Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786145
We need to consider the scaling factor in effect when updating the user's
avatar, and also make sure to update it as well whenever the scaling
factor changes.

The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We currently expand the workspace switcher when workspaces are being
used, that is when there are any windows on a non-active workspace.
While this helps with the switcher's discoverability, it does eat into
the space available for window previews. By now the component should
be well established, so we can afford opting for space efficiency and
only expand the switcher while the user actually interacts with it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
The overview's window picker is primarily about windows, and as the
previews that represent them are more effective the bigger they are,
it makes sense to scale down competing elements; start by reducing
the size of workspace thumbnails on the right ...

Instead of potentially loading a background mid-way when it changes, and

About every other situation can do with synchronizing keyboard visibility,
and keyboard layout changes are already handled internally in the Keyboard

A downside of this approach is that once created, there will always be a

In case where a method- and property name overlap, using the method
is less unambiguous than I thought - mozjs52-based gjs will only see
the method, while mozjs38-based gjs will only see the property. We
are in luck though, and the real property name contains dashes that
allow us to refer to the property in a way that works for all gjs
versions.

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,

ClutterActor has both a has_pointer() method and a :has-pointer
property (that we represent as 'has_pointer'). So far gjs was
able to deal with the name overlap, but now trying to use the
property will instead test for the availability of the method.
Just avoid the conflict by switching to the method, which is
unambiguous.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
We now cancel animations on override, however we also want to cancel
animations altogether on unmap (that is, when hiding the overview)
to avoid icons swarming into the void.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
Until now we were waiting the animation to complete to allow the user to
make a new animation. This could bring some problems and annoy nervous
users.
Instead of that, destroy clones on new animations triggers and
create a new animation with the new direction.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
The animation needs the icons' final positions, so we currently defer
it to a ::notify::allocation handler; however as starting the animation
during an allocation cycle would trigger a Clutter warning, it is
further deferred to a MetaLater. While this usually works, it is possible
that the allocation is already valid when we connect the signal, in which
case the animation is triggered at a later unexpected time. Switch to
a more robust ::paint handler instead, which also allows us to get rid
of the double-delay.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible

Customization of keycombo actions for strips/rings was lost in the

The method currently catches errors that occur when calling the
extension's init() method, but throws itself an error if the
expected extension.js file is missing. The former is pointless
if we expect all callers to handle errors themselves anyway, and
we should avoid the latter if we don't - opt for the second option
and handle a missing extension.js file gracefully.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781728
While we catch errors that occur when calling init(), enable() or
disable(), the import itself can throw an exception, for instance
if the extension imports an unavailable typelib or tries to draw

Both reloadExtensions() and enableExtensions() are already expected
to catch extension errors. If they don't, this is the bug that

Those will go away when we port authentication prompts to the new
MessageDialogContent widget, so pick the style classes from there
and adjust individual properties with more specific rules to re-

A lot of our modal dialogs share a similar structure:
[Icon] Some title
Maybe a subtitle
And sometimes even a body for stuff like
longer descriptions.
A dedicated widget with a common style will allow us to significantly
reduce duplication of both code and CSS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784985
This is the basic dialog actor implementation, which will allow us to
use the same implementation on the session-global modal dialogs. The
ModalDialog class now uses it underneath, and so do all users of it.

let trackChrome accept actors that are not children of chrome actors.
this will be useful for the MetaCloseDialog in gnome-shell, which

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762083
The actor allocation will be invalid on CLUTTER_TOUCH_BEGIN, because
it comes together with a CLUTTER_ENTER event that will recalculate
styles, and queue a relayout in result.
The net result is that on CLUTTER_TOUCH_BEGIN, the relayout has been
already queued, so the slider width comes up as 0, and the value ends
up as 1. Later touch events already happen on a validated actor, so
it is corrected. Still, not fun when modifying the volume slider on a
touchscreen.
Having descriptions with multiple lines will clutter
the view and make it more confusing for the user. Apart
from that, it also makes the search result a lot bigger,
potentially losing general vertical alignment.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The classes extending the SearchResult can now connect
to the 'terms-changed' signal emitted by the SearchResult
class. This signal enables each object to update its
internal description in order to apply the bold style
onto strings that match the search terms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to prepare for applying the bold style to the part
of the description that matches the search terms, we need
to listen for the signal that announces the fact that the
search terms have changed. Given the fact that the
SearchResults class is aware of the changes regarding the
search terms, the classes that extent SearchResult need
to have a reference to it in order to listen for the
to-be-implemented 'terms-changed' signal.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
Since results are now much more concise and take up less
space, we can use the 'saved' space to provide the user
with more search results for each provider.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The current separator uses a gradient effect as a separator
between search results. As the mockups suggest, the gradient
separator is no longer needed, in favor of a more simple one,
which is a thin semitransparent line.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to match the current mockups, the providerIcon
class needed to include both the name of the provider
and the label that informs the user about how many more
search results are available for that specific provider.
The latter replaces the plus sign icon that has been
used so far.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to make gnome-shell search functionality fit on
smaller screens, like those of devices, search results
need to take advantage of more horizontal space so that
any extra space can be used efficiently.
In order to do so, change the layout of the ListSearchResult

decrease the padding of the list-search-result-content css
class.

If the padOsd is given a nonexistent ring/strip, things would fail

PopupMenu needs special-treatment of certain types of menu items,
which it determines via children's _delegate property. However as
the calendar drop-down is very unmenu-ish, we use regular actors
rather than PopupMenuItems and the missing _delegate property
triggers a warning. Just add it as the bare minimum to make
PopupMenu happy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
The destroy effect currently relies on a monkey-patched property
added from the map effect. However on X11 it is possible that we
did no map animation for a window that is destroyed when the shell
was restarted or had taken over from another WM. Just use the real
MetaWindow property to avoid a warning in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
It's possible for updateRegions() to be called before monitors have

Don't try to access a non-existent engine - it probably makes sense to

We only use lastItem() to reset the history index to the end, so
nobody noticed the utter nonsense in the return value until gjs
started to warn about it. As we don't actually use the value
anywhere, we could just remove it, but the function name implies
that an item is returned, so fix it to behave as advertised.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
We need to track the open-status of indicator menus, but don't want
to hook up signals more than once, so we check for the handler ID
we store on the object. As the property is only defined once we did
set up the signal connection, this check now logs a warning. We
can avoid it by checking for the existence of the property rather
than a particular value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
To avoid recreating the app menu unnecessarily, the panel checks
whether the menu's current actionGroup already matches the target
one. However as the menu's actionGroup property is currently private,
the test always fails, whoops.

We currently use "array[index]" to test whether an array has an
element at index before using it. However nowadays gjs warns about
accessing non-existent array elements, so the test itself already
produces a warning. Avoid this by checking the array length before
using an index to access an element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey
version used by gjs now warns when accessing those properties, so we
should make sure that they are properly initialized to avoid log spam,
even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

The user list uses the same indication for hover and focus, so it
is possible for two items to be highlighted at the same time. Using
different styling would improve the situation, but only to some
extent - the user would still need to figure out which highlight
corresponds to which activation method. So instead, copy the
approach we use in popup menus and use a single property for
highlights that is updated by both focus- and hover changes.

It is possible to use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume without
opening the system menu, but there is no feedback other than the

Since commit 2c070d38, we add a ClickAction to the visible AltSwitcher

component grab when the first activates.
Currently we only drop the StButton grab on long-press, we also need
to cancel any initiated long-press on click.

We currently assume that window state changes are accompanied by an

While the string returned by formatTime() should follow the locale's
text direction as a whole, the actual time part is always expected
to put hours on the left and minutes to the right. It is possible to
enforce that by inserting a left-to-right mark, but so far this is
only done by the Hebrew translation. So in order to not require all
other RTL translations to be fixed individually, just insert the
mark into the returned string ourselves like gnome-desktop's WallClock

The fullscreen animation code is now generic enough to handle any
size change animations, so stop limiting it to (un)fullscreen to
get animations on (un)maximize as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766685
Currently, the translation values are set with the assumption that
one of the actors represents a fullscreen window. In order to
generalize it for any size change transition, we can simply swap
the monitor rect with the source or target rect as appropriate,
and translate the actor from the target to the source position by
subtracting the former and adding the latter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766685
Since there is already targetRect that represents where the
window is going to move, rename oldRect to sourceRect to
represent from where the window is moving.

If the popup happens to be mapped beneath the pointer, mutter will now
emit an implicit enter notify event (i.e. not caused by pointer motion).
In this case the switcherPopup still goes and selects the item, which
results in too sensitive alt-tab menus if the pointer happens to be in
the wrong place.
Make highlighting rely on motion events instead, so it always involves
user interaction when triggered by the pointer.

The solid black top bar we currently use works well for maximized
or tiled windows, as it puts focus on the application content by
blending into the monitor bezel. However it also visually reduces
the screen space, which is particularly noticeable when no window

a better option in that case, so track window positions and add
some transparency when the top bar is free-floating.

The caribou daemon only gives us focus tracking, which is almost 1:1 with

As we still need underneath a CaribouDisplayAdapter to drive the keyboard,
reuse the wayland one, which has been renamed to make it look generic, plus
it will use the virtual input device API from mutter/clutter.

So far, the GWeatherInfo was given the enabled weather providers
as a parameter, at construction time. Because of the way in
which libgweather was designed, setting the providers right from
the beginning enabled libgweather to use them internally in order

when there is a valid location set, which is not guaranteed at the
time when the GWeatherInfo object is constructed.
In order to fix this, enable no providers at construction time and
only set valid providers after setting a valid location.

Generalizing menu toggling via keyboard in commit 1d58ea25ab
fixed keynav in many places, but it turns out that it also adds
unexpected interactions in some cases where the source is not
button-like, as for example the entry context menus provided by
ShellEntry. Commit e33c68a415 fixed one case, however it is still
possible for plain enter/space to unexpectedly trigger the menu
if the entry itself doesn't consume the event, which is the case
when ClutterText:editable is false. However for a general fix, it
makes more sense to consider the source actor's :reactive property
and disable toggling menus via keyboard when they cannot be toggled
by pointer either - expecting non-editable entries to be non-reactive
as well seems like a reasonable assumption, and indeed all our code
follows that pattern.

component and as geoclue's authorization agent).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
It doesn't make sense to tie the proxy code for flatpak's permission
store to the location indicator, just because that was the first
component to use it, so split it into a separate module.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
The setting to globally disable location settings altogether isn't
handled by the geoclue service itself, but by the authorization
agent. This means that:
- it doesn't apply to system components
(which gnome-shell is now considered[0])
- it doesn't apply once the geoclue connection
has been authorized
However users can reasonably expect that we won't use location services
after they disabled them, so handle the setting explicitly.

We currently use automatic location for weather forecasts if the
corresponding Weather setting is set, however we should take other
factors into account as well:
- whether location services are enabled at all
- whether Weather has been authorized to use them
In preparation of these changes, track the setting's value in a
separate property and make _useAutoLocation a getter, so we can
extend it with additional conditions easily.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
Setting GWeatherInfo:location to null helpfully doesn't mean
"no location", but "NYC". This obviously isn't what we want

When using the 'disable-lock-screen' setting to lock down the screen
lock, the expectation is that users cannot lock the screen. However
as it turns out, all the setting currently does is hiding the lock
button in the system menu and making the lock settings in the privacy
panel inactive. That means that if the 'lock-screen-enabled' setting
isn't disabled and locked down as well, we will just continue to
lock the screen on inactivity - not to mention the keyboard shortcut
that isn't subject to that setting anyway.
Instead of expecting administrators to hunt down every possible way
of locking the screen and disabling it individually, we can easily
handle all cases by refusing to lock the screen when disabled by the
lockdown settings.

Dragging and dropping app icons is expected to work anywhere over a
workspace, however overlaid elements are added to a separate hierarchy
and can thus block valid drop targets. This wasn't much of an issue
while we had just the window title, but since the addition of the
focus border, drops on window previews stopped working entirely.
Fix this by hiding all non-reactive overlay elements from picks.

We rely on the service to detect whether a fingerprint reader is

Currently when the wifi selection dialog is open when the screen lock is

The critical hint is meant to be used for notifications that must not
be missed - running out of battery being the prime example - so it
makes sense to ignore the policy in that case and make sure to always
show them to the user. This is consistent with blocking normal
notifications while showing a fullscreen window, but letting critical
ones through.

Whenever there's more than one pad in the same group (eg. Wacom ExpressKey
Remotes), show a popdown menu to allow configuring those extra pads.

Also, allow to quickly change between pads by switching to its OSD by
just interacting with them. Always given they are in the same group.

Telepathy's role has been diminishing continuously over the last
couple of years, so while chat integration is a nice feature for
those who use it, it is hard to justify keeping it as a hard
dependency. To address this, split out the component from the

providing any chat integration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779878
If GeoClue is not responding for some reason, the callback of
Geoclue.Simple.new would not get called, meaning that _gclueFailed
remains false. This is preventing the fallback to the most recently
used location in gnome-weather, because it requires _gclueFailed to be
true (or auto-location to be disabled). So neither code path sets a
location and the libgweather default (New York City) is being used
instead.

For most notifications, banners are suppressed while the monitor
that is used to display banners is in fullscreen. With the old

The telepathy integration was written at a time where gjs didn't

Commit c6f22826cf added a call to update() to refresh the notification
time for sent and received messages. However as it omits the bannerMarkup
parameter, escaped text like ''' now makes it through verbatim.
Rather than adding the parameter, we can just refresh the timestamp in
the existing update() call to fix the issue - it means the notification
timestamp is only refreshed for received messages, but that reflects
the text shown in the notification, which isn't updated for sent
messages either.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779435
Media notifications currently always show the forward and backward
buttons as clickable, regardless of whether the corresponding action
is available or not. Media players usually address this by rendering
controls insensitive in this case, so do the same here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773884
Without the boxy background, event messages look a bit plain and
unaligned with other messages. Adding an icon addresses this,
however as repeating the same icon over and over again in case of
many events would be rather noisy, only show it for the top event
as in the mockups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Update the notification style according to the latest mockups:
- make notification icons smaller and prefer symbolic variants
- remove background box when not hovered/focused
- increase spacing between elements
- use normal text sizes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
For notifications in the message list, it is usually less relevant
when exactly it occurred, but how long ago. So rather than showing
the exact time and expecting the user to figuring out the timespan
themselves, change the format to something human readable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Currently the secondary actor (if set) and the close button are
exclusive, that is the latter replaces the former on hover. As
the swapping feels rather busy and there's no real reason both
cannot be shown at the same time, keep the secondary actor always
visible.
A welcome side effect is that it no longer needs to be placed at
the end, so we can move the notification timestamp right next to
the corresponding title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
The section titles usually don't provide a lot of value - messages
themselves are usually pretty unambiguous about their type, and
having a hidden shortcut to some settings panel or application isn't
essential either - except when showing the selected date when browsing
other days, as it adds context to the listed events. Based on that,
remove the section title as a general MessageListSection feature and
move it into the EventsSection, where we only show it when it is useful.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
We will eventually remove section titles from the message list to
reduce visual noise and give the actual information provided by
the messages more space. So in order to not lose the ability to
mass-dismiss messages, the latest mockups spot a "Clear All" button
at the bottom - implement that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
The latest mockups contain a button to clear all sections at once.
As some elements cannot be cleared, we need to provide that information
to avoid offering an action that has no effect.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Weather conditions - at least as far as online services are
concerned - don't usually change in a couple of minutes.
So when updating shortly after a previous update, assume
the current conditions are still valid and trigger an
update without showing a loading indication. This should
help a bit with not getting stuck permanently in loading
state when on a shitty network.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
Similar to the Clocks integration we've had in the date+time drop-down for
a while, the designs have called for a similar section that integrates
GNOME weather as well. Use the WeatherClient added in the previous commit
to implement that section and add it to the popover.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
In preparation of integrating GNOME Weather, add a helper class that
retrieves weather information according to Weather's configuration
if the application is installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
In order to avoid distracting popup size changes while browsing
other dates, we freeze the size to the last size request. However
in case of more complex size negotiations - wrapping or ellipsizing
labels, scrollable elements etc. - there's a chance of stray calls
to get_preferred_width/height() that are not used for the actual
allocation. If such a call happens to be the last size request
before the layout is frozen, the saved size will be wrong. To fix
this, save the allocated size rather than the requested one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
We want the width of the calendar column to be determined by the
calendar, other elements should adjust their allocation accordingly.
However neither ellipsization nor wrapping will kick in unless the
parent's width is restricted, so use a small custom layout manager
that enforces the desired behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
As the telepathy integration picks up existing channels on startup,
ChatNotifications are another case where the real time the message
was received may be before the time it is picked up by the shell.
While this is less of an annoyance than restored GNotifications, as
it generally only affects restarts from the run dialog, it's an
easy fix now ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775799
GNotifications are persistent until dismissed or withdrawn, including
across restarts. As we show the time a notification was received in the
calendar, we need to include that information when serializing the
notification in order to be correct.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775799
Since the last notification redesign, we've been showing the time a
notification was received in the calendar drop-down. However as the
time is in fact added by the NotificationSection, it is actually the
time a notification was added to the list. Usually that difference is
not significant, except when previously received notifications are
restored on startup.
In order to be able to address those cases, we need a time that is
associated with the notification itself, so add a datetime property
that defaults to the current time, but may be set from an optional
parameter as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775799
When gnome-clocks is installed, there is currently a race between the
GSettings schema being added to the database and the world clocks
session trying to use it. The prize if we win that race is an abort
in GIO, so use the newly added AppSettingsMonitor skip the race
altogether.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766410
When integrating with optional components like Clocks, it is not safe
to access their GSettings right after the application became visible
to the AppSystem:
Installation is usually not atomic, so the .desktop file may appear
before the settings schema, in which case Gio will abort due to an
"invalid" schema ID.
To address this, add a small helper class that wraps the settings
access in a safe way.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766410
The display configuration now exposes a setting to automatically

While the extension prefs tool is not meant as the primary way for

When gnome-shell fails to start on login, gnome-session tries to
re-launch it again with all extensions disabled. This is currently
implemented by clearing the list of enabled extensions, which means
the user needs to re-enable their extensions manually again.

gnome-session can use without interfering with the user setting.

We currently assume that if a .desktop file has been renamed (that
is, it is in our rename list), the updated ID will be used. That
assumption was mostly sound when the list contained only GNOME apps
following the same release cycle as gnome-shell, but as applications
with less ties to the GNOME schedule adopt the reverse DNS notation,
it becomes more likely for apps to appear in the list before actually
being updated on the system. Handle this case by only renaming IDs
for which the replacement can be resolved to an existing application.

Using a MetaWindowActor's shaped texture as the source for window
clones means that if there are further MetaSurfaceActor children
(e.g. a wayland client using sub-surfaces) they don't get cloned.
This obviously wasn't an issue until wayland clients introduced the
possibility of having multiple MetaSurfaceActors under a
MetaWindowActor but there's no fundamental reason we can't clone the
toplevel actor.
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone is the one class that was already using
the MetaWindowActor instead of the texture although it seems to have

We have no guarantees on the number of ::size-changed signals that we may

Wayland clients can request their surfaces to be fullscreened before
commiting a buffer which means that we need to handle fullscreen
requests for which the old size is 0x0, preferably without warnings.

bail out and ignore the fullscreen size change.

Wayland clients are in control of their window size so the existing
mutter plugin API, which assumes size changes are synchronous, doesn't
work for them since when our size-change handler runs the MetaWindow's
size isn't final yet.
To fix this, the mutter plugin API was extended with a size-changed
vfunc that lets us know when the MetaWindow size has actually
changed. This way we can make the window snapshot and get the old
window size on the existing size-change handler and later, on the new
size-changed handler, get the new size and start the animation.

Any network devices appear as top level items in the system status

not locked: If the user types her password, the first character will
lift the shield and the remaining input will go to the focused window.
To prevent this from happening, only allow printable keys when the
