There is not always a clear distinction between code and style,
which is why the interface ends up being mostly unusable when we
end up without *any* style, for instance because the specified
application-stylesheet is corrupt.
Setting the default stylesheet in addition to the application-stylesheet
is no guarantee for non-default themes not messing up the interface, but
it should at least lower the risk ...

With sticky keys, users should be able to press and release a
modifier and then press a key to activate a modifier-key combination.
Activating the overview on the Super key release keeps these
users from using keyboard shortcuts involving the Super modifier.
The solution implemented here is to simply disable the Super-release
binding if sticky keys are enabled. It is still possible to go
to the overview by using Super-S or Alt-F1.

Since commit 7cdb75e7ce, initializing UI is deferred until the session
mode has been loaded. However DBus is still initialized immediately,
which means that for DBus methods that access properties in Main, there
is now a window between the method being exposed on the bus and the
method being ready to be called. At least g-s-d grabbing global keybindings
is likely to fall in this window on session startup, and almost guaranteed
when regrabbing bindings after a shell restart.
To fix, defer initializing DBus as well.

With fallback mode gone, we can no longer rely on gnome-screensaver
being installed. Rather than handling three different cases (GDM,
gnome-screensaver, no lock), disable the lock functionality when
not running under GDM.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693403
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

but as UnlockDialog includes UserMenu, we cannot use the existing check
without creating a circular dependency; move the function to a more
generic place to fix.

We currently call the session updated handler as soon as
the session modes are read. This handler sets up keybindings
for leaving the overview (if a user session) and shows the
login dialog (if a gdm session).
We can't do the latter until the stage is mapped because it
takes a grab, and we don't need to do the former until the
user goes into the overview.
This commit defers processing session updates until the
the layout manager says start up is prepared.
It fixes a race condition at login screen startup now that
we don't show the stage right away.

This cleans up the code considerably, and makes it so that
one path creates all hot corners for all monitors. Why this

to the overview.

Right now we take a still frame of the desktop before showing the
start up animation. This gives us an animation over what was

That's not actually desirable when restarting the shell. We don't

over the noise texture.
This commit drops the still frames in favor of the noise texture.

Mutter now makes session registration an explicit required

We sometimes map the stage before we've loaded a background on it
because of a race asynchronously loading the session mode.

commit 92083eaf76 made
session mode loading an asynchronous operation.

Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed

Since we eventually want to add a system for changing the top panel

The correct way to make an actor having the same size as another is
a ClutterBindConstraint. Connecting to 'allocation-changed' fails because
the allocation might not change even when 'width' and 'height' properties do.

The AutomountManager class is the low-level counterpart of the

Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.

A PolicyKit Authentication Agent is a construct used to authenticate
one or more identities. See the PolicyKit documentation for more
details on authentication agents and how PolicyKit works:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/
Since gjs does not support subclassing a GObject class from Javascript
code, we bring in a native class to bridge the VFuncs to GObject
signals. Additionally, this native class also queues up authentication
requests so the user of the native class only has to deal with a
single outstanding request at any one time.
The file js/ui/polkitAuthenticationAgent.js introduces a singleton
that listens for authentication requests via the native class. This
singleton uses the PolkitAgent machinery to do the actual heavy-weight
lifting required for authentication (essentially a PAM conversation).
We currently don't allow the user to pick the identity to be
authenticated.

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.

The new plans for a row of workspace thumbnails on the right side of the
overview means that the mental model we present to the user will be
vertical, so switch the Metacity workspace layout to be vertical and
adjust the keybinding handling, animations, and workspace layout in
the overview to match.
(This commit does not change the workspace switching indicator pending
finalization of what we want to do with that - it still shows workspaces
arranged vertically.)

Right now popModal() passes global.get_current_time() for
its begin_modal() call. global.get_current_time() is the
timestamp of the last gdk or clutter event processed by the
shell's mutter process. These values could potentially be
be too stale to use if pushModal() were to get called in
response to an event by another process.
This commit changes pushModal() to have an optional timestamp
argument, which can be used to associate the call with the
event that initiated it.

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.

Although certain keys (like Ctrl-Alt-Tab and Alt-F2) should work in
the overview, we generally don't want them to work from inside each
others grabs. In particular, typing Left or Right from inside
Ctrl-Alt-Tab should navigate among focus groups, not switch
workspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636971
Also, change _globalKeyPressHandler to handle KEY_PRESS, not
KEY_RELEASE, for consistency with other code (and so that the
combination of an Alt-F1 press and release doesn't first enter the
overview and then immediately exit it).

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.

Until recently, the clutter keyboard focus was almost always kept on
the stage, and bits of code that wanted to do stuff with the keyboard
would just watch for key-press-events on the stage. In several places,
the code wasn't even bothering to ensure that the focus was on the
stage, which caused problems with other actors that explicitly grabbed
focus.
A previous fix for this (f21403fd) was to always reset the focus to
the stage after calling pushModal(), but a better fix is to just
actually make use of the keyboard focus everywhere rather than having
everyone try to read events off the stage.
Now pushModal(actor) also does actor.grab_key_focus(), and various
bits of code have been changed to read key events off their own
toplevels rather than off the stage, meaning there's no chance of them
accidentally getting someone else's events.

The code to draw the root background has now been moved into Mutter,
with added smarts to not draw obscured portions. Remove the old
version of the code and clone the Mutter background actor to draw
the background in the overview.

This way the new modal level is independent of whatever may have been
happening before. Fixes a problem with status menus becoming active
again from inside the app switcher, etc.
MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.

Introduce the Universal Access status indicator as designed, modeled
after the similar UI provided by g-s-d. This indicator allows the user
to change rapidly the keyboard and mouse behaviour (sticky keys, slow
keys, bounce keys, mouse keys), as well as the enabled ATs (magnifier,
screen reader, screen keyboard) and the HighContrast Gtk theme.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624916
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.

Currently we only relayout when the screen size changes, this gets
the cases where a monitor gets added/removed but not when the primary
monitor changes.
We need to relayout on all monitor layout changes.
Remove ShellGlobal::screen-size-changed signal as it is no longer used, Gdk is
used to track changes now.
A ShellGlobal::gdk-screen property is added for this purpose.

We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.
This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.
The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.
The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.

The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
Adds the ability to create one or more zoom regions that show magnified or
enhanced views of the desktop. The magnifier provides options for:
* magnification factor,
* four mouse tracking modes common to screen magnifiers,
* positioning the magnified view in one of four screen location, or full screen,
* crosshairs to accentuate the position of the mouse,
* user preferences persistence via GConf (schemas in
.../data/gnome-shell.schemas).
* a DBus API to allow other processes to drive the magnifier as a service.

In preparation for adding magnification, "uiGroup.patch", organizes the stage
along the following lines:
Stage
*Magnifier
UI group
Window group
Chrome group
Overlay group
Alt tab
App display
Chrome
...
This allows a magnifier actor to clone and magnify the UI group. The magnifier
is a sibling of the UI Group in this stage oraganization -- see the next patch,
"Magnifier.patch".
