Currently shadows disregard the overall opacity, so e.g. setting
an ancestor's opacity does not effect the shadow. Fix this by
deferring the setting of the shadow's color until it is painted.
Also move duplicated drawing code from st_theme_node_paint() into
its own function.

The preference dialog for the panel clock does not set its gettext

Update the GNOME Shell version to 2.31.2, and make corresponding
updates to dependencies:
clutter => 1.2.8
mutter => 2.31.2
gobject-introspection => 0.6.11
gjs => 0.7
Typo: 10000000 instead of 1000000 for a million. Also, use
G_INT64_CONSTANT instead of LL for a 64-bit constant, to avoid
extraneous 128-bit arithmetic on 64-bit machines.
Add a command line option to upload the generated performance report
to a web service. The options for the upload (url, system name, secret

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Switch from having separate METRICS and METRIC_DESCRIPTIONS objects
in a perf module to a single METRICS array. This is done so the
perf module can define the units for each metric.
In addition to improving the output in the web interface, the purpose
of having units is to give some clue about how to pick from multiple
values from different runs. In particular, with the assumption that
"noise" on the system will increase run times, for time values we want
to pick the smallest values, while for "rate" values, we want to pick
the largest value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add --perf-output=<filename> option to gnome-shell that combines
the reports written for each run by the C/Javascript code into
a complete report.
If this option is not specified, a brief human-readable summary
is printed to stdout instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
When SHELL_PERF_OUTPUT is set, instead of just dumping out the metrics, dump
a more complete report with:
- Event descriptions
- Metric descriptions and value
- Event log
Helper functions shell_perf_log_dump_events() and shell_perf_log_dump_log()
are added to ShellPerfLog to support this. The gnome-shell wrapper is adapted
to deal with the changed report format.

Add a helper function to write a string as UTF-8 to a GOutputStream.
The signature of GOutputStream:

GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error);
Can't currently be handled by GJS.

Add gnome-shell options:
--perf-iters=ITERS"
Numbers of iterations of performance module to run
--perf-warmup

Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),

shell_perf_log_add_statistics_callback()
Add a function called before collecting statistics
shell_perf_collect_statistics()
Update statistics and record events for them
In addition to the explicit collection, statistics are
recorded at a periodic interval (currently 5s)

We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.
This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.
The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.
The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
ShellPerfLog provides a way for different parts of the code to
record information for subsequent analysis and interactive
exploration. Events exist of a timestamp, an event ID, and
arguments to the event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
To support scheduling performance-measurement scripts that want to run
a number of actions in series, add shell_global_run_at_leisure() to run
a callback when all work is finished.
The initial implementation of this is not that accurate: we track
business in Tweener.js via new shell_global_begin_work(),
shell_global_end_work() functions, and we also handle the case
where the main loop is continually busy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
The API docs for ShellApp claimed it sorted by the last time the
user interacted with the app, but if one closed a window, then
we would fall back to comparing against a possibly much older
timestamp from another window. Fix this by just keeping a
user time per app.
Also clean up the comparison function to explicitly check the state
instead of deferring to the window list.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618378
The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618371
I have no idea why there existed code that if we saw e.g. min-width

Starting with gtk-2.20.0 there is a gdk_screen_get_primary_monitor,
which supports querying the primary monitor from xrandr.
But due to a sorting bug and lack of heuristics in the fallback path,
it isn't really useable.
Those bugs are fixed in gtk-2.20.1, so use it when building with
gtk-2.20.1+.

Passing an explicit width in the wfh case or a height in the hfw case

Adds the ability to create one or more zoom regions that show magnified or
enhanced views of the desktop. The magnifier provides options for:
* magnification factor,
* four mouse tracking modes common to screen magnifiers,
* positioning the magnified view in one of four screen location, or full screen,
* crosshairs to accentuate the position of the mouse,
* user preferences persistence via GConf (schemas in
.../data/gnome-shell.schemas).
* a DBus API to allow other processes to drive the magnifier as a service.

To replace all calls to deprecated code, GTK+ 2.20 is required - add
some basic compatibility code, so that is still possible to build the

With the transition to GTK+ 3.0, direct access to struct members

The StTable code only supports height-for-width. When called in
width-for-height sizing mode, instead of treating the -1 flag
value of 'for_width' as a real width, and requesting all the
children at 1 pixel wide, use the natural width of the table
as the width for determing the height.
Since we can't rewrap in width-for-height mode, we then report
the natural width also as the minimum width of the table.

The design calls for raising all windows for a given app in
certain circumstances; implement this. The new _focus method
raises all windows for the app if it's running.
We further change the _activate method (which a lot of the shell
UI calls now) to invoke _focus for the running case, which means
that e.g. the application well will now raise all app windows.

When creating the directory to store user data, XDG_DATA_HOME is
not guaranteed to exist. Also, the standard mandates permissions

As StEntry handles hover differently depending on whether it is
activated or not, the generic hover support in StWidget is
insufficient. Nevertheless it makes sense to set the hover status
using StWidget methods instead of setting the pseudo class directly.
While the extension system already uses an XDG location (XDG_CONFIG_HOME),
other components use the deprecated $HOME/.gnome2 directory.
Replace both with XDG_DATA_HOME - the existing data (app usage stats,
looking glass history and extensions) is not migrated to the new location.

To avoid visual duplication with the application menu, eliminate
the window menu button. (The window menu can still be accessed by
right-clicking on the title bar, or Alt-right-clicking anywhere on the
window.)
This is implemented using the new Mutter facility for GConf key
redirection; we add separate key for 'button_layout' with a default
that omits the menu button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591390
With the changes from bug 615586, Mutter now expects a separate start()
method which is called after construction. Move our initialization from
constructed() to start() so it can access the MetaScreen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615592
This patch combines several high level changes which are conceptually
independent but in practice rather intertwined.
* Add a "state" property to ShellApp which reflects whether it's
stopped, starting, or started. This will allow us to later clean
up all the callers that are using ".get_windows().length > 0" as
a proxy for this property
* Replace shell_app_launch with shell_app_activate and shell_app_open_new_window
A lot of code was calling .launch, but it's signficantly clearer
if we call this ".open_new_window()", and later if we gain the ability
to call into an application's menu, we can implement this correctly rather
than trying to update all .launch callers.
* Because ShellApp now has a "starting" state, rebase panel.js on top of
this so that when we get a startup-notification sequence for an app
and transition it to starting, it becomes the focus app, and panel.js
cleanly just tracks the focus app, rather than bouncing between SN
sequences. This removes display of non-app startup sequences, which
I consider an acceptable action in light of the committed changes
to startup-notification and GTK+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614755
We can't use gdk_display_get_pointer/gdk_window_get_pointer from gjs
when XKB is active. We already had a wrapper that did the
get-modifier-state part of that, but some places also need the
get-pointer-location part of it. So update our wrapper to return both,
and update js code to use it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613428
Also, remove a lot of cruft from genericDisplay.js leftover from
previous St-ifications, and remove the pre-gtk-2.16 hacks from the
status tray in panel.js (which are much less needed with the
nearly-all-black panel anyway).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614516
The actual changes to shell-menu.[ch] are pretty minimal; most of the
changes there are just style/spacing/indentation.
Also, removed shell_menu_append_separator() since it wasn't needed;
the separators would already have been behaving as intended just
because they were non-reactive.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614516
Most subclasses override get_preferred_width/height, but if they don't
(eg, StDrawingArea), then make sure they still take CSS-specified

StThemeNode holds a reference to its parent, but we never released
that reference. This could cause us to hold onto whole chains
of theme nodes with rather dire memory usage implications.
Also move the other g_object_unref into _dispose.

Currently shell_global_get_primary_monitor just returns the first screen,
in the list as primary.
This is not always correct as the first screen reported by mutter isn't always,
the first one listed by RANDR.
Use gdk_screen_* to query the monitor information and add a heuristic to prefer
LVDS displays (similar like in done for gnome-panel) to prefer the laptop's
internal screen over external displays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608647
Ok, there admittedly wasn't a strong rationale for having it in a
later, and by performing this immediately we reduce race conditions

Paint/pick all children, regardless of whether or not they lie within
the content_box. The previous behavior was that a child that was 99%
outside the box would be fully visible, but a child that was 100%
outside the box would be fully hidden. This is somewhat odd, and
doesn't match the behavior of the other St container classes, and at
any rate, the use of clutter_actor_get_allocation_box() for this
optimization was incorrect since it doesn't take into account
transformations (anchor point, rotation, etc) that might cause the
child to be drawn within the content_box anyway.
(For scrolled StBoxLayouts, drawing is still clipped to the
content_box, as before, but will now properly take transformations
into account as well.)

When the window's top-left corner is the same as the monitor's top-left
corner the check in shell_global_get_focus_monitor fails to detect that.

The idea behind this move is that we have a lot more control over
rendering if StWidget isn't a big pile of actors, and things are

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607500
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.
A pointer does not equal to an int on x86_64
(which results into pointer - pointer not being an int either),
fix that by casting the resulting value to an int.
Breakage was introduced by commit 909b5ec43c
If track-hover is set, update the hover property automatically, and
the "hover" pseudo class to match, as StClickable used to do. (Remove
the corresponding code in StClickable). Tweak the tooltip handling to
use track-hover, which also makes it slightly more reliable in the
presence of reactive children, etc.
Since style_class and pseudo_class are space-separated lists of names,
add new methods to add and remove individual names rather than just
re-setting the entire name.
Update existing code to use the new pseudo-class methods where
appropriate. In some cases, this may result in actors having multiple
pseudoclasses where previously they only had one at a time, but there
don't seem to be any visible differences.
(There are some places that could usefully use the new style_class
methods as well, but this patch doesn't change them.)
Also, update test-theme.c to test the new methods.

The way we were loading data into a CoglTexture, then pulling it out
and manipulating it on the CPU, then loading it back into a texture

Also cache the faded data in StTextureCache.

The relationship between adjustments and scrollbars and
scrollable widgets was much more complex than it needed to be.
StScrollView: Have the scroll view own a pair of adjustments,
set them on the child on add(), remove unnecessary
change notification signal connections.
StBoxLayout: Remove auto-create of adjustments, just take the
adjustments from the scrollbars and set them on the scrollable
child. Notify for hadjustment/vadjustment properties.
StScrollBar: Notify adjustment property.
StScrollable: Document how adjustment setting works.

* ShellGenericContainer needs to destroy its children in dispose()
* Fix variable naming and excess casts in st_label_dispose()

StScrollable: Document how to set adjustments
StBoxLayout: Make sure that we always have upper >= lower + page_size,
so that clamping works properly. Set the page_increment to be slightly
less than the page_size so there is some overlap, as is customary.
StScrollView: Remove unnecessary fabs() calls, rewrite expressions
for additional clarity.

- Fix existing typos and spacing problems
- Get preferred height, not current height, of shadows
- Let shadows overflow don't clamp them when we have too little space
- Remove a now-unecessary stray MAX()
- Fix up scrollview visibility for the pathological case of no child
- Disconnect from adjustments on remove()
- Don't unset the adjustments on the child on remove(), since they
already existed or were autocreated on add()
(We should what we are doing and set the adjustments of the
scrollbars on the child rather than setting the adjustments of
the child, so we match GTK+'s scrolllable interface, but this
at least makes it consistent instead of a weird mix.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611740
StScrollable: Document how size negotation now works between the
parent and scrollable child.
StBoxLayout: Adapt to the new contract for how size negotiation
works; in particular, handle being allocated less than the
minimum size when scrolled and treat the minimum size as the
size of the scrolled area in instead of the natural size.
StScrollView: Substantially rewrite with fixes including:
- Implement new size negotation contract; this allows us
to determine scrollbar visibility without having to
connect to the adjustment.
- Implement all ALWAYS along with the existing NEVER/AUTO
- When hiding and showing scrollbars and shadows, don't
hide and show widgets, just turn on and off including them
in pick and paint. This avoids queueing relayouts.
- Cleanups for the code for connecting to adjustments,
for changing policy, and for turning on and off shadows.
scroll-view-sizing.js: New test case for StScrollView, allowing
resizing the scroll view interactively, changing the scrollbar
policies and turning shadows on and off.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611740
When an StScrollView is allocated, allocating the child would
cause the adjustment values to change, which would result in
the scrollbars queueing a relayout, which isn't allowed during
allocation.
To avoid this, instead of queueing a relayout when the adjustment
changes:
- When we have a valid allocation already, just go ahead
and reallocate the children.
- Otherwise do nothing immediately and wait until we get allocated
Because the 'needs_allocation' flag in ClutterActor isn't exposed,
this requires some slightly ugly code to shadow that state locally.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611944
Having StDrawingArea use ClutterCairoTexture causes circularity
problems with sizing - StDrawingArea wants to use its allocation for
the size of the texture, but ClutterTexture wants to use the size of
the texture to determine the requited size.
Avoid this by making StDrawingArea directly use Cairo and CoglTexture;
while doing this, the API is changed a bit for simplicity and to
match our use case:
- Instead of clutter_cairo_texture_create(), we have
st_drawing_area_get_context() to retrieve an already created
context. This can only be called in the ::repaint signal.
- The ::redraw signal is changed to ::repaint so we can have
st_drawing_area_queue_repaint() that doesn't collide with
clutter_actor_queue_redraw()
- ::repaint is now emitted lazily when painting the actor rather
than synchronously at various different points.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611750
- Specify a minimum version of clutter-1.2.0
- Switch clutter branch in the moduleset to master
- Replace deprecated cogl_texture/material_unref() with

It's wrong to do anything that requires looking up a widget's style
before you add the widget to the stage, since its final style may

StButton animated the background for button transitions; since these aren't

Rather than having ShellTextureCache know about the type of each
item it's caching, this lays the foundation for simply caching
arbitrary string -> CoglHandle.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607500
For StWidget we want the ability to load raw CoglHandle references
rather than having a big pile of actors backing StWidget.
Several bits of StWidget expect to be able to synchronously load
textures; this is a crutch to support that until we can cleanly
make this asynchronous.

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".

returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this. This
function is better.

Since shell-slicer.h includes st.h, and that includes
<st/*.h>, we need to add -I $(srcdir) to the command line when
running g-ir-scanner to generate Shell-1.0.gir.
For srcdir != builddir, in the builddir, the st/ subdirectory doesn't
exist, so we can't generate st.h there. Just switch to building st.h
directly in the current directory. (The other option would be to
create a st/ subdirectory in the builddir if necessary; might be a
little cleaner, but this works for now and gets things distchecking.)

Previously we were hacking out the vertical scrollbar, this patch
allow us to sanely say in which directions we want to scroll.

st_theme_node_adjust_preferred_width/height now limit the content area

In StBin, StBoxLayout, and StTable, if a child has a potential
allocation that is larger than its preferred size, we give it its
preferred size instead. However, the corresponding
get_preferred_height/width methods were not making the same
assumption, which meant that if we had more width than the widget
wanted, we would allocate it its preferred width, but with the height
that corresponded to the larger width.
Fix this by defining new helpers _st_actor_get_preferred_width() and
_st_actor_get_preferred_height() and using them everywhere. Also, make
StBin and StTable use _st_allocate_fill() rather than having
nearly-identical duplicate copies of the code.

(And the workaround for not drawing an unintialized ClutterTexture can
be removed now, since the texture will always have been initialized.)

To comply with C89, structure initializers should have

As of 2a78adc5e3, gobject no longer allows for setting construct-only

In some situations we might need to look up an application from
a process identifier, such as the notification system where we
will determine application from the message sender.
By calling clutter_actor_get_allocation() in st_widget_recompute_style()
to determine whether to redraw gradients, we triggered a complete
reallocation of the stage for each gradient.
As gradients are processed in st_widget_real_style_changed() anyway, the
additional checks in st_widget_recompute_style() are redundant and can
be removed altogether.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608847
On style changes from gradient to solid backgrounds, the new background

The current way we keep track of skip-paint children is more
difficult than it needs to be, and can lead to subtle bugs.
(For one, the skip-paint state of a child is remembered
when it is removed then added back again, which is completely
unexpected.)
Instead of using weak references to track children, just remove
items from the skip-paint list by overriding the remove() virtual
function of the ClutterContainer interface.
The 'skip_paint' hash table is then destroyed in finalize rather than
dispose since it doesn't hold references to memory any more but just
passively tracks an attribute of the children that are currently in
the container.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608848
When moving a widget with a gradient, its allocation changes
continuously, resulting in constant redraws.
Checking for actual size changes before the operation avoids
unnecessary redraws.

The screen recording wasn't working because of two bad interactions

StButton has an internal animation for the border-image actor, then
it connects to the "completed" signal passing itself as data. However,
if the button is destroyed, nothing prevents the animation's completed
signal from then causing a reference to freed memory.
Holding a reference to the button is the most straightforward fix here.

Some theme authors have stated interest in radial gradient backgrounds.
The w3c has some draft:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#radial-gradients
As this is rather complex, we add only some very basic support, which
extends our syntax for linear gradients:
background-gradient-direction: [vertical|horizontal|radial]
Gradients are centered circles, whose size is determined by the closest
side.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604945
Some changes to the way we handle CSS gradients:
* draw without padding, thus interpreting gradients as part of the
background rather than as content
* clip to (rounded) border area
* draw the border along the gradient instead of trying to align the
gradient layer with the background/border layer
* use the border_image actor instead of the background_image one
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606257
We were holding on to UsageData structure pointers in previously_running,
but those can be purged by the unused app cleanup. Instead just hold
onto dup'd copies of the application id strings.
Add support for a new -st-shadow property, which is based loosely
on the CSS3 box-shadow property:
http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/
It defers from the specification as follows:
* no multiple shadows
* the optional color argument may be placed anywhere
* the shape is not determined by the widget's bounding box,
but by the background-image property
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603691
Change "./src/gnome-shell --create-extension" to use "gnome-open"
when opening the newly created .js file, so that it is launched
with the user's preferred text editor, instead of hardcoding gedit.
In case of duplicate infos structures with the same id, the
info structures we get from looking up the id in app_id_to_info
aren't necessarily the same as those we used to match, so we
can't rely on matching to implicitly initialize info->casefolded_name.
Since the name collation key isn't used in matching results,
just in sorting, init it on-demand in the sorting which is also more
efficient.
Move CSS handling of StLabel and StButton for their underlying
ClutterText objects into st_private, and implement support for
the underline and strikethrough St text-decoration properties.
Overline isn't implemented for lack of a corresponding Pango
attribute, and blink, well...

Consumer documentation will live at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions
In terms of implementation; basically we load extensions from the well-known
directories. Add a GConf key to disable extensions by uuid. There is a new
option --create-extension for the gnome-shell script which takes a bit of
interactive input, sets up some sample files, and launches gedit.
No extensions UI in this patch; that will come later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599661
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603523
Ideally we'd be able to override _paint, but given that we can't
at the moment, this method gives a way to implement containers
which don't happen to paint all of their children.

The synchronous close causes us to block in fsync() which has extremely
poor interactivity implications on ext3.
Also, the 5 second timeout was an accidental commit from debugging, 5

StClickable replaces ShellButtonBox. Reduce the number of
button-like things by deleting button.js.
To do so, add CSS style for the actitivies button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
Now a StBin, and add hover/active style properties. Also, add the
event to the CLICKED signal. Otherwise a straightforward namespace
transformation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
It's nicer to have ShellDrawingArea as a St widget so it can
participate more cleanly in CSS styling, such as queuing a redraw
automatically on style changes, and allowing subclasses to use
CSS styling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
Rather than having gradients be individually implemented by higher
level JS widgets, move basic gradient functionality into StWidget.
There is prior art in WebKit for CSS gradients:
http://webkit.org/blog/175/introducing-css-gradients/
However, implementing this would be quite a lot of work; all we
need in the Shell design at the moment is basic horizontal/vertical
linear gradients. So, the syntax now supported is:
background-gradient-type: [vertical|horizontal]
background-gradient-start: color;
background-gradient-end: color;
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
An earlier commit was overzealous in removing (out) annotations;
introspection supports (out) for integral types just fine, we
only need to remove them for (out) types where the caller needs
to allocate a boxed type.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
In addition to the Makefile changes, we also change uid_t to gulong in
the public API (which matches how it was already represented in the
gobject properties).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601458
In a variety of places we're using boxes as data-modeling displays,
and in doing so we often want to either remove the children or
explictly destroy them.
Now ideally Gjs would support callbacks, and this would make using
the for_each functions possible, but even then these functions
are more efficient and shorter to type, at least.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600734
If the space we're allocated is too small for our border + padding
constraints, don't give negative allocations to callers. Squash
to zero.
It isn't really useful for callers to get negative content sizes,
and certainly breaks most allocation code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600734
StTheme CSS supports different border widths for different sides. Implement
it for StWidget by drawing the border internally. However, we don't support
a nonzero corner-radius with nonuniform borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599442
Previously shell_app_remove_window assumed that it was being
passed a window in its list; rather than having callers check
whether a window is interesting and only if so removing it
from the app, just ignore removal of windows we aren't interested
in, like how we ignore addition of windows we already have.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598502
The behavior in respect to borders matches CSS - the properties set the size of
the content exclusive of the borders (CSS3 box-sizing property - not implemented
here - changes this).
min-width/min-height correspond very closely to the CSS meanings.
width/height are a little different from the CSS meanings - the CSS meaning is
"exactly this size unless overridden by min/max-width/height" - but within the
realm of our layout algorithm, making them control natural size is pretty
close.
This way we can force elements to have a fixed natural or minimum size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598651
For the purposes of determining which application is focused, don't
skip "uninteresting" windows. The old get_focused_window code
was used for usage tracking, but here we want reliable application
association.
Also convert a .text= to .set_text that was missed with the last
patch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599206
The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598646
The window lists were not being resorted when user-time changed, and
the app list was mistakenly "penalizing" apps for having *any*
minimized windows, rather than for having *only* minimized windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598389
Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598227
ClutterGroup calls _destroy, but most of St was just calling _unparent.
This caused problems because the DESTROY signal was not emitted
for child elements after destroying a toplevel. Also, in a GC'd
binding it would cause unpredictable lifetime of children.
Some St widgets simply didn't have _dispose at all; implement it.
Note because of the usage of the background_image in StButton,
we can't cleanly destroy it inside the StWidget.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597845
When we get a ClutterModifierType from Clutter, it might contain
bits not in the enumeration. See bug 59771 for a similar problem
with GdkModifierType.
Add a wrapper Shell.get_event_state() around clutter_event_get_state()
to mask these bits out and only return approved bits.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597735
gdk_display_get_pointer() sometimes returns values for the mask that
aren't part of the GdkModifierType enumeration, which gjs doesn't like
(bug 597292). Work around that by adding a C wrapper that strips out
the extra flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597559
Add StIMText, which is a drop-in replacement for ClutterIMText but
uses GtkIMContext instead of ClutterIMContext.
StIMText doesn't have preedit support (would need ClutterText
changes), so isn't going to be useful for complicated input methods,
but is good enough to get dead keys and similar working.

To work around a problem where libcroco < 0.6.2 can't handle
functions starting with 'r' or 'u', preconvert 'rgba' to 'RGBA'

that ASCII should be handled case-insensitively.)

Before we hardcoded popdowns to only button 1 before. But we need
to actually pop down on the release of the activating button.

round() is a C99 addition, so causes portability problems:
different C library versions require different #defines to
enable it. So simply avoid using it.
Property enumeration names should correspond exactly to the property names;
in particular the ACTIVE vs :checked disparity was confusing reading the
code.

Convert the StTable code from StStylable to StThemeNode. The
:row-spacing and :col-spacing GObject properties are converted
into spacing-rows and spacing-columns style properties.
A new interactive test is added for StTable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596811
Remove the StTable specific methods to add actors:
st_table_add_actor()
st_table_add_actor_with_properties()
Since they shadow the generic ClutterContainer add_actor() method,
and patch in our add() convenience function as we do for
StBoxLayout.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596811
Remove the StBoxLayout:spacing GObject property, and instead make
BoxLayout look up the spacing from the CSS style. This makes it
consistent with padding and will allow the use of units. (The
removal of the GObject property entirely instead of making it an
override is consistent with how we handle color, font, padding, etc.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596803
Add clutter-text properties to allow getting access to the underlying
ClutterText actor. This corresponds to the get_clutter_text() methods.
The PROP_LABEL and PROP_ENTRY enum values are renamed to PROP_TEXT to
match the names of the properties that they correspond to, and the
properties of StEntry are reordered into alphabetical order.
Based on a patch from Colin Walters
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591245http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6313
StBoxLayout: Make consistent that the area scrolled and clipped
to is the content area (excluding borders and padding.) Translate
back appropriately when chaining up so that the parent background
is drawn at the right place and picking on the box (if it's reactive)
picks at the right place on the screen.
clip-to-allocation is removed from StScrollView since it's just
not right - if the child has any non-moving elements, like headers or
borders, it will need to set a narrower clip. And even if the entire
child scrolls, we want to clip to an arrow that excludes the scrollbars.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595997
When a StBoxLayout is allocated a size less than its natural size,
think "shrink" needs to be divided among the children that have
a smaller minimum size than natural size.
This is done by preferentially shrinking the children that are most
expanded from their minimum size and then increasing that set of
children until we've found enough total shrink.
A new method is used of allocating children at integral sizes - instead
of rounding the per-child extra amount to an integer (which causes
cumulative round-off errors), compute the position as we go along in
floats and round individually for each child widget.
Extend the box-layout test to include of a test of a box being set
to various widths, starting quite narrow.

If the actor isn't in a stage, then setting up the adjustment
based on the actor's size (which we can't compute) and the
size of the default stage (which isn't relevant), doesn't make
sense. Just use arbitrary default values.
The adjustments will be updated to reasonable values when first
the box is first allocated.
It's not entirely clear to me why we ever want to compute the
adjustment settings this way; perhaps we should always use
default values.
http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6307https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595996
The CSS specification says that the background extends to the
edge of the border (settable in CSS3 with border-clip), make
BigRectangle match this by computing an "effective border color"
as 'border OVER background'.
(If we don't want this behavior - e.g., to be able to use the
transparent borders as margins, then alternatively transparent
border handling would have to be fixed in st-widget.c, since
prior to this transparent and translucent borders were handled
differently.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595993
The current CSS3 border-image is close to a superset of what we were
doing for -hippo-background-image. Woot! rename StThemeImage to
StBorderImage and change parsing to look for:
border-image: <url> <number>...
Rather than
-st-background-image: <url> <length>...
percentanges for the border sizes are not currently supported, neither
are the keywords for handling of the middle part. We always do 'stretch'
for now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595990
Use BigRectangle to draw the border and background if there's
a border width or border radius and no border image. (Only
uniform borders are supported for now with some deviations
from the CSS model noted in the comments.)
The background color and image parameters are removed from
StWidget's draw_background() method since they were not used
for StButton (the only current user) and the encapsulation
break that they presented caused some minor problems.
Add a test case for borders, and also use borders to style
the buttons in the 'inline-style' test case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595993
Rather than repeating the computation of borders in many different
widget subclasses, add helper functions:
st_theme_node_adjust_for_height()
st_theme_node_adjust_preferred_width()
st_theme_node_adjust_for_width()
st_theme_node_adjust_preferred_height()
st_theme_node_get_content_box()
That are used in get_preferred_width()/get_preferred_height() and
allocate() methods to consistently apply the necessary adjustments.
This allows removing the StPadding type.
Queueing a relayout when the borders/padding change is moved from
st_widget_real_style_changed() to the invoking code to allow access
to the old StThemeNode for comparison. (Should this be added as
a parameter to the signal?)
Borders are included in the geometry adjustments, but borders
are not yet drawn.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595993
Add support for parsing and caching the border-radius property.
Different radii for the 4 corners are supported; elliptical corners

ShellTheme replaces both StStyle and ccss_stylesheet_t.
The interface StStylable is replaced by usage of ShellThemeNode.
A concrete node class allows some significant optimizations of property
inheritance that would have been much more difficult to achieve with
the highly abstract pair of StStylable and ccss_node_t.
Some operations that were previously on StStylable (like the
::style-changed signal) are directly on NtkWidget.
Custom properties are no longer registered as param-specs; instead you
call directly into shell theme node to look up a length or color:
shell_theme_node_get_length (theme_node, "border-spacing", FALSE, &spacing);
The dependency on libccss is dropped, while preserving all existing
functionality and adding proper parsing and inheritance of font properties
and proper inheritance for the 'color' property.
Some more javascript tests for CSS functionality are added; workarounds for
a CSS bug where *.some-class was needed instead of .some-class are removed.

To each .c and .h file, add:
/* -*- mode: C; c-file-style: "gnu"; indent-tabs-mode: nil; -*- */

Fix panel, app switcher, and looking glass to limit themselves to the
primary monitor, and run dialog to limit itself to the monitor

Before, if the texture cache received a request to load say
the themed icon for an application multiple times (as could happen

Callers will generally expect _popup and _popdown to be a no-op if
