gnome-shell/js/ui/shellDBus.js
Colin Walters 4876474be3 Add shellDBus.js which implements Eval(str) and an OverviewActive property
For various reasons I'd like a method which allows evaluation; say
log in from another machine and run "gnome-shell --repl" or something.

Also as a possible solution for the screensaver X grab issue, add
a (read/write) property "OverviewActive".
