Settings no longer exposes a slider for the keyboard brightness,
leaving keyboard shortcuts as the only way of adjusting it.
This is good enough in most cases, because devices with keyboard
backlight usually include corresponding keys on their keyboard.
However for devices without those keys, it would be good for the
settings to be exposed somewhere again. Quick settings seems like
a more appropriate place than "proper" Settings, since it gives
quick access that doesn't require a major focus change.

For the time being this mostly means re-exporting functions
from the shared module. However openPrefs() is now only
available to extensions, and we stop exporting both
getCurrentExtension() and setExtensionManager() to either
extensions or prefs.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2837>
ExtensionUtils was originally used for shared functions between
the extension system and the (old) prefs-tool, but then gained
useful API meant for extensions themselves.
It's a bit weird to mix the two, so split out the extension convenience
API into a separate module.
We will soon split up the module further, and add specific "flavors"
for extensions and preferences, with the current code providing a
shared base for both.
That should explain both the new location and the odd module name. :-)

Once environment.js is an ES module we need to ensure we can dynamically
specify the version for required GI dependencies such as Clutter.
Moving dependency version setup to dependencies.js ensures gi.require
calls are done before environment.js imports any utilities.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2822>
The environment module is used to initialize the environment, yet it
currently also defines the adjustAnimationTime() function.
Ideally it should not export any utility functions, in particular
once converted to ESM.
The function cannot be moved to the existing Utils module, as that
depends on an initialized environment, and can therefore not be
imported from environment.js, so use that opportunity to group
together several animation helpers in a new animationUtils module.

`toLocaleFormat` is now `formatDateWithCFormatString` and formatTime and
formatTimeSpan are moved into dateUtils.
Instead of overriding system.clearDateCaches, add a helper in dateUtils.

Now that scripts are loaded as external modules, there's no reason
anymore for bundling them with the gnome-shell executable. Just
move the scripts into a dedicated folder in tests/ and run them
from there.

Sandboxed apps that run without a window are detected by the new
background monitoring service, introduced by xdg-desktop-portal.
We have an opportunity to improve the predictability of the desktop
and ensure that application state in transparently reported to users
by showing these apps, and allowing them to closed.
Add a new background apps menu to the quick settings, that is always
added at the bottom of the popover, and has a slightly custom, flat
style applied to it.
Show background-running apps in this menu, and allow closing them
by first attempting to execute the 'quit' action through D-Bus, and
if that fails, sending SIGKILL to the process.

Now that the old system menu has been ported over, we can move
the power toggle to its intended place. The main difference to
the stand-alone toggle is that the button now uses its natural
size rather than the fixed size of regular quick items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2393>
The aggregate menu with its submenus isn't well-suited for simple
on-off actions, so we didn't expose the global color-scheme support
that was introduced last cycle.
Quick settings on the other hand are a natural fit for actions like
this, so add a corresponding toggle.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2392>
The quick settings menu is a popover that arranges items in a
reflowing, homogeneous grid. Grid children may span multiple
columns, but not rows.
For now the QuickSettingsMenu that contains the grid is just a
convenience wrapper around the layout manager that does the heavy
lifting. The two will become more intertwined when we add support
for menu toggles though, so the custom menu type is unfortunately
needed.

Introduce a new class, EventEmitter, which implements signal
handling for pure JavaScript classes. EventEmitter still
utilizes GJS' addSignalMethods internally.
EventEmitter allows static typechecking to understand the
structure of event-emitting JS classes and makes creating
child classes simpler.
The name 'EventEmitter' mirrors a common name for this pattern
in Node and in JS libraries.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2043>
The module exports a `addObjectSignalMethods()` method that extends
the provided prototype with `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()`
methods.
In its simplest form, `connectObject()` looks like the regular
`connect()` method, except for an additional parameter:
```js
this._button.connectObject('clicked',
() => this._onButtonClicked(), this);
```
The additional object can be used to disconnect all handlers on the
instance that were connected with that object, similar to
`g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_data()` (which cannot be used
from introspection).
For objects that are subclasses of Clutter.Actor, that will happen
automatically when the actor is destroyed, similar to
`g_signal_connect_object()`.
Finally, `connectObject()` allows to conveniently connect multiple
signals at once, similar to `g_object_connect()`:
```js
this._toggleButton.connect(
'clicked', () => this._onClicked(),
'notify::checked', () => this._onChecked(), this);
```

Ultimately, we want to add support for GDM's new ChoiceList
PAM extension. That extension allows PAM modules to present
a list of choices to the user. Before we can support that
extension, however, we need to have a list control in the
login-screen/unlock screen. This commit adds that control.
For the most part, it's a copy-and-paste of the gdm userlist,
but with less features. It lacks API specific to the users,
lacks the built in timed login indicator, etc. It does feature
a label heading.

GJS added a console module that extensions may start using. To ensure that
extensions using console.log() and similar functions don't show up as
'Gjs-Console' in users' system logs, we should call setConsoleLogdomain()
with 'GNOME Shell'.
This GJS API addition is only accessible using ECMAScript Modules (ESM),
this commit moves shell startup to a small init.js module and adapts
CI jobs to either handle or ignore it.
We can drop the .jscheckignore file when future versions of SpiderMonkey
allow for compile checks without validating module specifiers.

There is a big overlap between the app menu in the top bar and the
context menu of app icons. It makes sense to unify the two both
from a design- and from a code perspective, so split out the more
modern one into a separate module as basis for a shared class.

The reason this wasn't using the Gio.DBus.makeProxyWrapper() convenience API is that it passes custom flags to the proxy, and that wasn't supported by the wrapper at the time.
As this is now possible, this commit migrates us to the new API.

Screen magnification is the compositor's business, not that of "random"
unprivileged tools. And for cases where a more specialised behavior is
wanted, an extension likely does a better job than a consumer of the
D-Bus API.
In addition to that, exporting the interface has been broken for an
unknown time, because the object that holds the implementation isn't
referenced and thus ends up being garbage collected, whoops.
And last but not least, this gets rid of the last public D-Bus name
that isn't clearly in the system namespace (org.gnome.Shell,
org.gnome.Mutter, org.gtk).

While the performance framework was originally written to collect
performance metrics, driving the shell by an automated script is
also useful to ensure that basic functionality is working.
Add such a basic test, initially checking top bar menus, notifications
and the overview.
Eventually it would be nice to separate the automatic scripting from
gathering performance metrics, but IMHO that can wait until we switch
from gjs' custom imports system to ES modules.

Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.

The previous commit implemented a new CredentialManager interface to
facilitate adding additional providers for pre-authenticating the user
at the login screen.
This commit implements a new credential manager using that interface
for vmware deployments.

Commit 4cda61a1 added support for pre-authenticated logins in
oVirt environments. This feature prevents a user from having
to type their password twice (once to the oVirt management machine,
and then immediately again in the provisioned guest running gnome-shell).
That feature is currently oVirt specific, but a similar feature would
be useful in non-oVirt based virt farm environments.
Toward that end, this commit generalizes the various aspects of the
oVirt integration code, so that it can be reused in a subsequent
commit for adding single sign on support in vmware deployments, too.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1983
The workspace.js file is quite large and is a bit confusing when it
comes to the term "window" in there, because it can either refer to a
WindowPreview of a complete window or to an individual window like an
attached dialog.
So try to avoid that confusion and split the new WindowPreview class and
its WindowPreviewLayout layout manager out into a new windowPreview.js
file.

Filter the apps shown on the desktop and in search results according to
whether they are blacklisted by the user’s parental controls.
This supports dynamically updating the filter during the user’s session.
This adds an optional dependency on libmalcontent. If that’s unavailable, no
parental controls filtering will occur.

In order to cater for emoji panel usage, we want something like PageIndicators
except:
- It should have horizontal disposition
- It should not be animatable (?)
- It should not be reactive
Separated PageIndicators into a base, non-animated widget, and an
AnimatedPageIndicators that can be used on appDisplay.js. Reactiveness is
set through an extra method, and layout is set as a construct argument.
Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application

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.

Add an indicator for when there is something access the display server
remotely. This could be 1) remote desktop, 2) screen cast or 3) remote
control, but all effectively applications using
org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast or org.gnome.portal.RemoteDesktop as
well as gnome-remote-desktop using the corresponding org.gnome.Mutter
APIs directly.
As it is now, it'll simply show a single icon for when anything is
having an active session, and a single action "Turn off" that'll close
every active session.

We will now basically act as "policy provider" for thunderbolt
peripherals by using org.freedesktop.bolt service: when new
devices are connect and session is a unlocked user session
we will automatically enroll (authorize and store in the database)
them.
If new devices are connected but the session is locked a message
will be shown informing the user that the device needs to be
reconnected to properly work.
The org.freedesktop.bolt service is provided by the "bolt" daemon.
This is a ClutterInputMethod implementation using IBus underneath. The

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.
