GFileMonitor takes great care to sample the thread-default main context
at the time that it is created in order that events can be dispatched to
the correct thread when they come in.
The inotify GFileMonitor implementation uses a global file descriptor
shared between all watches. It has to poll this file descriptor from
somewhere so it arbitrarily picks the default main context.
The problem with that is that the user might not be running it.
Let's use the GLib worker thread for this instead. It's guaranteed to
be running if you need it, and this is exactly the sort of problem it
was meant to solve.

The default GNOME 3.10 login process right now has gdm spawn a session
for the login screen, retaining the X server, but closing the session
bus. Right now in this scenario many GNOME components such as
gnome-settings-daemon attempt to "clean up" on shutdown by releasing
their owned names.
But they're shutting down because the session bus went away, so
releasing the name is pointless, and presently spews an error into the
journal.
This patch avoids that error spew, which helps system administrators
find *real* problems.

Add a missing Name entry, and add a terminal ; to the Actions
entry in org.gtk.test.dbusappinfo.desktop. desktop-file-validate
still contains about the DBusActivatable entry and about the
missing Exec entries. The former will go away when desktop-file-validate
gets updated for the latest spec revision.
Update GCancellableSource to call g_source_set_ready_time() when its
cancellable is cancelled, rather than manually checking the state of
the cancellable from prepare() and check().
This means that we now need to use g_cancellable_connect() rather than
g_signal_connect() at construction time, to avoid the connect/cancel
race condition. Likewise, use g_cancellable_disconnect() to avoid the
disconnect/cancel race condition when freeing the source. (In fact,
that was necessary in the earlier code as well, and might have
occasionally caused spurious criticals or worse.)

GPollableSource and GSocket's "broken" source never trigger on their
own, so with the changes to GSources in the last cycle, their check
and prepare functions are unnecessary (and undesired).

The unix input/output streams were using a gio-only source type that
was mostly identical to GUnixFDSource. Get rid of that source type
and just use GUnixFDSource instead.

For the glib-defined source types, and any source type that defines a
closure callback but not a closure marshal, use
g_cclosure_marshal_generic. And then remove all the other remaining
source closure marshals.

A counterpart for parsing of detailed actions into (name, target) pairs,
this new function prints them back.
We also add a new function to check for validity of action names. Only
valid action names are allowed when printing. Parsing accepts _some_
invalid names for backwards compatibility.

If the default route is via a device rather than a particular IP
address, then neither RTA_DST nor RTA_GATEWAY will be present in the
RTM_NEWROUTE message, and so GNetworkMonitorNetlink would ignore it,
and then think there was no default route. (This could happen with
certain kinds of VPNs, if they were set to route all traffic through
the VPN.)
Fix this by recognizing routes that specify RTA_OIF ("output
interface") instead of RTA_GATEWAY.

Add a fairly realistic testcase that ensures that GDesktopAppInfo with
DBusActivatable=true can successfully talk to GApplication for a variety
of purposes.

A previous version of the patch had OnlyShowIn support for desktop file
actions. This was removed from the spec and the patch rewritten, but
this bit of documentation slipped through. Remove it.
For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664444
Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.

It's possible to get a org.freedesktop.Properties.GetAll call even if we
have no readable properties in the introspection, in which case we
should return the empty list in the usual way.
We should certainly _not_ be dispatching to the method call handler of
an interface which has no properties (since it will not be expecting
this).
Add a check to make sure that there is at least one readable property
before assuming that a NULL get_property handler implies that we want to
handle properties asynchronously.
Add a testcase that was failing before the change and works after it.

We don't use # or other forms of links in the section headings.
We also capitalize them and don't put a final period.
This commit corrects several headings to follow these rules.
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.

We do a bunch of new validity checks for return values in response to
calls on the D-Bus property API but we miss the 'goto out' in one case.
Add it.

Add some type checking for the values returned from async property
handling calls, similar in spirit to the type checking we do for normal
method calls.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698375
The existing advice in the documentation to "simply" register the
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface if you want to handle
properties asynchronously is pretty unreasonable. If you want to handle
this interface you have to deal with all properties for all interfaces
on the path, and you have to do all of the checking for yourself. You
also have to provide your own introspection data.
Introduce a new convention for dealing with properties asynchronously.
If the user provides NULL for their get_property() or set_property()
functions in the vtable and has properties registered then the
properties are sent to the method_call() handler. We get lucky here
that this function takes an "interface_name" parameter that we can set
to "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties".
We also do the user the favour of setting the GDBusPropertyInfo on the
GDBusMethodInvocation for their convenience (for much the same reasons
as they might want the already-available GDBusMethodInfo).
Add a testcase as well as a bunch of documentation about this new
feature.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698375
Separate the code for validating a method call from the code for
actually scheduling it for dispatch.
This will allow property Get/Set/GetAll calls to be dispatched to the
method_call handler without duplicating a lot of code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698375
We presently do a lot of checks on property sets (signature check,
correct interface, property exists, etc.) from the worker thread before
dispatching the call to the user's thread. The typecheck, however, is
saved until just before calling the user's vfunc, in their thread.
My best guess is that this was done to save having to unpack the value
from the tuple twice (since we don't unpack it until we're just about
the call the user).
This patch moves the check to the same place as all of the other checks.
The purpose of this change is to allow for sharing this check with the
(soon-to-be-introduced) case of handing property sets from
method_call().
This change has a minor side effect: error messages generated by sending
invalid values to property sets are no longer guaranteed to be correctly
ordered with respect to the void returns from successful property sets.
They will instead be correctly ordered with respect to the other error
messages.

When parsing an address, we need to re-set "len" between IPv4 and
IPv6, since WSAStringToAddress() might set it to sizeof(struct sin_addr)
when trying to parse the string as IPv4, even if it fails. Also, we
need to make sure to not pass strings to WSAStringToAddress() that it
will accept but that we don't want it to.
When stringifying an address, we need to clear the sockaddr before
filling it in, so we don't accidentally end up with an unwanted
scope_id or the like.

Previously, g_file_copy() would (on Unix) create files with the
default mode of 644. For applications which might at user request
copy arbitrary private files such as ~/.ssh or /etc/shadow, a
world-readable copy would be temporarily exposed.
This patch is suboptimal in that it *only* fixes g_file_copy()
for the case where both source and destination are instances of
GLocalFile on Unix.
The reason for this is that the public GFile APIs for creating files
allow very limited control over the access permissions for the created
file; one can either say a file is "private" or not. Fixing
this by adding e.g. g_file_create_with_attributes() would make sense,
except this would entail 8 new API calls for all the variants of
_create(), _create_async(), _replace(), _replace_async(),
_create_readwrite(), _create_readwrite_async(), _replace_readwrite(),
_replace_readwrite_async(). That can be done as a separate patch
later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699959
Previously, we called g_file_query_info() *again* on the source at the
very end of the copy. This has the lame semantics that if the source
happened to be deleted, we would fail to apply attributes to the
destination. This could even be a security flaw.
This commit changes things so that we query info from the source
*stream* after opening - i.e. on Unix we use the proper fstat() and
friends. That way we operate more atomically.

The freedesktop application specification is largely overlapping the
GLib application D-Bus interface but implementing it will allow for
applications to be launched directly from desktop files, which we want.
We keep the old Gtk interface for compatibility reasons and because it
has some functionality not in the freedesktop spec (Busy state,
CommandLine, etc.).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699259
Since services are based on D-Bus activation and desktop files are
supposed to be named like the busname for DBusActivatable applications
and since gnome-shell wants wmclass equal to the desktop file name, we
therefore want wmclass equal to the application ID in this case.
wmclass is determined from the prgname, which is otherwise pretty
pointless to set to some random thing in $(libexec) for a D-Bus service,
so set that to the appid.
This means that for D-Bus services, the following things are now all the
same:
- application ID
- prgname
- wmclass property set on all windows
- desktop file name
- well-known bus name
There are not many applications running as D-Bus services at present so
this shouldn't impact anybody except for gnome-clocks (where this change
will be fixing a bug) and gnome-terminal.

OS X's getaddrinfo() only supports IPv6 scope IDs that are interface
names, not numbers. So use if_indextoname() to get the name of an
interface and construct an address using that.
