These properties are never written; in the base class they are always
their default values, and in the subclasses the getters are overridden.
This will be necessary because GJS is adding checks to make sure that
readable properties always have a getter, writable properties always
have a setter, and that the variations of camelCase/snake_case are
handled correctly. It's supposedly backwards compatible, but that
assumes that code is not doing things like forgetting a setter on a
writable property. (If the missing setter had ever been called, it might
have led to a crash, which is why we've made this change.)
This is the minimally invasive patch which should work with both older
and newer versions of GJS. If you decide to require GJS 1.65.2, then
you'll also be able to remove the getters from NotificationPolicy as
well.

We want the spinner to be centered with regard to the entry, but
constraining the height breaks that:
1. clutter_actor_allocate() is called with the available size
2. clutter_actor_update_constraints() then adjusts that according
to the constraints
3. clutter_actor_adjust_allocation() applies the margin/expand/align
properties.
The issue there is that 2. reduces the allocation to the desired size,
so there is no more extra space to distribute in 3.
We can fix this by either constraining everything (and rely on the
cancel button's alignment) or limit the constraint to the width. The
latter seems more appropriate, given that the constraint is only used
to center the entry horizontally.

Right now, the actor hierarchy is such that the scroll view
does not contain the actual grid. It looks as follows:
StScrollView
↓
StBoxLayout

ShellStack

PaginatedIconGrid StWidget
This hierarchy can be slightly reorganized by changing it to be as
follows:
ShellStack
↓ ↓
StScrollView StWidget
↓
StBoxLayout
↓
PaginatedIconGrid
This will simplify future work where the PaginatedIconGrid will be
an implementation of StScrollable, in which case we'll be able to
simply remove the StBoxLayout from there.

If a search provider is installed by an app which is blacklisted for the
current user by their parental controls, don’t show it or results for
it.
Currently, this only filters ‘remote’ (not built-in to the shell) search
providers. This seems fine for now; in future it could be expanded to
also filter built-in search providers, if any of them end up needing to
be filtered.
No corresponding changes need to be made `remoteSearch.js`, because the
results of `loadRemoteSearchProviders()` are filtered in `search.js`.

While we now deal more gracefully with adapter removals, we can
still mess up the hadSetupDevices tracking:
As adapters become available before any devices, we'll always
reset the setting to false when Bluetooth is turned on. And if
no set up device happens to be in range, it will still be false
when Bluetooth is turned off again.
To address that, only update the setting if we have an adapter
(like we do now) and we had one before (so it wasn't the adapter
itself that changed).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1174
Our intended behavior when bluetooth is turned off is to keep
the menu visible if devices had been set up previously.
However since gnome-bluetooth@c437c729, devices are removed
first before removing the default adapter, so we now end up
always setting the property to false before checking for it.
Fix this by deferring all model changes to an idle, so that
we can process them as a unit. Do the same for proxy property
changes, as those may trigger a row-removal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1174
Since commit 26c2cb9f65, nDevices is always the actual number of

Pretty much the same case of the previous commit: we want this size

The return value of st_theme_node_lookup_length() is scaled according

Use a single coordinate system (unscaled sizes) in IconGrid.BaseIcon.

Usually the screen is woken up before the shield is deactivated, but
it is also possible to unlock the session programmatically via the

Waking up the screen is more likely to meet expectations and is
more reasonable too, so do that.

Extension that want to expose their own preferences (for example as menu
items) do that by passing their UUID to gnome-shell-extension-prefs.
But since 3.36.1 the app is optional and no longer accepts arguments on
the command line. To adjust, extensions now need to make a D-Bus call
the extensions portal, just like the app and gnome-shell.
We will add a convenience method for that purpose, so it makes
sense to share the existing code. As it's extension-related, the
extension manager looks like the right place ...

A promisified method expects the callback parameter to be either
a function (in which case the original method is called normally)
or omitted altogether (in which case a Promise is returned).
The call to open application details in Software does neither and
passes null instead, which will result in a warning (because no
function argument means a promise will be used, but not omitting
the parameter means we end up with too many arguments).

During the shell initialization we call the (deprecated) function to
override the Desktop environment in Gio DesktopAppInfo to make sure that
applications are correctly shown (as per commit b2fbf5a2), however this
might break the cases in which $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is already set and
contains GNOME (given that is now a list).
In Ubuntu this is in fact set to: ubuntu:GNOME.
Now, if an application contains NotShowIn=ubuntu, the key will be ignored by
the shell, and the application is still listed everywhere.
So, override the DesktopAppInfo desktop environment only in the case that
the current desktop is not already GNOME.
At the current date I think we could just safely get rid of this override at
all, but there could be still cases where it still might be useful, like when
running as nested in some other environment, so keeping it.

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular

Starting the animation from the actor 'paint' signal has various
unwanted consequences, such as sometimes trigger a
clutter_actor_queue_relayout() during the paint phase. One unwanted
consequence was that an offscreen actor effect was disabled during
painting, meaning the effect would begin being active, but later during
the post-paint processing being disabled. The caused said effect to push
an offscreen framebuffer to the paint context, but then just destroy it
instead of popping it. When this happened, we'd end up trying to operate
on a framebuffer that may had been finalized, or not, depending on the
garbage collector. Sometimes, for some users, this caused a segmentation
fault when trying to pop a matrix from the framebuffer matrix stack.
Deal with this more properly, by using the 'view-loaded' signal to wait
with animation until the view is loaded, as well as using MetaLater to
schedule the start of the animation.
For when a view was signalled to be ready, we're in a state where we can
start animation before the next frame as the layout is ready, but when
not, we have to add back the "hack" where we must wait for one frame for
the target icon positions to be up to date. Do this by adding a
MetaLater IDLE callback that starts the animation *after* the next
frame. This also needs the old 'opacity = 0' work around to not show an
incorrect first frame.

It seems there is a weird race condition between Clutter trying to
destroy the keyboard actor and Clutter trying to hide the keyboardBox
container actor: If the keyboardBox is hidden before destroying the
keyboard actor, Clutter doesn't repaint anything and the keyboard
remains visible until something else draws over it.
To fix this issue until we find the underlying Clutter bug, simply
destroy the keyboard actor before hiding the keyboardBox. The order in
which we call these doesn't matter anyway since hideKeyboard(true) hides
the keyboard immediately without an animation.

We're dealing with attached keyboards now using the touch_mode property
of ClutterSeat: If a device has a keyboard attached, the touch-mode is
FALSE and we won't automatically show the OSK on touches, also the
touch-mode gets set to FALSE when an external keyboard is being plugged
in, so that also hides the OSK automatically.
With that, we can now ignore keyboard devices when updating the last
used device and no longer have to special-case our own virtual devices.
Because there was no special-case for the virtual device we use on
Wayland now, this fixes a bug where the keyboard disappeared after
touching keys like Enter or Backspace.

The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code

We include config.js because it is a dependency of ExtensionUtils,

in the tree or generate it ourselves.

Instead of adding a dragMonitor for every icon in the grid as soon as
one icon is getting dragged, only add a dragMonitor for the icon that is
currently being dragged over (ie. the current drag-target). With a large
number of icons in the iconGrid, this should significantly reduce lags
while dragging.
We can do this by detecting the DnD-entering of an icon or folder using
the `handleDragOver()` callback of drag-targets, adding the dragMonitor
because we know an icon is hovering above the drag-target and then
detecting the DnD-leaving of the drag-target by using the `dragMotion()`
handler, where we remove the dragMonitor again as soon as the
targetActor is no longer our actor (ie. the drag-target).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/849
While it should be impossible to destroy a FolderIcon while a DnD action
is still going on, there might still be rare cases where this happens
(ie. when a folder is removed because an app got deleted during DnD).
So make sure we're on the safe side here and don't potentially leave
dragMonitors around after the icon is destroyed by removing the
dragMonitor inside the onDestroy handler of the FolderIcon, just like we
do for AppIcons.

to express the offset of the current cursor position but
the first one of clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() is UINT
since the Wayland spec accepts UINT in delete_surrounding()
mutter will change the type of the first one to INT in

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an

we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.
The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:
- filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
to files)
- system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)
- extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
gnome-shell's dependencies
- if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs
And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).
This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:
- it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows
- it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
in the same namespace as the extension itself
That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
We are jumping through quite some hoops to support showing only the
preference dialog when given a UUID on the command line.
As gnome-shell is about to stop calling out to us for the prefs dialog,
the reason for supporting this is going away, so remove all the special
handling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
The dialog that contains the extension's preference widget has become
fairly complex over time, mostly due to the error handling.

On X11, _onFocusChanged() updates the input region, as well as the
reactive-ness of the dialog's buttons.
That method is not only used as signal handlers (which are correctly
disconnected when the dialog is hidden), it also runs when the "show"
transition completes.
That's a problem if the transition is still ongoing when the dialog is
hidden, as it will then only complete when it is replaced by the "hide"
transition, after the this._dialog has been reset to null, and trying
to access the dialog's buttons results in an error.
Avoid this by explicitly removing all transition on hide before
resetting the dialog.

Commit c1ec7b2ff meant to fall back to the base layout in case

We only show the list of system- and user extensions if corresponding

Using the "regular" loadInterfaceXML() helper means less code duplication,

In order to untangle the extension app from core gnome-shell, change that

We want to make the extensions app code more self-contained to make it

One complication we are facing is that it is currently all over the source

- src for the launcher process
- data for .desktop file and icons
Switching from a C launcher to the imports.package module allows us to
consolidate the first two, and will also take care of the annoying

Extension updates are installed at startup, so any errors that bubble
up uncaught will prevent the startup to complete.
While the most likely error reason was addressed in the previous commit
(pending update for a no-longer exitent extension), it makes sense to
catch any kind of corrupt updates to not interfere with shell startup.

When an extension is uninstalled, there is no point in keeping
a pending update: If the update didn't fail (which it currently
does), we would end up sneakily reinstalling the extension.
