In recent Fedora 29, connecting to wifi access points from the
user menu (top-right menu) does not work. Clicking the 'Connect'
button just animates it but does nothing else. The logs show an
error "JS ERROR: Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument
'specific_object' but got type 'undefined'".
Looking into this, it seems the problem is these uses of the
`path` property of an NMAccessPoint. NMAccessPoint inherits
from NMObject, and NMObject *does* have a path property:
https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/NMObject.html#NMObject--path
so at first glance this seems fine. But I poked around a bit
using libnm via Python (which goes via introspection, just like
this JS code does), and found that indeed AccessPoint objects
don't seem to have a `path` property there either.
Looking at the libnm code, this actually makes sense, because
the property is marked "(skip)":
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/libnm/nm-object.c#L1291
and the introspection docs suggest that means it should be left
out of introspected output:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations#Symbol_visibility
I'm a bit concerned that this was only found recently - whereas
the change to use `.path` in gnome-shell dates from October 2017
(d71af5e5) and the property has been marked (skip) in NM since
at least 2016 - but this all seems to add up. The obvious fix is
to replace use of `.path` with `.get_path()`, which returns the
path and is *not* marked (skip) and so *is* available via
introspection. I tested that this works in Python and also did
a test build of gnome-shell with this change and installed it on
an affected system, it does seem to fix the bug.

`NMConnectionDevice._sync()` is responsible for setting up the active
connection that we'll end up displaying. It expects the active
connection to already be in a map `_connectionItems`. If it isn't in
there, we get a null dereference and the indicator can get into a weird
state where it doesn't display devices / connections properly.
Let's change this expectation. If there is an active connection,
`_deviceAdded()` will eventually get to it and call `_sync()` to set up
the active connection state. We make `_sync()` tolerate there being no
active connection when it's called.

When the actor that has the key focus is destroyed, Clutter moves
the focus to the stage. In case the destroyed actor was inside a
ModalDialog, this breaks any keyboard interaction: keynav is broken
because the stage isn't in any focus chain, and access keys like
Escape because they are handled on the dialog's parent.
The only dialog that may destroy a child without recreating the dialog
buttons (and thus moving the key focus there) is the WirelessDialog,
fix it by keeping the key focus within the dialog when removing networks
from the list.

Similar to what it's done when the main connection changes, we need
to make sure that the icon in the panel gets updated before calling
_syncConnectivity(), so that the icon gets always updated if needed,
regardless of whether there's an active connection or not.
This is needed because there's at least one case when an icon should
be shown when the computer is not connected to any network: when a
hotspot has been enabled, which can be useful even if there's not
an internet connection to share (e.g. to easily allow connecting
other devices to the computer.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

As in commit b2b2f65 and furthermore it doesn't make much sense to
change the menu item according to the number of connections since all
connections here are of the same type.

The new control-center shell split wifi configuration from the network
panel, and moved all other devices into a flat list. So instead of
manually spawning the app with the 'show-device' subcommand, we can
now simply launch the appropriate settings panel.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey
version used by gjs now warns when accessing those properties, so we
should make sure that they are properly initialized to avoid log spam,
even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

Currently when the wifi selection dialog is open when the screen lock is
activated, the dialog remains visible above the shield. This is clearly
broken, so close the dialog automatically on session mode changes if the
mode doesn't allow settings (as changing the access point is arguably a
user setting).

Items were inserted correctly but the synchronisation was lost if the
name of a connection was changed. Simply making sure the position is
correct after a connection is updated fixes the issue.

If the call to settings.get_connection_by_path in
ensureActiveConnectionProps returns null, we'll hit a JS error here.
Seems to happen always when activating a VPN connection. Avoid that.
Giovanni says:
"I believe this is papering over an existing bug, but it's possible for
settings.get_connection_by_path() to legitimately return null (if the
connection is owned by a different user and invisible to the current
one), so the fix is correct anyway."

The top bar's network menu only supports a subset of device types
supported by NetworkManager. While not having lesser used options
in the menu itself is perfectly reasonable, not showing any network
icon at all in the top bar when the system is fully connected is
weird.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773890
Any network devices appear as top level items in the system status
menu, so on system with an unusually high number of devices, the
menu can end up exceeding the available screen height. While this
is a corner case, leaving important system actions unreachable is
bad. The system menu does not lend itself to scrolling, so handle
this case instead by summarizing sections ("n connections") where
the number of devices exceeds a threshold.

And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

NM upstream would like to reduce periodic scanning, and that means
that clients should request scans themselves while their WiFi list
is open. Similar to the Windows and macOS WiFi dialogs/lists.

We only connect to the corresponding property notifications after both
Client and RemoteSettings are ready, so we may miss the initial signal
emission. Make sure to pick up the connections in this case to fix the
network indicator not showing up.

Follow the design we have in gtk+ for buttons dialogs,
which are at the bottom and they expand full width, having
the same amount of space for each one.
Also, since this removes any space for non-button widgets
in the button area, move the spinner present in the auth prompt
dialog next to the password entry.

Due to a typo we were always removing the first (index 0) connection
from the global list of connections instead of the correct one.
This resulted in some connections remaining in the shell's connection
list long after they were removed. In particular, this resulted in
multiple copies of a bluetooth connection appearing after suspend/resume
(when the device was readded and the cached connection list was
rescanned).

Listen to changes in connectivity, and ask our helper to authenticate
when needed.
We don't have a URL to connect to yet (we will have when
the new NM API lands), so we use the default of trying
www.gnome.org (which is also more reliable because we can
recognize when the login is done)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704416
Icons inside the menu are updated only for device state change,
but for the main device they also depend on connectivity (which
is a global property).
Add a public method to force an update of the icon, and call it
when connectivity changes.

NMApplet will call removeConnection() unconditionally on all sections,
including those that had nothing to do with the connection in the first
place.

The profile name is most often not useful (because it's an
autogenerated string like "Wired Connection 1"), and even when it
is, it's already available in the submenu.

Multiple connections for the same device are mutually exclusive, so
a switch is not the appropriate UI metaphor. Use a radio item instead,
and provide a separate "Turn off" item to disconnect.
Behavior when there is only one connection is not changed, there
is a single Connect/Turn off item.

We don't watch for timestamp changes, and sorting by name keeps
the order consistent and predictable. In practice, there should
be at most 3 or 4 elements, so the user will always read all them
at once and sorting is irrelevant.

If the connection name is changed, the UUID doesn't necessarily,
so checkConnection would take the early return path. Make sure
we update the existing menu item too.
