The ownership for virtual desktops is moved from Workspace into a new
VirtualDesktopManager. The manager is responsible for providing the count
of virtual desktops and keeping track of the currently used virtual
desktop.
All methods related to moving between desktops are also moved from
Workspace to the new manager, though all methods related to Clients on
Virtual Desktops remain in Workspace for the time being. This is to have
the new manager as independent from KWin core as possible.
An rather important change for the handling of virtual desktops is that
the count and the id of a desktop is now an unsinged integer instead of
an integer. The reason for that is that we cannot have a negative count
of desktops as well as it is not possible to be on a desktop with a
negative identifier.
In that regard it is important to remember that a Client can be on a
desktop with a negative identifier. The special value for a Client being
on all desktops is handled by using -1 as a desktop. For the time being
this is not adjusted but instead of comparing the virtual desktop ids one
should prefer to use the convenient methods like isOnDesktop and
isOnAllDesktops. This would allow in future to internally change the
representation for on all desktops.
As discussed on the mailinglist [1] the tiling support is
removed from KWin. The main reasons for this step are:
* it is unmaintained
* it is a mode not used by any of the core KWin team
* original developer said at Akademy 2012 that he is not
interested in picking up the work again
* tiling has quite some bugs, e.g. multi screen not supported
* is conflicting with other concepts in KWin, e.g. activities
There is ongoing work to get tiling supported through a KWin
script, which is a preferred way as it does not influence the
existing C++ code base.

BUG: 303090
FIXED-IN: 4.10
REVIEW: 105546
Some functions and variables were given more proper names and are now
following the naming scheme. 'Redundant' naming information was also removed.

A build option is introduced to file CMakeLists.txt. Classes Tiling,
Tile and TilingLayouts are only built if the option is set to ON. #ifdef's
are added to the classes where functions of the excluded classes are called.
This initial commit introduces a new class Tiling. It is provided by
the files tiling/tiling.h and tiling/tiling.cpp. It covers all the
Tiling functionality which was provided by Workspace. In this initial
commit, all the functions were just moved and adjusted.
A new member variable m_tiling is introduced to Workspace, which
makes the new class Tiling accessible from Workspace.
The Tiling pointer is created in the constructor and deleted in
the deconstructor. Also a getter method tiling() is provided.
All calls from other classes are updated to use the methods in class
Tiling now.
this implements dbus methods in kwin for saving & restoring activities.
internally, kwin creates "sub-sessions" in kwin and ksmserver to
represent the saved activities. ksmserver doesn't need to know what
activities are :)
at the moment the code includes some fake information; it will be
changed to use the real stuff once the activities service code is in.

This commit merges the kwin-tiling branch. Ideally it shouldn't break anything and add a few features ;-)
It was applied as a patch. Do not attempt to merge the branch directly, it has a few issues.
This feature is currently experimental, although it hasn't crashed in quite a long time. It lacks some features and probably leaks some memory. Fixes will be on the way.

that Alt+F3/Advanced/No border can put the window decoration
back on the KRunner window regardless of what Plasma or any other
app thinks.

qdrawutil.h doesn't seem to have a purely Qt4-style equivalent, so including the directory there disambiguates it from the Qt3 header.

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.

Suspend updating of window-specific settings during shutdown,
so that KWin doesn't have to be killed as the first one during shutdown.
