[xwl] Drag and drop between Xwayland and Wayland native clients Summary: Building upon the generic X Selection support this patch establishes another selection class representing the XDND selection and provides interfaces to communicate drags originating from Xwayland windows to the Wayland server KWin and drags originating from Wayland native drags to Xwayland. For Wayland native drags KWin will claim the XDND selection as owner and will simply translate all relevant events to the XDND protocol and receive alike messages by X clients. When an X client claims the XDND selection KWin is notified via the X protocol and it decides if it allows the X drag to transcend into the Wayland protocol. If this is the case the mouse position is tracked and on entering a Wayland native window a proxy X Window is mapped to the top of the window stack. This proxy window acts as a drag destination for the drag origin window and again X messages will be translated into respective Wayland protocol calls. If the cursor leaves the Wayland window geometry before a drop is registered, the proxy window is unmapped, what triggers a subsequent drag leave event. In both directions the necessary core integration is minimal. There is a single call to be done in the drag and drop event filter through the Xwayland interface class. From my tests this patch facilitates drags between any Qt/KDE apps. What needs extra care are the browsers, which use target formats, that are not directly compatible with the Wayland protocol's MIME representation. For Chromium an additional integration step must be done in order to provide it with a net window stack containing the proxy window. Test Plan: Manually. Auto tests planned.
