gnome-shell currently initiates an automatic login attempt if
timed login is enabled and the timed login animation completes.
Unfortunately, if animations are disabled (as is the case for
virtual machines) then the timed login animation will complete
instantly, and timed login will proceed immediately after gnome-shell
has noticed the user is idle for 5 seconds.
This commit addresses that problem by initiating timed login and the
animation from a main loop timeout, instead of using the tweener api.
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

The user list uses the same indication for hover and focus, so it
is possible for two items to be highlighted at the same time. Using
different styling would improve the situation, but only to some
extent - the user would still need to figure out which highlight
corresponds to which activation method. So instead, copy the
approach we use in popup menus and use a single property for
highlights that is updated by both focus- and hover changes.

It's weird if after you select a username from the user list, there's
a password already filled in.
This commit disables at that feature for the login screen
(but keeps it in tact for the unlock screen)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766139
If the user clicks Not Listed? to enter ask for username mode, clicks
cancel, and then attempts to log in via the user list, the user will see
"Authentication failed" after correctly typing the password, and then
will become stuck in an empty screen with just the gray noise background.
The problem is, we forgot to disconnect from the signal that's waiting
for the next button to be pressed on the username entry screen. Since
the signal handler that executes here is expecting the username to be
input, and isn't prepared for us to have switched back to user list,
various bad things happen. We try to start two gdm-password
conversations at once, for instance, one using the user's password as
the username. I stopped investigating here, because it's easy to fix by
disconnecting from the signal at the right time.

Generally a user-changed operation will be uninteresting, but if the
user is currently in the user list and the account changes to locked, we
want to remove it from the list, or if the user is not in the list and
the account changed to unlocked, we want to add it to the list. This
fixes the case where a new user account created in gnome-control-center
does not appear in the user list. The password mode is set in the new
account immediately after it is created, but the operations are not
atomic, so the login dialog considers the new user account when it is
still locked and rejects it from being displayed, then immediately
afterwards the account is unlocked. This commit causes the login dialog
to show the account when this occurs.
The containsUser() check here is not strictly necessary, but reduces
spurious calls to addUser() and removeUser(), since there's no easy way
to check if the locked status of the account has changed (as it's much
easier to connect to one signal on the UserManager than to
notify::locked on each User object).

LoginDialog has a private _user, but UserListItem has a public user.
Easy to get wrong since _user would be the right thing to type in 90% of
this file.
We currently will always allocate the user list's preferred size, so it
will grow indefinitely and never scroll; limit the height instead to
get the desired scrolling behavior when necessary.

We fade out the authentication prompt when a user successfully
logs into a user session. We reset it and fade it back in when
the user switches back to the login screen VT.
The problem is, we only fade it back in if the auth prompt status is
VERIFICATION_SUCCEEDED. It's possible for it to be NOT_VERIFYING
if the authprompt gets reset for some other reason in the interim.
This commit changes the check to be more precise. We now only skip
the fade-in, if we're already faded in, and we only skip the reset if
we're already reset.

If the login screen actors aren't placed at pixel
boundaries then they will show up blurred with fuzzy
text.
This commit ensures all actor allocations are floored
to integer coordinates.

Currently the menu position below the button means that the menu
can extend to roughly half the screen height before ending up partly
off-screen. This is plenty of space for commonly installed sessions,
but some users have a significantly higher number of sessions in the
list. Move the menu to the side of the button in that case to maximize
the vertical space the menu may take up.

There's some vestigial code for hiding the user list
that runs at the same time its parent is hidden.
Only the parent should be hidden, at this point, so
there's situations where the user list hides and
never comes back.
This commit fixes that, by deleting the vestigial code.

We currently use the setActiveSession method to both mark a menu item as
selected, and also tell gdm about the current session the user selected.
Since gdm is ultimately in charge of the state, we should decouple this
and simply ask gdm to set the session, and have the menu item reflect
what gdm thinks is the current session.
This prevents state getting mismatched and oscillations from happening,
where we get in a loop of constantly telling gdm what the session is.

The problem is caused by '_askForUsernameAndBeginVerification' being
called multiply times. So when we click 'next', the old connected
function will also be executed.
After the login banner is shown and hidden, the first user
in the user list becomes non-reactive. This is because the
banner is given an opacity of 0, but still allocated.
This commit fixes that by hiding the banner explicitly.

Normally when a user uses the login screen to log in, the
login screen gets killed and the user session takes over
the display.
This doesn't happen for wayland sessions, though. Instead,
the login screen gets reset, and the wayland session is started
on another VT.
The greeter proxy object needs to be recreated after this reset,
since it's associated with state no longer coupled to the login
screen after the reset.
This commit moves greeter proxy creation to happen at reset time.

Frequently banner messages are longer than can reasonable
fit in a one column view, which leads to a smooshed layout.
This commit changes the layout to a two column view, with the
banner on the left and the prompt on the right, if the banner
message is long enough that it can't fit well above the prompt.
If there isn't enough space for two columns then we keep the
one column layout but add scrollbars.

The login screen supports showing a banner message which admins
can use to mention login rules or disclaimers.
This message only shows up currently if the user list is enabled.
Most people who want to show a banner message also want to disable
the user list.
This commit moves the banner message to display when the user is
prompted for login credentials instead of when showing the user
list. It also adds a scrollbar if the message is too long.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
The login screen is pretty custom full screen container and the standard
layout managers aren't really a good fit for the kind of layout that's
happening. This will be even more problematic with upcoming changes
to login banners, so we need to switch techniques.
This commit moves login dialog over to using a custom allocate handler
that has specific domain knowledge of the parts of the login screen
and where they go.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
If the user list is disabled and the user clicks cancel quickly enough
after typing their username, they can get in a state where the
auth prompt gets stuck in the insensitive state.
This is because the login dialog code makes the prompt insensitive
while while pam is processing the provided username, but the prompt
only makes itself sensitive again when it is hidden.
This commit makes it sensitive right before asking for a username again.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740141
When a user logs in to a wayland session, we keep the login screen
running on the X server with the login screen running in a deactivated mode.
This commit makes sure it get reactivated when the user comes back to
the VT (from user switching, logout or just ctrl-alt-f1).

Loading the user list can be expensive, for instance when there is
a large number of users and/or their avatars have to be fetched over
the network. In case the user list is disabled anyway, there is no
point in doing that work just to hide it, so stop doing that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725905
Right now we queue populating the user list in the middle of setting
up the dialog actors. Of course, the actual population happens some time
later after going back to the main loop.
It's more logical to structure the code so the the actors are
instantiated first in one block and then other things after that.
This commit moves the user list population enqueuing operation to the
bottom of the constuctor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721868
In some cases we load the user list after going back
to main loop and in other cases we load the user list
right away (depending on if accounts service is ready).
In the case we load the user list right away we cause a
traceback because loading the user list forces a reset,
which then tries to reset actors which aren't instantiated
yet.
This commit ensures the user list is loaded after the constructor
finishes and the event loop runs irregardless of the accountsservice
state.
