+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] layout: Make sure startup animation completes
+
+We currently complete the animation using an onComplete handler,
+which only runs if the corresponding transition was stopped when
+finished.
+
+While it is unexpected that the transition is interrupted, it can
+apparently happen under some circumstances (like VMs with qlx).
+The consequences of that are pretty bad, mainly due to the cover
+pane that prevents input during the animation not getting removed.
+
+Address this by always completing the animation when the transition
+is stopped, regardless of whether it completed or not.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] background: Pass cancellable when querying file info
+
+Otherwise it is possible that the operation completes successfully
+after the background has been destroyed, which will throw a warning
+(caused by accessing the this._fileWatches object after it has been

+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] background: Do not queue idle when cancelled
+
+A cancelled cancellable means that the background was destroyed,
+so we shouldn't queue an idle or emit the 'loaded' signal anymore.
