While I've been trying to make the GC kick in more often, I've decided
it's a better tradeoff to aggressively GC at "leisure", for multiple
reasons.
We can and should revisit this at a later time, but basically:
* The shell doesn't generate *that* much JS data - garbage collection
is very fast here.
* Long periods without GC mean we're not calling free() when we
could, which in turn makes heap fragmentation much worse.
* Ensuring the GC runs at idle makes it much less likely we'll take
a random large GC hit in the middle of an animation.

Base ShellStack on StContainer rather than ClutterGroup, so that it
has StWidget-y features (and so we don't have to "cheat" in
shell_stack_allocate()). Implement navigate_focus() to only ever pass
focus into the top-most child, since doing otherwise would be
surprising.

The translation is taken from GTK+, so translations in the gnome-shell
domain are pointless - hide the string, so that it is not extracted
by xgettext.
In particular, document that you can ignore the get-preferred-*
signals if and only if you have a fixed width/height specified by some
other means.

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

This commit introduces a "session type" for
gnome-shell. It essentially defines what
mode of operation the shell runs in
(normal-in-a-users-session mode, or at-the-login-screen mode).
Note this commit only lays the groundwork. Actually
looking at the key and appropriately differentiating
the UI will happen in subsequent commits.

shell_global_get() currently implicitly instantiates the shell
global singleton the first time it's called. This means there's
no opportunity to set construction-time properties on the singleton.
This isn't an issue yet, because there aren't any. We will need it
in the future, though, when we grow a --gdm-mode that gets exposed as
a property through the global singleton.
This commit adds a new _shell_global_init() function that must be
invoked before shell_global_get() can be called.

StAdjustment has some non-functional and unused animation vestiges

A network agent is a component that stores network secrets (like

As danw points out,
"It's unique during the lifetime of the window, but reasonably likely to be

Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as

timestamps from elsewhere.

This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.

Add a helper function (mostly copied from gtkcalendar.c) for getting

used if possible.

If a container is not clip-to-allocation, then its get_paint_volume()
needs to include the paint volumes of all of its children, since they
(or their children) may paint outside the container's allocation.
Also, if the superclass get_paint_volume() returns FALSE, then the
subclass should return FALSE too.

MetaPlugin wraps a bunch of compositor (and plain metacity) methods
that we can just call ourselves, so just do that. (Presumably this
dates back to some ancient time when it was imagined that plugins
wouldn't need access to the full metacity API.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654639
Rather than constantly asking mutter for the MetaScreen, and then
figuring out the MetaDisplay/Display/etc from there, just keep track

When porting to the new gnome-menus API in commit 8f3bdd4f1, the
initial loading of settings apps was left out, so settings panels
are neither found nor can be launched from the top panel menus.
The js modules have so many imports back and forth that it's pretty
much guaranteed that if you import even one of them, you'll end up
importing all of them, including ui.status.bluetooth and
ui.status.network. So fix up the typelib include paths the same way
gnome-shell-jhbuild does, so we can find everything.

Ideally, this would be an entirely-JS implementation, but we have a
couple of issues with gjs and gobject-introspection to work around, so

modal style very similar to the EndSession dialog.
Implementations of ask-question and ask-password will follow shortly.

The sniffer is a simple helper process, activated as a DBus service,
that tries to crawl as many files as possible in the provided target
directory (i.e. the new mount's root), for a maximum amount of time -
which is set here to 1.5 seconds (i.e. it will crawl either all the
files in the directory tree, or as many as it can before the specified
timeout expires).
Crawled files are ordered by their content type, and a generic estimation
of the type of files composing the directory is returned to the caller,
using generic 'x-content/*' mimetypes.
The process will then set an autoquit timeout on itself, which can be
disabled by setting the env variable HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_PERSIST for
debugging purposes. The HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_DEBUG env variable can also be
set to enable debugging output.

The cogl path pads the corners out to the maximum corner radius to make the
math and painting logic easier. Unfortunately, when the radius exceeds the

It'd be extremely complicated to fix this properly in the Cogl code,
so take the Cairo fallback.

jhbuild will default to srcdir != builddir in the future for various

The enum generation rules were just broken and both did
cd $(srcdir) and $(addprefix $(srcdir)).
Also, remove an unnecessary $(addprefix) from the GIR sources; thanks
to Dan Winship for pointing out that make will look in both srcdir and
builddir, so it's not necessary to add a prefix explicitly. Doing so
breaks obviously when adding the sourcedir to a builddir file.

As the Shell does more than observing channels (users can interact with them),
it has to be an Handler as well. We have to make sure that all the new
incoming text channels are handled by the Shell by default, so we make it an
Approver as well.
From an user point of view, the only difference is that Empathy's tray icon
will stop blicking when receiving new channels.
We rely on ChannelDispatcher.DelegateChannels() and PresentChannel() to
interact with Empathy. Those methods have been implemented in
telepathy-mission-control 5.9.0 and telepathy-glib 0.15.0.
shell_global_get_memory_info() is a new function which extracts a few
global counters we have already, namely glibc's mallinfo, spidermonkey's
JSGC_BYTES, and gjs' counters for boxed/object/etc wrappers.
There is some slight overlap with perf; ultimately though I'd
like this function to do some more extensive analysis, so it wouldn't
be quite the same.
perf is going to be mainly concerned with how big the whole process
over time is; memory_info is for debugging memory leaks.

A new envrionment variable GNOME_SHELL_ENABLE_CLEANUP is added which
