WorkspacesDisplay removes its dragMonitor in _dragEnd, but
this was never called in when a xdnd drag ended causing
dragMonitors to stack up and handling events multiple times.
Fix that by making sure that _dragEnd is called when xdnd ends.

Add the idea of an 'id' for a tab, and add a public switchTab method
so you can switch to 'applications' or 'windows'. This will be useful
for performance tests that test tab switching performance.

We currently show the workspace in the overview in a rectangle
with the same aspect ratio as the screen. Originally this was
probably done since it showed the desktop, but we don't do this
anymore, and the positioning of the windows in the overview is
strictly a grid, so its not in any way related to monitor geometry.
Additionally, in the multihead case the screen aspect ratio is
very different from the overview monitor geometry, so a lot of
space is lost.
So, instead we just fill the entire inner rectangle of the overview
with the workspace. However, the way the zoom into and out of the
workspace right now is by scaling the workspace so that it covers
the entire monitor. This cannot really work anymore when the workspace
is a different aspect ratio. Furthermore the coordinates of the
window clone actors are of two very different types in the "original
window" case and the "window in a slot case". One is screen relative,
the other is workspace relative. This makes it very hard to compute
the cost of window motion distance in computeWindowMotion.
In order to handle this we change the way workspace actor positioning
and scaling work. All workspace window clone actors are stored in
true screen coordingates, both the original window positions and the
in-a-slot ones. Global scaling of the workspace is never done, we
just reposition everything in both the initial zoom and when the
controls appear from the side.
There is one issue in the initial and final animations, which is that
the clip region we normally have for the workspacesView will limit the
animation of the clones to/from the original positions, so we disable
the clip region during these animations.

1. disconnect destroy signals in popModal (actors can have great lifetime and then pushed again)
2. incorrect pushModal/popModal pair in overview

Rather than connecting to stage::capture-event and then trying to
guess whether or not a given key-press should be handled by us or not,
handle the end-search-on-Escape case from entry::key-press-event
(since it only makes sense when the entry is focused anyway) and the
start-search-on-printable-key case from stage::key-press-event (which
will only get the events that no other actor wanted for itself).
Similarly, do exit-overview-on-Escape and switch-panes cases from
stage::key-press-event, rather than
viewSelector.actor::key-press-event, so that they will work correctly
even if the keyboard focus is somewhere else. (Also fix a longstanding
bug in the pane-switching code, which was supposed to be disabled when
a search was active, but was checking a non-existent variable.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642502
When the user cancels the drag while hovering over a window the timeout
handler will throw an exception because the drag actor will be destroyed
at this point.
Fix that by removing the timeout in _onDragEnd.
The xdnd timestamp gets updated on every xdnd-position event,
so while waiting for the window timeout to fire we need to make sure we
update the timestamp when getting on motion to activate the window
with the correct timestamp.
We need the view selector to extend all the way to the right edge of the
monitor, so size and position the view selector in a way that the sum of
its X position and its width add up to the primary monitor width.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642834
As Main.overview is now usable from the view selector's constructor,
move the setup of signal connections there and remove the show/hide
methods which were used as workaround.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
As Main.overview is now usable from the dash's constructor, move
the setup of signal connections there and remove the show/hide
methods which were used as workaround.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
The Overview does not only hold the different elements visible in
the overview, but is also a central point to manage drag signals.
As objects which are constructed in the overview constructor cannot
access Main.overview (as its constructor has not finished yet), we
use misnamed show/hide methods to work around this limitation, which
are called when entering/leaving the overview.
A better way to handle this problem is to remove the limitation
altogether by splitting the overview constructor between internals,
which remain in the constructor, and more complex objects which
need to access Main.overview, and whose initialization is moved
to a public init() function which is called by main.js after the
overview has been constructed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
On button-release, a threshold is used to determine if the gesture
should be considered a click and thus ignored. While the drag is
active though, the controlled actor is dragged immediately. As a
result, dragging by a tiny amount does not trigger a snap back when
the action is interpreted as a click. As a fix, do not update the
dragged actor's position until the same threshold is passed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640494
The main overview group starts capturing events on button-press
events to implement swipe-scrolling. While reactive children of
the group which handle both button-press and button-release events
don't trigger swipe-scrolling, children that only rely on
button-release have stopped working - at least the primary/secondary
icons of the search entry are affected. While the capture handler
already checks the pointer movement between press and release to
determine whether the action should be considered a click rather
than a drag, it still blocks the release event from propagating.
Instead, only block release events for drag actions, but not for
clicks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640493
The workspaces view allows to drag the active workspace to swipe-scroll
to the next or previous workspace. While this behavior can come in handy
in general, there are good reasons to move the functionality to the
overview:
- Finding a spot on a workspace to start a drag can be hard,
especially when the workspace contains a single window
- With the new layout, workspaces have no visible border, making
it hard to predict where a drag can be initiated
- The same behavior is equally useful for other elements
So add setScrollAdjustment() to the overview, which allows setting
an adjustment controlled with swipe-scrolling (either horizontally
or vertically); only a single adjustment can be controlled at a
time. A swipe-scroll can be initiated on any part of the background that
is not occupied by a reactive actor. For cases where further control
is needed, 'swipe-scroll-start' and 'swipe-scroll-end' signals are
emitted.

Drag monitor functions are supposed to return a value, but
_onDragMotion() does not always do so. Add the missing return
value and remove unnecessary else.
Currently we reset the timeout on every mouse movement which means
the user has to keep the mouse at the exact same position for 1.25
seconds.
Be more tolerant and allow the user to move the mouse over the
window without reseting the timeout, which should make activating
windows easier.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638896
GenericDisplay used to provide a common base class for places and
recent items, none of which exists anymore. As of current mockups,
display items in "Finding and Reminding" should be based on
BaseIcon / IconGrid instead.
The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.
Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601731
When the user is doing a drag-and-drop, we want to temporarily show the
stage to allow them to drag to a different window. But we're not "really"
in the overview, and getting a grab would conflict with the X client doing
the drag and drop.
So add a showTemporarily()/hideTemporarily() pair of methods that show
the overview without grabbing.
This adds a lot more possibilities for asynchronous race conditions, so
rework the code to be more robust against multiple calls to show*()
and hide*(). The interpretation is now that all calls to show*() and
hide*() affect the state, but if we have conflicting calls to show and
hide we wait until the current animation is finished before correcting
to the right visual state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601731
According to the designers, system notifications should be transient;
so now that transient notifications are supported properly, make use
of it instead of using a timeout to remove the associated source.
Show a positional indicator where a new favorite will be added and
make the favorites re-orderable. Also allow the removal of favorites
using drag-and-drop according to the mockups.

Delegate the emission of the window-drag-begin/window-drag-end
signals to overview functions, as done already for other items.
This will enable objects to react to those signals without having
access to the workspace objects / the workspaces view.

Add the view selector and adjust the positioning of elements in the
overview. Unlike the old dash, the view selector is made public to
indicate that extensions may add additional views or search providers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
As workspaces will appear as a particular view in the view selector,
merge WorkspacesControls and WorkspacesManager to control workspaces
and related controls, so that a single actor can be added to the
selector instead of positioning the elements from the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The new dash implementation is a single-column vertical sidebar,
whose items are scaled dynamically to fit the available height.
If the height is still exceeded after scaling down to a minimum
item size, excess items are cut off.
The now unused old dash implementation is renamed to OldDash, as
its code will be used as a base for the new view selector element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
While scaling the desktop background with the window previews represents
workspaces quite intuitively, the approach is not without problems.
As window previews in the overview behave quite differently to "real"
windows, the representation of workspaces as miniature versions of
"real" workspaces is flawed. The scaling also makes the transitions
to and from the overview much more visually expensive, without adding
much benefit.
Leaving the background in place provides more visual stability to the
transitions and emphasizes the distinctive behavior of elements in the
overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The layout of recent mockups occupies the space previously reserved
for the info bar with the view selector. As the bar's purpose is
mainly to provide the user with feedback, it makes sense to use the
existing message tray facility instead of moving the bar elsewhere.

As the design calls for smooth transitions whenever possible, use
a similar fade effect for the all-apps and more-docs menus as for

There are some places in the code where we use both fixed positioning

Instead of setting a fixed size in the CSS which only works well
with a limited range of screen resolutions, assign a relative
size in the code.
While this takes away some flexibility from theme authors, it is in
line with most elements in the overview (workspaces area, dash).
Also expose the menu panes vertical alignment, so that more-apps aligns
to the workspaces area's top and more-docs to the bottom.

This way, clicking a message tray icon while the overview is open will
close the overview when activating its window.
Remove some other overview-related activation code which is now

Also, remove calls to "global.get_current_time()" when calling
Main.activateWindow, since it's unnecessary (activateWindow will call
it itself if you don't pass in that arg).

The high level goal is to separate the concern of searching for
things with display of those things; for example in newer mockups,
applications are displayed exactly the same as they look in the
AppWell.
Another goal was optimizing for speed; for example,
application search was pushed mostly down into C, and we avoid
lowercasing and normalizing every item over and over.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603523
The distinction between the inactive and running was silly; just
have one class which can handle both running states. However for
a future search patch, we do want a separation between an icon which
just has icon + name + glow, and a well icon which does the menu
integration.

We had previously been leaving the scaled workspace at a non-integral
position which didn't look obviously ugly, but now that we're

When tweening the overview in, tween it to appear on the correct

Fix panel, app switcher, and looking glass to limit themselves to the
primary monitor, and run dialog to limit itself to the monitor
containing the currently-focused window.
The overview is also limited to the primary monitor now (with the
other monitors being blacked out), although the workspaces within the
overview are shaped like the full "screen" (the bounding box of all
monitors). To be fixed later.

Rename beginModal/endModal to pushModal/popModal. All of the current callers
just want to ensure that we're in a modal state; they don't actually need to
fail if we already are.
These functions also now take the Clutter keyboard focus, while recording
the previous focus.

When we had a filtered set of windows, and want to exit the overview
into a particular window, what we do is re-show all the old windows
first, but don't reset the scaling on them. This will involve
some overlapping, but that's not a big deal because we'll immediately
get overlap anyways in the normal case zooming the windows back.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594699
There are ton of different kinds of mouse even handlers in the overview;
WindowClone has several mouse-enter/leave handlers, we still have a variety
of classes not ported to ButtonBox and so incorrectly handling double-click,
etc.
Since we at present don't have anything in the overview area for which
it makes sense to interact with during the animation, create a transparent
event-eating box which we raise to the top during the animation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594074
When the user click+hold+release over the icon, the effect we want
is for the menu to stick around.
Also, allow the user to mouse over the actual windows and select
them directly. If the user mouses over a window, reflect that in
the menu.
Rather than starting lightboxing only when the mouse enters the
menu, start it when an application filter is set.
Also delete a stale function in WindowClone from previous work.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594555
When we have multiple windows for an application, implement the following
behavior:
* On click + immediate release, go to the most recently used
* On click, hold for 0.6s, pop up a menu with windows, filtering
the window list to just those windows.
Mouse over on the window list highlights the moused-over window.
Implement this by splitting well item into InactiveWellItem
and RunningWellItem, sharing a base class BaseWellItem.
We now have functionality in Mutter to grab the keyboard on behalf
of a plugin. This avoids interactions with the key handling code
in Mutter that could leave the user with an inconsistent state
and no way to get out of it.
src/shell-global.[ch]: Change shell_global_grab_keyboard() and
shell_global_grab_keyboard() to shell_global_begin_modal()
shell_global_end_modal() and call mutter_plugin_begin_modal()
mutter_plugin_end_modal() rather than directly grabbing the
keyboard.
main.js: Call global.begin_modal/end_modal from Main.startModal()
and Main.endModal()
altTab.js; Remove call to Main.startModal() - we're letting Mutter
handle modality for Alt-Tab.
main.js lookingGlass.js overview.js runDialog.js: Rename
Main.startModal() to Main.beginModal() for consistency with
naming in mutter and ShellGlobal.

Remove the last use of passing width into Dash by having the
Pane with the previews scaling dynamically and relying on
Clutter scaling.
If we only have one workspace, don't display a selection frame
for it.
Rework Dash into a searchArea and sectionArea, which get
explicitly sized by overlay.js. We use the workspaces size
to choose the size of those dash areas.
Switch dash colors/boxes etc. to ones from shell-black02.
Add a gradient to the panel.
Add a magnifier.svg for use in search.
There was lots of fixed positioning in the Panel; now it is completely
dynamic, and width/height is driven from main.js. We still have a
global constant Panel.PANEL_HEIGHT, but this is a big step towards
eliminating it.
Also, this avoids overdraw in the "way too many tray icons" case. The
clock will shift left.
Replace 'overlay' with the more descriptive name 'overview'
where the Activities Overview is meant. Call it Overview
(capitalized) in code comments.
The overlay-group and overlay-key provided by Mutter are not
affected, since they may be used for other components than
the Activities Overview.
