Port the RuleSettings and KCM to store and use a list of virtual desktop
UUIDs, instead of the previous x11 positional id, continuing the work on
This allows to set a rule with several desktops on Wayland.
On X11 it has no visible change for the user, but internally it uses the
more modern concept, helping to simplify the related code.
The relevant key on kwinrulesrc changes from `desktop` to `desktops`.
A kconf_update script handles the migration.
This lays down some groundwork for realtime gestures in Wayland,
so that gestures that are 1:1 with user motion on a touchpad are
now possible to implement.
Due to earlier commits, this is mostly just glue code to make a
convenient API.
Gestures implemented with this API are four-finger gestures, to
avoid conflicting with apps that may use two or three-finger
gestures.
Due to the screen edges test not being an integration test, it's very
hard to change output related code in libkwin. screens.cpp needs to have
a few ifdefs to successfully compile.
This change rewrites the screen edges test as an integration test in
order to allow us using other components of kwin in screens.cpp and
screenedge.cpp without ifdef guards.
It's not a one-to-one port.
Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
This effect is meant to be as a replacement for the present windows and
the desktop grid effect. It is written using QML.
So far, this effect implements only the basic features of the present
windows effect. Desktop management features will be added later.

This patch has one behavioral change - raiseOrLowerClient() will not
work if the client is not on the current virtual desktop.
However, raiseOrLowerClient() can be called only in two cases:
* user triggers the raise or lower shortcut for the active client. Since
the active client is on the current virtual desktop, it's not an issue
* an x11 window restacks itself. It makes no sense if an x11 window
restacks itself while it's inactive or not on current virtual desktop.
Also, the Opposite restack mode is rarely used, some window managers
don't even bother implementing it. So, having such a constraint should
not be a problem.
The main reason for not allowing raiseOrLowerClient() for windows that
are not on the current virtual desktop is that a window can be on
multiple virtual desktops. If a window is on A and B virtual desktops,
the only logical option is to toggle stacking position if the window is
on the current desktop. It's the only viable option as kwin does not
maintain per virtual desktop stacking order.
toplevel.h is included in many places. Changing virtualdesktops.h may
trigger rebuild of all kwin.
With this change, only cpp files that use virtualdesktops.h will need to
be recompiled.
The main motivation behind the split is to simplify client buffer code
and allow adding new features easier, for example referencing the shm
pool when a shm buffer is destroyed, or monitoring for readable linux
dmabuf file descriptors, etc.
Also, a referenced ClientBuffer cannot be destroyed, unlike the old
BufferInterface.
Since we adapted inputmethod to support methods like ibus, the input
method can be active but not have a visible panel.
This includes an extra property that will indicate us if the panel is
visible at any time. This will allow us to properly render the virtual
keyboard hide button in Plasma Mobile (or wherever we need it).
So far calling setActive(true) would issue a deactivation then another
activation. This sometimes makes maliit crash and we can achieve the
same result just by just issuing a reset.
It's unused and the advantages of keeping it are outweighed by the
disadvantages - the returned value is dependant on the window type.
If you need to draw a drop-shadow that matches the shape of the window
or something along that line, render the window into an offscreen
texture and sample the alpha channel in a fragment shader.
The looking glass effect creates an opengl texture at load time without
a current context, which aborts the test.
The test should be converted into an integration test. Mocking the GL
library is simply not feasible and not worth the trouble. :/
It is error-prone to have multiple sources for the same data. If the
base implementation (Compositor::compositing()) changes, other helpers
can get out of sync.
At the moment, the test depends on the implicit client connection flush
in BufferInterface::unref(). It will be highly desirable if that connection
flush is gone as it allows us batching wayland events better. It also
allows us remove a system call from a hot path.
At the moment, we handle window quads inefficiently. Window quads from
all items are merged into a single list just to be broken up again.
This change removes window quads from libkwineffects. This allows us to
handle window quads efficiently. Furthermore, we could optimize methods
such as WindowVertex::left() and so on. KWin spends reasonable amount
of time in those methods when many windows have to be composited.
It's a necessary prerequisite for making wl_surface painting code role
agnostic.
Drop-shadows with the software render backend impact performance quite
significantly. It also makes it easier to prepare render backends for the
item based design.
The Xrender backend was added at the time when OpenGL drivers were not
particularly stable. Nowadays though, it's a totally different situation.
The OpenGL render backend has been the default one for many years. It's
quite stable, and it allows implementing many advanced features that
other render backends don't.
Many features are not tested with it during the development cycle; the
only time when it is noticed is when changes in other parts of kwin break
the build in the xrender backend. Effectively, the xrender backend is
unmaintained nowadays.
Given that the xrender backend is effectively unmaintained and our focus
being shifted towards wayland, this change drops the xrender backend in
favor of the opengl backend.
Besides being de-facto unmaintained, another issue is that QtQuick does
not support and most likely will never support the Xrender API. This
poses a problem as we want thumbnail items to be natively integrated in
the qtquick scene graph.
With the ongoing scene redesign, it needs to be rewritten. However,
given that it is not used widely based on support information from
various bug reports and our available man power is sparse, the most
reasonable thing is to drop the effect, unfortunately.
