The dependency chain spirals out from folks->zeitgeist->xapian...and
I'm really not interested in pulling in all of that into the core
shell.
There is work on splitting out contact search into gnome-contacts; I'd
add a bug link but Bugzilla is down.
Depending on the exact linker options and versions, rpath's written
into the binary may, or may not, be honored by dlopen(). Work around
this by simply linking the gnome-shell binary to gnome-shell-js, since
then dlopen() doesn't need to search paths.

This allows us running uninstalled. While we're at it, though, remove
JHBUILD_TYPELIBDIR. jhbuild shell should add its own stuff to GI_TYPELIB_PATH,
and we don't want to half reimplement jhbuild. The wrapper script should be
solely for the case of running from the source directory, and not care about
jhbuild at all.
Introduce a new gnome-shell-perf-tool, which can be used instead
of the old gnome-shell-jhbuild wrapper to gather data about gnome-shell
performance and submit to shell-perf.gnome.org. This runs the
shell with no extra setup beyond the WM_CLASS filter, so it can
be used for a jhbuild setup or for an installed shell.
If the user was inactive while a notification was shown, we show the summary
when the user becomes active again. This ensures that we inform the user of
the existance of new notifications that the user might have missed.
When the user comes back from away, the summary is now only shown if it has
new notifications.

ConsoleKit is being obsoleted by systemd. Accordingly port the CK logic
in the gnome-shell automount manager to systemd-logind APIs.
This makes use of systemd-logind's native C APIs which are much easier
to use than the D-Bus APIs in this case, and much faster too (since they
are synchronous and directly query the kernel for the information we
need). The dependency is compile time optional, and in order to be nice
to the Debian folks g-s compiled with this enabled fill automatically
fall back to CK support on systems lacking systemd.
A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.

For the Intel drivers, using glReadPixels() to read into client-memory
directly from the frame buffer is much slower than creating a pixel
buffer, copying into that, and then mapping that for reading. On other
drivers, the two approaches are likely to be similar in speed. Create
a ShellScreenGrabber abstraction that uses pixel buffers if available.
Use that for screenshots and screen recording.

GDBusActionGroup api has changed again, adapt to that.
Also, use a GActionMuxer to add the 'app.' prefix to actions,

In the future, the muxer will also contain per-window actions
with a 'win.' prefix.
It was always taking the first .service.in file to create all .service

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

A network agent is a component that stores network secrets (like

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.

Ideally, this would be an entirely-JS implementation, but we have a

The sniffer is a simple helper process, activated as a DBus service,
that tries to crawl as many files as possible in the provided target
directory (i.e. the new mount's root), for a maximum amount of time -
which is set here to 1.5 seconds (i.e. it will crawl either all the
files in the directory tree, or as many as it can before the specified
timeout expires).
Crawled files are ordered by their content type, and a generic estimation
of the type of files composing the directory is returned to the caller,
using generic 'x-content/*' mimetypes.
The process will then set an autoquit timeout on itself, which can be
disabled by setting the env variable HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_PERSIST for
debugging purposes. The HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_DEBUG env variable can also be
set to enable debugging output.

jhbuild will default to srcdir != builddir in the future for various
reasons.
The enum generation rules were just broken and both did
cd $(srcdir) and $(addprefix $(srcdir)).
Also, remove an unnecessary $(addprefix) from the GIR sources; thanks
to Dan Winship for pointing out that make will look in both srcdir and
builddir, so it's not necessary to add a prefix explicitly. Doing so
breaks obviously when adding the sourcedir to a builddir file.

The tests were broken again, because since Shell-0.1.gir now has
'shared-library="libgnome-shell.so"', the references to Shell.PerfLog

When jhbuilding, we use a jhbuilt gobject-introspection, so the

Instead of defining rules manually, use the included make support,

The current gnome-shell.in script has a huge amount of

Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.

A PolicyKit Authentication Agent is a construct used to authenticate
one or more identities. See the PolicyKit documentation for more
details on authentication agents and how PolicyKit works:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/
Since gjs does not support subclassing a GObject class from Javascript
code, we bring in a native class to bridge the VFuncs to GObject
signals. Additionally, this native class also queues up authentication
requests so the user of the native class only has to deal with a
single outstanding request at any one time.
The file js/ui/polkitAuthenticationAgent.js introduces a singleton
that listens for authentication requests via the native class. This
singleton uses the PolkitAgent machinery to do the actual heavy-weight
lifting required for authentication (essentially a PAM conversation).
We currently don't allow the user to pick the identity to be
authenticated.

We were going to great effort to include the normal directories in the

jsdir and jsnativedir were moved to gjs-internals-1.0.pc. However, it
was actually unnecessary since the standard directories are appended
to the default path.

for the Shell to enable the somewhat unlikely case where someone wants
to invoke the shell specifying a GJS_PATH.)

ST makes use of GTK+ for input methods and for icon themes; therefore
we have need to initialize GTK+ in order to test these parts of Clutter.
Instead of LD_PRELOADING our module, use a separately compiled executable
that links to the UI components in GNOME Shell, initializes Clutter and
GTK+ and hooks them together.
Getting all the symbols from St and the GUI components exported for
use via GJS requires a bit of contortion: we need to actually link the
St convenience library into a shared library and link the executable
to that since there is no way with libtool to take a convenience library
and put all its symbols into an executable --whole-archive style.

The actor emitted by ShellTrayManager is now ShellTrayIcon, a subclass
of ShellGtkEmbed which has several properties on it which are (or will
soon be) useful to the shell.
Part of the rearranging to use ShellTrayIcon means that we now show
the ShellEmbeddedWindow before creating its ShellGtkEmbed, which
requires a few modifications to ShellEmbeddedWindow (notably, telling
it at construct time what stage it will be drawn on, since it needs to
know that before it has a ShellGtkEmbed now).

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

First, we were passing an incorrect timestamp to
meta_display_focus_the_no_focus_window - fix that.
The invocation of set_focus_app to the started app there couldn't
really work, because (if the above call had worked) we'd get the
X reply *after* the started app.
What we need to untangle here is the distinction that's now made in
ShellApp between _STATE_STARTING and _STATE_RUNNING. A nice way to
start doing this is to rebase ShellWindowTracker to only be concerned
with app states. Concretely, the current "has windows implies
running" logic now lives just inside shell-app.c.
Rename the app-running-changed signal to be app-state-changed. This
will ultimately be useful so that inside the panel, we can track
the last started app.
