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

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) ...

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

While the string returned by formatTime() should follow the locale's

(I think), start up is littered with this message:
Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: could not get remote objects for service

since gnome-shell is now started before gnome-settings-daemon.
This commit addresses the problem by making the object manager code

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772589
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

When integrating with optional components like Clocks, it is not safe
to access their GSettings right after the application became visible

"invalid" schema ID.

Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the

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

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
available, but also whether the user is eligible for executing the
operation without further authentication. This information can be
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.
It's important to compare the version components as integers,
not strings, so "10" evaulates as greater than "5"

gnome-settings-daemon monitors smartcard insertion and removal

The D-Bus ObjectManager interface is fairly recent addition to the

With fallback mode dropped, we can no longer rely on gnome-screensaver
to be installed, so we'll have cases where we are unable to lock the

without creating a circular dependency; move the function to a more
generic place to fix.

If screen locking is enabled, the screen shield should drop down
on suspend. Currently this is achieved by either explicitly locking
the screen (when selecting "Suspend" from the user menu) or by
relying on g-s-d delaying the suspension enough time for the shield
to get into place (lid close, power button).
Systemd inhibitors offer a safer way to ensure that the screen is
locked before going to sleep, so add a small abstraction for them
in the loginManager - with inhibitors being a systemd-only feature,
the ConsoleKit path only has a dummy implementation.

shell_mobile_providers_parse() was returning the country information split
into a hash table with providers and a hash table with country names. This
patch merges both outputs into a single per-country object, so the parse()
method now returns a GHashTable with the following element-type:
(element-type utf8 ShellCountryMobileProvider>)
This also avoids more complex setups like returning lists inside of hash tables,
which was actually breaking either g-i or gtk-doc.
shell_mobile_providers_parse() was also modified to allow inputting the paths
of the country codes and provider list files to use. If paths are not given, the
default ones will be used. This helps us to provide test files during unit
tests.
Both the findProviderForMCCMNC() and findProviderForSid() methods are exported

When connecting to virtual machines with usb-device redirection, such as Spice
enabled vms, automount may get in the way. Specifically if auto-usbredir is
enabled in the vm-viewer, then the usbredir code and the automount code race
for who gets to the device first.
If the automount code wins the race this is a problem, since usbredir causes a
device-disconnect (iow the usb mass storage driver sees an unplug), so in the
end usbredir always wins, and we end up with a non clean potentially corrupt
filesystem. Also see:

Since we need signals, we convert the current set of functions to an
object we attach signals too, leading to the new ExtensionFinder object.

This is seldomly used, and isn't checked in SweetTooth. Just remove
this inconsistency here rather than adding infrastructure to manage

Some extensions may have complex layouts with multiple subdirectories.
Currently, getCurrentExtension doesn't support this, as it uses a regex
and assume's that the last path's component's parent is all that's needed.
Fix this.

gnome-shell-extension-prefs uses format(), but can't pull in Shell
(which is a dependency for the module), since that in turn would pull in
Meta. Fix this by moving the introspected int format function to ShellJS
instead.

gnome-session moved away from using properties over DBus in 2008, which
means that the code in GNOME 3.0 never should have worked -- but it did,
which makes me suspect that it was a quirk of the GJS DBus implementation.
Switch over to the proper inhibitor API, which is based on methods. If
gnome-session eventually gets ported to GDBus, then we can switch back
to properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672270
Although not all "Finding and reminding" applications are ready
yet, the integration with gnome-documents' search results overlaps
enough with the "Recent Items" provider to justify its removal.

Substitutions generated by configure don't resolve prefixes, so
cannot be used for paths. Config already had localedir, and next
commit will need libexecdir and sysconfdir, so just bite the bullet
and move to sed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658484
Gsm.GetRegistrationInfo and Cdma.GetServingSystem return a single argument
consisting of a tuple, not three separate arguments. This is
a regression from the GDBus port.

The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
Add two new APIs, "launchExtensionPrefs" to let SweetTooth let the user
launch the extension preferences tool directly from the browser. To allow
SweetTooth to check if an extension can be configured, add a new key to
the 'metadata', 'hasPrefs', which is returned by the GetExtensionInfo/
ListExtensions DBus methods.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
ExtensionUtils is a new module that has a lot of miscellaneous things related
to loading extensions and the extension system put into a place that does not
depend on Shell or St.
Note that this will break extensions that have with multiple files by replacing
the old uuid-based importer with an object directly on the meta object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
The loop can exit with an interval of length one or one of
length zero. In the first case it is correct to check which side
of the interval to return, in the second case no comparison should
be made (since there is only one possible value).
In practice, this usually results in one comparison more than needed,
but in some cases (when the position was past the end of the array),
would call the comparator with undefined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666614
Adds two new functions, Util.lowerBound and Util.insertSorted,
that take an array, a value and a comparator, and find the
first position at which the value can be inserted without
violating the order, in optimal time.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more

This continues the series of patches for GDBus porting, affecting
all code that accesses remote DBus objects. This includes modemManager,
automount, autorun (for the hotplug sniffer), calendar, network (for
nm-applet only), power, scripting (for perf monitor interface)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648651
Port org.gnome.ScreenSaver and org.gnome.SessionManager glue code
to use GDBus, and move /org/gnome/Shell/EndSessionDialog to the
GDBus connection, so it is backed by the org.gnome.Shell name.

libsoup won't check for a valid cert by default, so copy some logic from

For those who like their system pure, this provides the ability to purge a

Conflicts:
js/ui/extensionSystem.js
findUrl() was seeing strings like "You have 1 new message in
foo@example.com/Inbox" and finding the URL
"[http://]example.com/Inbox". Require that URLs either start at the
start of the string, or are preceded by whitespace or an open
paren/quote/etc.
(Since JS doesn't have look-behind assertions like perl does, we have
to actually match the URL-preceding character in the regex, and then
adjust the result findUrl returns accordingly.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Although "x:5" could theoretically be a URL with scheme "x" and path
"5", it probably isn't. Only URLify strings that use the "authority"
syntax ("foo://"). (No one ever types out "mailto:" URLs in ordinary
text, so we don't want to match those either.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Explode the regex onto multiple lines, and add comments explaining the
pieces. Also, change ()s to (?:)s (non-capturing groups) where
appropriate, and replace the UTF-8 characters with \u escapes so that
they actually work.

Fix the signal handling; you can't use this.connect('ActiveChanged')
to connect to a D-Bus signal after replacing the signal methods with
the lang.signals versions. Just leave it using the D-Bus signal names,
just like it uses the D-Bus method names.
Also, remove the "_" from "_screenSaverActive", to match what
AutomountManager checks for, and remove getActive(), since it's not
needed.

Due to lockdown settings or Polkit policy, shutdown may not be

If the user typed "a", hit up, and pressed enter again, we wouldn't re-set the

In commit 9bd22dc0, I introduced an API to load an arbitrary
.desktop file, not necessarily from the menu path. It turns
out this function was broken because it created ShellApp instances
that were *different* from ones that were cached normally.
As far as I can tell, we didn't initially use it. Then later
Util.spawnDesktop was created which used this function.
Remove this broken function and all callers; if we're loading
.desktop files from *outside* the menu path, we can look at
readding.
This patch also kills off Util.spawnDesktop in favor of callers
talking to ShellAppSystem directly, now that the latter reports
errors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644402
Move the "system notification error" handling out of
util.js, and add it to ShellGlobal so we can start
calling it from across the codebase better (including

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.
Features a renewed interface, with each device controllable through
a switch, which if toggled off disconnects, and if toggled on
connects to the most recently used valid connection. More esoteric
features like creation of ad-hoc networks have been moved to the
control center panel.

Around 2.91.90, gnome-session-save was renamed to gnome-session-quit.
This commit restores compatibility with the older gnome-session, for

The DBus JS binding will complain if the signature of a method

With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)

Commit a65a0f03d4 changed the literal RegExp to a string-based
RegExp(). As backslashes are treated specially inside strings,
translating an expression as /\s/ to '\s' results in a faulty
regex of /s/, so escape backslashes where necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639914
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.
Since we have to use pkill, kludgily, for the right combination of
portability and featurefulness, put the code in one place rather than
duplicating it everywhere.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).
Update various other bits of code around the shell to use the new
methods.

Rename imports.misc.utils to imports.misc.util for more consistency
(eg, with shell-util).
Also, use the string-based RegExp() constructor rather than a RegExp
literal, since the literal is extremely difficult to parse correctly,
and confuses emacs and probably other editors and thus messes up
autoindentation, etc.

The current search system uses the OR operator to concatenate search
terms. While results which are matched multiple times sort before
other matches, it is almost guaranteed that adding an additional term
to the search increments the number of results, which is rather
surprising.

Sometimes it is useful to print numbers in hex format - add the
appropriate specifier. Also support a minimum field width to

Fetch the names of the user's "subscribed" contacts, and use the
SimplePresence interface to watch for available/away/busy/etc messages
and create notifications for them.
Currently we display notifications when switching between "available"
and "offline"/"extended away", but when switching between "available"
and "away"/"busy" we just add the information to the chat window
without popping up a notification, to avoid spamming the user with
"Bob's screensaver activated" messages.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611613
Activate empathy when clicking on a chat icon by asking the
ChannelDispatcher to open the conversation in the default handler.
Also, remove the Approver and Handler for now, since until
telepathy-logger is stable, this means Empathy won't see (and log)
those conversations. This means that empathy's blinky status icon is
back; we'll have to do something else about that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611610
Cache avatars to avoid having to re-download them every session.
We use a cache format that is compatible with empathy's, but we don't
actually use empathy's. This could be changed if we wanted.

Also reorganizes the notification layout to use an StScrollView; very

Brute force merge these two by essentially replacing St.TextureCache
with a (renamed) Shell.TextureCache.
One function was added for convenience, namely "st_texture_cache_load_file_simple".
St.TextureCache had a function to load a texture from a filename, and it
returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this. This
function is better.

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
Rather of calling .exists() synchronously for all documents, use
ShellDocSystem's async API to only stat docs we're showing.
Use the doc opening functionality in ShellDocSystem.
Also, more intelligently do redisplay(); don't recreate actors
for recent docs if we already have one for that URI. We may
need more intelligent caching here; if e.g. just the associated
application changes, we should probably reread the info.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
This should not be required, since glib correctly deals with such
applications by giving them the local gvfs path, and those
applications which do support URIs keep being able to use the URIs in
GFiles.

Add String formatting by extending the String object with a

The design has smaller icons in two columns. Add a new
custom display to docDisplay for it.
Clean up some of the texture cache handling for recent URIs so
it's not size-dependent, since the dash size is now different
from the default GenericDisplay size.
Extend ShellTextureCache by adding the concept of a policy, which
we expose to the public API for loading URIs.
This lets us have the shell tell the cache to keep the information
icon texture around forever.
Secondly, fix the caching of recent info; we shouldn't always be
loading the backup pixbuf. Move recent info loading entirely
into ShellTextureCache.
Move thumbnail creation into ShellTextureCache. It's now asynchronous,
and we cache the result.
Create a DocManager class which keeps around the DocInfo objects between
invocations. This is also where we ensure we remove thumbnails for
recent items not known anymore.
Before, we looked up application data in several ways; the ShellAppSystem
exported just application ids (though it parsed the .desktop files internally),
and we'd create a Gio.DesktopAppInfo object (reparsing the desktop file again),
wrapping that inside a JavaScript AppInfo class, and finally the AppDisplay
would again parse the .desktop file to get the categories.
Also, to look up applications by id previously, we traversed the entire
menu structure each time.
Some qualities such as the NoDisplay flag were not easily exposed in the old
system. And if we wanted to expose them we'd have to change several different
application information wrapper classes.
All in all, it was quite suboptimal.
The theme of this new code is basically "just use libgnome-menus". We do
not call into Gio for app lookups anymore. The new Shell.AppInfo class
is a disguised pointer for the GMenuTreeEntry item.
To fix the caching, we keep a simple hash table of desktop id -> ShellAppInfo.
Clutter no longer allows using a clone of an actor that is not a part of
the scene graph. This is what used to happen when we created a clone for
the icon of the item that was being dragged, and then closed the More panes
with the original item, removing the icon from the scene graph. This was
also when happened when the user hit Esc while dragging, which prompted the
overlay to close, removing the original icon from the scene graph.
Rename getIcon() methods to createIcon() to better reflect on the fact that
a new icon is created each time the method is called (we do use cache in
some cases).
Remove a stray log message in overlay.js

The new class AppWell implements the application favorite well
in the Dash component. The previous AppDisplay remains for use
in the More... mode now.
Delete DEFAULT_APPLICATIONS; this is now in GConf.
Rename getMostUsedApps to getTopApps since we now have the
idea of explicit favorites.
Delete some GenericDisplay-related calls from overlay related
to the seletion - we'll reimplement keyboard nav in a more
coherent way later.
We achieve this with two changes:
- Move the Shell.get_thumbnail call in DocInfo from _init
to getIcon, so that it isn't executed until it's actually
needed.
(If caching the output of said call permanently is desired
we could still do it on the first getIcon invocation, but
I don't believe this is necessary given that looking up an
already generated icon is pretty fast and this also gives
us an updated icon in case the file changes.)
- More importantly, we ommit the get_thumbnail call in case
the URI doesn't start with file://. Looking up, for example,
an http:// URI is very slow, and doesn't give us an icon anyway.

With commit a3d35af444 variable
itemInfo in js/ui/appDisplay.js was changed to a new object
(AppInfo from js/misc/appInfo.js) but some of the code in
js/ui/appDisplay.js wasn't updated accordingly. This commit
fixes that and makes the search box in the overlay usable
again.
This lets us share the recent-app-tracking, recent-file-tracking, and
icon-drawing code between the overlay and the sidebar, without the
sidebar having to poke into AppDisplayItem and DocDisplayItem's guts.
