All callers have been updated to use MetaSoundPlayer. This drops direct
usage of libcanberra-gtk, and the X11 connection indirectly. One thing
worth noting is that we pass less metadata (eg. event x/y that might be
used for surrounding effects). This was all largely unused, so the
MetaSoundPlayer was made simpler.

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved
into three different places: MetaDisplay, MetaX11Display (for X11
specific functionality) and MetaWorkspaceManager.

Negative values don't make sense to timestamps, and an unsigned
timestamp as returned by shell_global_get_current_time() or
Gdk/Clutter events may exceed the range of signed integers.

Cut down on boilerplate by using the (no longer that) new helper
macros. We don't care about breaking ABI in private libraries, so
use G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE even where the class struct used to be
exposed in the header, except for types we inherit from ourselves
(obviously) or where the class exposes any vfuncs (where changes
could affect inheritance in extensions).
Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.

The duality of the Clutter's key focus and mutter's window focus has long been
a problem for us in lots of case, and caused us to create large and complicated
hacks to get around the issue, including GrabHelper's focus grab model.
Instead of doing this, tie basic focus management into the core of gnome-shell,
instead of requiring complex "application-level" management to get it done
right.
Do this by making sure that only one of an actor or window can be focused at
the same time, and apply the appropriate logic to drop one or the other,
reactively.
Modals are considered a special case, as we grab all keyboard events, but at
the X level, the client window still has focus. Make sure to not do any input
synchronization when we have a modal.
At the same time, remove the FOCUSED input mode, as it's no longer necessary.

Currently we simply set the gsettings key when activating an input
source. This obviously introduces a time window, between the event that
activates the switch and when the switch is complete, under which key
events are being delivered to applications and interpreted according
to the previous input source.
The patches in bug 696996 introduce a DBus API in g-s-d that allows us
to know when an input source if effectively active. Using that and
freezing keyboard events in the X server until we hear back from g-s-d
we can ensure that events won't be misinterpreted after an input
source switch.

The notifications spec has two hints for playing a sound, sound-file
and sound-name. We can support them using the existing code that
wraps libcanberra.

As pressure barriers need a signalling mechanism to provide
information about when and where they are hit, an object which
provides a signal is a more appropriate abstraction for a pointer
barrier than a functional ID-based approach. Mutter has gained
pointer barrier wrappers, so use its objects instead of ours.

While looking at how the plymouth implementation was built, I was so
short-sighted and focused on the string "_XROOTPMAP_ID" that I didn't
realize it was the name of the standard background on the root window.
Remove our own implementation, and switch to using a standard mutter
MetaBackgroundActor.

The supposed reason for launching the calendar server in a peculiar
way was so that the process would be killed when the Shell was killed,
but that didn't actually work. Launch the calendar server through auto-start,
and persist all throughout the session.

Add a session-mode property on ShellGlobal which corresponds to the
new --mode switch. Make the existing ShellGlobal:session-type property
readonly and base it on ShellGlobal:session-mode to avoid conflicts.

Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.

Allow push_modal to optionally only work with a keyboard only grab and
use that in altTab as a fallback to allow switching windows while a pointer grab
is in effect (like during DND operations).

This commit introduces a "session type" for
gnome-shell. It essentially defines what
mode of operation the shell runs in
(normal-in-a-users-session mode, or at-the-login-screen mode).
Note this commit only lays the groundwork. Actually
looking at the key and appropriately differentiating
the UI will happen in subsequent commits.

Adds methods to shell_global to allow taking screenshots
save the result into a specified png image.
It exposes three methods via shellDBus applications like
gnome-screenshot:
*) Screenshot (screenshots the whole screen)
*) ScreenshotWindow (screenshots the focused window)
*) ScreenshotArea (screenshots a specific area)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652952
Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to
the layout manager's 'monitors-changed' signal to know when the screen
geometry has changed.
