We have made good progress with transitioning to the new style,
to the point where we can complete it with a final push.
Start with changing the remaining places that still use double
quotes.

Now that the app menu indicator is no longer shown, it shouldn't be possible
to toggle the popup menu via keyboard shortcut anymore, so remove the code
and gsettings definitions for that.

This is done just to "reset" the gesture when a grab operation
begins. With grab ops being based on ClutterGrab now, the gesture
will be implicitly reset when these happen. This is unnecessary now.

After porting the more complex cases - in particular those that
affect a module's API - we are left with straight-forward D-Bus
method calls that can be moved to promise-based wrappers in one
go.
For consistency, this also switches from Remote to Async where
the call result is ignored.

When a window with a modal dialog gets minimized and at the same time
the dialog is closed, the WindowDimmer undim animation starts and gets
cancelled when the minimize animation is done, because that unmaps the
window actor.
In this case we want ensure the dimming effect still goes into a
proper state instead of being stuck mid-animation, so listen to
onStopped instead of onComplete for syncing state of the window dimmer.
While at it, clean things up a little and move the check for the
attach-modal-dialogs pref inside the _syncEnabled() function.

Start using the new methods to simplify signal cleanup. For now,
focus on replacing existing cleanups; in most cases this means
signals connected in the constructor and disconnected on destroy,
but also other cases with a similarly defined lifetime (say: from
show to hide).
This doesn't change signal connections that only exist for a short
time (say: once), handlers that are connected on-demand (say: the
first time a particular method is called), or connections that
aren't tracked (read: disconnected) at all.
We will eventually replace the latter with connectObject() as
well - especially from actor subclasses - but the changeset is
already big enough as-is :-)

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

The original popup included arrows that indicated the direction of
the switch. We stopped doing that a long time ago, and ever since
the popup has only indicated active vs. non-active workspaces.
Simplify both the API and style to reflect that.

If the finish function isn't specified, promisify will now try
to use the async name without '_async'/'_begin' suffix (if any)
and '_finish' appended.
Everything except IBus uses a variation of that pattern, so there's
quite a bit of boilerplate we get to remove…

The unfullscreen gesture was defaulting to enabled until the first
window focus change. With it now being run in the capture phase, the
gesture was preventing clicks in the top panel except on the activities
button before the first window was opened.

Firstly don't use EASE_IN for any minimize/unminimize animations because
those start slow and end fast. The effect of that was minimize/unminimize
appearing to be unresponsive to user clicks for a little while before
accelerating away. All such animations should be EASE_OUT for an immediate
response followed by deceleration at the end.
Secondly we replace the shallow 200ms QUADratic curves with a steeper
400ms EXPOnetial curve. Because it's steeper and twice as long the fast part
feels the same as 200ms QUAD, but there's an extra 200ms after that in which
to slow down smoothly giving a more fluid appearance. No sudden stops.

If you slow down the unminimize animation you will notice it overshoots and
then snaps back, but only for decorated windows. Undecorated windows would
unminimize to their correct position. So we remove decorations from the
equation and now all window types unminimize to their correct position.
This wasn't noticeable because the unminimize animation velocity is usually
so high at the end (EASE_IN_EXPO) that there are no frames rendered near the
end of the curve to show it had overshot.
This appears to be consistent with the Mutter source - associating the
actor geometry with `buffer_rect` and not `frame_rect`. See
`meta_window_actor_sync_actor_geometry` for example.

Previously we used `get_image()`, which returned `cairo_surface`,
in order to create a `ClutterContent` with a screenshot of the
`MetaWindowActor`. This added a roundtrip from GPU to CPU memory.
Instead, use the new `paint_to_content()` API which lets us use a
`CoglTexture` directly as source of our `ClutterContent`.

Since touchpad smooth scroll events with source finger are handled by
the swipeTracker, the workspace scroll handler can focus on discrete
events.
Thanks to Mutter emulating discrete scroll events, see
meta_seat_impl_notify_scroll_continuous_in_impl in meta-seat-impl.c,
it is safe to ignore smooth scroll in the workspace scroll handler
and handle exclusively discrete events.
In addition, once high-resolution scroll events land in Mutter [1], a
mouse will be able generate non emulated smooth scroll events that
should be ignored in favour of the discrete scroll events.
Otherwise, a single mouse wheel click will scroll through multiple
workspaces at once.

With Xwayland started on demand, mutter/gnome-shell will spawn Xwayland
and GNOME settings daemon Xsettings.
Currently, gnome-shell uses a timeout of 5 seconds before canceling the
launch and declare failure to start X11 services.
While 5 seconds may seem like a lot of time, when this is executed on a
virtual machine part of a QA tests under load, this causes random
failures.
There is no good value here, we could increase the timeout but it will
always remain racy. Instead, remove the timeout, systemd itself already
has a timeout mechanism (with a much longer wait time).
Thanks to Benjamin Berg <bberg@redhat.com> for finding the root cause
and suggesting the fix.

On systems/setups not using systemd, a failure to start gsd-xsettings
with NOT_SUPPORTED does not denote a failure to start Xwayland, just
that we're not using systemd.
In that case, we should just ignore the error, otherwise it will prevent
Xwayland to start on such systems/setups without systemd.
Thanks to Rose Kunkel (@rosekunkel) for spotting the issue/suggesting
the fix.
Fixes: 019229c40e - windowManager: Return failure to start X11 services

If for some reason the xserver failed to start, mutter/gnome-shell
should not attempt to connect to the X11 display otherwise it will
lock up in XCB.
An indication of such a premature failure of the xserver is when the X11
services fail to start.
Return the status so that the caller can cancel the connection in time
and avoid the lockup of mutter/gnome-shell in case of failure.
This, however, makes the X11 services a critical component to start
Xwayland, meaning that a failure to start those services for any other
reason than the xserver failing to start would still prevent Xwayland
and therefore X11 clients to run in Wayland. This is however a lesser
issue than mutter/gnome-shell locking up.
This basically reverts commit a96753f0 - "windowManager: X11 can work
without gsd-xsettings".

Change behavior on pressing Super+Number in Activities/Overview mode
so that the overview mode is hidden and application can be used.
This makes it consistent with clicking icon in the dash.

Currently, gnome-shell uses the wrong scrolling direction for
horizontal scrolling events.
When dx < 0 for a smooth scroll event, then the scrolling direction is
supposed to be Clutter.ScrollDirection.LEFT, instead of
Clutter.ScrollDirection.RIGHT, as dx is smaller than 0.
Fix this issue by swapping the values LEFT and RIGHT.

So far, we couldn't allow workspace scrolling outside the overview
because scroll events were always sent to clients. However mutter
was changed recently to pass on scroll events when the mouse button
modifier (usually super) is pressed, which allows us to enable the
same workspace scrolling as in the overview now.
