On X11, clients can grab keyboard on pointer (for example for popup
menus), and as a result the pushModal() call when opening the overview
fails.
However when the hot corner was used to toggle the overview, we still
show the ripple animation in that case, which is confusing as the action
did not actually happen.
Fix this by only showing the ripples if the overview is animating after
calling toggle(), as that should be a reliable indication of whether
the call was successful.

Currently, the login animation can occur before the user's wallpaper has
been loaded. When this happens, we wind up displaying a solid blue
background for half a second or so before the proper background is
displayed. This looks jarring and bad. It's great that we can start
GNOME quickly, but starting up before the wallpaper is ready is *too*
quickly.
I've been meaning to fix this since 2014. Better late than never! We can
just have BackgroundManager emit a loaded signal the first time it loads
its first background, and have the startup animation code wait for that
before proceeding.
Some of this code is by Florian, who helped with promisifying. Thanks!

When using the NVIDIA driver, textures tend to loose their pixels when
suspending. In the past we handled this by figuring out when the NVIDIA
driver was used, and reload the background whenever we noticed we
resumed from suspend.
This shouldn't be needed anymore after
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/600, as it should
handle this by listening to video-memory-purged signal. Thus remove our
special handling here.

Previously we'd show the system background and then wait till the
main loop was idle before beginning the shell startup animation.
This resulted in one initial frame that was always just the system
background.
Now we try to get both the system background and the startup animation
begun on the same first frame.

As system modal dialogs may open without user interaction (for instance
polkit or network agent requests), it is possible for them to pop up
while the app/window switcher is up.
The current result of having both up simultaneously is clearly broken,
so we can either dismiss the popup or prevent the modal dialog from
opening. Assume that the dialog indicates a more important action and
should therefore take precedence, so go with the former.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/725
Since ES5, it is possible to create objects with no prototype at all:
let foo = Object.create(null);
Those object won't have any builtin properties like hasOwnProperty(),
which is why eslint added a corresponding rule to its default rule set.
While this isn't an issue that affects our code, there's no harm in fol-
lowing the recommendation and call the method through Object.prototype.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/716
We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/716
We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

For GObject properties, we follow the convention of all-lowercase,
dash-separated names. Those translate to underscores in getters/setters,
so exempt them from the newly added "camelcase" rule.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Whether people love or hate the hot corner depends in large extents
on hardware sensitivity and habits, which is hard to get right
universally. So bite the bullet and support an option to enable or
disable hot corners ...

The top_window_group is used for windows like popup menus, which should
appear above shell chrome like the panel.
Since we want important actors such as the screen keyboard or modal
dialogs to be shown above those windows, add their actors after adding
global.top_window_group to this.uiGroup and provide a new function
addTopChrome() to add important chrome above the top_window_group.

The bind constraint that replaced the Shell.GenericContainer in commit
f4682748fa is subtly different from the previous code:
It forces the actor to have the same size as the stage, rather than just
requesting that size.
This breaks the magnifier which relies on the UI being able to be bigger
than the display size. Fix by going back to using a custom actor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/646
ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

When a fullscreen application is focused,
toggling the overview via hot-corner is disabled,
even when the overview is currently visible.
This only makes sense, when the overview is
hidden to not to disturb the behaviour of the
fullscreen application, but leaves an
inconsistency when the overview is visible since
it should work there like when a non-fullscreen-
application is focused.
So, always allow hiding the overview using the
hot corner when the overview is visible.

LayoutManager is currently a pure JavaScript class that
relies on the rudimentary Signals.addSignalMethods() to
handle signals. This is an inefficient implementation of
one of the most central classes in GNOME Shell.
In addition to removing Shell.GenericContainer, then,
turn LayoutManager into a proper GObject.Object subclass.
