If an interface has any signals, we don't want to auto-shutdown while a caller is still connected to a signal. Unfortunately we can't tell whether there are any signal connections, so we track all callers instead, and keep the service alive while any of them is still on the bus. For services that we call from gnome-shell itself - like screencasts or extensions - this has the unintended side effect of effectively disabling auto-shutdown. Address this by exempting the org.gnome.Shell name from sender tracking. Services that we expect to keep running for the lifetime of the shell already disable auto-shutdown, so the only downside is a small startup delay to resolve the well-known shell name. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7250 Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3052>
GNOME Shell
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.
For more information about GNOME Shell, including instructions on how to build GNOME Shell from source and how to get involved with the project, see the project wiki.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. Please refer to the Schedule wiki page to see the supported versions.
Contributing
To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message
guidelines. If a merge request
fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL
to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant
topic, such as panel: or status/network:, and it's always better to write
too much in the commit message body than too little.
Default branch
The default development branch is main. If you still have a local
checkout under the old name, use:
git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
