The `GetWindows` method gives access to the list of windows for each

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application

Since commit 551e827841, we don't always pass a callback parameter.
However passing it on as undefined to ibus doesn't work, as gjs doesn't
accept that as a valid callback value and throw an error. As a result,
we can end up with no layout selected in the keyboard menu and an "empty"
indicator. Fix this by explicitly passing null if no callback has been
provided.

ClutterVirtualInputDevice has the limitation that event flags won't be
made to contain CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_INPUT_METHOD, possibly causing feedback
loops.
As the event gets injected up the platform dependent bits, we can avoid
care on not pressing the same key twice, we still expect coherence between
key presses and releases from the IM though.

Whenever a command runs in the run dialog, it
will be added to the history unless it is
already the last entry. This does not apply
for entries that are not consecutive, which can
result in long chains of commands which
alternate, e.g. lg, r, lg, r, lg, r. Not only is
this wasteful in terms of space, but also
inconsistent with how history works elsewhere,
e.g. in the shell.
Therefore, remove entries in the history that are
equal to the one that will be added to the end of
of the history when the entry already exists.

gjs's D-Bus convenience explicitly expects a string representation
of an interface, but the new convenience method to load an XML
description from a resource introduced in commit f42d9df3e0 only
returns a string when using gjs from the GNOME 3.30 release. We
have so far managed to keep compatibility with the previous stable
gjs release, so fix up the fallback code to cast to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/578
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code had bad typos in it, though: it reuses the `i`
index variable in its inner loop, where it should be using
the `j` index variable.
This commit corrects the i/j confusion.
The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code has a bad typo in it, though: it confuses `objectPaths`
(the list of all object paths) and `objectPath` (the object
currently being processed this iteration of the loop).
That leads to a failure to synthesize the interface removal
events, and spew in the log.
This commit corrects the objectPath/objectPaths confusion.
As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The input method may hint that certain keycodes should be pressed/released
besides the textual information in ::commit. An example is hitting space
in some IMs to commit text, where both ::commit happens, and an space is
visibly inserted. In order to handle this properly, we must honor
::forward-key-press.
In order to cater for the case that a keypress is forwarded while handling
that same keypress in a physical keyboard, check the current event being
handled and just forward it as-is if it matches. This is necessary to
prevent state from being doubly set, and the second event silenced away.

If we're started by systemd, we won't be in the user's display session.

And stop using FocusCaretTracker for caret position purposes. This
new object uses 1) the text-input protocol in wayland and 2) Info
from IBusPanelService for X11 (which is meant to work for XIM too).
This drops the usage of AtspiEventListener for OSK purposes, which
is best to avoid.
commit 642107a2 attempts to avoid resetting the current keymap on
spurious input source changes.
It does this by checking if the current layout id is found in
the new list of layouts and resetting the current layout to the
associated match in the list. By not nullifying the current
layout, it won't get subsequently reset.
Unfortunately, if the order of the list changes, resetting the
current keymap is still necessary, since the order corresponds
with the index of the activated group.
This commit changes the code to nullify the current layout if
its group index changes.

The IM can pretty much update the input sources anytime (even if
to set the same ones). That ends up triggering rebuilding all user
defined keymaps, and losing modifier state if we are unfortunate
enough that this caught us while pressing one.
One common situation seems to be password entries, resulting in
the wrong character being printed if the first character happens
to require the shift key.
If the current keymap is not found in the newly loaded list,
this._current will end up null, with the same behavior as we get
currently (immediate keymap reload).

The author of the original URL-matching regex warns[0] that the pattern may
cause certain regex engines to lock up with certain input, namely patterns
that contain parentheses. It turns out SpiderMonkey is affected, but rather
than switching to the author's improved version (that is still crazy), sim-
plify the pattern a bit by removing support for nested parentheses in URLs.
Even a single pair of parentheses is extremely rare, so this is unlikely to
make a noticeable difference (other than not locking up SpiderMonkey of
course) ...

Even though we are using an "xkb" source, it still makes sense to

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

IBus was initially made optional as gnome-shell depended on too
recent API. This API is now old enough and gnome-shell is committing
further to IBus by implementing a ClutterInputMethod through it.
Let's just make IBus a mandatory dependency, instead of making code
paths trickier to cater for situations where it's missing.
This is a ClutterInputMethod implementation using IBus underneath. The
input method will interact with the currently focused ClutterInputFocus,
be it shell chrome or wayland clients through the text_input protocol.
It turns out that NetworkManager does export the directory as pkg-config
variable after all, so use that instead of building the path ourselves

Every action has specific associated terms that

While the string returned by formatTime() should follow the locale's
text direction as a whole, the actual time part is always expected
to put hours on the left and minutes to the right. It is possible to
enforce that by inserting a left-to-right mark, but so far this is
only done by the Hebrew translation. So in order to not require all
other RTL translations to be fixed individually, just insert the
mark into the returned string ourselves like gnome-desktop's WallClock

Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: could not get remote objects for service

So far, the GWeatherInfo was given the enabled weather providers
as a parameter, at construction time. Because of the way in
which libgweather was designed, setting the providers right from
the beginning enabled libgweather to use them internally in order
to update its state. Updating the internal state is only relevant
when there is a valid location set, which is not guaranteed at the
time when the GWeatherInfo object is constructed.
In order to fix this, enable no providers at construction time and
only set valid providers after setting a valid location.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780404
Our weather integration should follow GNOME Weather as closely as
possible, which means that we should respect its location permission
rather than using our own or none at all (which we can as a "system"
component and as geoclue's authorization agent).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
It doesn't make sense to tie the proxy code for flatpak's permission
store to the location indicator, just because that was the first
component to use it, so split it into a separate module.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
The setting to globally disable location settings altogether isn't
handled by the geoclue service itself, but by the authorization
agent. This means that:
- it doesn't apply to system components
(which gnome-shell is now considered[0])
- it doesn't apply once the geoclue connection
has been authorized
However users can reasonably expect that we won't use location services
after they disabled them, so handle the setting explicitly.
[0] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/geoclue/commit/?id=a4cef6c0ad08https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
We currently use automatic location for weather forecasts if the
corresponding Weather setting is set, however we should take other
factors into account as well:
- whether location services are enabled at all
- whether Weather has been authorized to use them
In preparation of these changes, track the setting's value in a
separate property and make _useAutoLocation a getter, so we can
extend it with additional conditions easily.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
Setting GWeatherInfo:location to null helpfully doesn't mean
"no location", but "NYC". This obviously isn't what we want
to show users, so track the location validity separately and
consider it when updating the label shown to users.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780252
If GeoClue is not responding for some reason, the callback of
Geoclue.Simple.new would not get called, meaning that _gclueFailed
remains false. This is preventing the fallback to the most recently
used location in gnome-weather, because it requires _gclueFailed to be
true (or auto-location to be disabled). So neither code path sets a
location and the libgweather default (New York City) is being used
instead.

For notifications in the message list, it is usually less relevant

Weather conditions - at least as far as online services are
concerned - don't usually change in a couple of minutes.
So when updating shortly after a previous update, assume
the current conditions are still valid and trigger an

state when on a shitty network.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
When integrating with optional components like Clocks, it is not safe
to access their GSettings right after the application became visible
to the AppSystem:
Installation is usually not atomic, so the .desktop file may appear
before the settings schema, in which case Gio will abort due to an
"invalid" schema ID.
To address this, add a small helper class that wraps the settings
access in a safe way.

Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the
relative paths resolve to different absolute ones. Until this bug
is fixed properly, we can work around this by expressing the current
extension path as the UUID relative to the parent directory.

You can define a new importer object by importing a subdirectory in GJS.
This is undocumented, but it is likely to at least hold until the whole
thing moves to ES6 modules, after which we'll be able to do this purely
in JS with Reflect.Loader.
Since this was the only thing the ShellJS library did, we can remove it
altogether.

The underlying logind API does not only indicate whether suspend is

relevant, so pass it to the callback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725960
Logind recently got support for a hint property in Session Object to
inform if session is Locked or not. It is up to desktop environments
to keep this property up to date.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764773
According to systemd logind's documentation, the CanSuspend() method
"returns 'na' in case "the operation is not available because hardware,
kernel or drivers do not support it", while "'no' is returned if the
operation is available but the user is not allowed to execute it".
See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind
Thus, we need to return true here when the reply for the CanSuspend
method is neither 'no' nor 'na', or we would providing false positives
in cases where suspension is simply unsupported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748338
On locales that support it, time formats should follow the 12-hour/24-hour
preference, which implies that they should be updated when the setting
changes. So add another utility method which creates a label for a specific
time and keeps it in sync with the format setting.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
The world clock uses GLib.DateTime instead of the built-in Date type
because of the much superior timezone support, and therefore cannot
use the new formatTime() helper. To make this possible, modify the
method to support a parameter of either type.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
Displaying a time is more complex than it appears at first glance:
it should respect the user's choice regarding 12- our 24-hour format (but
only when supported by the locale) and follow the LC_TIME rather than the
LC_MESSAGES setting.
So rather than getting it more or less right in various places, it makes
sense to defer to a helper method which hopefully does the right thing. The
method added by this patch is based on _formatTimestamp in telepathyClient
with some minor tweaks:
- there's an additional params parameter which allows enforcing
a time-only format, even on dates other than the current one
- only a single desktop settings object is created and shared between
invocations

Input method preedit text needs to be disabled on password entries

IBus 1.5.7 provides the signal set-content-type so that panel UIs can
handle these special purpose input entries:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/6ca5ddb302c9
Unfortunately IBus versions older than 1.5.10 have a bug which causes
spurious set-content-type emissions when switching input focus that
temporarily lose purpose and hints defeating its intended semantics
and confusing users. We thus don't use it in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730628
Normally users switch xkb input sources and ibus input sources.
But currently the first input source only is running. It's also good
to preload all ibus engines in the logging session so that users switch
input sources quickly without the launching time of input sources.
The following is the ibus change:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/cff35929a9https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695428
Instead of calling out to gnome-settings-daemon we'll just implement
the switching logic ourselves and use mutter APIs that allow this
functionality to work both in X sessions and when we're a Wayland
compositor.
Switching IBus engines is done transparently as well just like g-s-d
used to do.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736435
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't this for us anymore. Note that
ibus-daemon isn't DBus activatable but just spawning it is fine
because it does its own single instance management. The library
notifies us when it shows up and goes away through the connected and
disconnected signals.

The code path is completely unmaintained and untested (and probably
unused as well, considering that nobody has complained about accessing

same for the remaining functionality.

The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.
Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.
