Bug Description

The panel menus (from network to system) open on the wrong display in a multi monitor setup under the following circumstances:
* left display has UI scaling 2.0
* right display has UI scaling 1.0
* menu is clicked on the left display
The menu flies out on the right display although it was clicked on the left one.
This does not happen when the non-scaled display is on the left, or when the menu is clicked on the right display.

[Test Case]
0. Two monitor setup needed.
1. Open System settings, display panel
2. Change the scaling of the left display to 2.0
3. Change the scaling of the right display to 1.0
4. Ensure "Monitor with bigger controls" is selected (so that everything is scaled up)
5. Open a nautilus window in the left display
6. Open a menu (from the top panel)
7. Make sure the menu is correctly display in the left display

[Regression Potential]
Elements are shown in the wrong monitor

  [ Michal Hruby ]
  * Split out dconf schemas into separate package

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Make sure we check if the Quicklist or Alt+F1 key nav is open (so we
    can close them) Bore checking if something as a WM grab. As we cant
    open the hud is in Quicklist or KeyNav anymore. (LP: #1353167)

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * Changed log message on failure to open xpathselect library from an
    error to a warning. The xpathselect library is used for
    introspection during automated test runs. It is not an error for
    this library to be unavailable in normal successful operating
    conditions. (LP: #1345296)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Add an arrow activator in the lockscreen. (LP: #1332509)
  * Allow a distinct pam config file for greeter and for lock-screen.
    (LP: #1305440)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * Autopilot, Switcher: use correct right/left scroll buttons for
    next/prev mouse selection (LP: #1353383)
  * UScreen, PanelService: get monitor at position, ignoring pre-
    multipled Gdk scale factor Get monitor position based on absolute
    coordinates, ignoring the pre-multipled scaling factor that Gdk
    applies to all the monitor sizes. In this way we get the proper
    monitor index for absolute coordinates, independently from the
    scaling factor. (LP: #1351591)
  * ApplicationLauncherIcon: make sure we close the dash if DnD is
    accepted And we're about to focus the application window(s) (LP:

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * When looking for the top-most valid window in a VP, also check if the window
    is focused if the window is set to Always on Top. This allows Launcher icon
    spread to work properly when a window is minimized an Always on Top exists in
    the group. (LP: #1131385)

    when hiding the Hud. Fixes issue when "Always on Top" windows are present.
