This patch applies a common language and type-setting to the
systemsettings modules in kwin.
Considerations:
- The comment field might repeat the name, or give more detail about the
specific settings on this page, this makes sense with how
systemsettings and kcmshell present it
- Mentioning the words settings, configure, options, etc. is avoided --
it is clear from the context that these are settings and options.
- Title-case throughout in line with human interface guidelines, see
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization
- The comment ends up being the title, so the
- tech slang is avoided as much as possible, but left in where really
necessary
- I've left the Name field "mostly untouched", as that one is key for
the user to find the right module in systemsettings' icon view and in
the sidebars
The most prominent change is "Compositor" to "Graphics Compositor" (in
the Title field). This is more like a "suggestion", if you don't like
it, I'll take it out again. Reasoning: "Compositor" is a very technical
term, people who know graphics might recognize it. Others might not
understand that "composite" is about graphics -- hence the
specialization. Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting

This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.

Instead of using the KServiceTypeTrader we use the BuiltInEffects to get
the name of CoverSwitch and FlipSwitch.
Showing the configuration dialog is migrated to KPluginTrader which fixes
the showing of the dialog.
This was missing from what is available in KWin core. The brightness and
saturation are implemented using a custom shader which uses the same
logic as what we use in the scene shader.
We are only rendering an image, so it's better to load the image into a
texture. This allows to properly scale the example preview which
magically fixes all the layouting problems which used to be there.
Needs to implement a dummy switcher item. As the root item of the
switchers are no longer QQuickItem derived it cannot use a QQuickView.
Instead a component gets created and the switcher is just shown on the
primary screen. It's a more appropriate preview now which is not
put into a dialog window.
To make it more realistic (and to be able to dismiss it) the preview
grabs keyboard and mouse and closes itself if escape, return, enter or
space is pressed.
As well clicking outside the preview window closes the preview.
