Using a single resource file for all JS sources saves a couple of
build system instructions, but has some serious downsides:
- bundling the entire shell code with the tools blows
up their size unnecessarily
- the tools are rebuilt unnecessarily for any shell
code change
Autotools was painful enough to let this slip, but with meson we
don't have any excuses - using the actual dependencies speeds up
the build a tiny bit and reduces the tools' sizes from over 2M
to about 50k.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/192
Simply reusing the same dependencies as gnome-shell itself not only
means that we link tons of stuff unnecessarily, but also that we
have to do the whole mutter rpath dance for nothing. Just use the
dependencies those executables actually need for a nice cleanup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/192
We need this in the main gnome-shell executable in order to locate
the private Shell and St typelibs, but those aren't useful or even
usable in the extension-prefs/portal helper tools.

We show a cover pane on top of the overview during transitions to
prevent issues caused by clicks and mouseover events when the overview
is not ready. Right now, this pane is only being shown on the primary
monitor, which obviosly allows interactions to happen before the
animations are finished on the secondary monitors.
To fix this, use the size of the whole stage for the cover pane.
Emitting it that soon results in JS warnings, as we don't have
everything in place yet. The position-changed signal will be
emitted from other locations as soon as we have it.

Reported by desktop-file-validate:
error: value "True" for boolean key "NoDisplay" in group "Desktop
Entry" contains invalid characters, boolean values must be "false" or
"true"
When trying to close a window in the overview by clicking the close
button and the window doesn't get closed but a dialog is added to the
window afterwards, we close the overview and show the dialog.
Instead of adding a separate listener for the window-added signal to the
WindowOverlay, let the WindowClones remember that the close button was
pressed and activate themselves if a dialog is added after that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/180
When a dialog is added to a window while the overview is shown, we get
its parent using get_transient_for() so we can add it to the right
window clone.
If we have multiple layers of dialogs we have to do this recursively
until we find the root ancestor. This case currently results in an
infinite loop: Since parent is always set to the same window, the
while-condition will always be true.

For the OSD, all parameters except for the icon are optional - if the
caller doesn't include the 'label' option, the OSD won't show a label
etc.
While this makes sense for an API, it means that we have to be careful
to correctly differentiate an option that was omitted and an option
that has a 'falsy' value like false or 0.
Unfortunately since commit ccaae5d3c we no longer do, with the result
that OSDs meant for the first monitor will show up on all, and a level
of 0 is presented as no level bar instead of an empty one, whoops.

While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for
both developers and users, it is still inconvenient for everyone
who changed the defaults using the old overrides hack to lose
their settings. Address this by running a small script on startup
that migrates existing settings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786496
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.

Show an overamplified volume icon if volume is louder the max normalized one.
Use a similar logic as gnome-settings-daemon to delimit values, restricted
to output.
The purpose is to help users remember that visiting some websites or
using some apps can get LOUD.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Implement for barLevel an overdrive area. This is a zone represented via a
different styling to indicate that you are bypassing the normal zone of
a given level, without reaching yet the maximum limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Depending on hardware and recorded volume level, turning up the speakers
to the maximum volume may not be enough and the user will want to amplify
the volume above 100%. Currently this requires opening the sound Settings
panel which gets cumbersome when required repeatedly.
To support this case better, allow raising the sound volume above 100%
directly from the system menu if the feature is enabled via the
`allow-volume-above-100-percent` key in `org.gnome.desktop.sound`.
Allow osd representing levels that can be more than 100% by accepting
an optional parameter setting that maximum level.
gnome-settings-daemon will use this to indicate volume levels above 100%,
which our own volume indicator will soon support as well.
Ensure that both barLevel and slider can support a higher maxValue than 1
and computes various positions based on it.
It defaults to 1 if not set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Reuse the BarLevel class to get similar drawing behavior as Slider.
Rename theme css impacted properties and ensure that the osdWindow
remains accessible.
Ensure we don't force setting a custom border color like on the OSD.

In a9ad91c831, a bug was introduced in the following code:
```c
this._settingsAction.connect('clicked',
this._onSettingsClicked().bind(this));
```
Notice that the callback is being executed! This commit
fixes that by removing the '()' from the callback.
As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The settings action button in the system menu simply launches
gnome-control-center, so we want its icon (and accessible name)
to always match the app. So instead of keeping the button in-sync
with Settings, just look up that information from the app itself.

We can simply request the symbolic variant from CSS so that we don't
have to append '-symbolic' to all the names. This will always make
it easier to pick up that information from external sources (like
.desktop files).

Commit e5c95b910d refactored the workspace animation to also handle
animations that involve all surrounding workspaces, but due to an
ill-advised review comment (guess whose) it broke the animation
for non-neighboring workspaces.
Update the code to handle correctly whether in a given direction:
- we have the target workspace of a given index
- we have a neighboring workspace
- we don't need to animate anything

Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.
It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.
fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.

When the amount of free memory on the system is somewhat low, gnome-shell
will sometimes fail to launch apps, reporting the error:
fork(): Cannot allocate memory
fork() is failing here because while cloning the process virtual address
space, Linux worries that the thread being forked may end up COWing the
entire address space of the parent process (gnome-shell, which is
memory-hungry), and there is not enough free memory to permit that to
happen. This check is somewhat irrelevant because we are only forking
to immediately exec(), which will discard the whole virtual address
space anyway.
This issue can be avoided by using a new optimized gspawn codepath in
the latest glib development version, which uses posix_spawn() internally.
For the optimized codepath to be used, we must not pass a child_setup
function, so the the file descriptor management is reimplemented here
using new glib API to pass fds to the child process. The old API will
continue to be used on older glib versions.
We must also change the spawn flags for this code path to be hit.
I checked that gnome-shell's open file descriptors are all CLOEXEC
so using G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN should be safe.
This will result in more resilient app launching when memory is low,
since the optimized spawn path avoids cloning the virtual address
space of the parent process (gnome-shell) and avoids the irrelevant
memory overcommit check.

When 4fg swipe motion happens, set up early the workspace switching
animation with all surrounding workspaces. This allows us to move
all content back and forth in any direction. This works on both
touchcreens and touchpads.
When the gesture is activated, the same data is reused to follow
up with the tween animation.
The threshold has been also doubled, it was fairly small to start
with, and feels better now that workspaces stick to fingers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788994
Besides the separation into distinct functions, the stored data has
been made able to generically store windows from all surrounding
workspaces. All while keeping a special mode to animate between two
workspaces (The usual till now), this is the only mode exercised so
far.
In order to ease animations, all window groups are now children of
a common container, which is then animated.
While can_open_new_window() uses some elaborate heuristics to predict
whether an application can open multiple windows, open_new_window()
will always simply relaunch the application. This is often the best
we can do, but when an application provides a "new-window" action in
its .desktop file or on the bus, it is much more likely to work as
expected than blindly activating the app and hoping for a particular
behavior.

Graphical applications like GIMP or GIMP allow picking colors from
any location on-screen. In order to keep supporting this feature
on wayland and in sandboxed apps, we will expose an appropriate
method in the Screenshot interface, so first add a corresponding
method to ShellScreenshot.
