With workspaces now being stacked vertically, the horizontal
indicators in the workspace switcher are rather odd. There are
some designs for an improved workspace switch animation, but
it may take a while to implement them, so for now just change
the orientation of the existing switcher.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641931
The new plans for a row of workspace thumbnails on the right side of the
overview means that the mental model we present to the user will be
vertical, so switch the Metacity workspace layout to be vertical and
adjust the keybinding handling, animations, and workspace layout in
the overview to match.
(This commit does not change the workspace switching indicator pending
finalization of what we want to do with that - it still shows workspaces
arranged vertically.)

MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.

Modal dialogs slide back into the titlebar of the parent window when destroyed.
This looks weird if the parent window itself has been destroyed, so cancel the
effect in this case.

Override the new mutter preference /apps/mutter/general/attach_modal_dialogs
to attach modal dialogs to their parent window. Animate the modal dialogs
expanding from the top of the parent window. Slowly dim the parent window
after the dialog comes up.

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.
Replace the current workspace switcher popup (which is still the old metacity popup), with a clutter based one, which fits better into the overall shell design.

The design document states:
"Animate the action as shrinking into or being consumed by the Activities Item"
This makes it clear what happens to the window (i.e it doesn't vanish but can be brought back by going to the overview).

This slightly changes the behaviour of the alt+tab window, this way:
when using alt-tab on a workspace that contains two or more windows from
the same window, the application selected when hitting alt+tab is the
currently selected application, but the highlighted window is the next
one.
Intended goal is to make it easier to cycle around windows of the same
application while not having to cycle through all the applications first.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
It slows things down, it's a slightly weird effect, and because the
window is still live while it's animating, you may see subwindows
being destroyed during the animation.

The maximize effect looked really ugly. In the absence of any cooler
effects, none at all is better than what we have. Current compiz
doesn't have one either.
Note that in the future when we merge the frame into the panel
in the maximize case, we may want an effect for that.
Replace 'overlay' with the more descriptive name 'overview'
where the Activities Overview is meant. Call it Overview
(capitalized) in code comments.
The overlay-group and overlay-key provided by Mutter are not
affected, since they may be used for other components than
the Activities Overview.
Rather than having main.js manage this, put it into overlay.js, and
have the overlay object emit signals that other code can watch to do
things when the overlay is showing/shown/hiding/hidden.
Try to fix all places where we accidentally used foo_bar instead
of fooBar for function names, function parameters, and variables.
(Lucas Rocha pointed out one example.)

This is a fairly simple implementation, not all that different from
plain metacity's. Further improvements could be made to
js/ui/altTab.js in the future.

Automatically removes tweens on destroyed actors, and provides
additional "animation started/stopped" callbacks (eg, for tracking
whether or not to show window clone titles)
Since tweener can't do multiple tweens on the same property, it
calls an overwrite callback for any existing tweens when a new
tween is added for the same property. Here we use the overwrite
callback to tell mutter that the effects are done.
Previously we were only doing this check for switch-workspace, but it
makes sense to do it for all transitions, since they won't be visible
anyway, and they might interfere with the overlay's operations by moving
windows around unexpectedly.

switchWorkspaceDone was being called with the wrong 'this', causing
ShellWM.completed_switch_workspace() never to be called, causing stacking
order to get confused.
