Users currently can't switch VTs while at the login screen.
This commit fixes that, by adding the relevant keybindings
to the login screen's allowed keybindings list.

The code described by the comment was moved away in commit eda27d51,
so it is not misleading at best. It wasn't too useful to begin with,
so kill it off rather than moving it to the correct place ...
When using dynamic workspaces, a new workspace will be appended
when moving a window down to the last (empty) workspace. It makes
sense to extend the behavior in the opposite direction, and prepend
a new workspace when moving a window up from the first workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
New workspaces are inserted by shifting all windows on workspaces
below the insertion position down. As a result, when the new
workspace is inserted before the active one, we end up with
the illusion of a workspace switch. Instead, activate the workspace
on which the windows from the active one ended up.

We are not supposed to mess around with OR windows, so don't try
to shift them to a different workspace. This fixes a warning with
newer versions of mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
We will soon allow to insert a new workspace by other means than
DND in between workspace thumbnails, so move the relevant code
to a new windowManager method.

So that we'll recreate it the next time we want to show it. Otherwise,
we'll try to call things on a half-destroyed ResizePopup and end up
causing errors instead of showing the user their resize popup.
When animating workspace switches, windows on the old and new workspaces
are temporarily reparented. If windows are restacked, those windows will
thus be ignored by mutter until meta_switch_workspace_completed() resyncs
the stacking at the end of the animation.
As a result, activating a window on another workspace that is not on top
of the stack is very noticeably a two-step operation of switching workspace
and raising the window. There is a technical reason for that order[0], but
we can avoid the visible disruption by manually syncing the stack during
the switch operation.

Just like keybindings and the message tray pointer barrier, gestures
don't always make sense - for instance, swiping up the screen shield
should not trigger the message tray just as the SelectArea action around
the left edge should not open the overview.
To avoid this, restrict gestures based on the current keybinding mode.

Now that mutter gives a way to check if a MetaKeyBinding was marked as
'reversed' or not, gnome-shell does not have to hardcode that a
MetaKeyBinding using a shift modifier is reversed, it can directly check
if the appropriate flag is set.

The animation is the same for modal dialogs, but it is now
run for non modal dialogs too (matching the new behavior on
show).
In addition, we run a destroy animation for normal windows,
if they use CSD (there are technical limitations that prevent
running animations after destroy on server decorated windows)

Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.

Having the full geometry of the menu's source button (if any) will
allow us to address several misbehaviors of window menus, so use
that instead of show_menu().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731058
We now allow "appmenu" in the button layout to make synchronizing it
with GTK+'s client-side decorations easier, but as some people tweak
their settings to get in-window app menus even when using the shell,
actually pop up the app menu when the button is activated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730752
With tile previews being implemented as Clutter actors in the shell, we
can now easily add fancy animations when showing/hiding the preview.
Besides looking more polished, the animations also help understanding
what will happen to the window when the drag is finished.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665758
Currently workspaces (except for the last one) are removed when
they become empty. While we do have special treatment for the
case where the currently active workspace is removed, we just
move directly without animations to the last workspace to avoid
ending up on a "random" workspace. However this behavior is still
a bit confusing, so keep the workspace around instead until the
user decides to move to another one.

Windows in the overview should be like they appear in the workspace,
including modal dialogs that are attached above them.
In addition, hiding the dialogs in the overview causes a flash as
dialog appears at the end of the transition.
Based on a patch by Maxim Ermilov <zaspire@rambler.ru>

Activating the overview is fairly easy (hot corner, <super>), so doing it
automatically after closing the last window on a workspace does not save
a lot of effort; it does result in a surprising context switch when the
user does not expect the behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662581
Unfortunately, display configuration can and does fail, due
to unspecified HW constraints, drivers bugs, unsupported exotic
configurations or just bad luck.
So when the user makes a change in the control center, show
a dialog asking him if it looks OK, and revert back after 20 seconds
otherwise.

We've long had the hasWorkspaces property, but it doesn't seem like
it was ever used. Implement it so that we don't have workspaces in
initial-setup mode.
Since it's difficult to make it change at runtime with a decent set
of semantics, and we never expect that to happen, don't bother
implementing it dynamically.
