Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
build-Define-test-dependencies.patch build: Define test dependencies
Ideally meson tests should just work without any pre-requisite build,
instead, we only need a configured build folder to work, but this does
not go as expected in gnome shell at the moment.

Since tests require generated files and compiled typelibs they don't
depend on, so just using `meson test -C build <test-name>` does not work
as expected.

So add test dependencies on test cases. We do not need to have per-test
dependencies right now since most of them share just the same
requirements, and this makes it easier to maintain

shell-app-Warn-instead-of-crashing-if-disposed-before-sta.patch shell/app: Warn instead of crashing if disposed before startup notification

This is currently easy to reproduce by launching and immediately closing
Chrome, then closing the shell. But automated crash reports show it can
also happen while using the shell, during a garbage collection run.

It's currently the top gnome-shell crasher in Ubuntu, and mostly with
Chromium/Electron apps. But regardless of the offender, we shouldn't
ever trust application behaviour to keep the shell alive.

debian/data-Add-im-config.desktop-to-System-folder.patch data: Add im-config.desktop to System folder
Debian installs this by default, but most users will only need to run
it once, or perhaps not at all.

Revert-main-Register-session-with-GDM-on-startup.patch Revert "main: Register session with GDM on startup"

This reverts commit 6703cacb559c74341ca88f2094d28973f323cde6.
