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
key) are read from ~/.config/gnome-shell/perf.ini.
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add a helper function to write a string as UTF-8 to a GOutputStream.
The signature of GOutputStream:
gboolean g_output_stream_write_all (GOutputStream *stream,
const void *buffer,
gsize count,
gsize *bytes_written,
GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error);
Can't currently be handled by GJS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add gnome-shell options:
--perf-iters=ITERS"
Numbers of iterations of performance module to run
--perf-warmup
Run a dry run before performance tests
Make a successful run of a performance test return 0 not non-zero,
and handle the difference between that and a 0-exit in normal
usage (meaning replaced) in the wrapper.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Move the code that starts gnome-shell and waits for it to exit
to a function in preparation for running it multiple times when
doing iterations of a performance test.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),
and use that to define two metrics:
usedAfterOverview: bytes used after the overview is shown once
leakedAfterOverview: additional bytes used when the overview is
shown a second time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add a facility for defining and recording numeric statistics
as performance events
shell_perf_log_define_statistic()
Define a statistic and the corresponding event type
shell_perf_log_update_statistic_[ix]() -
Update the stored statistic value
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)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
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
without a width, we assigned min-width to ->width, thus effectively
treating it as a maximum.
Just delete that bit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618482
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+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608647
Passing an explicit width in the wfh case or a height in the hfw case
messes up the request caching, and confuses actors that assume they
won't be called with an explicit width/height unless they're being
allocated along the other axis.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618295
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595507
Add StContainer, which implements the ClutterContainer interface based
on the container methods in st-private and make the existing containers
subclass it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613907
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
shell with GTK+ 2.18 when not using -DGSEAL_ENABLE.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618258
With the transition to GTK+ 3.0, direct access to struct members
will no longer be possible.
This bumps the required minimum version of GTK+ to 2.20.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618258
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618104
readlink() on /proc/<pid>/exe can have results like:
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.#prelink#.5DFZsF (deleted)
/usr/bin/gnome-session (deleted)
To find gnome-session in a more robust way, read /proc/<pid>/cmdline
instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616706
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616051
When creating the directory to store user data, XDG_DATA_HOME is
not guaranteed to exist. Also, the standard mandates permissions
of 0700 for the directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617555
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617555
The (optional) spread radius allows to make the shadow bigger without
enlarging the blur value. Mozilla supports this parameter for the
-moz-box-shadow property.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613832
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
sizes into account.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614516
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614660
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
for our focus_app versus startup_notification handling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612833
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.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614047
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.
Use <= rather than < to fix that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613944
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
more efficient.
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604943
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
was a bit lame.
Clean things up a bit here by loading directly into the CPU, doing
the fading, then creating a texture.
Also cache the faded data in StTextureCache.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612759
If we don't do this, then boolean/int/list keys will seem to sort of
work (but defaulting to false/0/[] instead of the correct schema
defaults), but string keys will return null, which will usually cause
exceptions or crashes.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611740
* Add missing chain-up for dispose and finalize methods
* ShellGenericContainer needs to destroy its children in dispose()
* Fix variable naming and excess casts in st_label_dispose()
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612511
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611740
- 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.
