So far updating the cursor image was not really defined. It was possible
to use the cursor image from the wayland seat or have a custom set cursor
image. But there are no rules in place to decide which one to use when.
With this change a dedicated CursorImage class is introduced which tracks
the cursor image changes on the seat, on the decoration, in the effects
and so on. In addition it tracks which is the current source for the
image, that is whether e.g. the cursor from the seat or from effects
override should be used. Whenever the cursor image changes a signal is
emitted, which is connected to the signal in AbstractBackend.
Based on that the backends can directly show the image. The existing
code in the backends to install a cursor shape or to install the cursor
from the server is completely dropped. For the backend it's irrelevant
from where the image comes from.
A new feature added is that the cursor image is marked as rendered. This
is then passed on to the frame rendered in the Surface and thus animated
cursors are finally working. Unfortunately animated cursors are broken in
Qt (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48181 ).
We are going to switch to a proper nested approach similar to the
x11 backend. Given that we don't want to run on fullscreen anymore
but just open a nested window.
Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).
Replaces the functionality of the WaylandBackend and makes it available
to all backends by providing the functionality directly in
AbstractBackend. By default a backend is not ready and the implementation
must call setReady(true) to indicate that setup has finished
successfully. The compositor won't start till the backend indicates that
it is ready.
The aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
