Sandboxed apps that run without a window are detected by the new
background monitoring service, introduced by xdg-desktop-portal.
We have an opportunity to improve the predictability of the desktop
and ensure that application state in transparently reported to users
by showing these apps, and allowing them to closed.
Add a new background apps menu to the quick settings, that is always
added at the bottom of the popover, and has a slightly custom, flat
style applied to it.
Show background-running apps in this menu, and allow closing them
by first attempting to execute the 'quit' action through D-Bus, and
if that fails, sending SIGKILL to the process.

Extensions can export asynchronous enable() and disable()
functions. To guard against re-entrancy when enabling or
disabling an extension, this commit adds two new states:
ENABLING and DISABLING which are set immediately prior
to calling enable() and disable() respectively.
This commit updates the extensions CLI and Extensions app
with new strings for these states.

`ShouldShowAirplaneMode` only considers whether airplane mode
should be shown for the form factor, not whether there are
any actual kill switches available.
That's tracked in a separate property, `HasAirplaneMode`.
Take that into account for our `:show-airplane-mode` property,
so that it reflects when airplane mode should and *can* be shown.
Right now we only show airplane mode when it is enabled (and
therefore available), but this will change in the future.

The screencast portal supports recording a single window,
and presents a list of open windows when that option is
selected. To allow updating that list when windows are
opened or closed, add a new "WindowsChanged" signal that
the portal can listen to.

The way it is currently calculated is broken for days with DST changes
or leap seconds and it is not needed anymore anyway. This will also make
the fix in the following commit simpler.

The reason this wasn't using the Gio.DBus.makeProxyWrapper() convenience API is that it passes custom flags to the proxy, and that wasn't supported by the wrapper at the time.
As this is now possible, this commit migrates us to the new API.

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 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.

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.

While the gsetting is available for all who needs it, the Shell might
override it given various hueristics. Expose the decision made by the
Shell via a new property.
Intended to be used by gsd-xsettings as well as xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.
This also add a version property to the API, so that semi external
services (xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) can detect what API is expected to be
present.

Clocks has exactly the same issue as Weather: Its integration currently
relies on accessing its settings directly, which isn't possible when
the app is sandboxed.
Fix this the same way we did for Weather, by adding our own setting
and syncing it with the app via a custom D-Bus interface.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1158
Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's
settings, which we cannot do when the app is sandboxed (as its
filesystem is "hidden away" in a container in that case).
So instead, use our own GSettings schema for the settings, and sync
it with GNOME Weather via a custom D-Bus interface.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1158
The existing 'ExtensionStatusChanged' signal has a fixed set of parameters,
which means we cannot add additional state without an API break. Deprecate
it in favor of a new 'ExtensionStateChanged' signal which addresses this
issue by taking the full serialized extension as parameter.

Extensions are currently enabled or disabled by directly changing the
list in the 'enabled-extensions' GSettings key. As we will soon add
an overriding 'disabled-extensions' key as well, it makes sense to
offer explicit API for enabling/disabling to avoid duplicating the
logic.
For the corresponding D-Bus API, the methods were even mentioned in
the GSettings schema, albeit unimplemented until now.

This API has been broken for quite some time now as the corresponding
mutter function meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_for_output was removed.
If anyone tries to use it, we would just run into a backtrace.

While it is possible to register accelerators in-bulk, there is no
proper way to unregister them again. This adds the corresponding call
for UngrabAccelerator to allow ungrabbing multiple accelerators at the
same time.
The idea is that g-s-d can use this in the future to simplify the
keybinding reload logic.

Here's a template string with '/' that escaped commit 94423151b2,
resulting in an xgettext warning when generating the .pot file.
Simply move it into the resource like the other interface descriptions
to make xgettext happy again.

The `GetWindows` method gives access to the list of windows for each
application with some of their properties, so utilities such as dogtail
can pick the window of their choice to interfere with using the provided
window id.

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application
state of the shell. Currently the only exposed information is list of
running applications and which one is active (i.e. has focus).

We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into
separate files. That's a significant increase from the interfaces for which
we install documentation, so it makes sense to use a dedicated subdir.
