Evan Welsh 8fb8f7f827 init: Move Meta main loop into JavaScript after GJS context is initialized
gjs now has an internal mainloop that it can spin to resolve
module imports. That loop uses the thread default context,
so its possible that other sources, namely from mutter, get
dispatched when iterating the context. If that happens before
mutter is properly initialized, this will lead to a crash.

GjsContext needs to iterate its internal mainloop when initializing
to resolve internal modules, to avoid iterating Meta's mainloop and
triggering events before Meta is ready we will initialize the Shell
global and thus the GjsContext (js_context) before Meta.

Once GjsContext is initialized, we can call meta_context_setup().
Once Meta is setup and started, we'll run init.js which uses GJS'
internal promises API to set a "mainloop hook". The mainloop hook
is run immediately after the module returns so GJS will not attempt
to iterate the main loop again before exiting.

Also adjust the 'headlessStart' test to not wait for the
MetaContext::started signal, as that signal has now already
been emitted when the code is executed.

GNOME Shell

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.

For more information about GNOME Shell, including instructions on how to build GNOME Shell from source and how to get involved with the project, see the project wiki.

Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. Please refer to the Schedule wiki page to see the supported versions.

Contributing

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. If a merge request fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as panel: or status/network:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit message body than too little.

Default branch

The default development branch is main. If you still have a local checkout under the old name, use:

git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
