Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

When the application is using its D-Bus backend, it is useful to be able
to export extra D-Bus objects at the right time, i.e. *before* the application
tries to own the bus name. This is accomplished here by adding a hook
in GApplicationClass for this; and a corresponding hook that will be called
on unregistration to undo whatever the register hook did.
Bug #675509.
Provide public access to the GDBusConnect and object path that
GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these
things for themselves based on the application ID.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671249
For a number of reasons it might be useful to register the object paths
associated with a non-unique application so that the application can at
least field requests to its unique D-Bus name.

This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665737
Now that we're a GActionMap the story about propagating signals from our
(now-constant) internal action group is vastly simplified. If someone
calls g_application_set_action_group() then signals will stop working --
but this function is deprecated and they never worked before, so no big
loss there.

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
Allow the menu to be changed after registration. This is quite useful
for setting up the menus from the ::startup handler instead of having to
do it before registration because it lets you skip the work if you're
not the primary instance.
Rename g_application_set_menu to g_application_set_app_menu and make a
couple of fixups. Clarify the documentation about exactly what this
menu is meant to be.
Add g_application_set_menubar and document that as well.
To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652168
Call g_settings_sync() just before g_applcation_run() returns. This is
really the correct thing to do in every case that you're using GSettings
and it prevents every single application from having to do it for
themselves.
Closes bug #647419.
Add a flag to essentially short-circuit g_application_register(). The
application makes no attempt to acquire the bus name or check for
existing instances with that name. The application is never considered
as being 'remote' and all requests are handled locally.
Closes#646985.
* gio/application.c (g_application_real_command_line): Check that the
default signal handler is not the current one before complaining, because
it is not unusual for overloads to call the base class implementation as
a matter of habit.
g_application_real_open() and g_application_real_activate() already do this
extra check.
Some people are trying to write code that calls g_application_register()
then checks to see if we became the primary name owner before exporting
objects. This sort of approach worked with libdbus-1 because method
calls to the freshly-acquired name would not be dispatched until the
application returned to the mainloop. With GDBus, however, dispatches
can occur at any time (including in the brief space between acquiring
the name and actually registering the object).
Add documentation to make it clear that you should not expect this to
work.
Add support for passing the full contents of the environment to the
primary instance (by storing it in the platform_data) when
G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT is in the flags.
Makes explicit the fact that you are interacting with the individual
action rather than the group and removes potential namespace conflicts
with classes implementing the interface (like g_application_activate()
vs g_application_activate_action()).
Create the gobject property for it.
Tweak the logic of having a pending timeout at the time that the
application starts -- run the mainloop with a use count of zero if there
is a timeout active.
Callers who are using g_application_unregistered_try_new are
likely wanting to continue doing something else if _register()
fails. Change the semantics so that passing register=FALSE
unsets default-quit as well. This means that a later _register()
call will send Activate but continue the process.

- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
Like how we're handling activation, use GVariant for timestamps. To
avoid polluting the GtkApplication API with GVariants, we rename the
GApplication signals to "quit-with-data" and "action-with-data".
GtkApplication will then wrap those as just "quit" and "action".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621002
This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
