Right now, when entering the overview, we compute the window slots about
four or five times, from scratch each time. Move to a queued system where
extraneous calls to positionWindows don't matter.

We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield
that is part of gnome-shell.
This patch fades out the screen on idle and shows a shield with a background
image when there is activity again. The shield can be removed with a key or
button press.

Clear the ClutterClickAction state before starting the drag,
otherwise it will eat the first button event after the drag,
preventing a new drag from being started.

If there's a single small window (e.g. empathy chat) in the overview, it
looks usable, because it's as big as outside of the overview, but when
you start to type, overview search is launched, which is confusing.
Fix that by setting maximum scale for window clones to 0.7

In overview when closing a window and afterwards dragging a window it can
happen that you pick a wrong window or no window if windows' positions is
updated while initiating the drag.
Fix that by delaying window rearrangement when cursor is over a window.

The window overlays may be shown erroneously if hideOverlays is
called while the corresponding clone has an uncompleted tween which
calls showOverlays in its onComplete handler, for instance when
quickly leaving the overview before the initial overview animation
has finished. To fix, remove all existing tweens when hiding the
overlays.

When in overview, window labels flicker or are temporarily hidden on a
number of occasions - when simply clicking around the area the windows
are displayed in, dragging a window, sliding in the workspace list,
adding new workspaces etc. This patch makes the label for any window
visible at any given moment when in overview and the said window is
not being dragged around.

WorkspacesDisplay was introduced to manage the workspace objects
and views; however, the overview still accesses the view held
by the workspacesDisplay directly, which is a bit odd.
Add some additional methods needed by the overview, and make the
view a private property.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().

js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

Right-click menus in the dash can be dismissed by clicking anywhere
outside the menu. However, if a window clone is located beneath the
pointer when doing so, the window is activated and the overview
closed.
The cause of this unexpected behavior is that window previews are
activated on button-release, which is delivered to the preview after
the menu releases its grab on button-press. Use a ClutterClickAction
instead and let Clutter do the right thing, i.e. only trigger a
'clicked' signal when a button-release event is matched by a
corresponding button-press event.

Commit e5bc3a2ba8 changed the hierarchy of WindowClone, which
broke activating windows on hover during xdnd operations. To
avoid intrusive changes, just hide the new actor from picks so
that DND operations pick the actor actually meant to represent
the corresponding window.

Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as
well as a timestamp; previously we might have been ignoring event
timestamps from elsewhere.

Commit 64b2b4a7d4 changed the monitor layout handling, resulting
in some layout errors due to a subtle change in memory handling:
when zooming a window in the overview, the available zoom area is
calculated by subtracting the panel height from the primary monitor
area. This area used to be a copy of the monitor rect, but as now
the rect itself is returned, zooming a window on the primary monitor
repeatedly modifies the monitor rect, leading to layout errors in
various parts of the shell.
Fix by using a copy when calculating the available zoom area.

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.

Currently the user has to find an empty spot in the workspace
to be able to launcha new instance of an app using dnd.
This is unnecessary hard, so just allow dropping on windows too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652079
Workspaces used to contain the desktop background, so when a
workspace was removed, we animated its actor to an off-screen
position before destroying it. As the background has been
removed a while ago, we can destroy the actor directly.

The mouse-wheel zooming "easter egg" breaks horribly when you
drag a window, due to ugly lightbox reparenting tricks it uses.
For now, just end any zoom before we drag the window around.

If a user is fast and mouses over a window while the workspace thumbnail
animations are playing, it can be frustrating when the close button won't
appear at the end of the animation.

Don't do an individual hover fixup for every window overlay, instead
just use the new global.sync_hover() to fix up hovers once we have
finished showing the overview.

We create a Workspace with a null metaWorkspace for each
non-primary monitor, showing the windows on these monitors.
These are saved in WorkspaceView.extraWorkspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
This means a bunch of windows will not be visible at all in the overview.
Those will be added back with per-screen workspaces on the non-primary
monitors.

Do a basic job of converting font sizes from pixels to points, so they
will scale will the global GNOME scale factor. Some other sizes that are
clearly related to the font sizes are changed to ems, but no comprehensive
attempt is made to get rid of px units.

If we're dragging a window around and we need to reposition the windows,
due to e.g. the sliding in of the thumbnails or some other reason, then we
need to consider the original position of the dragged window, rather than
the currend drag position. Otherwise we will unnecessarily rearrange the
other windows for instance on snap-back if you moved the dragged window
past some other window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643786
We currently show the workspace in the overview in a rectangle
with the same aspect ratio as the screen. Originally this was
probably done since it showed the desktop, but we don't do this
anymore, and the positioning of the windows in the overview is
strictly a grid, so its not in any way related to monitor geometry.
Additionally, in the multihead case the screen aspect ratio is
very different from the overview monitor geometry, so a lot of
space is lost.
So, instead we just fill the entire inner rectangle of the overview
with the workspace. However, the way the zoom into and out of the
workspace right now is by scaling the workspace so that it covers
the entire monitor. This cannot really work anymore when the workspace
is a different aspect ratio. Furthermore the coordinates of the
window clone actors are of two very different types in the "original
window" case and the "window in a slot case". One is screen relative,
the other is workspace relative. This makes it very hard to compute
the cost of window motion distance in computeWindowMotion.
In order to handle this we change the way workspace actor positioning
and scaling work. All workspace window clone actors are stored in
true screen coordingates, both the original window positions and the
in-a-slot ones. Global scaling of the workspace is never done, we
just reposition everything in both the initial zoom and when the
controls appear from the side.
There is one issue in the initial and final animations, which is that
the clip region we normally have for the workspacesView will limit the
animation of the clones to/from the original positions, so we disable
the clip region during these animations.

When we are dragging a window over its current workspace or workspace
thumbnail, we show show "no drop possible" feedback instead
of "move here" feedback.
