Package: gnome-shell

Severity: important

We have a GSettings override to set Debian-appropriate apps to appear in
the Dash in new installations, which means that upstream changes to the
list of apps in the Dash are not reflected in Debian.
Currently in Debian we have:
> favorite-apps=[
> 'firefox-esr.desktop',
> 'org.gnome.Evolution.desktop',
> 'rhythmbox.desktop',
> 'libreoffice-writer.desktop',
> 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop',
> 'org.gnome.Software.desktop',
> 'yelp.desktop'
> ]
— debian/gnome-shell.gsettings-override
overriding upstream's:
> org.gnome.Epiphany.desktop
> org.gnome.Calendar.desktop
> gnome.Nautilus.desktop
> org.gnome.Software.desktop
> org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop
> org.gnome.Calculator.desktop
— data/default-apps/dash.txt
Epiphany → Firefox seems a reasonable swap. I believe Fedora does the same.
Upstream used to have Firefox in this position here too.
Do we want Calendar instead of Evolution? Upstream replaced Evolution with
Geary and Calendar in 2019 (commit d0507ec6 "Update default favorite apps
list", https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/907) and
then removed Geary in 2021 (80e22740 "schemas: Define default app grid
arrangement", https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1700).
We should probably remove Rhythmbox? We dropped it from the gnome
metapackage. Upstream replaced it with gnome-music in 2019
(commit d0507ec6 again) before dropping it entirely in 2025
(commit fb289fa0 "data: Reorganize default apps",
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3642).
I don't know whether Libreoffice Writer is there intentionally, or just
because upstream used to have OpenOffice and then Libreoffice. It was
removed upstream in 2014 (6a142c42 "Remove some apps from the default
favourite apps list", https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735682).
Adding Yelp (help browser) seems reasonable, although upstream never did.
TextEditor was added in 2024 by commit c991239c "data: Add Text Editor to
the dash by default" with justification "to prevent it from being too empty
by default", so I think we only need to do that if our list becomes very
short. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3135
Calculator was added in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3642 with no
justification that I can see.

Architecture: source
Version: 48.2-3
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers

Changed-By: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
Closes: 1099579 1104630
Changes:
gnome-shell (48.2-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* Adjust wording of previous changelog entry to reflect that gnome-music
is still installed by default
* Release to unstable
.
gnome-shell (48.2-2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* Summarize upstream changes in previous changelog entry
* d/gnome-shell.gsettings-override: Update default pinned apps for trixie.
The pinned (favourite) apps appear in the Dash (the bottom panel),
instead of appearing in the main app grid.
This file is a Debian-specific override for upstream's default list.
The changes compared with previous versions in Debian:
- Remove Rhythmbox. We no longer recommend a specific music player for
GNOME; users are welcome to install Amberol, GNOME Music, Lollypop,
Rhythmbox or any other music player of their choice.
- Remove LibreOffice Writer. Pinned apps don't appear in the app grid,
and it seems inconsistent to have Writer in the Dash (and not the
app grid) but every other LibreOffice component such as Calc in the
app grid (not the dash).
- Add gnome-text-editor, matching upstream.
- Add gnome-calculator, matching upstream.
The changes compared with upstream:
- Replace Epiphany (GNOME Web) with Firefox ESR, matching what we
install by default
- Replace GNOME Calendar with Evolution
- Add Yelp (GNOME Help)
This doesn't necessarily have any effect for existing users:
if the user has pinned or unpinned an app at least once, once,
then their list of pinned apps is saved and will be unaffected
by this override. Please test with a completely new installation,
a newly-created test user, or a user with an empty home directory.
(Closes: #1099579)
* d/patches: Move im-config from main app grid to the System folder,
as requested by Jeremy Bícha on #1099579.
A known issue is that this only has an effect for completely new
installations or newly-created users: if the user has logged in at
least once, then their app -> folder mapping is saved, even if they
never explicitly modified it.

gnome-shell (48.2-1) experimental; urgency=medium
