They are bigger and show an ellipsis if the count goes over 99. They
now have a blurred background and a drop shadow based on
data/theme/close-window.svg.

The original design for the overview had buttons for searching for
Wikipedia and Google, but in practice this is a bad idea. The buttons
are the default activations, meaning that using the overview as a
fluent motion of launching something - "firefxo<Enter>", will launch
Google/Wikipedia.

Unlike the fallback gdm UI, we do not indicate in the user list
whether a user already has an open session or not. This information
is useful, so use a spotlight effect similar to the running-app
indicator to mark logged in users.

The design calls for the curtain to appear in the gdm greeter too.
Implement this by having the screenshield manage the login dialog
(delegating its creation to SessionMode).

While modal dialogs were attached to the parent's titlebar, it
made sense to leave the top of the parent window at full color.
With the new position of modal dialogs, it makes more sense to dim
the entire parent window, so we can use a combination of Clutter's
BrightnessContrast- and DesaturateEffect instead of our own custom
shader.

Right now, we are hard-depending on the presence of Evolution by
using its settings schemas. This is likely to be unpopular, and
also causes instability if someone happens not to have Evolution
installed, so install a schema that has the same data path as
the Evolution schema, but a different name and install that
for the keys we need.
To avoid a string-freeze break, we rely on the translations in
Evolution - if Evolution isn't installed, the key descriptions
will be untranslated in dconf-editor.

Add an asynchronous search provider for results from a DBus service
implementing the org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider interface; this
will allow applications to hook into the Shell's search without
implementing it in Shell itself or requiring an extension.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663125
We will allow applications to hook into shell's search by registering
a service which implements a well-known DBus interface.
"search-providers" is a reasonable directory name for applications to
drop their registration files, but it conflicts with "search_providers"
used by open search providers - rename the latter to avoid confusion.

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.

Mutter/Metacity settings overridden by the shell have not been
migrated when moving to GSettings, but there's no good reason not
to migrate those preferences as well.

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.

Make summary sources look more clickable and highlight them when selected.
Highlighting the fully expanded summary source when selected matches the
highlighting in the top bar items and teaches the user that any part of the
expanded summary source can be clicked.
Based on the initial patches by Florian Müllner and Jonathan Strander.

gs-applications was introduced because we initially wanted a limited set
of categories, but this has now changed and we're back to categories
similar to the ones in the applications.menu from gnome-menus.
We can fix gnome-menus to have better categories, if needed.

Update the style of the panel to match the latest mockups.
- add a subtle border at the bottom of the panel
- use a highlight of active panel buttons similar to the one
used for running applications in the dash/app view
- shadow the buttons' label/icon when highlighted

With workspaces now being stacked vertically, the horizontal
indicators in the workspace switcher are rather odd. There are
some designs for an improved workspace switch animation, but
it may take a while to implement them, so for now just change
the orientation of the existing switcher.

With automatic workspace management, explicit controls to add and
remove workspaces are no longer necessary. We also can remove the
use of addWorkspace for middle-button-click on a launcher since
launching on the last empty workspace will do the right thing.

A key for 12hr/24hr clock format has been added to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
so use that instead of the one from the shell clock schema.
As the setting can be controlled from the Date and Time panel of
gnome-control-center now, drop the temporary preference dialog
as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633200
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.

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.

Override the new mutter preference /apps/mutter/general/attach_modal_dialogs
to attach modal dialogs to their parent window. Animate the modal dialogs
expanding from the top of the parent window. Slowly dim the parent window
after the dialog comes up.

The Shell is the only user of the magnifier, so there's no
reason to keep using GConf for its settings. Since it's a
session-wide tool, use a distinct schema,
org.gnome.accessibility.magnifier, stored in
/desktop/gnome/accessibility/magnifier just like before.
Put these settings in a separate schema file for clarity.
Old enums in GConf were stored as integers, we now use the
facilities provided by GSettings to save them as strings,
and convert them to integers automatically thanks to the
mapping stored in the schemas. Remove hard-coded default values,
which we can get from the schemas.
