GIcon can be used instead of an
icon name, while still getting icon recoloring from the theme.
Also include a compatibility wrapper in libshell until GJS has
support for interface static methods.

Switch from St.TextureCache.load_named_icon() to using St.Icon for named
icons. Along with the advantage of getting colorization right for symbolic
icons, this allows moving some icon sizes into the CSS.
In the CSS, the system status icon size is changed to be 1em (=16px for the
default font size), at the request of the artists. See bug 613448.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633865
Icons can be loaded as St.Icon.SYMBOLIC, FULLCOLOR, APPLICATION or
DOCUMENT. The first will look for a symbolic equivalent, the second
looks for a full-color version (and does fallback, eg, from
"drive-harddisk-usb" to "drive-harddisk"). APPLICATION and DOCUMENT do
full-color icons without fallback (as specified by the icon spec).
And update various callers to use the right flags.
Based on a patch from Matt Novenstern.

The current search system uses the OR operator to concatenate search
terms. While results which are matched multiple times sort before
other matches, it is almost guaranteed that adding an additional term
to the search increments the number of results, which is rather
surprising.

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

When dragging windows in linear view, the workspace zooms out to
allow moving the window to other workspaces. Enable the same
behaviour for items dragged from the dash.

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
Moving to St.Table introduced a regression that resulted in the height
of Places section to only depend on the height of the left column.
This could result into some bookmarks not being displayed at all because
there are not enough items in the left column to allocate the needed height.
Fix this by removing the St.BoxLayout actors and add the items directly to
the table.

While most of the code already is CSS stylable, the two-colum setup
is still done using Big.Box with hard coded spacings. Port those
remaining parts to St.Widget, so that all spacings can be adjusted
by the theme.

Clicking the eject button in the places display always triggers an
unmount action. In some cases like USB drives or DVDs, eject makes
more sense - it is also consistent with nautilus' behavior.

The hover rewrite added a freeze/thaw_notify to
st_clickable_leave_event() (to match the one already in
st_clickable_enter_event()), which broke code in two places that
assumed "pressed" would still be TRUE when "hover" changed to FALSE.
Fix that by exposing the "held" property as well.
Gjs now removes user_data arguments for callbacks - the existing
code still works because all user_data arguments are unused and
at the end of the argument list, but it's a lot prettier to remove
them.
DND from the places section broke with 1c4c3afb when St.Label was
replaced with St.Button.
To fix, replace St.Button with St.Clickable and use a fake_release
when starting a drag.

When an unmount operation fails, the only feedback given currently
is an exception on stderr. Use the infoBar to display an error
message and allow the user to retry the operation.

Brute force merge these two by essentially replacing St.TextureCache
with a (renamed) Shell.TextureCache.
One function was added for convenience, namely "st_texture_cache_load_file_simple".
St.TextureCache had a function to load a texture from a filename, and it
returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this. This
function is better.

With the above preference set to true, the home and desktop entries
both represent the same location. Hide the desktop icon in that case
to avoid redundancy.

The high level goal is to separate the concern of searching for
things with display of those things; for example in newer mockups,
applications are displayed exactly the same as they look in the
AppWell.
Another goal was optimizing for speed; for example,
application search was pushed mostly down into C, and we avoid
lowercasing and normalizing every item over and over.

Mostly a straightforward porting of style code to CSS, except
that various bits of other code referenced a few GenericDisplay
constants, so those needed to be ported as well.
Add some padding at the top between the close button and the items.
Center the text and description.

Places is one of the dash sections and it should be included in search results.
Factor out the code for getting and updating the information about places from
Places to PlacesManager.
Introduce PlaceInfo class that contains information about the place and can be
used by classes that display it in different ways. Rename classes so that their
names are consistent with corresponding classes in appDisplay.js and
docDisplay.js
