gnome-shell as a preview only: this disables the "Large text"

protocol.

- Pop out last notification when mousing over summary area
- Don't time out the tray if the user is mousing towards it
+ Shell performance framework:

overview.

- Provide the feedback in the info bar when it is not possible
to create new workspace or remove the current workspace
- Visual tweaks
+ Run dialog:

properties
+ Many bug fixes for full-screen window handling

state, then block the wrong functions once and for all
