During the shell initialization we call the (deprecated) function to
override the Desktop environment in Gio DesktopAppInfo to make sure that
applications are correctly shown (as per commit b2fbf5a2), however this
might break the cases in which $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is already set and
contains GNOME (given that is now a list).
In Ubuntu this is in fact set to: ubuntu:GNOME.
Now, if an application contains NotShowIn=ubuntu, the key will be ignored by
the shell, and the application is still listed everywhere.
So, override the DesktopAppInfo desktop environment only in the case that
the current desktop is not already GNOME.
At the current date I think we could just safely get rid of this override at
all, but there could be still cases where it still might be useful, like when
running as nested in some other environment, so keeping it.

We now warn on startup if screen locking isn't available, however for
users who choose not to use GDM or logind, repeating the warning on
each login is more annoying than helpful.
Instead, limit the warning to the first login on which the screen lock
became unavailable. That way the notification will still serve the
intended purpose of informing the user, but without being perceived
as nagging.

At least for the time being, this looks like the easiest option to
launch the service:
- we could add a systemd unit, but then we'd need to update the
RequiredComponents in the fallback session definition as well,
making it necessary for gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions and
gnome-session to be updated to 3.36.1 in lockstep
- autostart is problematic as it would make gnome-shell conflict
with other notification daemons; also autostart is most useful
with automatic shutdown, which would require tracking signal
subscriber to determine when the service is unused

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy
(surprise, regular expressions are hard), so there are still a
handful of holdouts that prevent us from making a complete switch.

Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

The Keyboard class used to be both a view and controller class, however in order
to make the keyboard a native Clutter.Actor, we need to separate the widget from
the controller class, so that we can manage the actor lifetime from the JS side.
Thus, initialize the keyboard actor on the Keyboard constructor and create a
KeyboardManager class to manage its state and lifetime.
Add proxy methods for the public functions that were used by other shell

gnome-session used to show a dialog in this case, but a
notification is more natural nowadays. Doing it in gnome-shell
avoids complicated synchronization between gnome-session and
gnome-shell.

If graphical applications want to start from systemd units, they need to
start after we're properly ready to display them. This is particularly
important under X where `_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS` and other xprops are needed
to have the right theming.
We're doing this in an idle callback so that the dynamic starting of
`gnome-session-x11-service.target` (which launches `gsd-xsettings`) as
the result of a signal emission happens before us signalling we're ready
for later things to start.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/750
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

Now that extension loading and the extensions map are no longer shared
between the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extension-prefs processes, we
can move both into the ExtensionManager which makes much more sense
conceptually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The extension system started out as a set of simple functions, but
gained more state later, and even some hacks to emit signals without
having an object to emit them on.
There is no good reason for that weirdness, so rather than imitating an
object, wrap the existing system into a real ExtensionManager object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Converting a variable to a particular type can be done explicitly (with
functions like Number() or toString()) or implicitly by relying on type
coercion (like concatenating a variable to the empty string to force
a string, or multiplying it with 1 to force a number).
As those tend to be less readable and clear, they are best avoided. So
replace the cases of string coercion we use with template strings, and
clarify the places that can be confused with number coercion.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)

Adds the UI part for the pointer accessibility features.
The various timeouts running are notified using a pie-timer showing

Make the dialog a widget itself, removing the `_group` property used for

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any

so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

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

Throw an error using an informative message in case a mode uses a stylesheet
that can't be loaded, instead of crashing later because the theming can't be

Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved

Modes, extensions and other GNOME Shell assets are searched in appropriate
subdirectories of each directory in XDG_DATA_DIRS, falling back
to global.datadir.
However, this isn't the case for themes, which are currently always expected
in global.datadir, even when referenced by a mode in a different XDG_DATA_DIR.
The fix is to have the theme finding pattern follow the same logic as other
elements.
Fixes#167.
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.

The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously

If a sandboxed app requests access to some system resource (camera,
microphone, location), the portal frontend needs to ask the user
for permission. In GNOME, we want this to be a system modal dialog,
so provide an org.freedesktop.impl.portal.access implementation
that exposes a generic system modal permission dialog on the bus.

If activateWindow() is called as the result of activating an item
in the Time & Date drop-down (most likely a notification), it should
behave as other items and close the calendar.
Commit 5a8923ef95 removed support for legacy status icons from
the notification system, as we no longer want them to appear as
notifications. As we are unfortunately not quite at a point where
we can remove all support for them for good, so we now need an
alternative place to put them. Add a small dedicated tray at the
bottom which appears when any legacy status icons are active. By
default it is almost completely hidden to not interfere with the
user's windows, but can be expanded on demand to interact with
the icons.

Display notifications that have not been dismissed in the message

This DBus API is intended to be used by gnome-control-center's
displays panel to show monitor labels.
Each output (i.e. hardware monitor) identified by its
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig API ID has at most one label. On
mirrored setups, all the labels for outputs corresponding to the same
logical monitor (i.e. showing the same contents in the same mode) are
shown together.
At most, only one DBus client at a time is allowed to show labels.

While the default Shell style is fairly decent with regard to
accessibility requirements, having the ability to tweak certain
aspects where the regular style works less well is still useful.
For this purpose, try to load a -high-contrast theme variant of
the default stylesheet when a high-contrast theme is requested
(as determined by the GTK+ theme name).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740447
Since moving to a GFile based API in commit 642bf2b778,
setThemeStylesheet() no longer accepts %null to revert to
the default theme. We should have some way to revert to the
default and the least intrusive option is to return to the
old behavior, so do that.
Since the background rework, SystemBackground is no longer a transparent
actor that you have to stack on top of a solid background, it is an
opaque actor. Fix the color of the background actor, and remove places
where we were setting the background color underneath the system background
and expecting blending - in particular, we can always set no_clear_hint
on the stage.

If we have a modal, the stage's input region doesn't really matter --
all events go to us anyway. To avoid doing extra work doing animations
when we have a modal, like menus, the overview, and the message tray,
just fizzle out all updates.
To make sure we catch updates, update the input region whenever we end a
modal.

Support was added to Mutter to allow it to trigger a restart
to allow for restarts when switching in or out of stereo mode.
Hook up to the new signals on MetaDisplay to show the restart
message and reexec. Meta.is_restart() is used to suppress
the startup animation.
This also allows us to do 'Alt-F2 r' restarts more cleanly
without a visual flash and animation.

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.

We only need GSystem when running under systemd. As libgsystem itself

We had one osdWindow that we displayed either on the primary monitor or on
whatever monitor index got passed over dbus.
Change that to show the osd on all monitors when no explicit monitor is
requested. A monitor should be requested in cases like display brightness where it makes sense to only show the osd on the affected monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722684
The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.
Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.
We already do this for looking glass, but it makes even less sense
for the normal run dialog - if a mode sets runDialog to false, the
intention is to not allow executing aribitrary commands.
