Update GNOME to the latest upstream release.
== Detailed description ==
GNOME 3.8 continues development along the lines of 3.6:
* Building out the central features of GNOME 3:
- A new panel will allow to configure GNOME shell search, and applications can
provide search results to the shell
- The display of search results in the GNOME shell overview was redesigned
- Notifications can be configured in a new panel
- Privacy settings are collected in a new panel
- Sharing (mainly of data, in the local network) can be centrally controlled
in a new panel
* Support for OwnCloud in Online Accounts
* Better accessibility
* Improved IBus integration
- Modifier-only shortcuts can be set in the Keyboard panel
- IMEs can have menu items in the statusmenu (the whitelist was removed)
- Per-window changes of input source are possible again
- Nicer candidate popups
* New applications
- A note-taking app
- A new photo app
- A new clock app
* Fallback mode is going away in 3.8. Instead, there will be a set of
supported extensions that is grouped together in a 'classic' mode, which
provides a more GNOME 2-like user experience
