Now that the extension preference dialog is opened by a separate

We had various requests to improve existing OSK layouts, but
haven't accepted them so far as any changes would be overridden
when regenerating the layouts.
However as the upstream layouts at http://www.unicode.org are
extremely slow to update(*), we shouldn't block all improvements.
So instead of letting the update script override all existing
layouts, just make it import new layouts.
(*) not their fault, as the android layouts are a downstream to Google
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1136
The module was imported into the toplevel in !424, but that's at
least a bit weird:
- it's a helper script for one particular aspect (OSK layouts)
- it adds a README.mdwn to our own README.md, and a test/ directory
to our tests/
Move the whole thing to a subdirectory under data/, which is more
appropriate.

When mutter is acting as a display server it sets a number of
environment variables in the user's session. These variables
tell applications where the display server's sockets are.
When the shell exits at logout time it leaves these environment
variables in the systemd --user environment, which can confuse
subsequent sessions.
This commit clears up the environment on exit.

Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related

Since quite a few strings of dialogs provided by external programs are
not updated yet and the string freeze is already in effect, make sure we
don't break those dialogs by stripping aways large parts of the

and if it is, switch to a smaller font-size of 13pt. This makes sure we
still show about the same number of characters in the headline as we did
in previous releases.

Since the caps-lock warning adds a lot of spacing to dialogs and the

Many of the apps in the favorite apps list have fallen out of favor.
Replacing Rhythmbox with Music and Shotwell with Photos are obvious
moves. Rhythmbox and Shotwell are not core apps, and that means we
assume they are not installed by default. It doesn't really make sense
to have non-default apps in the apps list.
Evolution is also not a core app, and that is not likely to change, so
it should also be removed. Adding Geary might be more controversial. It
is a strong candidate to become a core app, GNOME Mail, in the near
future, but it is not there yet. So this could arguably be considered
premature. But I figure a GSettings
default is a cheap thing; we can always change it later if desired.
Calendar is added at the request of GNOME design team ("replacing" the
calendar functionality of Evolution).

Epiphany and Evolution updated their desktop IDs years ago. I assume the

If the GNOME shell crashes, we run a service that may disable
extensions. This is important so that users will not be locked out of
their own session in case an extension is causing crashes.
As this is a very agressive action, we tried to only do this in the
first two minutes of the session. Unfortunately, the logic was broken
and would result in an unclean session shutdown.
Fix this by using the newly introduced gnome-shell-disable-extensions
file. This is created by the extension subsystem for a period of time to
indicate the extensions may be the cause of a gnome-shell failure.
See

Since the notification message close button had no border, or mouse

The RenameFolderMenu uses the internal box as a menu item, while PopupMenu
expects to have PopupBaseMenuItem based children with a delegate set.
Instead of using a custom menu with a customized box acting as menu
item,just add a RenameFolderMenuItem that inherits from the parent,
adjusting the features as we need them. In fact, the rename folder menu item
doesn't need any label, padding or default styling so we can reuse
PopupMenuBaseItem after we use our styling properties and we set the
Ornament to HIDDEN.
To get the proper style in place, define rename-folder-popup and
rename-folder-popup-item to override the default popup-menu-item rule
padding instead of using margins.
Pass the menu item as menu's focusActor as this will key-focus it on pop-up,
by overriding the key_focus_in() vfunc we can then delegate the focus
handling to the entry's clutter-text.
Also override the map() vfunc in order to update the entry's content before
mapping the entry.
Finally, use the item's activate method in order to tell the parent menu
we're done with it and that the menu can be closed.
As consequence we can also remove the menu's popup() method, and just use
the default open().

Using the bus name to notify service startup to systemd has some
disadvantages. The main one being that systemd will consider a
gnome-shell restart (Alt+F2 r) a service failure and restart the shell,
cleaning up all its children (i.e. user launched applications). In the
future the shell should launch applications in their own transient unit
so that a service restart does not affect applications.
Another potential issue is that we must never load
gnome-shell-wayland.service and gnome-shell-x11.service at the same
time, as systemd does not like two services providing the same bus
name.

Clocks has exactly the same issue as Weather: Its integration currently

As gnome-shell is a required component for GNOME sessions, gnome-session
will currently always try to autostart it. However as we are moving towards
using systemd's user instance for session startup, gnome-session should only
be responsible for launching the shell when either not running under systemd
or when we were built without systemd support.
gnome-session can detect the former but not the latter, so communicate this
via the newly added X-GNOME-HiddenUnderSystemd key in the .desktop file.

Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's

The startup/busy indication in the app menu was left out of commit

Trying to disable an extension that is enabled by the session mode
currently has no effect, which is clearly confusing. We could update
the various extension UIs to reflect that via sensitivity, but being
unable to configure extensions based on which session the user picked
at login isn't obvious either.
So instead, add a 'disabled-extensions' gsettings key to list extensions
that should not be enabled which takes precedence over 'enabled-extensions'
and can be used to disable session mode extensions.

The existing 'ExtensionStatusChanged' signal has a fixed set of parameters,

Extensions are currently enabled or disabled by directly changing the
list in the 'enabled-extensions' GSettings key. As we will soon add
an overriding 'disabled-extensions' key as well, it makes sense to
offer explicit API for enabling/disabling to avoid duplicating the

For the corresponding D-Bus API, the methods were even mentioned in
the GSettings schema, albeit unimplemented until now.

While mutter supports a variety of different grid layouts (n columns/rows,

Unlike the app grid, we show the search results while the dash is hidden
and with a small scrollbar instead of page indicator dots. This
means there's nothing the search results might horizontally overlap
with and the padding here is unneccessary.
The spacing between the search results and the screen edges is still
sufficient because of the paddings applied to searchResultsContent.
On very small screens (< 1000px), this allows the search results to
utilize a lot more of the horizontal screen space.

This keyboard works similar to GTK+'s emoji chooser (actually, both pull
from the same JSON file). Emojis are categorized in sections and variants
and kept in a "model".
The EmojiPager actor then uses this model to generate pages on-the-fly as
the user swipes around. This is an important optimization since the amount
of actors would rival with the rest of the shell otherwise.
The EmojiSelection object puts the EmojiPager, the page indicators and
a KeyContainer with the bottom row of emoji section shortcuts together to
implement the emoji panel as a whole.
The Keyboard object hooked this to an "emoji" key, which is just visible
on the Clutter.InputContentPurpose where showing an emoji would be
meaningful. Otherwise the surrounding buttons are made a bit wider to
cover up for it (i.e. as it was before).
The OSK panel uses 1/3rd of the monitor height, plus we specify a minimum
size for the keys. This doesn't play along if contents won't fit (short
monitor, big fonts, ...) pushing contents offscreen. Reduce the minimum
size a bit so there's better chances to fit.

Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.
