Commit 5a8923ef95 removed support for legacy status icons from
the notification system, as we no longer want them to appear as
notifications. As we are unfortunately not quite at a point where
we can remove all support for them for good, so we now need an
alternative place to put them. Add a small dedicated tray at the
bottom which appears when any legacy status icons are active. By
default it is almost completely hidden to not interfere with the
user's windows, but can be expanded on demand to interact with
the icons.

polari is the GNOME app for IRC, empathy is for everything else
So prefer polari to empathy for IRC channels. We don't need
to check that either exists (even though polari is not a core
app) because mission control tries every handler if the preferred
one fails.
Depends on bug 745418 for polari to be mission control activatable.

Make sure the message list section is set to the current date
when opening the menu, otherwise the calendar might skip
the selected-date-changed event (because the day did not change)
which would leave the message list with an uninitialized date.

Turns out this makes interaction with the OSK or candidate popups
using a mouse basically impossible since they get dismissed when the
key focus is captured by a window in the overview.
This reverts commit aeb9f5775f.

Messages can be dismissed using a pointer device by clicking the
close button, there's no reason to not make the same action
available via keyboard as well. Delete looks like an obvious
choice ...

The overview has a longer life-time than dash items, so we are
leaking a signal connection each time an item is destroyed.

As it is impossible to interact with notification banners while a DND
operation is ongoing, we can temporarily hide the banner container from
picks so that DND works as expected even while a banner is showing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744912
Since commit e189a34, the trayBox uses a Contraint to cover the primary
monitor's work area. This allows banners to be clipped so they don't
leak into monitors above the primary one during animations. However even
without being reactive, the trayBox now interferes with operations like
Looking Glass' object picker and overview DND.
With the trayBox no longer being positioned manually, there's no strong
reason to keep it in LayoutManager, and handling it in MessageTray allows
to hide the actor while no banner is showing, which helps with the issue
outlined above.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744912
The actor is supposed to be hidden while no notification banner
is displayed, and in addition to that when banners are temporarily
blocked (because the calendar is open). However the current code
always shows the actor when banners are not blocked, fix that.

The screen should be woken up when a new notification is shown on
the lock screen, but not when a notification arrives while disabled.
Add a missing condition to fix.

The mode is never set after the removal of the bottom tray, so it
no longer makes sense to pass it to allowKeybinding(). We can also
safely remove it from the ActionModes flags altogether without
requiring a synchronized update with gnome-settings-daemon, as
the latter never used any flag value above LOGIN_SCREEN.
When it comes to keybindings or gestures, there's not really a good
reason why popups associated with the top bar should behave differently
from any other shell menus. Just set the action mode generically for
all menus, so actions like screenshots or media-keys start working
with menus like the background- or app launcher context menus.

We reuse the old body text on useMarkup changes and for expanded
labels. However just taking it from the label actor does not work
when markup is used, as once applied it will be stripped from
ClutterText:text.
So to preserve markup, keep our own copy of the original string
around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744907
Markup in notification titles is not support (and never has been).
Therefore the text is run through g_markup_escape_text(), and as
a result we do have to use markup internally to correctly show
legal-but-escape characters like '&' or '"'.

The message indicator conveys that the message list contains unseen
messages that will not be shown as banner. So its visibility depends
on two factors: the number of unseen messages, and the number of
messages waiting in the queue to be shown as banner. As we currently
only update the visibility on changes to the former, the indicator is
not always accurate - for instance sources notify count changes before
passing on a notification to the message tray for display.
To fix, add a signal to the message tray to notify when the queue
changes and use it to update the indicator's visibility.

Chat notifications are king of custom, so we'll leave them out for now
and keep using the old banner. However we can port the subscription
notification.
Hotplug notifications use custom notification banners to include
application icons in buttons. Bring those back by providing an
appropriate createBanner() implementation.
While we want to encourage the use of regular notification banners,
some of our built-in stuff does require more or less customized content
("more" being chat notifications, a.k.a. king of custom).
Account for this use case by delegating banner creation to a method,
so either Notification or Source subclasses can overwrite it.
Nothing except for the chat notification is really custom, so stop
specifying the flag for anything else - it will soon become a bit
harder to create non-standard notifications, so don't do it for no
good reason (discouraging this is of course the reason for making it
harder in the first place) ...
Instead of using the notification's own actor as a banner (and
keeping it around after the banner was displayed to not dismiss
the notification itself), create a separate banner actor from
the information the notification provides, just like we do for
lock screen and message list notifications.
This change breaks notifications with custom content, but only
temporarily - we will soon provide a hook to allow customizations
again.
We no longer have a single notification actor that is either displayed
as banner or reparented to the summary depending on state - both the
lock screen and the notification section of the message list create
their own UI based on the information attached to the notification
object. Adding to this that different representations of a notification
may now exist simultaneously (as they are included in the message list
immediately rather than after the banner has been displayed), it no
longer makes sense to keep the banner actor in the notification itself.
Add a new NotificationBanner class that provides a separate banner
implementation based on the message list's NotificationMessage that will
soon replace the existing notification banners.
Both the screen shield and the notification section in the message
list create their own UI for notifications rather than using the
notification actor itself. Currently there is no clean way for such
representations to include notification actions - we will need this
as we will soon use a separate actor for banners as well, so keep
track of actions added via addAction().
Notifications in the message list cannot be expanded, however we will
soon use NotificationMessage to re-implement notification banners, where
we still want actions and expanded content.
While this functionality logically belongs to the future banner subclass,
it is cleaner and easier to have the basic support in the base class.
This also leaves the door open for expanded notifications in the summary,
should that become a thing again.
The panel is not visible when in fullscreen, but critical notifications
may still be shown - having them pop out from where the panel would be
looks unpolished, so adjust the trayBox accordingly.

It was removed as actors that should not affect the input
region can simply be added to the uiGroup instead. However
the property is useful to add non-reactive chrome, but then
use trackChrome() to add a child to the input region.

Occasionally it makes sense to constrain to a monitor's work-area
rather than the entire monitor, so implement that behavior and add
a property to turn it on.

St's hover tracking uses ClutterInputDevice, which unfortunately may use
an outdated cursor position to determine which actor is hovered. Using
MetaCursorTracker instead would fix this, but would require linking St with
libmutter - avoid this for now by manually fixing up Clutter's view of
the pointer position in the case where we rely on it working properly.

While applications can no longer spam the users with a constant stream
of banner notifications, it is still possible to drown the summary in
the message list. Avoid this by limiting the number of notifications a
single source is allowed to display simultaniously.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
We want to shield users from being overloaded by an overwhelming stream
of notification banners, either due to coming back from idle/lock or
because an application is misbehaving. Previously we replaced all queued
notifications with a summary notification in that case, but now that
notifications appear in the summary immediately, we can simply stop
adding them to the queue and rely on the date menu to convey that
information to the user.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The summary may contain notifications that have not been seen by the user
and won't be shown as banner. Currently this is only the case for resident
notifications that are emitted by the focused app, but it will become more
common as we will start limiting the number of queued notifications.
Indicate to the user that more notifications are available by displaying a
small dot in the top bar button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Source::count-updated is emitted as notifications are added or removed,
which is correct for the primary notification count. However it is not
for the unseen count, which will also change when a notification is
acknowledged without being removed. At the moment this does not matter,
as the unseen count is only used on the screen shield and notifications
are never acknowledged while the screen is locked. However we will soon
use the unseen count in the normal session as well, so emit the signal
in this case too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The message tray is now empty and about to be removed, so an indication
at the bottom edge of the overview becomes an odd location to convey the
status of the summary. We will eventually display an indication in the
top bar that unseen messages are available, for now just remove the
existing indicator.

Using a "There are too many notifications" notification is a bit odd,
and we will address the issue differently soon. So rather than update
the notification to do something else than opening the mostly empty and
useless tray when clicked, remove it altogether.

No Source subclass used it to do anything special, and with sources
no longer having any UI representation on their own, doing anything
else isn't useful either, so just kill off that hook.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
It was a nice feature, but with sources no longer being represented in
the UI, there is no longer a way for users to make use of it. If we want
to bring the feature back in the future, it would probably make more
sense to implement via the chat source's policy anyway.
