Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts
with window zooming in the picker.
As changing workspaces is far more useful than the zoom feature,
remove the latter in order to "free" the scroll wheel for workspace
switching.

Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the
thumbnail arrangement. It also made sense when the thumbnails were of a similar
size.
Nowadays we reflect the size of windows in the size of the thumbnail. This
leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.
Removing the grid alignment would also lead to larger thumbnails.

Making them not fully opaque just makes them harder to see and there is no reason why the user should care whether the window is minimized or not when
switching to a window display them like any other windows.

If WindowOverlay.relayout() is called without animation, we must stop
any preexisting animation, otherwise it will continue to run with the
previous parameters and cause the overlay to end up in the wrong position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693970
The one we had before could make unmaximized windows appear to be bigger
than maximized ones, for a few reasons. Ensure that this doesn't happen
again, and add some comments to explain the whys and needs for twiddling
the individual thumbnail size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686944
We clamp the overall layout's scale to WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE, but since
we do a bit of tweaking to try and make super small windows a tad larger, it's
theoretically possible that windows may become larger than the proper maximum
scale. Fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686944
Add an style class targetting workspaces located outside the overview,
and use it for extra padding around the window clones. Padding is passed
down and applied inside LayoutStrategy, consolidating code that previously
handled the bottom side only.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690171
The current code parses the button-layout setting because MetaButtonLayout
was not usable from introspection. With that fixed, we can switch to
using meta_prefs_get_button_layout().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689263
After the first time the title was placed, we were setting its width,
thus forcing get_preferred_width() to return that as the minimum and
natural width.
To workaround that, explicitly reset the width to -1, -1, causing
StLabel->get_preferred_width() to be called, which would give us a meaningful
value for minimum and natural width.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688234
WindowOverlay was at times seeing bogus values reported as WindowClone
sizes. Fix that by storing and passing the value from the authoritative
source, that is, the LayoutStrategy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688234
Since the introduction of overlay hover borders, there has a been
a timing disconnection between hiding the border and button, and
this creates noise and reduces the effect of the window+overlay
as a single unit.
Solve that by animating the close button too, so that the two actors
are shown and hidden always at the same time.
Also, consolidate the code to make it clear to future authors that
those two items need to stay coordinated.

Windows in the overview should be highlighted when hovered, to indicate
they are an active target.

When in the overview, if you move the mouse cursor over one of the
application launchers in the dash, all the unrelated windows are dimmed
both both in the window view and in the workspace view.
It helps to easily understand whether or not there are already opened
windows for this application, and where they are. It can also help in
differentiating the windows in the overview (sometimes the thumbnails
aren't precise enough to easily know which thumbnail belongs to which
application).

Reposition the window overlay when the title changes, using the current
transformed size of the window clone.
Includes a test that changes title to a string of random length every 3 seconds.

Change the layout strategy to be more like the mockups. With less than
two rows of windows, we try to fit every window in a non-aligned situation;
with more than three rows of windows, we try to fit every window in an
aligned situation.
Based heavily on a patch from Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer <pelloux@gmail.com>

Right now, when entering the overview, we compute the window slots about
four or five times, from scratch each time. Move to a queued system where
extraneous calls to positionWindows don't matter.

We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield
that is part of gnome-shell.
This patch fades out the screen on idle and shows a shield with a background
image when there is activity again. The shield can be removed with a key or
button press.

Clear the ClutterClickAction state before starting the drag,
otherwise it will eat the first button event after the drag,
preventing a new drag from being started.

If there's a single small window (e.g. empathy chat) in the overview, it
looks usable, because it's as big as outside of the overview, but when
you start to type, overview search is launched, which is confusing.
Fix that by setting maximum scale for window clones to 0.7
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646704
In overview when closing a window and afterwards dragging a window it can
happen that you pick a wrong window or no window if windows' positions is
updated while initiating the drag.
Fix that by delaying window rearrangement when cursor is over a window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645325
The window overlays may be shown erroneously if hideOverlays is
called while the corresponding clone has an uncompleted tween which
calls showOverlays in its onComplete handler, for instance when
quickly leaving the overview before the initial overview animation
has finished. To fix, remove all existing tweens when hiding the
overlays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666020
When in overview, window labels flicker or are temporarily hidden on a
number of occasions - when simply clicking around the area the windows
are displayed in, dragging a window, sliding in the workspace list,
adding new workspaces etc. This patch makes the label for any window
visible at any given moment when in overview and the said window is
not being dragged around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644861
WorkspacesDisplay was introduced to manage the workspace objects
and views; however, the overview still accesses the view held
by the workspacesDisplay directly, which is a bit odd.
Add some additional methods needed by the overview, and make the
view a private property.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

Right-click menus in the dash can be dismissed by clicking anywhere
outside the menu. However, if a window clone is located beneath the
pointer when doing so, the window is activated and the overview
closed.
The cause of this unexpected behavior is that window previews are
activated on button-release, which is delivered to the preview after
the menu releases its grab on button-press. Use a ClutterClickAction
instead and let Clutter do the right thing, i.e. only trigger a
'clicked' signal when a button-release event is matched by a
corresponding button-press event.

Commit e5bc3a2ba8 changed the hierarchy of WindowClone, which
broke activating windows on hover during xdnd operations. To
avoid intrusive changes, just hide the new actor from picks so
that DND operations pick the actor actually meant to represent
the corresponding window.

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.
