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.

Right now we hide the window group if we're a greeter.
We did this to avoid showing the background. These days
we don't add the background in the first place, so we
can drop this code.

gnome-desktop's background drawing code supports an
XML format for presenting backgrounds based on time of day,
monitor geometry, etc. Now that we don't use gnome-desktop for drawing the
background, we need to implement that support ourselves to maintain
feature parity.
This commit implements that.

This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background
api, and changes the shell's startup animation to be closer
to the mockups.

The user widget is the username and avatar shown on
the unlock dialog.
The login dialog has something very similar.
This commit separates the user widget out to its own
file, so we can use it from the login dialog in a
later commit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694062
Right now we very abruptly kill the login screen
and start the users session without any transition
out.
This commit introduces a fade out of the dialog and
panels.

According to the design mockups, the app picker should follow the
recent view pattern as used by applications, where the user is first
offered a subset of applications he/she is likely to start, and only
then allow switching to the full set of installed applications.
So implement the ability to manage several views in AppDisplay and add
FrequentView as additional view, which uses the existing ShellAppUsage
to display a list of frequently used applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
While a group is open, we want to block events on items underneath,
but still allow interaction with components outside the app display
as well as scrolling of the view as a whole.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
App folders are intended for grouping some applications, not to
assign a category to every single application, so we will only
create folders for a selected subset of the existing categories.
Software/Alacarte will eventually allow to create/modify those
folders, so store the setting in GSettings so that it can be
shared with those applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
At the moment when loading the applications, each app is inserted
at its correct (alphabetical) position. Avoid this overhead by
loading all apps first, then sort them once and fill the grid with
the sorted actors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app
launchers. Folders will pop up in the existing view, so add an
additional stack widget into the hierarchy which popups will use
as parent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
We are going to introduce app folders, which will also present an
alphabetical list of applications, but use a different UI. In
preparation for that, split out the item logic into an abstract
base class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
With categories removed, the separation between AllAppDisplay and
ViewByCategories no longer makes sense. Also use this opportunity
to rename the outdated AllAppDisplay to AppDisplay; it will
eventually be used to manage different views.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AppIcon is just a tiny wrapper around BaseIcon, which does not add
anything over using BaseIcon directly, so merge its code with
AppWellIcon. As the concept of the "app well" has not been used
since well before 3.0, use AppIcon as name for the merged class.

Doing it before the grab messes up the grab helper's tracking
of where the focus was before, leading to it not tracking the
saved focus correctly, meaning that when we pop the menu back
down with escape, it doesn't restore focus correctly.

Starting the startup animation when we don't have that much IO
makes it a lot more visible.

commit 92083eaf76 made
session mode loading an asynchronous operation.
Aspects of the session mode aren't known immediately at
start up. For instance, sessionMode.isGreeter returns
false for greeter sessions until the asynchronous
operation completes.
This commit defers start up processing until the session
mode is fully known.

The complex overview transition code means that there's no easy
way to handle with this right now. Blocking the message tray
while the overview is animating seems like the correct thing to do.

The activities button may come and go at any moment now that we
have a dynamic panel. We need to re-check the activities button
whenever the panel is updated.

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.
