The dash object is currently exposed as a public object.
It's only used outside of the overview for the dash object's
iconSize property though.
This commit makes the dash object private and proxies the dash
iconSize property to the overview.

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.

This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.

The specs call for a 2 pixel gap between the panel and its menus,
though we need to specify this as 4 pixels, since it's relative to the
bottom of the icon/title, not the bottom of the panel (up until now,
the point of the menu arrow was actually overlapping the menu's
highlight underline).
Also, move the gap specification into the CSS, since it makes more
sense there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655627
Theme authors now have the power (and responsibility) of creating fade
effects with the new CSS length property '-st-fade-offset'. A value of
0 disables the effect.
This new CSS approach replaces the current programmatic toggle of
the 'vfade' property. A new CSS style class name 'vfade' is used as
a replacement for the old property.

A "cosmetic" code arrangement I requested in code review resulted
in one too few items being removed from the queue for each incremental
chunk of icons added. Fix.

ViewByCategories._removeAll clears the sections, but the filter passed
to view still expects them to exists. Therefore, refresh the view
after the section has been rebuilt and the All filter reapplied.

While we have menu for an app icon open, we want to show the prelight
for the item instead of removing the prelight when the user mouses
away from the item and into the menu, and if there's a tooltip
(like for the dash), we want to show the tooltip immediately when
the menu is popped up.

When right-clicking on an AppWellIcon, the icon will become focused,
which (presumably via style-changed) invalidates its current
allocation, causing "icon.y" to return 0 until it has been
reallocated, messing up our idea of where in the AppDisplay the icon
is. Work around this by calling get_allocation_box() instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645162
Add Ctrl-Alt-Tab support to ViewTab, and fix the Applications pane to
scroll to track the keyboard focus.
The Windows pane can be switched to, but navigation within the pane is
not yet implemented.

Search results' meta info currently is expected to have an 'icon'
property holding a Clutter.Texture of a fixed icon size. This
property is used to implement the createIcon() function of BaseIcon,
which is used to actually display the result, ignoring the size
parameter due to the fixed icon size.
Given that all available search providers create this property for
the desired icon size using a function with the same signature, it
appears logical to replace the fixed-sized 'icon' property with
such a function, so that the icon size will be defined by the display
actor rather than the search system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643632
Currently section headers in the search view are reactive and run
the corresponding provider's expandSearch() function when clicked,
which should launch an external program displaying all search
results for the section. Unfortunately it is only implemented for
the "Settings" provider, and does not work properly (as it ignores
the search and just launches System Settings).
Also current mockups deemphasize the section header, making the
feature pretty much indiscoverable (except by accident when
interfering with swipe-scrolling).
In conclusion, the feature does not make much sense in its current
form, so remove it.

As gnome-shell now switched to use the menu file from gnome-menus,
we no longer have direct control over category names. If such a name
contains unescaped markup, the shell will crash when trying to create
the filter label, so make sure to escape markup in category names.
As the dash is one of the primary drop targets for dragging application
launchers, it's reasonable to use the dash icon size for app icons'
drag actors, especially with the larger size now used in the application
view.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639428
The view might get mapped before the filters have been added, so
trying to reset to the "All" filter will throw an exception. Fix
by only do the reset if the filters have been initialized.
When switching to the app view, it is unlikely that a user is
going to select an application from the same filter list as the
last time the view was used, so reset the view to the "All" filter
on switch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641987
When switching to the application view, the view is still scrolled
to the position it had when left previously. Given that it is rather
unlikely that the application the user wants to select is located close
to that position, it appears beneficial to start at a predictable
position, so make sure that the scroll position is always reset to
the top.

With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
With automatic workspace management, explicit controls to add and
remove workspaces are no longer necessary. We also can remove the
use of addWorkspace for middle-button-click on a launcher since
launching on the last empty workspace will do the right thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
When checking the type of a DND source, instead of checking
'instanceof Workspaces.WindowClone' accept any actor with realWindow
and metaWindow properties. This will be useful to support a separate
type of actor dragged from workspace thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
For historical reasons, we had both StClickable and StButton, which
were nearly identical. StButton was more widely-used, so keep that and
port all StClickable users to that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640583
With general support for swipe-scrolling in the overview, there is
no reason to limit the behavior to workspaces. It is equally useful
for scrolling through the grid of available applications, so enable
swipe-scrolling for the app view.

AppWellIcon is used both in the dash and view selector. As the dash
requires manual sizing, it is not possible to set the icon size used
in the view selector in the CSS, but icons will use the default size
(unless set manually as in the dash).
Expose the params parameter of BaseIcon and enable manual resizing
only for AppWellIcons in the dash.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639428
The popup menus of application icons in both the dash and the app view
are positioned on the right of the icon. In the case of the dash this
results in the menu being displayed off-screen in RTL locales, so move it
to the opposite side instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635645
Current mockups display all search results as icons as used by
application results, so change the default result display to use
iconGrid/BaseIcon. Remove the custom application results display,
as it is no longer needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Being no longer an independent menu pane, both the toggle() and
close() functions are no longer needed, and the view's structure
can be simplified a bit.
Also update the style to fit into the view selector.
