While we don't technically need the app to download and apply
updates, we do require it for notifying the user about available
updates and listing extensions with pending updates.
So instead of intransparently applying updates in the background
without the user noticing, disable updates altogether if the
Extensions app is not installed.

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an
extension that has been blacklisted makes sense off-hand, unfortunately
we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any
time soon[0], so drop the 'blacklist' handling for the time being.

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,
but didn't always chain up as necessary. In most places this doesn't
matter, but at the very least the commit broke activating message list
items via the keyboard.
Add all (hopefully) the missing chain-ups to get the expected behavior
back.

Destroying the policy invalidates it, so accessing it from a
Source::destroy handler (for example to disconnect signal
handlers) currently results in warnings like:
Object .Gjs_ui_messageTray_NotificationApplicationPolicy
(0x7f8c7c0a64a0), has been already deallocated — impossible
to access it.

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

Previously we'd show the system background and then wait till the
main loop was idle before beginning the shell startup animation.
This resulted in one initial frame that was always just the system
background.
Now we try to get both the system background and the startup animation
begun on the same first frame.

In telepathyClient we consider messages both Tpl.TextEvents and
Tpl.Messages, and we manually create JS objects to copy the properties we
care for each one. This may lead to objects not matching the interface we
want.
Instead, use an object with construct-only properties and two factory static
methods to initialize it.
Unfortunately we need to use the ChatMessageClass for the class name or
calling the static methods would trigger a gjs error as per [1].

We now warn on startup if screen locking isn't available, however for
users who choose not to use GDM or logind, repeating the warning on
each login is more annoying than helpful.
Instead, limit the warning to the first login on which the screen lock
became unavailable. That way the notification will still serve the
intended purpose of informing the user, but without being perceived
as nagging.

Commit da537cda43 moved the Shell.Screenshot API to GIO's async pattern,
but we never set the GError passed to the *_finish() functions and only
indicate failure by returning FALSE.
The expected behavior is to throw an error in that situation, so make sure
we do that.

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.

On X11, _onFocusChanged() updates the input region, as well as the
reactive-ness of the dialog's buttons.
That method is not only used as signal handlers (which are correctly
disconnected when the dialog is hidden), it also runs when the "show"
transition completes.
That's a problem if the transition is still ongoing when the dialog is
hidden, as it will then only complete when it is replaced by the "hide"
transition, after the this._dialog has been reset to null, and trying
to access the dialog's buttons results in an error.
Avoid this by explicitly removing all transition on hide before
resetting the dialog.

Commit c1ec7b2ff meant to fall back to the base layout in case
a variant like `fr+oss` is set up, but as we are checking for
'+' on the array rather than the layout name, the fallback only
"works" for a layout that is literally called '+', whoops.

Some timezones, like the one of Kathmandu don't only have hour-based

Extension updates are installed at startup, so any errors that bubble
up uncaught will prevent the startup to complete.
While the most likely error reason was addressed in the previous commit
(pending update for a no-longer exitent extension), it makes sense to
catch any kind of corrupt updates to not interfere with shell startup.

When an extension is uninstalled, there is no point in keeping
a pending update: If the update didn't fail (which it currently
does), we would end up sneakily reinstalling the extension.

Doing blocking IO in a graphical UI is bad, doing it in the compositor
is much much worse. So even if handling VPN requests is a relatively
rare event, doing it asynchronously is better.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,
but also in the legacy location and the directory pointed to by the
NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable (if set).
We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache
to become outdated.
Instead of trying to play catch-up with libnm's internals, do what nm-applet
does and use the appropriate API to look up the plugin on each request.

checkForUpdates() will currently always query the server for updates,

There are two ways for applications to provide a high contrast icon:
1. install an icon into the HighContrast theme
2. install a symbolic icon into the default hicolor theme
The latter is preferred nowadays, and implemented in the high-contrast
CSS variant by enforcing the symbolic icon style.
However together with the way we currently enable/disable high-contrast,
this can lead to the following race:
1. the GTK theme is changed from HighContrast
2. we reload the default stylesheet
3. the icon style changes to "regular", so we request a
new icon from the HighContrast icon theme
4. the icon theme is changed from HighContrast
5. we evict existing icons from the cache
6. we reload icons for the new icon theme; however as we
find a pending request (from 3), we re-use it
7. the request from 3 finishes, and we end up with a
wrong icon in the cache
The simplest fix is to change the icon theme before the GTK theme: Unlike the
theme name, the icon style is encoded in the cache key, so we won't re-use
an old (and incorrect) request in that case.

When launching the default calendar application, we special-case
evolution to make sure it starts up with the calendar component.
This is currently broken in two ways:
- evolution changed its .desktop file to use reverse DNS notation
- as evolution can now be distributed via flatpak, we can no longer
assume that 'evolution-calendar.desktop' exists when evolution does
(even though we ship the .desktop file ourselves, it is considered
invalid if the executable isn't found)

At least for the time being, this looks like the easiest option to
launch the service:
- we could add a systemd unit, but then we'd need to update the
RequiredComponents in the fallback session definition as well,
making it necessary for gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions and
gnome-session to be updated to 3.36.1 in lockstep
- autostart is problematic as it would make gnome-shell conflict
with other notification daemons; also autostart is most useful
with automatic shutdown, which would require tracking signal
subscriber to determine when the service is unused

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

These paths are meant for Xwayland, not for X11 compositors being restarted
through alt-f2 + r. Maybe some signal analogous to init-xserver should be
added for Xwayland shutdown paths, but this signal we are currently
listening for is backend agnostic.

Since the FolderViews are not connected to the "installed-changed"
signal, we need to reload their apps by calling _redisplay() when an app
is removed or installed. We can't connect to "installed-changed" inside
FolderView because we need to ensure _redisplay() of the FolderView is
called before AppView tries to access the apps of the folder inside
_refilterApps(). So reload the FolderViews inside AllViews _redisplay()
implementation to ensure everything is up to date before accessing the
apps of the folder.
Since the "apps-changed" signal of FolderIcon now indirectly triggers a
_redisplay() of the FolderViews, the 'changed' handler of FolderView is
now redundant and can be removed. Because of this, we also need to move
the emission of the "apps-changed" signal to the start of the signal
handler to make sure the view is updated before we try to access items
of the view.

The _redisplay() function is usally used for subclasses of BaseAppView
which want to implement their own _redisplay() function, having that
function name in two classes which have nothing to do with BaseAppView
can be quite confusing. Make those names less confusing and call the
functions _sync() and _rebuildMenu() instead.

The viewBox has a border applied, so when we call adaptToSize using only
the content box of the container, the width of the border is not removed
from the content box and the grid will be allocated less space than what
we told it before using adaptToSize.
Fix that by adjusting the content box for the size of the viewBox, too.
This makes sure the correct amount of columns can be shown inside a
folder, since right now we only show 3 colums even though 4 would fit.

Since 38da479ee we correctly ceil the non-integer radius of the slider

factor that in when calculating the offset.

Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related
setting that isn't exposed over D-Bus, and therefore requires consumers
to access the GSettings directly.
Expose the setting as UserExtensionsEnabled readwrite property in the
org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface to allow consumers to manage
extensions purely via D-Bus.
The 'disable-user-extensions' setting is the last extension-related

Currently, a failure to start the Systemd unit `gsd-xsettings.target`
would be considered a failure to start Xwayland.
That means that if `gsd-xsettings.target` fails to start for whatever
reason, no X11 client can be used on Wayland.
However, XSettings is by no mean mandatory for X11 clients and many
legacy X11 clients do not implement XSettings. Those who do always have
a fallback path and therefore can still work without XSettings.
Make a failure to start the Systemd unit `gsd-xsettings.target` non
blocking for Xwayland, and just log a warning message.
