(cherry picked from commit f6375b5)
Add `webkitgtk_6_0` typelib needed by `gnome-shell-portal-helper`.
When NetworkManager connectivity check is enabled, GNOME will pop up a notification when a captive portal is detected. Clicking the notification _should_ launch a WebKit browser window allowing you to log in to the network. Without including the typelib, this fails with the following error in the journal: `JS ERROR: Error: Requiring WebKit, version 6.0: Typelib file for namespace 'WebKit', version '6.0' not found`.
You can enable NetworkManager connectivity checks with the following NixOS config:
```nix
networking = {
networkmanager = {
enable = true;
settings = {
connectivity = {
enabled = true;
uri = "http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt";
interval = 300;
};
};
};
};
```
To test this, you need to connect to a public WiFi that requires clicking through a log in page or simulate a captive portal in some other way. You can also test launching the authentication window directly with a script similar to the following. This will not work prior to the fix.
```bash
gdbus call --session \
--dest org.gnome.Shell.PortalHelper \
--object-path /org/gnome/Shell/PortalHelper \
--method org.gnome.Shell.PortalHelper.Close \
"/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1"
gdbus call --session \
--dest org.gnome.Shell.PortalHelper \
--object-path /org/gnome/Shell/PortalHelper \
--method org.gnome.Shell.PortalHelper.Authenticate \
"/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1" \
"http://example.com" \

Friendly asking if you could review this PR @bobby285271 @jtojnar @dasj19 of the GNOME team :) Especially the mutter 49.3 update contains important fixes for GNOME's fractional scaling and an annoying bug with a second monitor attached, namely:

Backport Gnome updates #490335 and #483366. Also includes #482791 (to make the github-actions bot happy) and #485764.
Supersedes #488388.
I could cherry-pick everything cleanly, except for
libglycin, since much has changed for the package (see history: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commits/master/pkgs/by-name/li/libglycin/package.nix) and since this commit: df85a0c libglycin uses the gnome tarball as source instead of the gitlab.I thought, backporting this change is not the idea of unstable/stable branch, and therefore I just updated the version with my own commit. Looking forward to feedback on this! Using nixpkgs-review I was able to build libglycin and loupe (which uses libglycin as a dependency) and tested its functionality, so it does work.
