The current gstreamer pipeline performs quite bad on slower machines and
is dropping lots of frames, improve the pipeline by changing a few
things:
- Use threads for videoconvert and improve speed of videoconvert by
disabling some unneeded things
- Add a queue before the encoding step, this allows the encoder to work
at its own pace and will lead to a lot more stability
- Remove the fixed quantizer and only set a max quantizer, this helps
quite a bit with performance
- Change the deadline parameter of vp8enc to 1: This makes the encoder
go into real time mode, which will make it a lot faster
- Set cpu-used to 16, the maximum possible value.
- Set static-threshold to 1000, static-threshold is the motion detection
threshold, and while a value of 100 is recommended for screencasting in
the gstreamer documentation (see [1]), using 1000 appears to perform a
lot better and still outputs fairly good quality
- Set a larger buffer size than the default size, this seems to get a
bit more stability during high load scenarios
All in all, those changes make the pipeline drop no more frames when
recording at 30 FPS and 2K screen resolution. That was tested on a
fairly recent mobile core-i5 processor.
Also, because we now have two %T replacement strings for the number of
threads, we need to switch to replaceAll(). For that to work, we have to
put the %T matching expression into quotes.

On the new horizontal workspace-thumbnails, the old placeholder from
vertical dash appeared too small, and was easily hidden behind the
dragged window/icon. Rotate the placeholder 90 degrees to better fill
the spacing between thumbnails.

The original parent of a dragged actor might have been destroyed after
the drag has been started. When the drag is canceled and _dragOrigParent
is set, the code is trying to get the current position and size of it
when restoring. With a destroyed parent this however would result in a
crash.
This could happen for example when starting a drag on a window preview
while the overview is hiding and then releasing it once the transition
is done.

`ThumbnailsBox` listens for the `showing` signal from the `Overview` to
create its thumbnails and destroys them on the `hide` signal. Since the
`showing` signal can be emitted multiple times when switching between
the shown and hidden state without ever fully completing the transition,
this will cause `_createThumbnails` to be called multiple times, each
time adding another set of workspaces.

When starting a gesture to open the overview while a transition to hide
the overview is running, Overview._shown will be first set to false when
starting the transition and then to true by the gesture before the
`onComplete` callback is called. The `onComplete` callback in this case
is `Overview._hideDone()` which starts a transition to show the overview
again which also emits the `showing` signal. Since the gesture emits a
`showing` signal as well, this results in two consecutive `showing`
signals without a `hiding` signal in between.
This breaks the `searchControler` which adds a key press handler to
start the search on `showing` and removes it on `hiding`. So every time
this happens a new handler that will never be removed is added,
resulting in the first key press being repeated.

For the screensaver service, it is quite normal that a consumer only
subscribes to the "ActiveChanged" signal without calling any methods.
The result is that we don't know about the consumer, and shut down
the service anyway after we hit the timeout.
If this happens, we break functionality like gnome-settings-daemon's
screen blanking on idle.
Fix this by simply disabling auto-shutdown for the service, which
also reflects the expectation that the screen saver service is
always running in a GNOME session.

It can happen that we get a problem report and a verification failure at
the same time. For fingerprint, a problem report can result in an
internal verification failure to be queued.

At the moment a failure in a background service can lead to the

At the moment we set the state of the auth prompt to failed any

When we press a key with variants, we used to prevent an
early ::pressed, because a long press could show the options
popover, and the press be undone.
In addition, this long press could move to one of the suboptions,
and be released there. For this case we also want this late
emission of the ::pressed signal.
This makes the "tap, drag, release" pattern work on the
regular OSK keys, in addition to the emoji panel.

This is already allowed for pointer events, but touch events still expected
that the touch begin and end happen on the same Key actor. Change this
behavior for touch events, this is necessary for the tap-drag-release

With commits fab39bbea5 and
62e40a1350 we started depending on a new
ClutterActor API: clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume()
Given that this commit was applied to the 40 stable release, it broke
ABI compatibility with mutter, which is something we guarantee between
stable releases. So use GModule to dynamically find the symbol in our
loaded libraries. If it exists, use it and invalidate the paint volume.
If it doesn't exist, libmutter is still at version 40.0 and we don't
need to invalidate the paint volume.
This also adds a dependency on gmodule. We need to link against gmodule
to use g_module_open() and g_module_symbol() APIs.

At the moment the timed login feature is implemented in the user list.
If there's no user list, we don't show the indicator anywhere and
don't proceed with timed login.
This commit allows timed login to work when the user list is disabled.
It accomplishes this by putting the timed login indicator on the
auth prompt in that scenario.

When super is pressed again during the overview transition, we shift
up to the app grid. That means that the feature currently doesn't
work when animations are disabled (like in a VM), because there is
no transition in that case.
Address this by adding a time-based fallback in that case, i.e.
shift up when a second super-press occurs within 250ms after the
first one.

Using the callback directly as signal handler means that it will
receive the signal parameters (in this case: the StButton instance
that emits the signal).
This leaks an implementation detail that is harmless in the best
case, but can break dialogs when using bind() on the callback.
Avoid that trap by explicitly calling the callback without arguments.

For the primary monitor workspace thumbnail, we must keep the monitor
index in sync with what is currently the primary monitor index,
otherwise we might end up trying to move windows to non-existing
monitors.
For example, if the primary monitor index was 1 when the thumbnail box
was created, but later, the primary monitor index changed to 0, with the
other monitor being turned off, moving a window to one of the workspaces
on the workspace thumbnail, gnome-shell would attempt to move it to the
monitor with the index the primary monitor had in the past, with the
problem being that that monitor no longer exists.
Fix this by listening on the 'monitors-changed' signal on the layout
manager, and update the monitor index of the primary workspace
thumbnails box. Make sure to connect to the signal before creating the
thumbnails box, as the thumbnails box itself will listen to the signal
and recreate its actual thumbnails, and it must do this with the up to
date monitor index.

StWidget is overriding ClutterActors get_paint_volume() vfunc to adjust
for overpaint of things like box shadows that get set in CSS, it does
that by setting the paint volume to the theme nodes paint box.
Since StWidget can't really get notified when the paint box changes, we
just invalidate the paint volume when the theme nodes paint_equal()
returns FALSE.

Since StViewport uses the value of the StAdjustment to create its custom
paint volume, ClutterActors newly introduced proper caching of paint
volumes doesn't get notifed about changes to that paint volume and will
simply reuse the cached old one.
So make use of the newly introduced
clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume() method to make sure ClutterActor
will ask for the paint volume again on the next paint.

When OverviewControls goes from HIDDEN to APP_GRID, it constantly checks
if AppDisplay needs to be visible or not by checking the current overview
state is bigger than WINDOW_PICKER. Turns out in this case this check is
problematic, because when the current state trespasses WINDOW_PICKER, the
layout manager will have already positioned AppDisplay halfway to its final
position.
Use either the final or the current state, whichever is biggest, when updating
the AppDisplay visibility. It optionally allows passing the overview state
params to _updateAppDisplayVisibility() so that we avoid a few trampolines to
recaltulate the adjustment state.

Both app grid and window picker are now always visible in the overview,

Window previews looks slightly offset to the left and top right now
because we don't use the same padding on all edges of the Workspace. We
do that because the oversize and overlap of the window previews is
different on all sides (for example the bottom overlap is very large
because there we show the window title).
To make sure window previews are always perfectly centered on the
Workspace, only use the largest one of the oversize values as spacing
and padding, and add the larger one of the overlap values for the
vertical padding in addition.
With this, we now center the window previews on the Workspace while
never overpainting the allocation of that Workspace to show overlays.
