As the app menu is being phased out, it is no longer a good indicator
for GtkApplications. Instead, base the check directly on the appropriate
D-Bus properties.

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
the result. However we miss a bounds check in the last check, so any
color component can overflow the allowed maximum of 0xff and shift the
result in unexpected ways.

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
verbose cogl_texture_2d_new_with_size(), that is very much a
straightforward replacement.
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
of an attempt of unregistering an unregistered agent handle.
Fix that by checking if the handle is not NULL before calling
the unregistering routines.

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.

gjs now relies entirely on introspection data to determine parent
types and implemented interfaces, so in order to have all methods
and properties resolve correctly, we must include the corresponding
GIRs of all types used.

There's no relation between a window being hidden from overview/taskbars
and a window not being closable - currently we effectively disable the
fallback quit action for any application with open transients, which
simply doesn't make sense.
Instead, only exclude windows for which the close action has been
explicitly disabled.

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/192
Simply reusing the same dependencies as gnome-shell itself not only
means that we link tons of stuff unnecessarily, but also that we
have to do the whole mutter rpath dance for nothing. Just use the
dependencies those executables actually need for a nice cleanup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/192
We need this in the main gnome-shell executable in order to locate
the private Shell and St typelibs, but those aren't useful or even
usable in the extension-prefs/portal helper tools.

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/132
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.

Graphical applications like GIMP or GIMP allow picking colors from
any location on-screen. In order to keep supporting this feature
on wayland and in sandboxed apps, we will expose an appropriate
method in the Screenshot interface, so first add a corresponding
method to ShellScreenshot.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/286
A custom callback type is more convenient, but only as long as no
other callback type is required. We are about to add functionality
that does not return the filename to a screenshot saved on disk, so
prepare for that by moving to GIO's generic async callback pattern.

So that we can be started by systemd --user, instead of gnome-session.
There are three units:
- gnome-shell.service: Start gnome-shell itself.
- gnome-shell-x11.target, gnome-shell-wayland.target: Sync points for
units that need to care if x11 or wayland is in use.
gnome-settings-daemon will use these, for example.

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.
Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved
into three different places: MetaDisplay, MetaX11Display (for X11
specific functionality) and MetaWorkspaceManager.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759538
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
