Currently the only way for a uuser to invoke corner-tiling is to
manually set shortcuts for them. This patch adds another option: invoke
the existing shortcuts for edge tiling in a combined manner in quick
succession.
For example, hitting Meta+Left and then Meta+Up within a one-second
period will tile the active window into the top left corner. In practice
you hold down the Meta key and then press Left then Up (or Up and then
Left), and I think it feels very natural. Linux Mint's window manager
has this feature and I always missed it when I left Mint for the KDE
world.
Autotests for existing tiling shortcuts are adjusted to not break, and
additional tests for the new tiling options are added.
There are several ways to handle unmapping of a wl_surface. The first
one is to destroy the associated AbstractClient instance. The second one
is to transition the AbstractClient in a special state.
The problem with the second approach is that it makes animations such as
fade out more difficult to handle since effects in kwin are geared more
towards the first approach (destroying AbstractClient).
Summary: Alt + Left Click to move windows has a tendency to conflict with creative workflow apps. While Alt can be changed to Meta in KWin's settings, Alt + Left Click shortcuts often cannot be customized in apps. Rather than making every user who runs into this problem change their settings, we should change our default settings to improve KWin's default usability. The fact that Alt + Left Click to move windows is older does not matter. We are trying to use Meta for global/shell shortcuts anyway.

Summary:
On X11, Workspace stores windows in two lists. One with desktop windows
and the other one with all other windows. On Wayland, desktop windows
and normal windows are stored in the same list - m_allClients.
In order to unify scripting on X11 and Wayland, this change makes the
Workspace class store X11 desktop windows and normal X11 windows in the
same list. It's the responsibility of scripts to filter desktop windows.

In case Xwayland does not use multiple buffers, the currently attached
buffer is going to be destroyed if the frame window is resized. It may
render the previous and the current window pixmap invalid and thus result
in visual artifacts when an X11 client is being interactively resized.
In order to avoid the visual artifacts, this change disables support for
synchronized resizing for X11 clients if the version of Xwayland is less
than the version in which Xwayland started using multiple buffers, i.e.
1.21.

Summary:
Qt has its own thing where a type might also have corresponding list
alias, e.g. QObject and QObjectList, QWidget and QWidgetList. I don't
know why Qt does that, maybe for some historical reasons, but what
matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example
QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList
in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?
Another problem with these typedefs is that you need to include utils.h
header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.
So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
change drops some of our custom typedefs. Namely ConstClientList,
ClientList, DeletedList, UnmanagedList, ToplevelList, and GroupList.

Summary:
Compositing in X11 was done time shifted, meaning that we paint first, then
wait one vblank interval length and present on prepareRenderingFrame the
previous paint result. This is supposed to make sure we don't miss the vblank
and in case of block till retrace be able to continue issuing commands and
only shortly before next vblank present.
This is counter-intuitiv, not how we do it on Wayland or even on MESA with X.
The reason seems to be that the GLX backend was in the beginning written
against Nvidia proprietary driver which needed this but nowadays even this
driver defaults to non-blocking behavior on buffer swap.
Therefore remove this legacy anomaly fully and directly present after paint.
We then wait one refresh cycle and in the future can optimize this by delaying
the paint and present till shortly before vsync.

Currently kwin opens a second ICE connection to ksmserver in order to
tell the state of kwin's whether we're logging out and saving clients or

This requires that kwin launches after ksmserver to have the connection

Practically this code is already ksmserver specific as it relies on some
custom code that sends the first saveState request to kwin first.
Instead we can replace it with a bespoke IPC over DBus and siplify the
code both end. This will allow several other future enhancements that we
want with regards to handling the session state, as well as make an
effort platform agnostic session management, as well as cleaning up some
complex code.

to allow us make sure it's race free.

Summary:
Currently each managed X11 client is represented with an instance of
Client class, however the name of that class is very generic and the
only reason why it's called that way is because historically kwin
was created as an x11 window manager, so "Client" was a sensible choice.
With introduction of wayland support, things had changed and therefore
Client needs to be renamed to X11Client in order to better reflect what
that class stands for.
Renaming of Client to X11Client was agreed upon during the last KWin
sprint.

Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
Managing lifetime of objects during tear down is a bit clunky in KWin
mostly because the wayland server outlives the workspace.
3f4e733468 tried to tackle one aspect of this problem, but the proposed
solution is good only in short term. If a ShellClient wants to discard
force temporarily rules, it needs to access RuleBook, whose lifetime is
bounded to the workspace, no matter what happens. Otherwise, the force
temporarily rule will be applied again on the next startup.
It's worth to mention that there was another attempt to address this
problem, see commit 826b9742e9. It was reverted because some internal
clients may need to destroy Wayland resources during tear down.
This change takes another approach. In order to ensure that ShellClient
can access RuleBook during tear down, we manually destroy Wayland clients
in destructor of the Workspace class. Something is done already for X11
clients.

Summary:
Any call made to a virtual method in constructor/destructor of a base
class won't go to a derived class because the base class may access
uninitialized or destroyed resources.
For example, let's consider the following two classes
class Base {
public:
Base() { foo()->bar(); }
virtual ~Base() { foo()->bar(); }
virtual Foo* foo() const { return nullptr; }
};
class Derived : public Base {
public:
Derived() : mFoo(new Foo) {}
~Derived() override { delete mFoo; }
Foo* foo() const override { return mFoo; }
private:
Foo* mFoo;
};
When an instance of Derived class is created, constructors will run in
the following order:
Base()
Derived()
It's not safe to dispatch foo() method call to Derived class because
constructor of Derived hasn't initialized yet mFoo.
Same story with destructors, they'll run in the following order:
~Derived()
~Base()
It's not safe to dispatch foo() method call in the destructor of Base
class to Derived class because mFoo was deleted.
So, what does that weird C++ behavior has something to do with KWin? Well,
recently Compositor class was split into two classes - WaylandCompositor,
and X11Compositor. Some functionality from X11 doesn't make sense on
Wayland. Therefore methods that implement that stuff were "purified," i.e.
they became pure virtual methods. Unfortunately, when Compositor tears
down it may call pure virtual methods on itself. Given that those calls
cannot be dispatched to X11Compositor or WaylandCompositor, the only
choice that C++ runtime has is to throw an exception.
The fix for this very delicate problem is very simple - do not call virtual
methods from constructors and the destructor. Avoid doing that if you can!
This change moves Compositor::updateClientCompositeBlocking to X11Compositor
so it longer has to be a virtual method. Also, it kind of doesn't make sense
to keep it in base Compositor class because compositing can be blocked only
on X11.

Summary:
The compositor tries to switch to the next tabbox client when currently
highlighted client is closed. Though there is a small issue with that.
Because the switch happens too late, a dangling pointer can be inserted
into the unconstrained stacking order, which can lead to a crash later on.
There are two cases:
- compositing is on;
- compositing is off.
Compositing is on: TabBox will try to un-elevate currently highlighted
client, though by that time the client no longer owns EffectWindow, so
this is basically a no-op (that's why we haven't experienced this bug
before).
Compositing is off: TabBox will try to restack currently hightlighted
client under the next tabbox client. Given that the restack method
doesn't do any sanity checks(see Client::manage why), a client that is
about to be destroyed will be re-inserted back into the unconstrained
stacking order.
This change ensures that the switch happens before currently highlighted
client is removed from the stacking order.

CCBUG: 406101
Summary:
This is the initial implementation of a DRM backend based on the EGLDevice,
EGLOutput, and EGLStream extensions, supporting NVIDIA graphics hardware using
their proprietary driver. The new backend will be used if the environment
variable KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS is set. On initialization, it will attempt to
create an EGLDevice based on the DRM device currently in use and create
EGLOutputs and EGLStreams for any attached displays. These are used to control
presentation of the final composited frame. Additionally, it will register the
wl_eglstream_controller Wayland interface so that native EGL windows created by
clients can be attached to an EGLStream allowing buffer contents to be shared
with the compositor as a GL texture.
At this time there are two known bugs in the NVIDIA driver's EGL implementation
affecting desktop functionality. The first can result in tooltip windows drawn
by plasmashell to contain incorrect contents. The second prevents KWayland from
being able to query the format of EGLStream-backed buffers which interferes
with the blur effect. Fixes for both of these are currently in development and
should appear in an upcoming NVIDIA driver release.
Additionally, hardware cursors are currently not supported with this backend.
Enabling them causes the desktop to intermittently hang for several seconds.
This is also likely a bug in the NVIDIA DRM-KMS implementation but the root
cause is still under investigation.
Test Plan:
On a system with an NVIDIA graphics card running a recent release of their
proprietary driver
* Ensure the nvidia_drm kernel module is loaded with the option "modeset=1"
("# cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset" should print "Y")
* Ensure EGL external platform support is installed
https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform
* Ensure KWin was build with the CMake option
KWIN_BUILD_EGL_STREAM_BACKEND=ON (this is the default)
* Start a plasma wayland session with the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS set
* Ensure output from KWin OpenGL initialization indicates the NVIDIA EGL
driver is in use (as opposed to Mesa / llvmpipe).
* Desktop should be fully functional and perform smoothly.
