Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.

The duality of the Clutter's key focus and mutter's window focus has long been
a problem for us in lots of case, and caused us to create large and complicated
hacks to get around the issue, including GrabHelper's focus grab model.
Instead of doing this, tie basic focus management into the core of gnome-shell,
instead of requiring complex "application-level" management to get it done
right.
Do this by making sure that only one of an actor or window can be focused at
the same time, and apply the appropriate logic to drop one or the other,
reactively.
Modals are considered a special case, as we grab all keyboard events, but at
the X level, the client window still has focus. Make sure to not do any input
synchronization when we have a modal.
At the same time, remove the FOCUSED input mode, as it's no longer necessary.

Currently we simply set the gsettings key when activating an input
source. This obviously introduces a time window, between the event that
activates the switch and when the switch is complete, under which key
events are being delivered to applications and interpreted according
to the previous input source.
The patches in bug 696996 introduce a DBus API in g-s-d that allows us
to know when an input source if effectively active. Using that and
freezing keyboard events in the X server until we hear back from g-s-d
we can ensure that events won't be misinterpreted after an input
source switch.

The notifications spec has two hints for playing a sound, sound-file
and sound-name. We can support them using the existing code that
wraps libcanberra.

As pressure barriers need a signalling mechanism to provide
information about when and where they are hit, an object which
provides a signal is a more appropriate abstraction for a pointer
barrier than a functional ID-based approach. Mutter has gained
pointer barrier wrappers, so use its objects instead of ours.

While looking at how the plymouth implementation was built, I was so
short-sighted and focused on the string "_XROOTPMAP_ID" that I didn't
realize it was the name of the standard background on the root window.
Remove our own implementation, and switch to using a standard mutter
MetaBackgroundActor.

The supposed reason for launching the calendar server in a peculiar
way was so that the process would be killed when the Shell was killed,
but that didn't actually work. Launch the calendar server through auto-start,
and persist all throughout the session.

Add a session-mode property on ShellGlobal which corresponds to the
new --mode switch. Make the existing ShellGlobal:session-type property
readonly and base it on ShellGlobal:session-mode to avoid conflicts.

Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.

Allow push_modal to optionally only work with a keyboard only grab and
use that in altTab as a fallback to allow switching windows while a pointer grab
is in effect (like during DND operations).

This commit introduces a "session type" for
gnome-shell. It essentially defines what
mode of operation the shell runs in
(normal-in-a-users-session mode, or at-the-login-screen mode).
Note this commit only lays the groundwork. Actually
looking at the key and appropriately differentiating
the UI will happen in subsequent commits.

Adds methods to shell_global to allow taking screenshots
save the result into a specified png image.
It exposes three methods via shellDBus applications like
gnome-screenshot:
*) Screenshot (screenshots the whole screen)
*) ScreenshotWindow (screenshots the focused window)
*) ScreenshotArea (screenshots a specific area)

Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to
the layout manager's 'monitors-changed' signal to know when the screen
geometry has changed.

shell_global_get_memory_info() is a new function which extracts a few
global counters we have already, namely glibc's mallinfo, spidermonkey's
JSGC_BYTES, and gjs' counters for boxed/object/etc wrappers.
There is some slight overlap with perf; ultimately though I'd
like this function to do some more extensive analysis, so it wouldn't
be quite the same.
perf is going to be mainly concerned with how big the whole process
over time is; memory_info is for debugging memory leaks.

shell-global had become a dumping ground for functions that didn't
have anywhere else to be. Make shell-util the dumping ground instead,
and have shell-global only have methods that involve the ShellGlobal
object.

Adding correct annotations to Gio.File.load_contents revealed that gjs
doesn't actually support array+length combinations. For 3.0 this would
be invasive to fix, so add a method to ShellGlobal which does what
we need.

If you have XFixes 5 (and corresponding xserver support) then we
add barriers on the panel and in the message tray corner so that
its easy to reach the corners even when there are monitors to the
sides of the primary monitor.

If the pointer moves on or off the stage while another process has a
grab, we will lose track of it. One example of this is that if you use
a popup menu from a message tray trayicon, the tray will stay up after
the menu goes away, because the shell never saw the pointer leave it.
Add a new method shell_global_sync_pointer() that causes clutter to
recheck what actor is under the pointer and generate leave/enter
events if appropriate.
Of course, we can't actually tell for sure when another process has a
grab, so we need a heuristic of when to call this. Currently we call
it from Chrome._windowsRestacked(), which is not really the right
thing at all, but does fix the menu-from-trayicon case...

Move the "system notification error" handling out of
util.js, and add it to ShellGlobal so we can start
calling it from across the codebase better (including
C).

This is another workaround for the lack of gjs supporting array
arguments, this time wrapping tp_connection_upgrade_contacts to
add new features to the connection's self contact.

Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.
