So far we have assumed that whether or not a window is interesting
is static. In general this is the case, but as it is legal for the
underlying properties to change at any time, there are of course
offenders that actually do this (flash I'm looking at ya).
While we used the property to determine whether a window should be
tracked or not, the worst case was showing windows that should be
hidden or missing windows that should be shown.
However as we nowadays base an app's running state on the number of
interesting windows, we need to be more careful in order to avoid
ending up with running apps with no windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723308
With the lastest ShellApp changes, an app is considered stopped
when the last "interesting" window is closed. However the app
may still track non-interesting windows, so if we unref the
running state on the state transition, we hit an assertion later-on
when trying to remove the non-interesting window.
Fix this by keeping the running state around until the last window
is closed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722840
An app should be considered running if it has at least one "interesting"
window, however the code considers an app running if it has at least
one tracked window. This was fine while we were only tracking interesting
windows, but since commit d21aa0d85f this is no longer the case.
So keep track of the number of interesting windows as well and use that
to determine the running state.

Using the new list_actions() API in Gio, add entries for static
actions specified in .desktop files in the right-click app menus,
in the dash, app well and search.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669603
Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do
means that we may get properties that should be based on all windows,
like the last time the application was used, wrong.
Just track all windows and filter out non-interesting windows manually
in the one place we actually care about the difference.

Rather than scanning all apps for searching, use Ryan's new desktop
file index and the glib support APIs for app searching instead of our
own system.

Systemd-for-the-user-session would also do this, but that's a deeply
invasive change that I may not actually get to this cycle. This
change is tiny and non-invasive, but provides an important benefit:
You can actually reliably tell *which* applications are logging which
messages (assuming they're launched by the shell).
This actually complements a recent change in DBus:
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68559
which does a similar thing for bus activated apps.

shell_app_compare() (which is only used as sort function for
shell_app_system_get_running() nowadays) currently takes the
visibility of an app's windows into account, e.g. applications
with visible windows (non-minimized windows on current workspace)
sort earlier than applications without.
This translate traditional window-switcher behavior to applications,
but we stopped sorting by workspace in the app-switcher a while ago,
and with the new auto-minimization behavior of fullscreen windows
it is more confusing than helpful - in fact, since mutter commit
7e61ef09369a we no longer do this for the window list, so it
makes sense to apply the same to application sorting.

The point of fading the icon is to make the text displayed over the
icon more legible. In RTL layouts, the text is displayed on the left
of the icon, so fading the right-hand-side of the icon doesn't work
well.

This includes a rename from the G* namespace to the Gtk* one, which
will help us with introspecting this code. Note that this removes
some of the custom code we added to GActionMuxer to relay event times
to the remote action group. We'll add this back soon.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700257
Currently we assume that GTK_UNIQUE_BUS_NAME is shared between all
windows of an application. This assumption does not hold true for
applications that specify G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE, so make sure
to update the menu as necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676238
ShellApp keeps track of windows sorted by most recently used first
which means that when raising windows we need to start from the end of
the list to finish with the correct stacking order.
This patch just makes the code agree with the comment which was
already there.

.desktop files have been designed for browsing, so the existing
fields often produce insufficient results when used for search.
gnome-control-center used X-GNOME-Keywords for that purpose, which
has now been standardized as Keywords. It makes sense for us to
support it in gnome-shell as well (and encourage its use outside
of settings panels).

The application proxy is created asynchrously after the dbus name
is registed. This means that when tracking the first window (and
therefore creating the first window GActionGroup) there is no
app proxy yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633028
It's not guaranteed that the application DBus proxy appears before
we receive the first focus event from the toplevel window.
Ensure that the first method to access the action muxer creates it if
hasn't been created yet.
GTK+ also exports window-specific actions, by putting the object path
for the exported action group in the _DBUS_OBJECT_PATH X property.
We add this action group to the app's muxer with a 'win' prefix,
since that is what the exported menu expects. Whenever the focus
window changes, we update the window-specific actions of its
application, and emit notify::action-group to cause the app
menu to be updated.
GDBusActionGroup api has changed again, adapt to that.
Also, use a GActionMuxer to add the 'app.' prefix to actions,
instead of manually stripping it out of the action names.
In the future, the muxer will also contain per-window actions
with a 'win.' prefix.
GMenuProxy has been replaced by GDBusMenuModel, and the object path
has been moved (now needs to be retrieved from the AppMenu GApplication
property).
Update the test to prefix each action with "app." as documented,
and use a GtkApplicationWindow instead of a plain GtkWindow.
GDBusActionGroup and GMenuProxy are new objects in GIO 2.32 that
help with accessing menus and actions of remote applications.
This patch makes it possible for the shell to associate an
application with a dbus name and from that a GMenu, that will
be shown as the application menu.

Not all desktop files tracked by the shell have
Exec lines. This could be because they're actually
run by another process, for instance, and the desktop
file is merely there to provide metadata. For example,
nautilus-pastebin provides a desktop file without an
Exec line.
The shell currently crashes if one of these partial
desktop files is installed and the user attempts to
search from the overview.
commit 37726a4cb6 fixed
a similar crasher.
This commit fixes the next one lower in the code.

Instead of saving the last_used_time per-app, grab the maximum time for all
windows. The logic is less hard to keep track of, and it solves some edge
case issues where windows that no longer exist update the user time, even
if none of the other windows have been used recently.
