An Endless OS system was found in the wild with a malformed
.local/share/gnome-shell/notifications. When deserialized in Python,
after passing trusted=True to g_variant_new_from_bytes(), the first
element of the first struct in the array looks like this:
In [41]: _38.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0)
Out[41]: GLib.Variant('s', '\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff')
When deserialised in GJS, we get:
gjs> v.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0)
[object variant of type "s"]
gjs> v.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0).get_string()
typein:43:1 malformed UTF-8 character sequence at offset 0
@typein:43:1
@<stdin>:1:34
While g_variant_new_from_bytes() doesn't have much to say about its
'trusted' parameter, g_variant_new_from_data() does:
> If data is trusted to be serialised data in normal form then trusted
> should be TRUE. This applies to serialised data created within this
> process or read from a trusted location on the disk (such as a file
> installed in /usr/lib alongside your application). You should set
> trusted to FALSE if data is read from the network, a file in the
> user's home directory, etc.
Persistent state is read from the user's home directory, so it should
not be trusted. With trusted=False, the string value above comes out as
"".
I don't have an explanation for how this file ended up being malformed.
I also don't have an explanation for when this started crashing: my
guess is that recent GJS became stricter about validating UTF-8 but I
could be wrong!

Instead of going via the MetaShapedTexture to get the cairo surface, get
it from the window actor. The window actor can then handle this in a way
that makes it include potential subsurfaces.

Using the bus name to notify service startup to systemd has some
disadvantages. The main one being that systemd will consider a
gnome-shell restart (Alt+F2 r) a service failure and restart the shell,
cleaning up all its children (i.e. user launched applications). In the
future the shell should launch applications in their own transient unit
so that a service restart does not affect applications.
Another potential issue is that we must never load
gnome-shell-wayland.service and gnome-shell-x11.service at the same
time, as systemd does not like two services providing the same bus
name.

Mutter's Clutter fork can no longer be initialized separatedly, as
its backend now draws from MetaBackend. Adjust the code to use the
newly added test initialization function instead to get the test
back up.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/691
Clutter's backend code depends on MetaBackend now, which makes it
impossible to initialize without resorting to private mutter API.
Luckily we only need Clutter for interactive tests which are broken
anyway, as Clutter.main() and friends were removed a while ago.
So for now, get at least unit tests working again by simply the
unnecessary Clutter initialization.

Popups and other override-redirect windows are meaningless to everything
that depends on the ShellWindowTracker. Ignoring those windows will result
in less ShellApp::windows-changed signal emissions, and less activity in
the AppMenuButton and everything else that depends on them.
Reduces gnome-shell CPU activity while typing on the Epiphany addressbar,
as the pop up animation there results in a number of xdg_popup being
created and destroyed.

Now that we allow to disable session mode extensions, it can be useful
to reset an extension to its original state, that is disabled in the
regular session, but possibly enabled via the session mode.
Add a corresponding command.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
Change both 'enabled-extensions' and 'disabled-extensions' keys as in
commit ce1bee727. While those actions are now also exposed by the
shell's D-Bus API, there is some value in allowing the tool to be used
outside a running GNOME session (for example in setup scripts), so
keep changing the GSettings keys directly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
With the addition of the 'disabled-extensions' key in commit ce1bee727,
the way extensions are enabled/disabled changed: Now a UUID is always
added to one list and removed from another.
Prepare for that by generalizing the relevant bits of the existing
enable/disable commands as helper functions.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
The ability to install unaudited extensions directly from a zip file
can be useful for testing and code review, so implement a corresponding
command that complements the previously added 'pack' command.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
Extensions are uploaded to extensions.gnome.org as zip files that
not only contain the extension sources, but also compiled GSettings
schemas and message catalogues. To make this more convenient, add
a corresponding command for creating an archive suitable for up-
loading.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
We already support displaying extension details for the list command,
so it's a logical extension to also support showing extension info
for a particular extension (not least because the shell has a
corresponding D-Bus method).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
In addition to a plain list of all extensions, add options to display
additional details of each extensions and to filter the list by
enabled state or install location.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
This implements more functionality of the existing tool and, as
'reload' is an unreliable feature that doesn't work more often
than not, the last bit that we will replicate.
The command follows the original for the most part, with the most
important difference being the installed template, which doesn't
provide any sample functionality and uses modern JS syntax.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1234
This replicates the most basic functionality of the existing
gnome-shell-extension-tool, albeit using a git/gio/gsettings
style command interface rather than plain options; this will
allow us to implement more complex commands that have options
on their own in the future.

Whenever an app is installed, the usual routine is
to run 'gtk-update-icon-cache' after installing all
of the app's files.
The side effect of that is that the .desktop file of
the application is installed before the icon theme
is updated. By the time GAppInfoMonitor emits the
'changed' signal, the icon theme is not yet updated,
leading to StIcon use the fallback icon.
Under some circumstances (e.g. on very slow spinning
disks) the app icon is never actually loaded, and we
see the fallback icon forever.
Monitor the icon theme for changes when an app is
installed. Try as many as 6 times before giving up
on detecting an icon theme update.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/661
The texture cache, right now, only monitors for
complete theme changes. If the contents of the
icon theme change, however, the texture cache
isn't properly invalidated.
This manifests itself as a randomly reproducible
bug when installing an app; the app icon may be
the fallback forever, or as long as something else
updates the icon theme.
Watch for the GtkIconTheme:changed signal, and
evict the texture cache when the theme changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/661
StAdjustment implements the ClutterAnimatable interface, so we can
already animate its properties with ClutterPropertyTransitions.
But as it is currently not possible to associate a transition with
an adjustment, it must be owned (and kept alive in case of GC) by
the calling code.
Change that by implementing the same (add|remove|get)_transition() API
as ClutterActor, so we can use a familiar API and even duck typing in
case of javascript.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/669
We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
We currently only consider a remote "app.new-window" action when running,
but not a fixed "new-window" action in the .desktop file. The latter is
clearly useful as well, in particular as open_new_window() already does,
so add it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/665
`g_object_notify()` actually takes a global lock to look up the property
by its name, which means there is a performance hit (albeit tiny) every
time this function is called. For this reason, always try to use
`g_object_notify_by_pspec()` instead.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/652
In `st`, we can do this by using `ST_PARAM_*`. In the other code files,
just use `G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS` directly.
This is just a minor convenience to prevent a few unnecessary string
copies.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/646
A generic, introspectable Shader effect is not only more flexible
than a shader actor, it will also make it much easier to turn
Lightbox into an actor subclass and replace Tweener with Clutter's
own animation support.

Since -Werror=missing-braces is used, having missing braces warnings
aren't allowed. However, the first member of struct sigaction is a union
whose first member is a pointer, causing clang to produce warnings when
it is initialized to { 0 }.
Instead of initializing to a zero value, we can specify values of
members directly in the initializer to avoid warnings.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/633
Glib stopped providing any fallback implementations on systems without
memmove() all the way back in 2013. Since then, the symbol is a simple
macro around memmove(); use that function directly now that glib added
a deprecation warning.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/632
st_theme_node_paint_equal() was originally added to preserve paint state
when a style change didn't affect any of StWidget's cached background
resources.
That's why using it for filtering out unneeded style changes as in commit
f662864a misses any non-background related properties that are relevant
for subclasses. Add additional tests to make sure we keep emitting the
signal in those cases.
