Freeze break requests for GNOME Shell

[Florian Müllner <fmuellner gnome org>]

Hey,

I'd like to get approval to land patches for the following bugs:

   (1) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708218

        The (alt-f2) run dialog is disabled when the screen is locked;
however, if the dialog is
        already open at that point (e.g. automatic lock after a
timeout), then the prompt will
        still be available on top of the screen shield.
        We definitively don't want the ability to run arbitrary
commands in a locked session,
        so we should close the dialog in that case.
        The patch in question is small and simple, which should make
it very safe.

  (2) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708324 /
       https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706577

       Both network and keyring password prompts can grow too wide
horizontally (and even
       overflow the dialog itself) - bug 706577 has a screenshot, and
bug 708324 is easy to
       reproduce. Admittedly this is a polish issue (e.g. the dialogs'
functionality is not affected),
       but it looks obviously broken.
       The patches in bug 708324 are trivial and safe, however they
require two additional patches
       from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703833, which
port the dialogs from
       our private StTable widget to a "standard" ClutterTableLayout.
       While the patches themselves are fairly small and
straightforward as well, there is an obvious
       risk in swapping one widget implementation by another one, even
with both having a common
       ancestry. I have been running with the patches applied locally
without any obvious regressions
       since early July though, so I do think that the benefits
outweigh this risk.


Cheers,
Florian
