.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).

this.parent was ported from calling the parent class's method like
MessageTray.Notification.prototype._init.call(this, ...);. When
porting to Lang.Class, the 'this' parameter is now passed automatically, but
removing it was forgot in a few places. Fix these places.

It seems that Debian has their own prefixes in something like
debian-xterm.desktop. To properly do application matching in these cases,
we need to strip the debian- prefix.

We consider spacing and padding in _adjustIconSize, but as we use
the theme node from an actor which is not exposed to the CSS, we
miss the "real" values - correct this.

The workspace-switcher-popup background should be at 100%, not upscaled

Clear the ClutterClickAction state before starting the drag,
otherwise it will eat the first button event after the drag,
preventing a new drag from being started.

Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.

DashItem labels have initial delay before showing up, but once the
first label in the dash is visible (meaning the user is very likely
exploring things) and the pointer is moved along the dash, the label
will follow immediately.

The order of arguments passed to _lookupSource() was wrong, causing

- We should only call workspaceRemoved() for workspaces that are
  are actually being removed.
- When we have multiple monitors, a window on a secondary monitor is
  on all workspaces, so it ends up in all workspaces _allWindows
  lists, so we can't use previous presence in that list to determine
  whether we need to go ahead and add the actor; allWindows is simply
  the list of windows where we are listening  to notify::minimized.

Otherwise since the auto-activate flag is set for dbus messages, we
may re-vivify applications that have DBus service files.

Since the application proxy is created asynchronously, at the time
the GActionGroup (GActionMuxer) is created, there is no GDBusMenu yet.
Defer creating the menu in that case.
Also, clear out signal handlers if have no target application.

When VPN is active, and it's not the default routing, we should
show the vpn icon, rather than the physical connection.

There were various cases where we could lose track of a window and
leave the notify::minimized signal connect after the actor was destroyed
or the workspace removed. This could result in operations on a removed
workspace and assertion failures inside Mutter.

We need to remove the handlers when the workspace is removed, not
when the animation of it being removed finishes, or we can access
a destroyed workspace and triggger an assertion failure in Mutter.

We add a drag monitor to check whether the pointer is inside
the workspace selector, and update the visibility of the drop
placeholder consequently.

Cogl does not explicitly link against GL or GLES any more, and Clutter
master dropped the 'gl' pkg-config requirement because it introduced
unneeded and conflicting dependencies.

GNOME Shell still uses glXQuery* API, so it needs to explicitly link
against libGL.

Make sure that we don't leak oneshot timeout handlers in main.js and
polkitAuthenticationAgent.js by making the callback return false.

When st_theme_node_paint() was called with zero width or height and a theme
node with a shadow, we'd crash because we'd fail to allocate a texture with
an empty size, then unreference the NULL pointer.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668050

A new texture has undefined contents - when we're creating a shadow,
we need to clear the contents of the texture before drawing the border
and background into it.

g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value() adopts a floating reference,
so we don't also need to unreference it; fix by replacing the code
using a more compact form using the ^ convenience character in
GVariant type specifications. (Thanks to Ryan Lortie for the
suggestion.)

According to the GIO docs, sections can have labels too. We support
them by inserting a non reactive menu item at the beginning of the
section. This item is specially flagged to be ignored while processing
changed signals from the model (since it does not correspond to any
model item)

If there's a single small window (e.g. empathy chat) in the overview, it
looks usable, because it's as big as outside of the overview, but when
you start to type, overview search is launched, which is confusing.

Fix that by setting maximum scale for window clones to 0.7

In overview when closing a window and afterwards dragging a window it can
happen that you pick a wrong window or no window if windows' positions is
updated while initiating the drag.
Fix that by delaying window rearrangement when cursor is over a window.

shell_embedded_window_hide() can be called during widget destruction,
after the associated ClutterActor has been already cleared out.
Fix a crash in that case.

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.

DND code assumes it can query the size of the actor before parenting,
while StWidget asserts that get_preferred_size() is only called
after the actor is on stage. This fixes a crash while dragging
"Connect to..."

With GJS' GDBus implementation, we get the invocation paramters as an
array if we declare a method as async.
This is bad and not consistent with what GJS does for synchronous
methods, but it's the way it is, and other classes in gnome-shell
implement this correctly by exploding the array into its components in
the method implementation, but not the screenshot methods.
Also, we're supposed to return a value using the provided invocation
object, not with a callback now, so do that.
