The style of the top bar's corners is bound to the style of the
corresponding button; we used to hardcode this association, but
as the login mode does have a different layout, the button is now
determined programmatically.
Unfortunately, some containers take the text direction into account
when ordering their children, while some don't, so the current
code returned the wrong button in RTL locales.

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

We haven't actually been calling the top-right menu "status menu" for
quite some time, so use the upcoming code changes as an excuse for
renaming it to "user menu".
This commit adds GDM session support.
It provides a user list that talks to GDM,
handles authentication via PAM, etc.
It doesn't currently support fingerprint readers
and smartcards.

The shell has a number of things that are only relevant for
logged in users (e.g. calendar events, telepathy integration, a
user menu, etc).
This commit moves those user session specific bits into their
own functions in preparation for making the shell code ready
for use at login time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657082
Right now the panel code makes the left corner sync up with the
activities button and the right corner sync up with the user menu.
This is fine as long as we have an activities button and a user menu.
The login screen won't have those things, though.
This commit changes the panel corner code to try to figure out which
interface element is the most appropriate to sync up with based on
its position in the panel.

Have LayoutManager automatically deal with sizing and positioning
boxes for the panel and messageTray relative to the monitors.
Also, now that LayoutManager knows exactly where and how tall the

This way all standard indicators have a shell implementation
provided, which prevents issues with extensions enabling/disabling
(in particular with xrandr-indicator)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653205
Extensions often want to add items to the system status area, so it
is useful to add a convenience API for it. Also, we now allow
for cleaner destruction of panel objects, by just calling destroy()
on it.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.

Rather than having the panel corners as independent bits of chrome and
manually syncing their positions, put them inside the panel actor, and
update the panel's allocation code to position them correctly.

Move the HotCorner class from panel to layout, and make the panel
manage its own HotCorner.
Stick the panel's HotCorner into the Activities button actor (rather
than separately floating above it), so that hover tracking on the
button works properly without needing hacks in HotCorner.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645759
The fact that everything in the top bar except the activities button
was a menu made various things difficult. Simplify this by making the
activities button be a menu too, but just hack it up a bit so that the
menu associated with the button never actually appears.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645759 (Clicking on
Activities with menu up leaves a funny state) and its semi-dup 641253
(panel keynav between Activities and menus is quirky).
Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to

Every place that called chrome.addActor was specifying

Since both the hot corner's ClutterGroup and the hot corner's
ClutterRectangle button-release-event is connected to
_onCornerClicked() we must handle it there by returning 'true' to
Clutter or else _onCornerClicked() is called twice which defeats the
HOT_CORNER_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT logic.

Rename a few Panel fields and add a _statusArea object pointing to the

To keep the app icon from overlapping the panel's (border-image)
border, a custom property for clipping the app menu icon's bottom
was introduced. But if the clip region is set before the initial
icon is set, the entire actor ends up clipped. Also due to the double
meaning of clutter_actor_get_height() (e.g. preferred height versus
allocated height), the clip region may end up too large and the icon
overlaps the panel's border-image.
Fix both problems by updating the clip region on size changes as
well, rather than on style changes only.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644122
Since the opacity of the application menu is controlled by
it's _targetIsCurrent flag, we need to respect that when entering
and leaving the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645734
Since the hotcorner is a reactive actor, and it is over the Activities
button, hovering on it results in a leave-event for the button.
This is not noticeable when opening the overview, as the button is
correctly prelighted, but it is when closing, if you keep the mouse
near the hot corner, as the button is kept in normal state, despite
the mouse being over it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645751
If you have XFixes 5 (and corresponding xserver support) then we

Commit fcfd17e was overzealous when simplifying the previous spinner
animation, as a result the spinner now stays around when switching
to another application while the animation is ongoing.
Adds an implementation of nm-applet in javascript. Uses the new
introspection from NetworkManager, and temporarily requires
nm-applet to be running for the secret service.

connects to the most recently used valid connection. More esoteric
features like creation of ad-hoc networks have been moved to the

Fix the "panel" icon to be symbolic. Make the overview parts only show
up when in the overview, and the non-overview parts (eg, the Desktop

the different items consistently with their locations on the screen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618887
To deal with different CSS in RTL locales, we used to manually add
an :rtl pseudo class to some actors. With automatically assigned
:ltr/:rtl selectors this is no longer necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643835
Commit b1654af406 moved the panel positioning (and thus that of its
corners) before the panel startup animation. As the panel corners now
are mapped while the panel animation is active, the initial style-changed
signal which triggers another repositioning is received after the
initial layout and the corners end up at wrong positions.
To fix, animate the corner positions as well during the startup
animation - if anyone could actually see the animation, the corners
should animate with the panel anyway ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643804
We need to do the initial relayout before we start up the startup
animation, and the startup animation can't hardcode the position
of the panel to zero.

Fix a typo in panel.js, and ensure that all variables used in
functions are scoped to the block (using let), to avoid polluting
the global namespace.

Currently the panel is positioned from main.js, move that code into
a method in panel.js instead and call it from main.js, which is

This is needed so that we can have several instances, one per
monitor.
This also makes the hot corner environments a container which
contains the corner.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642881
In the mockups the bottom border of active panel buttons is drawn
on top of the panel's border. To get this effect, move the panel
border into the background, so that it is not subtracted from the
vertical space given to the buttons. Adjust the drawing of the rounded
corners to reflect that change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643001
We never get enter events anyway due to the menu code, and if
the user clicks on a non-menu the menu is removed and ungrabbed
before the target actor gets the event anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642881
PopupMenuManager relies on menus being added in the order of the
menu buttons they are attached to, so defer adding the user status
menu until the status icon menus have been added to make the manager
happy.
So far transitions do not work for the custom drawn corners, so to
avoid a visible glitch when transitioning a button in the panel corner
while updating the style of the apparently attached corner instantly,
remove transition of those panel buttons until we make it work for the
custom drawn parts as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642697
Current mockups show the panel curving downwards at the edges to
frame the work area and look awesome. Implement those as separate
actors to not affect the struts set by the panel, and synchronize
their state with the corresponding panel buttons so they blend in
with the panel. It might be worth considering whether the corners
should be hidden with maximized windows on the current workspace,
though this might affect the illusion of them being part of the
panel. As the corners don't affect the input region, the small
overlap with windows might not be too bad after all.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642697
The groups at the panel sides use different left/right padding, so
a slightly different CSS is required for RTL locales. Add :rtl
pseudo classes as necessary and adjust the CSS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642697
We now use a border image on active panel buttons to underline the
button's content. As the property does not affect the content's
allocation, the app icon ends up being drawn on top of the border
image. To prevent this, use a custom property to clip the bottom of
the app icon when the button is active.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642697
While related to the status area, the user status button is clearly
not a status icon, and it does not make too much sense in
startStatusArea(), which is about filling the status area with
icons. Also, the status icon container is added to the panel in
the constructor, in fact, the user status button is the only "toplevel"
panel element which is initialized elsewhere. Not a crucial change,
but makes for a nice read anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642697
If you left the overview immediately after entering it (either

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

activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.

A key for 12hr/24hr clock format has been added to gsettings-desktop-schemas,

The actor emitted by ShellTrayManager is now ShellTrayIcon, a subclass
of ShellGtkEmbed which has several properties on it which are (or will
soon be) useful to the shell.
Part of the rearranging to use ShellTrayIcon means that we now show
the ShellEmbeddedWindow before creating its ShellGtkEmbed, which
requires a few modifications to ShellEmbeddedWindow (notably, telling
it at construct time what stage it will be drawn on, since it needs to
know that before it has a ShellGtkEmbed now).

Introduce the Universal Access status indicator as designed, modeled
after the similar UI provided by g-s-d. This indicator allows the user

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

The shell design says that upon launching an application,
no X window should have focus, and we should display an

for the last starting application.

First, we were passing an incorrect timestamp to
meta_display_focus_the_no_focus_window - fix that.
The invocation of set_focus_app to the started app there couldn't
really work, because (if the above call had worked) we'd get the
X reply *after* the started app.
What we need to untangle here is the distinction that's now made in
ShellApp between _STATE_STARTING and _STATE_RUNNING. A nice way to
start doing this is to rebase ShellWindowTracker to only be concerned
with app states. Concretely, the current "has windows implies
running" logic now lives just inside shell-app.c.
Rename the app-running-changed signal to be app-state-changed. This
will ultimately be useful so that inside the panel, we can track
the last started app.

First, simply set the ellipsize flag on the application menu labels.
Next, rework how we lay out the panel components so that the center
box is always centered and constrains the left and right, rather
than pushing it around.
Previously, as part of making the shell not obviously explode if
one had a lot of tray icons, we allowed them to push the clock over.
Instead, go back to just failing in this case; we need to exile legacy
tray icons, not be slightly less ugly.
