* Update globalmenu-extension to 3.0.1
- Reduce our memory footprint a bit, which wasn't really a lot anyway
- Avoid the use of the component manager for accessing commonly used
services, where "commonly used" means "accessed when building every
menu item". This should save some CPU cycles when building or
refreshing menus
- Try to recycle menuitems when they are removed from a menu by
adding contiguous blocks of removed items to a "free list" which
is emptied asynchronously, and reusing the items in this list when
new items are added in place of the removed items. This means that
refreshing the history menu contents when the menu is opened no
longer alters the menu structure, but results in a shifting of
properties between existing nodes instead. This has a few benefits:
+ With no layout changes, unity-panel-service doesn't request
the entire menu structure, which significantly reduces dbus traffic
and makes it much faster to refresh the menu contents
+ The size of the menu doesn't change when it is refreshed, which
eliminates the flicker that used to occur when opening the history
menu.
+ The HUD can refresh our menus now without triggering layout updates
(assuming that menu layout really hasn't changed, eg, by adding
a bookmark)
- Remove all use of the global observer service for sending our own
internal notifications around
- Clean up the way we ensure that the correct edit commands are
enabled by just installing our own popupshowing handler rather
than using an additional notification to fix things up after the
default handler runs
- Get rid of a static initializer
- Don't support older than Firefox 11
- Fix some GError leaks
- Hide the internal menu when creating a native menu, rather than
waiting for confirmation that the native menu is registered
successfully. We don't try to create a native menu if we don't
find a menu service to register the menu with anyway
- Keep menu contents updated whilst the menu is open, rather than
just whilst it is opening
