Because of the animation and collision with relayout, the title of windows in overview may not appear, mainly
the first time we enter in overview
With an animation delay of 0.1s, you'll not see the difference
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709392
We added special code to sort each row in the overview so that
windows were less likely to cross lines, but the awkward control
flow meant that everything but the last row got sorted.

Commit 16fa186b63 attempted to fix the zoom animation problem
by throwing changes on the floor while the overview is animating. This has
the side effect that we might end up missing some positioning changes causes
windows to overlap the workspace thumbnails.
So revert those changes and fix it by simply by passing
WindowPositionFlags.ANIMATE during the overview animation.
This way the animation works as expected and we don't miss any position changes.

Meta laters are invoked in reverse order of registration, so
having multiple laters propagating the geometry cause all but the
first one in the frame (which is usually wrong) to be ignored.
Instead, queue at most one later call, and use the last set geometry
in the callback.

If windows are removed or added, we shouldn't keep the old layout, as it's
not valid anymore. If windows are removed, this is especially bad, as the
rows contain references to the removed window objects, causing crashes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698622
Instead of applying an additional scale factor to all the rows in the
layout, only do it for those rows that don't fit.
This avoids the visual distraction of resizing a row when there's no
need to.
Instead of doing an entire recalculation of window positions when
sliding the thumbnails box, simply recalculate the position and scale
with basic aspect ratio math. This also ensures that windows won't
miraculously swap positions, even if we reposition windows while the
thumbnails box is expanded.

Split out the part that moves the window clones around from
the part that calculates the window clone positions, and rename
both methods so that the overall meaning is more clear.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Repositioning will eventually be separated from recalculation
to accomodate two different geometries, so we'll need to do
the padding and area manipulation in two different areas.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
As we want to eventually track two geometries, we need to rename
our very plain "_x, _y, _width, _height". While we could just prefix
them, I think that stuffing them in an object makes more sense.
At the same time, make the variable and method name more descriptive
by adding such a prefix, as well as a bit of documentation.

This was saved so that doing something which called relayout
but only changed the area rectangle would simply be needed to
recompute window scaling parameters. With the new overview
relayout, the flow control changed, it turns out that the
current layout is always cleared. Remove this for now, and we'll
put in a different strategy for this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Windows can be restacked at any time, including when the stackAbove
property of the window clone is being dragged, and thus parented to
the uiGroup. To do stacking properly, we need to skip it for the duration
of the drag, and sync it again at the end (which is already done by
mutter because of the workspace change)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685285
This can happen if you open two or three terminal windows, and then
open the overview -- they're not centered. The issue is that because
of the WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE clamping, the scale that is being
laid out is different from the scale that the layout was calculated
for.
Implement and document a hack-ish solution which simply keeps the
scale for the layout as originally calculated, but centers the
windows inside the cell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Multiplication is linear, so we can split this out as a separate
component. This will make it easier to think of it as an additional
per-window scaling factor, rather than tweaking the scale a bit,
which is more correct to the model.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
While we won't tear down the entire strategy infrastructure, we want to
rework some layout code in the future, so just tear this piece out for
now.

Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts
with window zooming in the picker.
As changing workspaces is far more useful than the zoom feature,
remove the latter in order to "free" the scroll wheel for workspace
switching.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686639
Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the
thumbnail arrangement. It also made sense when the thumbnails were of a similar
size.
Nowadays we reflect the size of windows in the size of the thumbnail. This
leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.
Removing the grid alignment would also lead to larger thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694210
Making them not fully opaque just makes them harder to see and there is no reason why the user should care whether the window is minimized or not when
switching to a window display them like any other windows.

If WindowOverlay.relayout() is called without animation, we must stop
any preexisting animation, otherwise it will continue to run with the
previous parameters and cause the overlay to end up in the wrong position.
