[ Reason ]

A new upstream bugfix release, which wasn't ready soon enough to be 
included in 13.0.

[ Impact ]

Various upstream bug fixes, listed in more detail in d/changelog, 
ranging from important to minor.

There's also a translation update for Thai, not shown in the diff.

[ Tests ]

An equivalent version has been in unstable since 2025-08-08 and in 
testing since 2025-08-14 with no regression reports. The proposed 
version works normally on a trixie system (gdm and a GNOME session).

I haven't attempted to reproduce specific bugs.

[ Risks ]

Key package for our default desktop, but the changes are reasonably 
well-targeted and seem low-risk. We have had good results from taking 
this particular project's stable-branch releases in the past.

Bumping the gjs dependency looks unexpected for a stable update, but the 
version of gjs in stable is newer than this anyway, so it doesn't 
actually make any practical difference.

Stylistic changes in js/dbusServices/extensions/ are not something I 
would have accepted in a stable branch if I was the upstream, but they 
seem to have considered it important enough to backport, and arbitrarily 
reverting this part seems riskier than keeping it.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
      (filtered to skip the translation update)
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
