When rules configuration is invoked from window `Alt+F3` menu,
we call a custom binary `kwin_rules_dialog` which currently provides
only the rule edition dialog by embedding `RulesEditor.qml` within a
QQuickView.
This MR changes that behavior to call the full KCM from the menu.
The code to match previous rules, or compose a new one based on window
properties has been ported to the KCM from the dialog, so the overall
interaction is similar.
It has several advantages:
- uses only one entry-point to the code
- adds discoverability to the full KCM (I guess many users know how to
create a rule, but not where to delete it later)
And a drawback:
- only one instance of the KCM can be called at a time, so it will show an
error when calling it from two different windows, or if the KCM is open
in System Settings
This drawback can be solved after adding argument passing via dBus in KCM
infraestructure.

This reverts commit ee54fa7898.
Unfortunately, this is not a totally correct fix. If there's no pointer,
we need to announce the wl_pointer capability anyway so clients that do
not support tablet input devices can still receive emulated pointer
events.
Otherwise drmModeAtomicCommit() in DrmOutput::doAtomicCommit() fails due
to unmatched buffer sizes.
While rendering continues working properly, this makes drm freak out and
try to go back to a previous state (see the test commit in
presentAtomically()) that in turn starts issuing screen events to every
process even though it's just to say the same thing. The fact that this
happens per frame makes the system unusable as soon as fullscreen starts
happening on a scaled display.
Another thing we could do is get EglGbmBackend::scanout() to take care
of the resizing.
Our wayland interface lifespan only needs to live as long as the window
is mapped.
Given this corresponds directly to the lifespan of AbstractClient we can
just set a parent and everything is handled implicitly.
Prevent KWin from synchronously autostarting kactivitymanagerd. Indeed,
kactivitymanagerd being a QApplication it will depend on KWin
startup... this is unsatisfactory dependency wise, and it turns out
that it leads to a deadlock in the Wayland case
We're now sharing most of the X11Client activity behavior accross all
clients. This allows to cleanup some of the existing virtuals and remove
quite a bit of code overalls.
Has to introduce an extra platform specific hook since X11Client
serializes the activity information in an atom and we will probably need
to do something similar on the Wayland platform at some point.
This allows us to start interacting with the activities with kwin
wayland. They are not restored properly accross sessions though since
nothing is really persisted and the session management still seems to
be amiss.
The Script class has a DBus API we want to export. At some point this
has got broken and the run method is not exported.
It's a bit messy with script subclasses also having other invokables
that we want to export to scripts, so an adaptor is used to keep things
separated.
The interface name has technically changed, but KWin was doing something
weird and using the same interface names for the manager. Fortunately
calling Plasma code doesn't specify an interface so this still works.
On Wayland, when the compositor sends a screenshot to the requesting
app, it encodes the screenshot as a PNG image and sends the encoded data
over the pipe. The requesting app (Spectacle) then needs to decode the
data.
The issue is that encoding PNG images is not cheap. This is the main
reason why Spectacle is shown with a huge delay after you press the
PrtScr key.
In order to fix the latency issue, we need to transfer raw image data.
Unfortunately, the current dbus api of the screenshot is too cluttered
and the best option at the moment is to start with a clean slate.
This change prepares the screenshot effect for versioned dbus interface.
Most of existing dbus logic was moved out in a separate class. In order
to schedule screen shots, the screenshot effect got some new API.
QFuture<QImage> scheduleScreenShot(window, flags)
QFuture<QImage> scheduleScreenShot(area, flags)
QFuture<QImage> scheduleScreenShot(screen, flags)
If a dbus interface needs to take a screenshot, it needs to call one of
the overloaded scheduleScreenShot() functions. Every overload returns a
QFuture object that can be used for querying the result.
This change also introduces "sink" and "source" objects in the dbus api
implementation to simplify handling of QFuture objects.
Note that the QFutureInterface is undocumented, so if you use it, you do
it on your own risk. However, since Qt 5.15 is frozen for non-commercial
use and some other Plasma projects already use QFutureInterface, this
is not a big concern. For what it's worth, in Qt 6, there's the QPromise
class, which is equivalent to the QFutureInterface class.

This provides the compositor a way to indicate what output is being
rendered. The effects such as the screenshot can check the provided
screen object in order to function as expected.
If the file descriptor of the DRM device is greater than FD_SETSIZE, the
stack will be corrupted. However, it is highly unlikely that we ever hit
this case because DRM devices are opened at startup of kwin, so the file
descriptors should small.
In order to prevent the potential stack corruption, this change replaces
the usage of select() with poll().
Unlike select(), the api of poll() is much more sensible. Back 20 or so
years ago the main argument against poll() was that it's not implemented
by all platforms. But, nowadays, it's supported on all major platforms.
