Our intended behavior when bluetooth is turned off is to keep
the menu visible if devices had been set up previously.
However since gnome-bluetooth@c437c729, devices are removed
first before removing the default adapter, so we now end up
always setting the property to false before checking for it.
Fix this by deferring all model changes to an idle, so that
we can process them as a unit. Do the same for proxy property
changes, as those may trigger a row-removal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1174
Since commit 26c2cb9f65, nDevices is always the actual number of
paired/trusted devices. So when bluetooth is turned off, it is
now 0 rather than forced to 1 if devices were set up previously.
Fix this by checking the property that tracks set up devices instead.

Pretty much the same case of the previous commit: we want this size
to be scale-dependant, and using the width and height properties of
ClutterActor doesn't automatically update.
Use CSS to set the width and height.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1176
The return value of st_theme_node_lookup_length() is scaled according
to the scale factor. IconGrid.ICON_SIZE is not. However, when BaseIcon
tries to fetch the CSS value for "icon-size" (which returns a scaled
value), it uses it as-is, mixing the two coordinate systems.
Use a single coordinate system (unscaled sizes) in IconGrid.BaseIcon.

Usually the screen is woken up before the shield is deactivated, but
it is also possible to unlock the session programmatically via the
org.gnome.ScreenSaver D-Bus API.
The intention is very likely not to unlock a turned off screen in
that case. Nor does it seem like a good idea to change the lock
state without any indication.
Waking up the screen is more likely to meet expectations and is
more reasonable too, so do that.

Extension that want to expose their own preferences (for example as menu
items) do that by passing their UUID to gnome-shell-extension-prefs.
But since 3.36.1 the app is optional and no longer accepts arguments on
the command line. To adjust, extensions now need to make a D-Bus call
the extensions portal, just like the app and gnome-shell.
We will add a convenience method for that purpose, so it makes
sense to share the existing code. As it's extension-related, the
extension manager looks like the right place ...

A promisified method expects the callback parameter to be either
a function (in which case the original method is called normally)
or omitted altogether (in which case a Promise is returned).
The call to open application details in Software does neither and
passes null instead, which will result in a warning (because no
function argument means a promise will be used, but not omitting
the parameter means we end up with too many arguments).

During the shell initialization we call the (deprecated) function to
override the Desktop environment in Gio DesktopAppInfo to make sure that
applications are correctly shown (as per commit b2fbf5a2), however this
might break the cases in which $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is already set and
contains GNOME (given that is now a list).
In Ubuntu this is in fact set to: ubuntu:GNOME.
Now, if an application contains NotShowIn=ubuntu, the key will be ignored by
the shell, and the application is still listed everywhere.
So, override the DesktopAppInfo desktop environment only in the case that
the current desktop is not already GNOME.
At the current date I think we could just safely get rid of this override at
all, but there could be still cases where it still might be useful, like when
running as nested in some other environment, so keeping it.

In some situations we could end up not with lingering 'view-loaded'

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Starting the animation from the actor 'paint' signal has various
unwanted consequences, such as sometimes trigger a
clutter_actor_queue_relayout() during the paint phase. One unwanted
consequence was that an offscreen actor effect was disabled during
painting, meaning the effect would begin being active, but later during
the post-paint processing being disabled. The caused said effect to push
an offscreen framebuffer to the paint context, but then just destroy it
instead of popping it. When this happened, we'd end up trying to operate
on a framebuffer that may had been finalized, or not, depending on the
garbage collector. Sometimes, for some users, this caused a segmentation
fault when trying to pop a matrix from the framebuffer matrix stack.
Deal with this more properly, by using the 'view-loaded' signal to wait
with animation until the view is loaded, as well as using MetaLater to
schedule the start of the animation.
For when a view was signalled to be ready, we're in a state where we can
start animation before the next frame as the layout is ready, but when
not, we have to add back the "hack" where we must wait for one frame for
the target icon positions to be up to date. Do this by adding a
MetaLater IDLE callback that starts the animation *after* the next
frame. This also needs the old 'opacity = 0' work around to not show an
incorrect first frame.

It seems there is a weird race condition between Clutter trying to
destroy the keyboard actor and Clutter trying to hide the keyboardBox
container actor: If the keyboardBox is hidden before destroying the
keyboard actor, Clutter doesn't repaint anything and the keyboard
remains visible until something else draws over it.
To fix this issue until we find the underlying Clutter bug, simply
destroy the keyboard actor before hiding the keyboardBox. The order in
which we call these doesn't matter anyway since hideKeyboard(true) hides
the keyboard immediately without an animation.

We're dealing with attached keyboards now using the touch_mode property
of ClutterSeat: If a device has a keyboard attached, the touch-mode is
FALSE and we won't automatically show the OSK on touches, also the
touch-mode gets set to FALSE when an external keyboard is being plugged
in, so that also hides the OSK automatically.
With that, we can now ignore keyboard devices when updating the last
used device and no longer have to special-case our own virtual devices.
Because there was no special-case for the virtual device we use on
Wayland now, this fixes a bug where the keyboard disappeared after
touching keys like Enter or Backspace.

The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.
This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1133
We include config.js because it is a dependency of ExtensionUtils,
but it's not actually used in the code paths we exercise.
As we want to allow stand-alone builds of the app, it is much easier to
fake the module than to either include a generated file from elsewhere
in the tree or generate it ourselves.

Instead of adding a dragMonitor for every icon in the grid as soon as
one icon is getting dragged, only add a dragMonitor for the icon that is
currently being dragged over (ie. the current drag-target). With a large
number of icons in the iconGrid, this should significantly reduce lags
while dragging.
We can do this by detecting the DnD-entering of an icon or folder using
the `handleDragOver()` callback of drag-targets, adding the dragMonitor
because we know an icon is hovering above the drag-target and then
detecting the DnD-leaving of the drag-target by using the `dragMotion()`
handler, where we remove the dragMonitor again as soon as the
targetActor is no longer our actor (ie. the drag-target).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/849
While it should be impossible to destroy a FolderIcon while a DnD action
is still going on, there might still be rare cases where this happens
(ie. when a folder is removed because an app got deleted during DnD).
So make sure we're on the safe side here and don't potentially leave
dragMonitors around after the icon is destroyed by removing the
dragMonitor inside the onDestroy handler of the FolderIcon, just like we
do for AppIcons.

Forward the arguments at the 'delete-surrounding-text' signal
from IBusInputContext to clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding()
so that ibus-typing-booster use the deleting surrounding text function.
Input method engines can delete the output text in applications

This change will require a change of mutter of mutter!517
because the first arguemnt of the 'delete-surrounding-text' is INT
to express the offset of the current cursor position but
the first one of clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() is UINT
since the Wayland spec accepts UINT in delete_surrounding()
mutter will change the type of the first one to INT in
clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() to work with this change.

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an
extension that has been blacklisted makes sense off-hand, unfortunately
we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any
time soon[0], so drop the 'blacklist' handling for the time being.

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.
The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:
- filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
to files)
- system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)
- extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
gnome-shell's dependencies
- if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs
And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).
This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:
- it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows
- it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
in the same namespace as the extension itself
That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
We are jumping through quite some hoops to support showing only the
preference dialog when given a UUID on the command line.
As gnome-shell is about to stop calling out to us for the prefs dialog,
the reason for supporting this is going away, so remove all the special
handling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
The dialog that contains the extension's preference widget has become
fairly complex over time, mostly due to the error handling.

On X11, _onFocusChanged() updates the input region, as well as the
reactive-ness of the dialog's buttons.
That method is not only used as signal handlers (which are correctly
disconnected when the dialog is hidden), it also runs when the "show"
transition completes.
That's a problem if the transition is still ongoing when the dialog is
hidden, as it will then only complete when it is replaced by the "hide"
transition, after the this._dialog has been reset to null, and trying
to access the dialog's buttons results in an error.
Avoid this by explicitly removing all transition on hide before
resetting the dialog.

Commit c1ec7b2ff meant to fall back to the base layout in case

We only show the list of system- and user extensions if corresponding
extensions are installed, however we only update the visibility

Using the "regular" loadInterfaceXML() helper means less code duplication,
but it also ties us to the resource used by gnome-shell.
In order to untangle the extension app from core gnome-shell, change that

does involve reimplementing loadInterfaceXML(), it's not too bad actually
with the resource-loading code stripped (as the data resource is already

We want to make the extensions app code more self-contained to make it

- src for the launcher process
- data for .desktop file and icons
Switching from a C launcher to the imports.package module allows us to
consolidate the first two, and will also take care of the annoying

Extension updates are installed at startup, so any errors that bubble

libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,

We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache

There are two ways for applications to provide a high contrast icon:
1. install an icon into the HighContrast theme
2. install a symbolic icon into the default hicolor theme
The latter is preferred nowadays, and implemented in the high-contrast
CSS variant by enforcing the symbolic icon style.
However together with the way we currently enable/disable high-contrast,
this can lead to the following race:
1. the GTK theme is changed from HighContrast
2. we reload the default stylesheet
3. the icon style changes to "regular", so we request a
new icon from the HighContrast icon theme
4. the icon theme is changed from HighContrast
5. we evict existing icons from the cache
6. we reload icons for the new icon theme; however as we
find a pending request (from 3), we re-use it
7. the request from 3 finishes, and we end up with a
wrong icon in the cache
The simplest fix is to change the icon theme before the GTK theme: Unlike the
theme name, the icon style is encoded in the cache key, so we won't re-use
an old (and incorrect) request in that case.

When launching the default calendar application, we special-case

At least for the time being, this looks like the easiest option to

making it necessary for gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions and
gnome-session to be updated to 3.36.1 in lockstep
- autostart is problematic as it would make gnome-shell conflict
with other notification daemons; also autostart is most useful
with automatic shutdown, which would require tracking signal

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

These paths are meant for Xwayland, not for X11 compositors being restarted
through alt-f2 + r. Maybe some signal analogous to init-xserver should be
added for Xwayland shutdown paths, but this signal we are currently
listening for is backend agnostic.
