Right now when kwin exits, the user is taken directly back to the login
screen. The login session exits, so all processes then are killed by the
session.
This patchset introduces a mechanism to safely restart kwin. The socket
(typically wayland-0) remains alive and persistent across restarts. This
means if any process reconnects through it's own mechanism or a crash
restart handler the socket appears to work, and blocks until the new
kwin restarts.
This makes it secure and race free.
If the screen was locked at the time kwin went down, this is also
secure. Kwin now checks the status from logind at the time of launch, so
will immediately restore a locked state before any other rendering.
A window id generated by WaylandServer may reference an X11 window
with the same id, which can result in undefined behavior.
The main reason why we needed windowId() was because of the task
switcher. However, since tabbox uses internal ids now, the window id
property can be dropped.
Surface ids are not unique across clients. If the underlying surface of
an XdgToplevelClient is replaced with an Xwayland's surface, you may see
weird results such as a desktop window having the contents of an X11
window or even worse a crash.
BUG: 428680
This change introduces a shell integration class for input panel
surfaces. This effectively breaks the direct dependency between our
virtual keyboard component in kwin and the input_panel protocol,
which means that an input method server could use the layer-shell
protocol instead of the input_panel protocol.
The layer-shell protocol allows wayland clients to create surfaces that
can be used for building desktop environment components such as panels,
notifications, etc.
The support for the plasma-shell protocol will be dropped once plasma in
all its entirety is ported to the layer-shell protocol.
It is a very privacy-concerning component, so we will treat it
specifically.
As it is, it will have to come from the --inputmethod argument. We can
work on some UI later on to select which keyboards are available.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Debugging the panel thumbnails I realised that the setPosition calls
didn't have an effect. This is probably not the only way to fix this bug
but does fix the bug.
At the moment it only brings the position from the interface.
If the Xwayland process crashes, it will bring down the entire session
together with itself. Obviously, we don't want that. At least, Wayland
clients should survive the crash.
This change refactors relevant X11 parts to handle Xwayland crashes in a
less fatal way.
In order to handle Xwayland crashes better, a pair of start() and stop()
methods had been introduced in the Xwayland class to allow starting and
stopping the Xwayland process at any moment.
If we detect that the Xwayland process has crashed, we will immediately
stop the Xwayland server, which in its turn will deactivate the socket
notifier and destroy all connected X11 clients. Unfortunately, a couple
of subtle changes in X11Client::releaseWindow() and Unmanaged::release()
had to be made to ensure that we are left with a valid state after the
Xwayland server has been stopped.
Sub-classes of the AbstractClient class need a valid instance of the
Workspace class to function as desired. We should not create xdg-shell
clients until the workspace is created.
Xwayland can operate in two modes - rootless and rootful. When Xwayland
operates in the rootful mode, a container window is created where all
native X11 clients are placed. The container window is an xdg-toplevel
surface. Most compositors are not interested in rootful mode.
When Xwayland operates in the rootless mode, every X11 window is going
to be represented with a Wayland surface that has no role assigned to it.
In order to associate a wayland surface with an X11 window, Xwayland
will send a client message of type WL_SURFACE_ID.
Since we want Xwayland operate only in rootless mode, the check that
verifies that a newly created xdg-toplevel surface belongs to Xwayland
is pointless. We are never going to hit that case.
Currently in order to load an Xcursor theme, kwin uses libwayland api,
which looks really awkward because of the way how the compositor talks
to itself via the internal connection.
The main motivation behind this change is to limit the usage of kwayland
client api in kwin.
Summary:
Restrict to process with `X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot` in their corresponding Service file,
to take screenshots.
Such a program can now take immediate screenshots.
Adds a utility file to group KService related logic.

The wp_viewporter compositor extension allows clients to crop and scale
their surfaces. It can be especially useful for applications wishing to
reduce their power consumption, e.g. video players, etc.
Given that there is no any direct relationship between the surface size
and the buffer size anymore, we have to use specialized helper methods
for converting coordinates from the surface-local space to buffer pixel
space and vice versa.
There are several ways to handle unmapping of a wl_surface. The first
one is to destroy the associated AbstractClient instance. The second one
is to transition the AbstractClient in a special state.
The problem with the second approach is that it makes animations such as
fade out more difficult to handle since effects in kwin are geared more
towards the first approach (destroying AbstractClient).
Summary:
This change splits the XdgShellClient class to better match existing
abstractions in the xdg-shell protocol and fix a few issues related to
sending configure events.
In the new client classes, configure events are handled differently.
Instead of blocking configure events, we try to send them as late as
possible. Delaying configure events will let us merge changeMaximize()
for X11 clients and Wayland clients and it also fixes the bug where
we don't send the final configure event when user has finished resizing
a window.
Given that configure events are not sent immediately, XdgSurfaceClient
keeps the last requested frame geometry and the last requested client
geometry.
This patch doesn't intend to fix all issues in kwin's implementation of
the xdg-shell protocol. For example, we still handle surface unmapping
very poorly.
Test Plan: Tests pass.
