This shortcut did not make any sense to me, because you could block the
global shortcuts for KWin, but not re-enable them again. So once blocked,
it was blocked for ever till kwin --replace &.
This is in opposite to the commit message which introduced it
(see BUG 108961).

Instead of wrapping for exactly one case let's just use the proper
function calls and get rid of all those methods marked as "remove KDE4"
and "backwards compatibility".

Split out the default and installed colormap from Workspace and put them
into an own class Colormaps.
The method updateColormaps is replaced by a slot update in Colormaps and
activeClientChanged signal is connected to this slot.
At the same time the colormap related code is straight forward ported to
xcb.

It's not a typical singleton as the ctor is not taking a Workspace* and
needs addtional data to be passed to NETRootInfo.
All the initialization code is moved to RootInfo::create() and the tear-
down code is moved to RootInfo::destroyed(). This includes the support
window which used to be a member of Workspace. It's only needed by
RootInfo, so there is no need to have the ownership inside Workspace.
Instead of using a QWidget we just create a normal window through xcb.
It gets destroyed again in the tear-down code after the RootInfo got
destroyed.

Main motivation for this change is that it's unhandy to have the class
definition in workspace.h and client.h while the implementation is in
events.cpp although nothing in events.cpp uses it directly.
By getting it out of workspace.h we get the header a little bit smaller
which should improve compile time given that it's included almost
everywhere.
In events.cpp the enum usage is changed to NETWinInfo as that's the class
where they are defined.
RootInfo does no longer hold a workspace pointer. Where it's needed it
uses the singleton accessor of Workspace.

Workspace is hardly interacting with Rules and all the Rules related code
is already in rules.cpp. This highly qualifies to move all the code out
of Workspace and improve the names.

It's only used from useractions.cpp which means that it's not the best
fit in utils. We can see the problems with it given that it was in an
ifdef and it included quite some headers into everything.

Following the approaches of other split out functionality Screens is a
singleton class created by Workspace.
The class takes over the responsibility for:
* screenChanged signal delayed by timer
* number of screens
* geometry of given screen
* active screen
* config option for active screen follows mouse
The class contains a small abstraction layer and has a concrete subclass
wrapping around QDesktopWidget, but the idea is to go more low level and
interact with XRandR directly to get more detailed information.
All over KWin the usage from QDesktopWidget is ported over to the new
Screens class.

This allows to move the slot to reset the decoration when compositing
got toggled from Workspace to DecorationPlugin and the custom cleanup
is no longer needed.
REVIEW: 109909
There is only one instance hold by Workspace which means it should follow
the common approach with ::self and ::create.
The hasTabBox is completely removed as it's rather useless and the same
as the ifdef around the usages any way.

All activities related code moves into new singleton class Activities.
This class gets only included into the build if the build option is
enabled which means there are less ifdefs all over the code and it also
handles better the moc doesn't like ifdef case.
The class holds the list of open and all activites, the current and the
previous activity and the KActivities::Controller. It also emits the
signals for any activities related changes.
Workspace still contains some activities related code. That is the
adjustment on change of current activity. Nevertheless the code looks
much cleaner now and does not contain the confusing naming conflict with
takeActivity() which existed before.
In all the places where Activities got used the code got adjusted and
quite often the ifdef got added with a fallback for the disabled case.

- The setting is ignored, the decoration always gets a "true" for it
- moving a maximized window requires breaking a "strong" snap (1/16 of screen height - unless you use quick maximization)
- all snapping is done towards the client, not the frame
- QuickTileMode is exported to the decoration (just as the maximizeMode) so that it can fix the bordersize alongside that.
The hack used to be used to hide windows before they get embedded into
another window. This has been wrong on multiple levels:
1. it does not belong into a window manager - the window should take care
of this by itself
2. Window title is not a proper way to identify windows
3. Using D-Bus to inform an X11 window manager about windows which should
not get managed is rather strange
4. The hack only works with KWin, but not with any other X Window Manager
5. Windows identified with this hack still appear in Alt+Tab, that is
they are managed after all. Only a flicker is suppressed
6. Such windows are shown in the taskbar which nicely illustrates how
wrong a D-Bus call to the window manager is
That the hack has been introduced for Java Applets in KHTML also shows
that this is wrong. Why does Gecko and WebKit not need such a hack? Why
is KHTML tied so closely to X11 and KWin? Having a hack for a technology
which is obsoleted (Java Applets) and shouldn't be used due to security
issues is another reason to no longer support this hack. This usage has
been removed from KHTML as of 67939b1 of kdelibs git repo.

Following the approach to move out of Workspace what doesn't belong into
Workspace Appmenu support goes into an own class.
This also has the advantage of better compilation with Qt 5 as moc seems
to dislike ifdefs in the slot definitions.

With Qt5 QCursor does no longer provide ::handle() which was used to
set a cursor on a native XWindow for which we do not have a QWidget.
Also KWin has had for quite some time an optimized version to get the
cursor position without doing XQueryPointer each time ::pos() is called.
These two features are merged into a new class Cursor providing more or
less the same API as QCursor.
In addition the new class provides a facility to perform mouse polling
replacing the implementations in Compositor and ScreenEdges.
For more information about the new class see the documentation for the
new class in cursor.h.
The code is rewritten in a way to replace the local event loop with event
filtering done in the normal way through events.cpp. Therefore instead of
creating a KillWindow whenever it's needed, there is one available in
Workspace which will be reused on next invocation.
The responsible events are passed from events.cpp to KillWindow for
processing.
In order to port the keycode to symbol to XCB, KWin now finds
xcb_keysyms and links it.
To get the right cursor KWin now links the XCursor library which is
unfortunatelly an XLib based library, but there seems to be no XCB
replacement.
The new class FocusChain manages two different kind of focus chains.
First of all there is a most recently used focus chain which is primarily
used for TabBox.
Then there is one focus chain per virtual desktop. These chains are used
to determine which Client needs to be activated when e.g. switching to a
virtual desktop.
The individual chains are implemented as a simple QList of Client* with
the most recently used Client as the last element. That way one can see
it as a LIFO like structure.
The desktop focus chains are internally represented as a hash with the id
of the virtual desktop as the key and a list as described as the value.
FocusChain is a singleton which provides some methods to manipulate the
chains and to get a specific Client for a task (e.g. TabBox).
While splitting out the code some unused code inside TabBox got removed
as well as some activities related code (windows cannot be moved while
switching activities).

In fact it already used to be a Singleton as there is just one object
hold by the Singleton Workspace. So let's make it a proper Singleton
following our kind of standard approach of having a ::create factory
method called from Workspace ctor and a ::self to get to the singleton
instance.
This rewrite is mostly motivated by the need to handle multi screen
setups correctly. That is have edges per screen and not for the combined
geometry. Also porting from XLib to XCB has been a motivation for the
rewrite.
The design of the new ScreenEdge handling is described in the
documentation of ScreenEdges in screenedge.h.
In addition the following changes have been performed:
* move configuration from Options to ScreenEdge
* add screen edge information to Workspace::supportInformation (obviously
replaces what had been read from Options)
* have Workspace hold a pointer to ScreenEdges instead of an object
* forward declaration of ScreenEdges in workspaces.h, this explains the
seemingly unrelated changes of just another include in some files
BUG: 290887
FIXED-IN: 4.11
Main motivation for this change except the fact that it doesn't belong
into Workspace is that the screen edges got updated from within setting
the desktop layout which got removed with the introduction of the
VirtualDesktopManager.
The ScreenEdge now keeps some state to be able to correctly unreserve the
electric borders when changes in the configuration are performed. There
is still room for improvement as there are still some deep function calls
from within reconfiguring in Workspace.

Most recently used virtual desktop chain is only used in the context of
TabBox and therefore moved into this namespace. KWin uses one desktop
chain for each activity. This is mapped by having multiple DesktopChains.
In addition there is a DesktopChainManager which contains all those
chains which are identified by a QString.
The manager gets connected to the signals emitted by VirtualDesktopManager
for changes in virtual desktops and to signals related to Activities
emitted by Workspace. This means the manager is rather generic as it does
not depend on any other components.
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.
The two methods:
* place
* placeSmart
have only forwarded the call to the Placement object. Now that Placement
is a singleton there is no need to have them. Every user can call them
directly without going over Workspace.
It is more Placement related and does not really fit into geometry given
that it only calls methods on Placement. It probably only was inside
Workspace due to being part of the DBus interface. The DBus methods are
used by external components so it needs to stay.
The DBus Wrapper is now calling the methods on the singleton Placement
directly, so no need in Workspace anymore.
It is not used anywhere inside KWin at all and the DBus method is not
used anywhere inside KDE's repositories (according to lxr). Because of
that marked as deprecated and going to die with Qt 5.
