In wheezy we added 28_network_user_connections.patch so unprivileged
users could create new network connections without having to provide
admin privileges.
This patch was dropped when 3.8 was merged from experimental.

We should restore this patch and forward port it to 3.16 and consider
fixing this for jessie as well.

Attached is the old patch for 3.4.
It doesn't apply anymore to 3.16 and needs to be forwarded ported and we
should reopen the discussion to get this merged upstream.

Wrong package.

These are the changes that were dropped from gnome-shell/not merged into
the experimental branch.


gnome-shell (3.4.2-7+deb7u1) stable; urgency=low

  [ Josselin Mouette ]
  * 30_lockup_gc.patch:
    + Run the GC a first time after 15 seconds, and next every 10
      minutes. This is to avoid running into a deadlock (which often
      happens the first time) and lose 10 minutes of work.
    + Add a watchdog thread to suicide the process after 10 seconds if
      the GC locks up.

  [ Sébastien Villemot ]
  * debian/patches/61-disable-restart-buttons.patch: new patch,
backported from
    upstream. Makes the 'disable-restart-buttons' option of gdm-shell work.
