Extension that want to expose their own preferences (for example as menu
items) do that by passing their UUID to gnome-shell-extension-prefs.
But since 3.36.1 the app is optional and no longer accepts arguments on
the command line. To adjust, extensions now need to make a D-Bus call
the extensions portal, just like the app and gnome-shell.
We will add a convenience method for that purpose, so it makes
sense to share the existing code. As it's extension-related, the
extension manager looks like the right place ...

A promisified method expects the callback parameter to be either
a function (in which case the original method is called normally)
or omitted altogether (in which case a Promise is returned).
The call to open application details in Software does neither and
passes null instead, which will result in a warning (because no
function argument means a promise will be used, but not omitting
the parameter means we end up with too many arguments).

Commit 83c6b2ab promisified the method in endSessionDialog, which means
that after the module is imported, every caller will get the promisifed
version. That can be a bit surprising in completely unrelated modules,
so commit 764527c8 (on master) moved the promisification of more common
methods into environment, as that's initialized early and expected to be
shared between anything else.
Do the same for the call() method on the stable branch.

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.

In some situations we could end up not with lingering 'view-loaded'
handler. This could result in delayed spring animate-in being initiated,
e.g. after a minute after the activities overview was already closed.
Fix this by removing any lingering signal or later handlers when
unmapping.

(cherry picked from commit f49b58cf97)
Starting the animation from the actor 'paint' signal has various
unwanted consequences, such as sometimes trigger a
clutter_actor_queue_relayout() during the paint phase. One unwanted
consequence was that an offscreen actor effect was disabled during
painting, meaning the effect would begin being active, but later during
the post-paint processing being disabled. The caused said effect to push
an offscreen framebuffer to the paint context, but then just destroy it
instead of popping it. When this happened, we'd end up trying to operate
on a framebuffer that may had been finalized, or not, depending on the
garbage collector. Sometimes, for some users, this caused a segmentation
fault when trying to pop a matrix from the framebuffer matrix stack.
Deal with this more properly, by using the 'view-loaded' signal to wait
with animation until the view is loaded, as well as using MetaLater to
schedule the start of the animation.
For when a view was signalled to be ready, we're in a state where we can
start animation before the next frame as the layout is ready, but when
not, we have to add back the "hack" where we must wait for one frame for
the target icon positions to be up to date. Do this by adding a
MetaLater IDLE callback that starts the animation *after* the next
frame. This also needs the old 'opacity = 0' work around to not show an
incorrect first frame.

The text is part of the entry, so it is surprising that it can
still be edited when the entry itself isn't reactive. Address
this by setting up a binding instead of expecting all consumers
to handle the case themselves.

Set the do not disturb label as the label actor for the do not disturb switch,
so that Orca speaks the do not disturb label when the user moves
keyboard focus to the do not disturb switch.
Also enable toggle mode for the "Do Not Disturb" button and bind it's checked
state to the state property of the switch. This makes sure that Orca presents
thecorrect state of the do not disturb switch to the user.

It seems there is a weird race condition between Clutter trying to
destroy the keyboard actor and Clutter trying to hide the keyboardBox
container actor: If the keyboardBox is hidden before destroying the
keyboard actor, Clutter doesn't repaint anything and the keyboard
remains visible until something else draws over it.
To fix this issue until we find the underlying Clutter bug, simply
destroy the keyboard actor before hiding the keyboardBox. The order in
which we call these doesn't matter anyway since hideKeyboard(true) hides
the keyboard immediately without an animation.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/1736https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1142
We're dealing with attached keyboards now using the touch_mode property
of ClutterSeat: If a device has a keyboard attached, the touch-mode is
FALSE and we won't automatically show the OSK on touches, also the
touch-mode gets set to FALSE when an external keyboard is being plugged
in, so that also hides the OSK automatically.
With that, we can now ignore keyboard devices when updating the last
used device and no longer have to special-case our own virtual devices.
Because there was no special-case for the virtual device we use on
Wayland now, this fixes a bug where the keyboard disappeared after
touching keys like Enter or Backspace.

Since commit 2894085c45 we omit sound feedback on volume changes
if something is already outputting sound. Unfortunately that
"something" may be our own feedback (from a previous volume
change).
In that case we do not want to omit the new feedback, so instead
cancel the previous one.

The offset argument is changing from uint to int. Which means we
might would pass a negative offset and trigger an "out of bounds"

Since commit 784c0b7e4 we use the name of the nearest city rather
than the weather station, as the latter tend to have unwieldy

However the nearest city may not be that near after all, in which
case the result is again surprising.
Address this by not using the nearest city name unconditionally, but
only if it appears in the station name.

AuthPrompt is created on demand, and this._authPrompt is

Check if AuthPrompt exists before cancelling it.

The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.
This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1133
We include config.js because it is a dependency of ExtensionUtils,
but it's not actually used in the code paths we exercise.
As we want to allow stand-alone builds of the app, it is much easier to
fake the module than to either include a generated file from elsewhere
in the tree or generate it ourselves.

Instead of adding a dragMonitor for every icon in the grid as soon as
one icon is getting dragged, only add a dragMonitor for the icon that is
currently being dragged over (ie. the current drag-target). With a large
number of icons in the iconGrid, this should significantly reduce lags
while dragging.
We can do this by detecting the DnD-entering of an icon or folder using
the `handleDragOver()` callback of drag-targets, adding the dragMonitor
because we know an icon is hovering above the drag-target and then
detecting the DnD-leaving of the drag-target by using the `dragMotion()`
handler, where we remove the dragMonitor again as soon as the
targetActor is no longer our actor (ie. the drag-target).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/849
While it should be impossible to destroy a FolderIcon while a DnD action
is still going on, there might still be rare cases where this happens
(ie. when a folder is removed because an app got deleted during DnD).
So make sure we're on the safe side here and don't potentially leave
dragMonitors around after the icon is destroyed by removing the
dragMonitor inside the onDestroy handler of the FolderIcon, just like we
do for AppIcons.

Forward the arguments at the 'delete-surrounding-text' signal
from IBusInputContext to clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding()
so that ibus-typing-booster use the deleting surrounding text function.
Input method engines can delete the output text in applications
with this function.
This change will require a change of mutter of mutter!517
because the first arguemnt of the 'delete-surrounding-text' is INT
to express the offset of the current cursor position but
the first one of clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() is UINT
since the Wayland spec accepts UINT in delete_surrounding()
mutter will change the type of the first one to INT in
clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() to work with this change.

While we don't technically need the app to download and apply
updates, we do require it for notifying the user about available
updates and listing extensions with pending updates.
So instead of intransparently applying updates in the background
without the user noticing, disable updates altogether if the
Extensions app is not installed.

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an
extension that has been blacklisted makes sense off-hand, unfortunately
we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any
time soon[0], so drop the 'blacklist' handling for the time being.

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,

back.

Destroying the policy invalidates it, so accessing it from a
Source::destroy handler (for example to disconnect signal

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

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.

In telepathyClient we consider messages both Tpl.TextEvents and
Tpl.Messages, and we manually create JS objects to copy the properties we
care for each one. This may lead to objects not matching the interface we
want.
Instead, use an object with construct-only properties and two factory static
methods to initialize it.
Unfortunately we need to use the ChatMessageClass for the class name or
calling the static methods would trigger a gjs error as per [1].

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.

It's easy to forget to add a new <release> tag to the metainfo when

Commit da537cda43 moved the Shell.Screenshot API to GIO's async pattern,

we do that.

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.
The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:
- filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
to files)
- system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)
- extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
gnome-shell's dependencies
- if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs
And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).
This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:
- it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows
- it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
in the same namespace as the extension itself
That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
We are jumping through quite some hoops to support showing only the
preference dialog when given a UUID on the command line.
As gnome-shell is about to stop calling out to us for the prefs dialog,
the reason for supporting this is going away, so remove all the special
handling.
