Compiling the generated source for each consumer of the dependency
means we end up trying to register the enum types multiple times,
resulting in a fatal failure on startup. Luckily code outside libst
itself only depends on the header, which doesn't cause those issues.
st_built_sources contains the source and header generated by mkenums,
not any other generated sources. Clarify that in the name, as we are
about to use source and header separately.
Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.

We need to consider the scaling factor in effect when updating the user's
avatar, and also make sure to update it as well whenever the scaling
factor changes.

We cannot rely on any build order, except the one we specify ourselves.
St depends on various generated files; other targets depend on those
files existing, so they can be included. There is no direct relationship
between targets and files, unless we declare a dependency, using the
Meson declare_dependency() constructor — which allows us to replace the
various `link_with` directives with the more appropriate `dependencies`
one, and also allows us to specify sources that must exist by the time
we build those targets.
In parallel builds we may end up with st-enum-types.c being built inside
separate targets outside of src/st which may not have the ST_COMPILATION
pre-processor symbol defined. For this reason, we need to define it
ourselves in the source file, before including other headers, to avoid
the single-include guard.
This is not strictly necessary when linking the shell with DT_RPATH as
the runtime paths will be extracted from the introspected libraries and
used from gobject introspection to find them when loading them based on
the typelib files, but when linking with DT_RUNPATH, as it's the case
for some linkers (e.g. ld.gold, or ld.bfd in some distros like Debian).
By explicitly prepending this directory as a library path for GIR, we're
making sure that the wrapped shared objects installed in Mutter's and
GNOME Shell's private directories can be found in all cases.

The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.

Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
With the window titles no longer being shown as part of the previews
grid, we can reduce the spacing to have more space available to the
window previews themselves.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.

We currently expand the workspace switcher when workspaces are being
used, that is when there are any windows on a non-active workspace.
While this helps with the switcher's discoverability, it does eat into
the space available for window previews. By now the component should
be well established, so we can afford opting for space efficiency and
only expand the switcher while the user actually interacts with it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
The overview's window picker is primarily about windows, and as the
previews that represent them are more effective the bigger they are,
it makes sense to scale down competing elements; start by reducing
the size of workspace thumbnails on the right ...

Instead of potentially loading a background mid-way when it changes, and
loading it again for every file monitor event, leverage
CHANGES_DONE_HINT events, which allow us to ignore CREATED and CHANGED
signals from the file monitor.
