We've been dangling on the edge of unsafety, unnoticed, for a little while
about the reference count safety of ShellScreenshot. GJS owns the entire
reference count, so as soon as it goes out of scope it could die, causing
GJS to try and fetch the corresponding wrapper object for a stale pointer.
We haven't seen any crashes because of luck -- SpiderMonkey tries to group
together deallocations to limit GC pauses, and there isn't really a lot
of GC pressure in the duration that a screenshot happens, so we tend to
be mostly stable. But in the case that you create a lot of objects while
a screenshot is going on, by hammering the "Print Screen" button, for
example, you can destroy the GObject before the callback finishes.

StBoxLayout currently does not handle height-for-width children
correctly under some circumstances. As a work-around, hard-code
a label height of two lines of text, which should work for most
locales in the one place the widget is currently used.

We currently require users to tab away from the search entry before
search results can be navigated using arrow keys. For convenience,
support using arrow keys directly from the entry.

To avoid messing up St.Buttons' internal state with a pointer grab,
we wait for the pointer to leave the actor before starting the
drag operation manually. This works generally fine, but makes starting
a drag operation harder than necessary. To fix, enforce a reasonable
button state when starting the drag, rather than special-casing buttons
before the drag.

Currently compilation fails with -Werror, as we don't handle the
(newly introduced) smooth scroll events in switch statements; add
some basic support, which should make the compiler happy.

Currently, click and drop events are handled by each WorkspaceThumbnail
instance. With the introduction of the workspace cut and the request
to extend the reactive area of the workspace selector to the edge
of the monitor, it becomes more convenient to do all the event handling
inside ThumbnailsBox, even if this requires some manual layout computation.
