Screen magnification is the compositor's business, not that of "random"
unprivileged tools. And for cases where a more specialised behavior is
wanted, an extension likely does a better job than a consumer of the
D-Bus API.
In addition to that, exporting the interface has been broken for an
unknown time, because the object that holds the implementation isn't
referenced and thus ends up being garbage collected, whoops.
And last but not least, this gets rid of the last public D-Bus name
that isn't clearly in the system namespace (org.gnome.Shell,
org.gnome.Mutter, org.gtk).

Move the GNOME shell service file adapation for x11/wayland into the
target/service files. This means that the session definition can simply
pull in org.gnome.Shell.target, without having to care about whether it
is starting an X11 or wayland session.
Note that this currently requires fork'ing to do the test. This will
however not be needed in the long term when ConditionEnvironment becomes
available (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15817).
We technically do not need to use template units. But doing so means
that the unit can be translated to the app id more easily (though it is
not yet completely clear how this should look like in the long term).

In general we want to move towards using reverse domain names for
systemd units. Doing this also means we have a consistent name between
desktop file and systemd unit, allowing us to create a generator that
pulls in the unit as defined in the sessions RequiredComponents.

Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.

This is the key that will be used to store the pages and the icons in
each page. The idea is that we we store an a{sv} variant for each page.
This variant will contain <icon id> → array of properties, where we
can store arbitrary data for each icon. The expected output of this
key is:
[
{
'polari.desktop': <{ 'position': 0 }>,
'epiphany.deskop': <{ 'position': 1 }>,
},
{
'telegram.desktop': <{ 'position': 2 }>,
'builder.desktop': <{ 'position': 0 }>,
'gitg.desktop': <{ 'position': 1 }>,
}
]
The toplevel array is sorted, and pages of the grid always show in the
order they are stored.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1284
While GtkIconTheme does look up icons in the toplevel icons resource
path, it will only use them as ultimate fallback. That is, if the
icon theme (or the hicolor fallback) include a "keyboard" icon, it
will be used over the "keyboard-enter-symbolic" icon in the resource.
Moving the icons to appropriate subdirectories gives them higher
priority than the fallback names, and thus fixes the issue.

Switch to the new WorkspaceLayout layout manager to allocate the window
clones of the overview properly using Clutters layouting mechanisms.
Since we now no longer make use of the fullGeometry, we can remove the
setFullGeometry() function from the Workspace class. Also we can stop
setting the actualGeometry on the Workspaces and WorkspaceViews and
instead just set the fixed position and size of the views to their
full or actual geometry. This also has the benefit that we no longer
have to set a custom clip, but can simply enable clip_to_allocation.
The geometry needs to be set inside a BEFORE_REDRAW later because
_updateWorkspacesActualGeometry() is called from a notify::allocation
handler.
This isn't doing any animations when showing/hiding the overview yet,
we'll add that in the next commit.

Using CSS to center the title actor on the border is a bit ugly, because
it requires the CSS to match the calculations used in chromeHeights().
Also it is not possible to use CSS margins for cases where the position
of the actor is determined at run time, such as for the close button.
Instead use an invisible actor that spans between the horizontal and
vertical center lines of the border as guide when aligning the title
actor.

Start using the new overlays we introduced in the last commit and remove
the WindowOverlay class and the objects for keeping track of them in the
Workspace.
The new layout which doesn't use the -shell-close-overlap CSS property
anymore sligthly changes the position of the close button to be a bit
further away from the actual window.

Events have a clear and obvious connection to the calendar, and similar
to the Clocks and Weather sections there's a strong link to a particular
application.
Adding them as another section to the right-hand side of the calendar
therefore presents a viable alternative to the old events section.

Being able to visualize the actor tree is a handy feature
to have, specially when debugging the hierarchy.
Add a new "Actors" tab to the Looking Glass with the actor
tree inspector. The tree is cleared on unmap to not get
heavy on the number of actors.

The Frequent apps grid has a few problems:
* On a fresh install there would be no history of app usage so the
applications shown in the grid have no relevance it takes time
to be useful instead of being useful from the start;
* The grid has far too many items in it to be relevant; 24 apps is
well beyond the average use case as most people don't frequently
use that many, so it gets populated with several apps that are
single use (hello xterm);
* The position of items in the grid are always changing based on an
unknown frequency metric (and not by user-intended input) which
makes it a poor way to quickly launch apps as one would have to
constantly learn the positions of the items in the grid;
* Having two app grids is a bit superfluous and needlessly complicates
the app launching navigation: you have to spend time checking the
frequent grid and if it's not there you have to switch over to another
grid and find the app you need in there it's not straightforward.
Remove the Frequent tab and simplify the related code.

With color picking implemented in the compositor, we
can do better than letting the user pick a pixel with
the crosshair cursor, and present them with a preview
of the color that will be selected.
Do this by replacing the cursor with a custom icon and
apply a recoloring effect, where we replace a given color
with the color of the currently hovered pixel (similar
to a green screen).

Replace the usage of IconGrid in the grid search results by
a custom layout manager that only allocates as many children
as the actor can fit.
This new layout manager does not implement changing the icon
size depending on the screen size.

Now that the extension preference dialog is opened by a separate
D-Bus service rather than the Extensions app, it can be opened
without a parent window that provides name and icon.
Fix this by adding back a hidden .desktop file.

We had various requests to improve existing OSK layouts, but
haven't accepted them so far as any changes would be overridden
when regenerating the layouts.
However as the upstream layouts at http://www.unicode.org are
extremely slow to update(*), we shouldn't block all improvements.
So instead of letting the update script override all existing
layouts, just make it import new layouts.
(*) not their fault, as the android layouts are a downstream to Google

The module was imported into the toplevel in !424, but that's at
least a bit weird:
- it's a helper script for one particular aspect (OSK layouts)
- it adds a README.mdwn to our own README.md, and a test/ directory
to our tests/
Move the whole thing to a subdirectory under data/, which is more
appropriate.

Use a brighter color and increase the contrast of the selected/active
items in the switcher popup.
Since a bright color doesn't go well with a box-shadow, remove that
shadow, an effect like should only be used for elements clicked with a
mouse anyway.

When mutter is acting as a display server it sets a number of
environment variables in the user's session. These variables
tell applications where the display server's sockets are.
When the shell exits at logout time it leaves these environment
variables in the systemd --user environment, which can confuse
subsequent sessions.
This commit clears up the environment on exit.

Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related
setting that isn't exposed over D-Bus, and therefore requires consumers
to access the GSettings directly.
Expose the setting as UserExtensionsEnabled readwrite property in the
org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface to allow consumers to manage
extensions purely via D-Bus.
The 'disable-user-extensions' setting is the last extension-related
bit from the org.gnome.shell GSettings schema that is not exposed
via D-Bus.
