UIFe/FFe: Home lens ordering

Bug Description

== Feature ==

Changes the way categories are ordered during searches as requested by design. The most visible impact is that applications will not be on top if the match is only in the comment field of the desktop file.

== Issues causing need for exception ==

The branch was only partially finished before FF. Includes tests that make sure the feature works as expected by design.

Update: Unity 6.4 is revision 2632, so this is actually fix committed for Unity 6.6.

Sounds like a UIFe. Please contact docs and translators.

UIFe asked for at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2012-September/016842.html (+ubuntu-translators)

Hi Timo,

Thanks for the e-mail. If I understand it correctly, there are no
changes to translatable strings, so no objections from the translations
team.

Cheers,
David.

- The mouse will now cause the HUD buttons to change selection

- "Alt+Space" shortcut to reveal the window menu is not hardcoded, but a
Compiz key option. " (Hold)" should also be translated. Made all
Compiz plug-in names and all Compiz plug-in option names in
unityshell.cpp static constants.
- remove unity --reset, it's not anymore really needed now that we are
in stable days of unity and we moved to gsettings

value NULL, but then were never used

state) and PanelStyle context (LP: #1033935) (LP: #1045127)
(LP: #1046124) (LP: #1046126)
- Remove everything in the #ifndef USE_MODERN_COMPIZ_GL ifdefs and remove
the ifdefs alltogether. unity now requires compiz...
