Useful action, especially for heavy kwin rules users
As an example, this can help users to migrate their rules to Wayland
(where some matching properties such as window class may be different)
while keeping a version of the rule compatible with X11.

This debug message is not helpful without knowing where it comes from.
In addition to that, it indicates that the lack of libinput connection is
bad, but it is not. For example, with the nested wayland compositor you
will never have a valid libinput connection, which is fine.
It's enough to give info about current layout only or all the layouts
altogether, so no need to pass layout to asqure in an argument.

Night Color adjusts the color temperature based on the current time in
your location. It's not a generic color correction module per se.
We need a central component that can be used by both night color and
colord integration to tweak gamma ramps and which will be able to
resolve conflicts between the two. The Night Color manager cannot be
such a thing because of its very specific usecase.
This change converts Night Color into a plugin to prepare some space for
such a component.
The tricky part is that the dbus api of Night Color has "ColorCorrect"
in its name. I'm afraid we cannot do that much about it without breaking
API compatibility.
Variants are now stored separate from layouts in their own config entry.

fix: [1/2] Keyboard Layout applet: layout Name doesn't fit if variant is set
As things are right now, we can only do 32bit textures for dmabuf (see
gbm_bo_format in gbm.h). This means that we were lying to our receivers
when we had 24bit textures by then giving a 32bit texture instead.
This changes it so we request a dummy texture before starting and if we
are offered one we assume they're available and offer a 32bits stream
directly (i.e. BGRA).
The buffer offset for client-side decorated windows is not 0, this plus
mixing the frame position and the client size may result in clipped
thumbnails of client-side decorated applications, such as gedit, etc.
BUG: 428595
If the client opted to position them on purpose, don't move them around.
If the geometry of the workspace changes it's their job to react
accordingly.
BUG: 429353
A plugin may need to access kwinApp() or kwinApp()->platform() during
tear down, but the problem is that plugins are destroyed after the
kwinApp() object. The plugin manager must be destroyed explicitly while
the application is still valid to ensure that no crash will occur
during compositor teardown.
When changing the workspace size, clients will need to reposition
themselves. This leaves a short amount of time where strutted clients
(e.g. panels) will be floating in the wrong place.
This change makes it so when the area could not be properly calculated,
we ignore these clients until they start giving us proper values again.
This is a bit of a workaround though, it would make sense to implement
client placement more synchronously so we didn't have weird moments
where everything is wrong.
It's mostly prominent on the phone but it happens elsewhere when you
rotate.
xdgshell allows clients to specify which output should we fill on
set_fullscreen. This change takes this request into consideration
instead of ignoring it.
krunner stuff doesn't really belong in kwin, it has nothing to do with
compositing or any other things that are the domain of compositors.
Given that, being as a plugin suits the krunner integration stuff best.
With 870679e46f, if the partial update
extension is unsupported, setSupportsPartialUpdate() won't be called.
The problem is that it may leave OpenGLBackend::supportsPartialUpdate()
uninitialized, which can lead to a crash if an OpenGL render backend
tries to call eglSetDamageRegionKHR() and EGL_KHR_partial_update is
unsupported.
This change introduces basic colord integration in wayland session. It
is implemented as a binary plugin.
If an output is connected, the plugin will create the corresponding
colord device using the D-Bus API and start monitoring the device for
changes.
When a colord devices changes, the plugin will read the VCGT tag of the
current ICC color profile and apply it.
The scripting api is not suitable for implementing all features that
should not be implemented in libkwin. For example, the krunner
integration or screencasting are the things that don't belong to be
compiled right into kwin and yet we don't have any other choice.
This change introduces a quick and dirty plugin infrastructure that
can be used to implement things such as colord integration, krunner
integration, etc.
Due space constraints, Short Name is the only name suitable for keyboard
layout indication on panels and systray. Usually it's just 2 symbols
corresponding to standard ISO country code.
libxkbcommon doesn't have this information, so we have to store it in
compositor for the exposing:
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/192
It's exposed by getLayoutDisplayName() DBus method now, as it should initially.
For Long Name, getCurrentLayoutLongName() method was added.
Relevant P-W commits:
Keyboard Layout plugin: passthrough Short Name from compositor to QML applet
fix: Keyboard Layout plugin: wrong property for passing Short Name
X11 part, P-D:
feat: expose keyboard layout Long Name via DBus
CCBUG: 390079
FEATURE:
Without the KWindowSystem integration plugin, Wayland experience will be
negatively affected because windows created by kwin itself won't behave
as desired. Therefore it makes little sense to load this plugin at runtime.
QTRY_COMPARE doesn't work well with how we do our wayland event
dispatching.
We know the client hasn't processed any events yet, so we can safely do
a normal wait.
On X Kwin's lifespan used to be managed by XSMP. This accidentally broke
in 5.20 as we made kwin start before ksmserver for speed purposes.
This leaves kwin to be killed by the display manager as the X connection
closes, but this can lead to deadlocks.
BUG:428817
On wayland kwin's lifespan is mapped to the lifespan of the ksmserver
binary. This is problematic as it makes our entire xwayland robustness
redundant if we ultimately rely on an application that /has/ to run in
xwayland.
BUG: 427688
On wayland, we know we're always going to load our internal QPA. Instead
of shipping a plugin and loading it dynamically we can use Qt static
plugins.
This should result in slightly faster load times, but also reduce the
number of moving pieces for kwin.
This also prevents anyone outside kwin loading our QPA which wouldn't
have made any sense and just crashed.
On X11, it creates a dead pixel on the left edge which interferes with
left panels, the left-nost widget on bottom and top panels, and scroll
events on the left-most pixel in various apps.
It works properly on Wayland, but unfortunately turning it off by
default only on X11 but not Wayland is not easily doable. So let's turn
it off by default everywhere.
