It might happen that the target clutter actor that we return on call
of st_texture_cache_load_sliced_image might be destroyed while the
loading task is still running. To protect from this, let's connect
to "destroy" signal and when this happens we use a cancellable to
stop the task.
This allows to safely reuse the return value of this function to
cancel the execution and avoiding that load_callback is called
even for a request that is not anymore under our control.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When loading an actor for a sliced image actor, we can now use the
REQUEST_CONTENT_SIZE request-mode for the actor since we the content image
has now a predictable size and thus we can be sure that the size will be applied
taking care of the resource scale.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/5
Create StImageContent as a simple ClutterImage with preferred width/height
properties in order to be able to use explicit sizing when creating clutter

Instead of just passing a scale when getting a cached icon, pass both a
'paint_scale', the scale of which the icon will be painted on the
stage, and a 'resource_scale', the scale of the resource used for
painting.
In effect, the texture size will use the scale 'paint_scale * resource_scale'
in a ceiled value while the size of the actor will use 'paint_scale' when
determining the size.
this would load a bigger texture, but the downscaling would keep the visual
quality.

Create the surfaces for background shadows at scaled sizes and then draw on them
using logical coordinates, by setting the surface device scale accordingly.
Use the said surface scale when generating the actual shadow cairo pattern
but in such case, to reduce the number of code changes, is better to work in
absolute coordinates, and to do so:
1) Create a temporary shadow-spec copy with scaled values to absolute sizes
2) Invert the scaling on the shadow matrix
3) Do the actual painting in absolute coordinates
4) Set the shadow matrix scaling back to the logical coordinates.
Finally scale down the created shadow pattern surface size when painting it,
applying again a reverse scale to the matrix.

Pass resource-scale to drawing phase, and use it to create texture
surfaces scaled with the widget current scaling.
Also redraw by default widgets when the resource scale changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
A fractional resource scale would mean we never use the fast path for
creating the shadow, because we'd cast the int to a float before
comparing, which would never match.
Instead compare the expected texture size with the source texture, to
actually potentially trigger the fast path.

The fade shader will draw the fade effect up until the border pixel. If
we set the bottom right coordinate to the outer edge of the pixel we
might end up not drawing the fade effect on all of the pixels. This
could for example happen if one logical pixel (clutter stage pixel)
consists of more than one physical pixel.

This commit makes StWidget manage the scale of which its associated
resources should be multiplied with. The resource scale is calculated
by clutter, and is retrieved by clutter_actor_get_resource_scale(). Due
to the resource scale not always being available, the getter may fail,
and the actual widget that draws the content will have to deal with
this situation.
As the resource scale depends on where on the stage the widget is drawn,
the resource scale will in general be available once the widget is
mapped.

Since commit deec0bf255, the texture cache is based on ClutterImage
rather than ClutterTexture. As ClutterImage (like all ClutterContent)
is only concerned with painting, it doesn't influence the size of the
actor it is added to at all, and the returned actor will now stay at
size 0x0 after the image has been loaded.
Set up the actor to follow the content's size instead, to get closer
to the previous behavior.

It apparently uses no ClutterTexture specifics, and instead

_st_create_shadow_pipeline_from_actor creates shadow pipelines
from actors. This function special-cases ClutterTexture as a
small performance improvement, since we can have access to the
CoglTexture easily with it. However, recent commits removed all
usage of ClutterTexture from GNOME Shell, rendering this optimization
useless. Instead, actors now may have a ClutterImage set as
their content, that can be used instead.
Replace the check for ClutterTexture with a check for ClutterImage,
and use the texture of the image when it is available.

The Magnifier class uses a small subtree of actors to track the

This drops usage of Gtk/X11, replacing it with code that is dependent

This is an expensive operation that is best avoided in the main loop. Given
the call doesn't care much about returning error or status, it can just

Every operation on a given file will be destructive wrt previous

it before batching the current one.

The last patch in the series, this one adapts StShadowHelper
to received a CoglFramebuffer. This is where we first touch
JavaScript with Cogl types, and as such, it depends on the
latest Mutter. Earlier versions of Mutter didn't have its
Mutter-Clutter GIR to generate types for various Cogl types.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/283
Same case of the previous patch; _st_paint_shadow_with_opacity()
uses cogl_get_draw_framebuffer(), and this patch makes it receive
a CoglFramebuffer as a parameter instead.
The cautious reader might notice that this commit apparently goes
against the long-term goal, for it introduces more instances of
cogl_get_draw_framebuffer(). This is not wrong, but these introduced
ones will be removed later on, when ClutterActor.paint() receives
a CoglFramebuffer as a parameter instead.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/283
This is in preparation for a future where only explicit frambuffer
APIs are available, i.e., cogl_get_draw_framebuffer() does not
exist.
There is absolutely no functional changes in this patch (nor the
following ones in this series), only rearrangements so that various
functions receive a CoglFramebuffer instead of using the draw
framebuffer.

This was called here just to end up emitting ::installed-changed,
which would trigger other g_app_info_get_all() calls. Cache it here
so it may be reused later on.
Handling those events is neccessary if a touch event that pressed down a
button turns out to be a gesture. In this case the button should be
released without emitting the clicked signal.
After loading the GdkPixbuf, StTextureCache unconditionally
creates a ClutterImage and, if it's not in the cache, add
it to the cache. That's a waste of resources when the image
is already committed to the texture cache.
Fix that by reusing the ClutterImage of the cache if it is
already there; otherwise, create a new ClutterImage as we
were previously doing.
ClutterTexture is a deprecated class that is simultaneously
an actor, and the content of the actor. Clutter's new model
is to separate painting (via ClutterContent) from actors.
Currently, StTextureCache relies on ClutterTexture to store
the loaded textures. This not only does not match the latest
practices of Clutter, but also generates various compile-time
warnings.
Port StTextureCache to store ClutterImages instead of storing
ClutterTextures. ClutterImage exposes the internal CoglTexture,
so no helpers are needed to match the current StTextureCache
API. Aspect ratio was dropped, but from my testing, it doesn't
change anything.
All callers have been updated to use MetaSoundPlayer. This drops direct
usage of libcanberra-gtk, and the X11 connection indirectly. One thing
worth noting is that we pass less metadata (eg. event x/y that might be
used for surrounding effects). This was all largely unused, so the
MetaSoundPlayer was made simpler.

When computing the effective border color, we operate on colors with
premultiplied alpha to simplify the calculations, then unpremultiply

If the actor is not on the stage yet (i.e. does not have a theme
node), but has a paint state cached, we currently fail to invalidate
it, which will lead to the actor painting with old contents once it
gets onto the stage.
This commit fixes the issue by changing our invalidation strategy;
previously we were looking at the widget's own theme node to determine
if it should be invalidated or not.
Now we look at the theme nodes of our cached paint states. When the
widget is mapped on stage, those are the same as the widget's own
theme node, but when the widget is not on the stage, we'll still be
able to invalidate them.
As part of this, we move the invalidation API to StThemeNodePaintState,
which is a more natural place for our use case.

In X11, pointer emulated touch events are replicated with normal PRESS, RELEASE
pair events which are generated by the server. Thus for a single tap we get:
- TOUCH_BEGIN -> TOUCH_END, PRESS -> RELEASE
This will cause st-button to send two "clicked" signals, instead of just one,
breaking extensions (like dash-to-dock) that show buttons in the main stage
which will be checked two times or that will receive the same signal two times.
Back in the day, there was a proposed system of tracking apps in a
specific context.
The inspiration was that you may have used apps in multiple modes:
Firefox may have been used in both "Programmer Reference" and
"Kitten Videos" contexts. Early user response to the feedback wasn't
too positive - context switching is something that humans have trouble
doing implicitly, let alone explicitly. The old codebase still has a
few remnants of this around; let's finally put them to rest.
Note that we still write out a dummy context tag to the XML file - old
versions of the shell will flat out crash if you don't have one of those
in there, so just leave it in for compatibility sake.

cogl_texture_new() is used in a few places in GNOME Shell, but
it's a deprecated Cogl function. The replacement is the less

Remove the few places where this function is used, replacing
it by the CoglTexture2d counterpart.

StTextureCache installs file monitors that invalidate caches when
contents of the underlying file change.
At the moment, the cache uses the Gio.FileMonitorEvent.CHANGED event
type to make that determination.
However, that is suboptimal for at least two reasons:
- while a file is being written to disk, many CHANGED events will be
emitted in sequence. That will cause needless cache invalidations,
and we will risk loading the file before it's fully loaded.
- if an existing file is replaced, e.g. with g_file_replace(), we may
not get a CHANGED event but a CREATED one instead, so the cache ends
up never getting invalidated.
The good news is that in both of those cases GFileMonitor will send a
CHANGES_DONE_HINT event after changes have settled, or after the file
is replaced.
This commit fixes both cases by switching from the CHANGED event to
CHANGES_DONE_HINT to determine that a file has in fact changed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/286
If the initialization fails for some reason, for example by
running 'gnome-shell --replace', we should not crash because

According to Clutter documentation, "[…] actors implementing the
ClutterContainer interface should override the default implementation
of the class handler of this signal and call clutter_actor_destroy()
on their children."
StBin was doing that in GObject:dispose() instead. Move the child
destruction to a new ClutterActor:destroy() vfunc override.
StBoxLayout implements StScrollable, which, semantically, means that
the StBoxLayout size may not match the minimum size reported by the
layout manager. In this specific case, the layout manager by is a
ClutterBoxLayout by default. For example:
+--------------+
| Viewport |
+------+--------------+-----------------+
| | | |
| | | Content |
| | | |
+------+--------------+-----------------+
| |
+--------------+
So, assuming that:
- ContentSize = the minimum size of the content;
- ViewportSize = the allocated size of the viewport;
When allocating StBoxLayout, it must assume ViewportSize, but must
pass ContentSize to the layout manager. That way, the children of
StBoxLayout are correctly placed within it, even if it's bigger than
ViewportSize.
And here's the problem: right now, StBoxLayout assumes ViewportSize
AND also passes it to layout manager. Commit 77c4c6b6d specifically
exposed this bug by relying entirely on StBoxLayout to arrange the
app and window icons.
Fix that by using ViewportSize to allocate StBoxLayout itself, but
passing ContentSize to the layout manager.

Using a single resource file for all JS sources saves a couple of
build system instructions, but has some serious downsides:
- bundling the entire shell code with the tools blows
up their size unnecessarily
- the tools are rebuilt unnecessarily for any shell
code change
Autotools was painful enough to let this slip, but with meson we
don't have any excuses - using the actual dependencies speeds up
the build a tiny bit and reduces the tools' sizes from over 2M
to about 50k.

Simply reusing the same dependencies as gnome-shell itself not only

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used

is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,

we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.
It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.
fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.

When the amount of free memory on the system is somewhat low, gnome-shell
will sometimes fail to launch apps, reporting the error:
fork(): Cannot allocate memory
fork() is failing here because while cloning the process virtual address
space, Linux worries that the thread being forked may end up COWing the
entire address space of the parent process (gnome-shell, which is
memory-hungry), and there is not enough free memory to permit that to
happen. This check is somewhat irrelevant because we are only forking
to immediately exec(), which will discard the whole virtual address
space anyway.
This issue can be avoided by using a new optimized gspawn codepath in
the latest glib development version, which uses posix_spawn() internally.
For the optimized codepath to be used, we must not pass a child_setup
function, so the the file descriptor management is reimplemented here
using new glib API to pass fds to the child process. The old API will
continue to be used on older glib versions.
We must also change the spawn flags for this code path to be hit.
I checked that gnome-shell's open file descriptors are all CLOEXEC
so using G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN should be safe.
This will result in more resilient app launching when memory is low,
since the optimized spawn path avoids cloning the virtual address
space of the parent process (gnome-shell) and avoids the irrelevant
memory overcommit check.

While can_open_new_window() uses some elaborate heuristics to predict
whether an application can open multiple windows, open_new_window()
will always simply relaunch the application. This is often the best
we can do, but when an application provides a "new-window" action in
its .desktop file or on the bus, it is much more likely to work as
expected than blindly activating the app and hoping for a particular
behavior.

All adjustment setter functions take good care of avoiding emission of
notify:: when it's not needed. The set_property() implementation already
calls into the setter functions, so mark the properties as EXPLICITY_NOTIFY
in order to optimize notify:: emission away through g_object_set (rather
common from JS code).
The actor allocation doesn't change per-se, but apply_transform()
will practically transform it. In order to have the paint volume
update accordingly, queue a relayout.
The default get_paint_volume() implementation will do the union
of children, and the child ClutterText paint volume may expand
beyond StEntry size when text overflows.
We actually want all content to be clipped to the StEntry, so
implement get_paint_volume() and tell it so.
And constrain it in StScrollView instead (instead of falling back to an
infinite paint volume, as the actor as paint/pick impls, but no
corresponding get_paint_volume one).
Fixes artifacts with the AppView (and possibly other places) when paint
volumes are aggressively cached.

The default keyed_surface is meant to handle CoglTextures thus we can't
add cairo surfaces to it, as the DestroyNotify function won't handle them.
Then the quicker way is to just add another Hash table for handling
such types of textures, with proper destroy function.
This might cause a crash when cleaning up the cache as the hash table has
cogl_object_unref as DestroyNotify function but that assumes that
the passed object is a valid CoglObject.
Fixes: #210
The instance is owned by the actor (being its child), and thus when the
disposal happens for the parent the text is disposed too, thus it's just
safer to nullify its reference so that we won't try to access to invalid
objects later, and this might be the case since the JS objects could be kept
around until they aren't finalized.

While it is theoretically fine to run --perf=hwtest without passing --hwtest,

Call _st_set_text_from_style() when updating the entry's style, so
that CSS style properties such as text-decoration or letter-spacing
are applied over the internal ClutterText instance.
If an actor is pending a relayout when get_allocation_box() is called,
the method forces an allocation update. In case of StWidget, this might
then result in a style update and a consecutive invalidation of the
shadow spec.
A helper method that invalidates one of its parameters as a side effect
(and by extension its return value as well) is most unexpected, so cur-
rently _st_create_shadow_pipeline_from_actor() poses an easy trap to
callers to run into.
Remove that trap by calling get_size()/get_position() instead, which
don't have the unintended side effect - it is still a good idea to fix
callers who were running into this to not waste resources on creating
shadows that are invalidated before the next paint, but throwing un-
defined behavior at them is harsh ...

The st_button_release() call wouldn't happen because StButton does not

After we receive one of the tracked signals, in case we get stuck inside

To avoid to handle new signals caused by the handler calls, once we get the
first signal, we just ignore them all as they could only lead to dirty traces.

corrupt the stack for automatic errors trackers).
In any case after dumping the stack we raise the signal again, in order

When creating a shadow for a ClutterTexture, we currently use the
underlying CoglTexture directly instead of rendering the actor to
an offscreen buffer. This assumes that the CoglTexture is directly
suitable as shadow source, which isn't necessarily the case - it
may have a very different size than what is shown and scaled up or
down by the hardware. In that case we end up with a scaled shadow
texture as well, which messes up the desired blur effect - the
result will be too light when scaling up, or too sharp when scaling
down. To fix this, only take the shortcut when a ClutterTexture's
underlying texture has the correct size and fall back to offscreen
rendering otherwise.

Passing a incorrectly formatted font family string to pango seems to
cause wierd issues, where the wrong font is sometimes selected.
For example, this fixes a font selection issue on zh_TW.UTF-8 locale for

The theme widget passed to shell_tray_manager_manager_screen() is simply
a means to receive style information. There is nothing which ties the two

Compiling the generated source for each consumer of the dependency
means we end up trying to register the enum types multiple times,
resulting in a fatal failure on startup. Luckily code outside libst
itself only depends on the header, which doesn't cause those issues.
st_built_sources contains the source and header generated by mkenums,
not any other generated sources. Clarify that in the name, as we are
about to use source and header separately.
We cannot rely on any build order, except the one we specify ourselves.
St depends on various generated files; other targets depend on those
files existing, so they can be included. There is no direct relationship
between targets and files, unless we declare a dependency, using the
Meson declare_dependency() constructor — which allows us to replace the
various `link_with` directives with the more appropriate `dependencies`
one, and also allows us to specify sources that must exist by the time
we build those targets.
In parallel builds we may end up with st-enum-types.c being built inside
separate targets outside of src/st which may not have the ST_COMPILATION
pre-processor symbol defined. For this reason, we need to define it
ourselves in the source file, before including other headers, to avoid
the single-include guard.
This is not strictly necessary when linking the shell with DT_RPATH as
the runtime paths will be extracted from the introspected libraries and
used from gobject introspection to find them when loading them based on
the typelib files, but when linking with DT_RUNPATH, as it's the case
for some linkers (e.g. ld.gold, or ld.bfd in some distros like Debian).
By explicitly prepending this directory as a library path for GIR, we're
making sure that the wrapped shared objects installed in Mutter's and
GNOME Shell's private directories can be found in all cases.

There's no need to explicitly destroy the ClutterText actor inside the

After having embedded a Gtk window, we start to listen for the

Our window matching currently fails frequently with Flatpak
applications, as one of the primary hints used to link windows
with .desktop files - the WM_CLASS - no longer matches when
flatpak renames the exported .desktop file. Worse, as Flatpak

apps frequently share a common _NET_WM_PID, resulting in
unrelated apps being grouped together by one of the fallback

Instead of querying the client for a list of objects and using

Composite is a hard requirement for mutter's compositor, so if we get

It has been deprecated for a while in favor of GdkRgba, though in our

(obviously) or where the class exposes any vfuncs (where changes
could affect inheritance in extensions).
Both ShellAppSystem and ShellTrayManager are used as singletons, which
significantly reduces the usefulness of inheritance - it's unlikely for
extensions to inherit from them anyway (AND use any of the vfuncs), so
drop them to allow defining the types as final in an upcoming commit.

The default pipeline color is opaque white and blending is turned

When the last interesting window of an app-backed window is removed,
we'll transition it back to STOPPED, but we transition the state and
send out the signal before we clear the running state.
This means that any listeners to the state-changed signal might
encounter a window-backed app that has a running state, but no
windows. If they call, e.g. shell_app_get_name, while in this state,
they'll encounter an assertion fail.
Apps that are starting might have uninteresting windows like splash
screens pop up and then go away (like LibreOffice), even when
startup-notification hasn't completed yet. In those cases, we don't
want to transition the app back to stopped -- it should remain in
the running state.
Our StartUpWMClass heuristics use a StartupWMClass -> .desktop ID
mapping built from the list of all installed applications. In case
of multiple .desktop files setting the same StartupWMClass, we
currently simply pick the last one returned by g_app_info_get_all (),
which can be a bit surprising:
A window with WM_CLASS 'emacs', launched through a .desktop file
named 'emacs.desktop' with a StartupWMClass of 'emacs' maps to ...
'emacsclient.desktop'!
Make this case a bit less random by preferring the app info whose

message context, so that gettext can correctly disambiguate strings
like "S". However this does only work when gettext actually returns
a translation from the catalogue; if the string is not found, we
need to strip the context again to not have it show up in the UI.

The mode is never set after the removal of the bottom tray, so it

When it comes to keybindings or gestures, there's not really a good
reason why popups associated with the top bar should behave differently
from any other shell menus. Just set the action mode generically for

Currently we have been using the vp8 codec because it was the best unencumbered codec at that time. With vp9 we now have a successor that leads to smaller

those resolutions better, so switch to vp9.

The lookup table used by get_app_from_window_pid contained only pids of
apps launched by gnome-shell itself, but not pids of apps running before
gnome-shell was (re-)started. Also the pids in that table might not even
be the pid of the process that is actually showing the window if wrapper
scripts are used.
Instead use shell_window_tracker_get_app_from_pid which uses the pids
from the windows themselves.
This removes the only use of launched_pid_to_app which will be removed
in the following commit.

g_dbus_proxy_new() (and library calls that wrap it) has an hardcoded

Themes - namely the HighContrast one - may now request symbolic
icons rather than fullcolor ones. In order to have recoloring
work as expected in that case, we will need a theme node to pick
up colors from - using an StIcon instead of manually loading a
texture from the cache gives us that for free, so do that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740447
GTK+ added support for a -gtk-icon-style property in themes to
enforce a particular icon style. Do the same for shell themes
with an -st-icon-style property, with the same set of possible
values as the GTK+ variant:
'requested' - use symbolic or fullcolor icon depending on the
icon name (default)
'regular' - enforce fullcolor icons
'symbolic' - enforce symbolic icons
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740447
The split between st_texture_cache_load_gicon() and load_gicon_with_colors()

Using a separate property to show when the application is busy rather
than cramming it into the state property makes the code clearer. In most
places we only care if an app is running or not, not whether it is
actually busy.

This simplifies the code and fixes a race where an application could
call g_application_mark_busy() before the shell subscribed to change

The window actor shouldn't have been picked since it has an empty
input shape, but bugs in mutter weren't properly interpreting that.
Since the Wayland restructure, the MetaWindowActor isn't actually
reactive anymore, it's the MetaSurfaceActorX11, so this code isn't
doing anything.
It's implemented similar to the padding property, but instead of taking
into account the margin values at drawing time in node-drawing, we set
the clutter actor margins in StWidget when the style is computed.
In the case that a CSS margin is not specified, we don't to set a value
of 0 to the clutter actor margin. In this manner it allows to use
Clutter margin values set in the code. However, the margins that are set
both in the code and in the CSS on the same side, the result is
unpredictable.
We avoid to set the clutter actor margin values to 0 if there's no CSS
margin values defined, so we still allow clutter actors to use margin
set in the code.

We commonly mark strftime format strings for translation to account
for date/time representations without an existing strftime shortcut
("Yesterday %H%p"). As those translations are looked up according to
the locale defined by LC_MESSAGES, while the conversion characters
themselves are resolved according to LC_TIME, the result can be
rather odd when mixing locales ("Den 27. January"). The correct
solution would be to install translations for format strings in
the LC_TIME catalogue and look them up with dcgettext(), but we
don't have the infrastructure to do that easily. Work around this
by adding a helper method that looks up a string in LC_MESSAGES
using the locale defined by LC_TIME and use that to translate
format strings, which has the same result.

Wayland applications don't tend to have very useful WM Class properties,
as GTK+ isn't very good at picking an appropriate application ID. While
we should likely fix GTK+ to pick a better app ID, we do have the
existing gtk_shell for more accurate information. The only problem is
that the gtk_surface is set after the MetaWindow is constructed, and
we're not listening for changes on the GTK+ application ID.
Listen to changes on the GTK+ application ID to fix app tracking for
most GTK+ applications under Wayland.

Performance testing was producing inconsistent values at different

So we have consistent numbers, install a simple animated background

It's useful to know how long frames are taking to render on the GPU.
This is impossible to measure in the normal case because frames may

environment where we have a meaningful timestamp for the frame
finishing drawing.

This reverts commit e23c2ffecc.

Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.

Since rebasing our AppSystem on GLib's facilities, we only ever
append to the id-to-app cache. So if an application is uninstalled,

it keeps lurking in the dash until a restart.

clutter_device_manager_get_core_device calls XIGetClientPointer, which
requires a round-trip to the server. Since we do this on StWidget
creation, this means a full round-trip for every created StWidget.
Replace this with get_device with the ID of the VCP/VCK, since mutter
doesn't support MPX, and we know this is what the device is.
If the sprite is NULL, like if a Wayland app wanted to hide the cursor,
then we need to hide the ClutterTexture on our side, as ClutterTexture
has no easy way to tell it to paint nothing.
If gdk_screen_get_setting fails, like if it's running without XSettings,
then the GValue will have a value of 0. A lot of code tries to divide by

So far we have assumed that whether or not a window is interesting
is static. In general this is the case, but as it is legal for the
underlying properties to change at any time, there are of course
offenders that actually do this (flash I'm looking at ya).
While we used the property to determine whether a window should be
tracked or not, the worst case was showing windows that should be
hidden or missing windows that should be shown.
However as we nowadays base an app's running state on the number of
interesting windows, we need to be more careful in order to avoid
ending up with running apps with no windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723308

With the lastest ShellApp changes, an app is considered stopped
when the last "interesting" window is closed. However the app
may still track non-interesting windows, so if we unref the
running state on the state transition, we hit an assertion later-on
when trying to remove the non-interesting window.
Fix this by keeping the running state around until the last window
is closed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722840
An app should be considered running if it has at least one "interesting"
window, however the code considers an app running if it has at least
one tracked window. This was fine while we were only tracking interesting
windows, but since commit d21aa0d85f this is no longer the case.
So keep track of the number of interesting windows as well and use that
to determine the running state.

It is possible to associate an application's window with a different
application using the transient_for hint. However we currently only
consider the hint in get_window_app() and not when making the original

for instance, get_window_app() will not necessarily return the same
value for all windows retrieved via shell_app_get_windows().
Fix this by looking at the transient_for hint when making the original
association, not just in get_window_app().

get_secrets_keyring_cb() contained an optimization (copied over from
nm-applet) that avoided a D-Bus round-trip when NetworkManager sent
secrets hints that were not satisified by the user. This code did
not properly handle empty hints though, and proceeded to always
request new secrets whenever empty hints were sent. Remove this
code entirely since the complexity is not worth it (per Jasper).
Second, get_secrets_keyring_cb() was mishandling VPN secrets which
were marked as "always ask". Because the VPN secrets are not GObject
properties because they cannot be pre-defined, they are passed in
a hash table that is a GObject property marked 'secret'. Unfortunately,
that means that the shell agent cannot determine their secret flags.
But since the VPN plugin auth dialogs have much better information
about what's required than the shell agent does, always ask the VPN
auth dialogs to handle the secrets requests after grabbing any that
already exist from the keyring. This is also what nm-applet does.

Sorting actors by the distance in the axis of movement first and against
the axis otherwise means that if we have a situation like:

where "F" is the focused actor, and it slightly overlaps with B vertically,
then we'll choose "B" to go left, rather than "A", which is most likely
what the user intended.
This is especially apparent in the overview where slight window size
differences mean we might not get an exact grid shape.

Systemd-for-the-user-session would also do this, but that's a deeply
invasive change that I may not actually get to this cycle. This
change is tiny and non-invasive, but provides an important benefit:
You can actually reliably tell *which* applications are logging which
messages (assuming they're launched by the shell).

Rather than create all ShellApps up-front, create them lazily. We really
had no reason to do this before as we were scanning GMenu to get all the
apps, but doing this can remove a need for get_all, which is slow and
memory-hungry.
We want to transition to a system in the future where we have a desktop
file cache. As we no longer differentiate categories or similar, it no
longer makes sense to have app visibility based on categories. Thus,
we no longer need to use gnome-menus to list all apps. The potential
issue here is reloading all desktop files when new files are created,
but this can be dealt with individually.
The "All Applications" view still uses gnome-menus.
