The ownership for virtual desktops is moved from Workspace into a new
VirtualDesktopManager. The manager is responsible for providing the count
of virtual desktops and keeping track of the currently used virtual
desktop.
All methods related to moving between desktops are also moved from
Workspace to the new manager, though all methods related to Clients on
Virtual Desktops remain in Workspace for the time being. This is to have
the new manager as independent from KWin core as possible.
An rather important change for the handling of virtual desktops is that
the count and the id of a desktop is now an unsinged integer instead of
an integer. The reason for that is that we cannot have a negative count
of desktops as well as it is not possible to be on a desktop with a
negative identifier.
In that regard it is important to remember that a Client can be on a
desktop with a negative identifier. The special value for a Client being
on all desktops is handled by using -1 as a desktop. For the time being
this is not adjusted but instead of comparing the virtual desktop ids one
should prefer to use the convenient methods like isOnDesktop and
isOnAllDesktops. This would allow in future to internally change the
representation for on all desktops.
This method can be used to get the animationTime in case a configuration
class generated through KConfigXT is used. In general the configuration
stores the magic value 0 for a property "duration". This magic value
indicates that a hard-coded default value should be used.
So the common logic to test the stored value for 0 and then either pass
the stored value or the default value to animationTime is encapsulated
in this method in a generic way.
A MyEffect can use it in the following way:
animationTime<MyEffectConfig>(200);

The supportInformation is extended to also read the properties
on all effects. In addition each effect can be queried just for
itself through D-Bus, e.g.:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformationForEffect kwin4_effect_blur
All effects are extended to provide their configured and read
settings through properties. In some cases also important
runtime information is exposed.

The public member variables for opacity, saturation and brightness
are removed in favor for getter and setters. The variables are
moved into a private class. Those are now qreal instead of double.
To make usage inside the effects easier a multiply method is added
which multiplies the current value with passed in factor and returns
the new value in a functional programming style.

Each effect is able to declare itself as currently being active,
that is transforming windows or painting or screen or doing anything
during the current rendered frame.
This change eliminates the hottest path inside KWin identified by
callgrind.

For what reason ever motion manager thinks that windows are not
moving during the start animation (but are during the stop animation).
So we also have to look on the timeline to decide whether we should
disable lanczos filter on the windows.
Now wonder the animation was stuttering.

The KWin::TimeLine class was only a small wrapper around QTimeLine
without adding anything to QTimeLine what is not present in QTimeLine.
The initial idea was to make it possible to provide more curve shapes.
This is now obsoleted by Qt shipping more useful curves with QTimeLine.
So let's clean up a little bit and use QTimeLine directly instead of
the small wrapper.
All effects are adjusted to use QTimeLine directly.
Client and Unmanaged use a signal to notify that they are about to be closed.
The EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to those signals and emits the appropriate
windowClosed signal to which the effects are connected.
All previously existing windowAdded methods are renamed to slotWindowAdded.
EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to Workspace's clientAdded signal, which is
emitted a little bit earlier than the previous direct method call. This might
change behavior.
Another signal is added to Workspace to signal that an unmanaged is added.
