For development and demonstration purposes, it's neat to be able to
record a screencast of gnome-shell without any external setup.
Built-in recording can also give much better quality than is possible
with a generic desktop recording, since we hook right into the paint
loop.
src/shell-recorder.[ch]: A general-purposes object to record a Clutter
stage to a GStreamer stream.
src/shell-recorder-src.[ch]: A simple GStreamer source element (similar
to appsrc in the most recent versions of GStreamer) for injecting
captured data into a GStreamer pipeline.
src/test-recorder.c: Test program that records a simple animation.
configure.ac src/Makefile.am: Add machinery to conditionally build
ShellRecorder.

to the list of required packages for Fedora.

The pop-up previews have larger images than the item displays, which is
particularly nice when we are displaying thumbnails for documents. The
previews are also at least as wide as is required to fit the item title
on one line and the item description inside them is wrapped. Therefore
they act as tooltips showing the full title and description text.
The preview updates when the item under the mouse pointer changes. Changes
in overlay.js ensure that we keep the sideshow on top when the
workspaces are not being animated so that we can find the item over which the
pointer is located.
The preview is removed when the item it is shown for starts being dragged.
_hideInProgress variable was added to represent the state of the overlay
when the code for hiding it was already triggered. This fixes the error
which was happening when the code for hiding the overlay was triggered
multiple times (for example by the user clicking the Activities button
twice when exiting the overlay).
When a window is added while overlay is being exited (e.g. because
some application was launched), we don't want to add that window to
the workspace's window clones. Previously, the window clone was added
and an animation to place the windows to their overlay workspace view
positions was triggered, which resulted in the wrong animation being
shown and an abrupt change in window positions when the actual workspace
was shown.
Add a boolean argument to two _positionWindows() calls that were missing
an argument.
was browsing exiting results
This is most noticeable when viewing results in xephyr, and then opening
a document in your regular session. But it could also be noticeable if
downloading a new file completes while the user is in the overlay.
This patch also moves the call to _displayMatchedItems() to _redisplay
instead of making it in both _setDefaultList() and _doSearchFilter().
Sliding the workspaces back in when the user starts dragging an item in the
expanded display mode allows the user to select a workspace in which the item
should be launched and stay in the overlay mode.
This patch adds code to dnd.js that handles notifying actors when a drag item is being dragged over them. Overlay code uses such notification to unset expanded display modes and trigger sliding in of the workspaces.
If the drag is cancelled the drag item snaps back to its source or disappears at the original position of its source if the source is no longer displayed.
Add a display control that contains page numbers for the result
pages and is shown in the expanded results view. All of the page selection and
switching is handled by the GenericDisplay which exposes a displayControl
actor, which is then displayed by the Sideshow.
We had problems because the More links were reacting on press but
other elements were reacting on release. (Often the link would trigger
*and* an item.) Just connecting to ::button-release-event on
ClutterText gives a stuck grab (since ClutterText gets the press
but not the release), so we need more complicated code that we
encapsulate into a new class.

Add black backgrounds to each item display, as well as a black
background with a full-screen height to the workspaces display.
Update the expanded item display up front when 'More...' is clicked, and
reveal the additional items gradually when the other components of the overlay
slide away.
Raise the documents display up gradually as the applications display above it slides away.
Reverse the process when 'Less...' is clicked. First, gradually cover up additional items by other components, and then update the displays to contain fewer items.

Put sideshow sections into boxes so that we can slide them out with a single 'easeOutQuad' transition.
Handle expanding the documents section in the same fashion as we handle expanding the applications section.
Place "More..." labels inside Big Boxes with x_align set to Big.BoxAlignment.END so that we don't have to position them manually.
Before the run dialog was changing the focus, but because we were
only setting it once, we ended up with nothing focused after the run
dialog was destroyed.
mutter_plugin_get_windows() returns NULL at plugin-initialization time,
so we have to wait until idle time to figure out which workspaces are
being used and remove the unused ones.

Previously we were stripping all whitespace. Instead, just strip leading+trailing
whitespace, split the remaining search into individual terms which we search
for independently.
Items are grouped by the number of terms they match, then sorted
alphabetically.
Divide the screen into a grid and use it to determine the layout of the overlay components in a more consistent manner.
Remove the 'Add workspace' control and slide the workspaces
display to the side without scaling it when switching to the 'More' mode.
Automatically removes tweens on destroyed actors, and provides
additional "animation started/stopped" callbacks (eg, for tracking
whether or not to show window clone titles)
Since tweener can't do multiple tweens on the same property, it
calls an overwrite callback for any existing tweens when a new
tween is added for the same property. Here we use the overwrite
callback to tell mutter that the effects are done.
mode. When this control is clicked, documents display section slides down,
workspaces display slides to the side, and a multi-column applications view is
presented to the user. "More' control is replaced with a 'Less' control. When
the 'Less' control is clicked a default overlay view is restored.
Clean up positioning of the components of the overlay sideshow
and the items within generic item displays.

Previously we were only doing this check for switch-workspace, but it
makes sense to do it for all transitions, since they won't be visible
anyway, and they might interfere with the overlay's operations by moving
windows around unexpectedly.

* Make updating of the clone title more of a state-machine - instead
of showing/hiding/creating/raising the title all over the code, have a
single Workspace._updateCloneTitle() method that looks at state bits and
decides if the clone should be hidden or shown, and updates the
stacking and position.
* Move code to positioning of windows within a workspace in the overlay
modeto a new method Workspace._positionWindows()
* Add Workspace.addWindow()/removeWindow() to add and remove windows
from the workspace on the fly. (Triggered manually: we still don't
handle external changes to windows when the overlay is up.)
* Hook up mouse-dragging for window actors and add a
::window-dragged signal to Workspace
* Connect to ::window-dragged for each workspace, compute the new
workspace, move it the window there, and animate everything into the
new position. Snap back to the old location if the window didn't move.

Convert all JS style to be uniform, add Eclipse settings bits

Call Tweener.setFrameTicker() with a custom object that bridges to
