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.
Space is a valid shortcut part. E.g. "Volume Up".
KConfig update script for 4.11 is added to migrate existing and erroneous
rules taking into account that space is a valid key.

The regular expression is only matching shortcuts of the kind:
ctrl+(123)
which does not match a normal shortcut like:
ctrl+x
So if multiple shortcuts are specified, one without multiple options
has not been accepted.
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 Client is still needed as the invoked action might be delayed by one
event cycle to work around a crash if the operation causes the deco to
close.

A script can register a callback through registerUserActionsMenu to be
informed when the UserActionsMenu is about to be shown. This menu calls
the Scripting component to gather actions to add to a Scripts submenu.
The Scripting component now asks all scripts for the actions, which will
invoke the registered callbacks with the Client for which the menu is to
be shown as argument.
The callback is supposed to return a JSON structure describing how the
menu should look like. The returned object can either be a menu item or
a complete menu. If multiple menu items or menus are supposed to be added
by the script it should just register multiple callbacks.
The structure for an item looks like the following:
{
text: "My caption",
checkable: true,
checked: false,
triggered: function (action) {
print("The triggered action as parameter");
}
}
The structure for a complete menu looks quite similar:
{
text: "My menu caption",
items: [
{...}, {...} // items as described above
]
}
The C++ part of the script parses the returned object and generates
either QAction or QMenu from it. All objects become children of the
scripts QMenu provided by the UserActionsMenu.
Before the menu is shown again the existing menu is deleted to ensure
that no outdated values from no longer existing scripts are around. This
means the scripts are queried each time the menu is shown.

Two new interfaces are introduced:
* org.kde.kwin.Compositing
* org.kde.kwin.Effects
The Compositing interface is generated from scriptable elements on the
KWin::Compositor class and the Compositor is exported as /Compositor.
It provides the general Compositing related D-Bus methods like whether
the compositor is active and toggling and so on.
The Effects interface is generated from scriptable elements on the
KWin::EffectsHandlerImpl class and the instance is exported as /Effects.
It provides all the effects related D-Bus methods like loading an effect
or the list of all effects.
This removes the need to have all these methods provided on the global
org.kde.KWin interface. For backwards compatibility they are kept, but
no longer provided by the Workspace class. Instead a new DBusInterface
is generated which wrapps the calls and delegates it to one of our three
related Singleton objects:
* Workspace
* Compositor
* EffectsHandlerImpl
the geometry setting needs to happen out of recursion,
has to be smarter for unmaximizing and also no real
place in TabGroup - the client is no longer tabbed thus
it's not the groups task to manage it's geometry.

All methods and variables related to the User Actions Menu
(rmb window deco, Alt+F3) is moved out of the Workspace class
into an own UserActionsMenu class.
The class needs only a very small public interface containing
methods to show the menu for a Client, closing the menu and
discarding the menu. Everything else is actually private to the
implementation which is one of the reasons why it makes sense
to split the functionality out of the Workspace class.
As a result the methods and variables have more sane names and
the variable names are standardized.

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.

This is an issue we already had in the past with Aurorae. When
closing a window the graphics scene crashes because the deco
gets destroyed before the code in the graphics scene finished
the execution.
With the port to QML this seemed to be fixed unless as it turns
out it throws an XIO error on closing:
fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
This can be triggered using glxgears. Closing glxgears would
reliable crash Aurorae. To circumvent this issue we have to
delay the close by one event cycle using QMetaObject's
invokeMethod with a Qt::QueuedConnection.
This has also to be done in the useractions menu as the menu
is still open when the window closes causing the same problem
inside Aurorae.

The common usage of stacking order is to loop through
the list and find a specific Client. All these usages
still need to find a Client. For that the loops are
adjusted to first cast the Toplevel into a Client and
continue if the current item is no Client.
At the moment all entries in the stacking order should
still be Clients as the Deleted are not yet added.
Changes the order of the useractions menu to fit the one of
taskmanager. There are still some differences:
* Taskmanager is missing Activities menu
* Taskmanager is missing Window Tabbing support
* Taskmanager is missing window settings (e.g. shortcut)
* Useractions is missing launcher support

The context menu entry to "Configure Window Behavior" opens the
configuration of the window manager and not about the window.
In the past the shown configuration dialog only contained entries
affecting the window behavior but that is no longer true for the
complete KDE 4.x series since Desktop Effects had been added to
the menu. This change in naming reflects the situation and should
help to remove confusion.
At the same time the entry is moved into the advanced section.

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.
Since the TabBox functionality is not feasible for any platform KWin is
used on (e.g. tablet PCs), a build option is added to decide, if the
TabBox functionality should be build or not.

Move the funtionality of TabBox from class Workspace to class TabBox to make
it possible to deactivate this feature by setting a compile flag.
All methods and variables are now provided by class TabBox and calls from other
classes go directly to TabBox.
The code for configuring the shortcut keys has also been moved to class TabBox
from kwinbindings.cpp.
Since the funtionality of TopMenu did no longer work in KDE4 this feature was
removed from Workspace. Every reference to it was removed as well as commentaries
and documentation.

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.
