As discussed on the mailinglist [1] the tiling support is
removed from KWin. The main reasons for this step are:
* it is unmaintained
* it is a mode not used by any of the core KWin team
* original developer said at Akademy 2012 that he is not
interested in picking up the work again
* tiling has quite some bugs, e.g. multi screen not supported
* is conflicting with other concepts in KWin, e.g. activities
There is ongoing work to get tiling supported through a KWin
script, which is a preferred way as it does not influence the
existing C++ code base.

- adds the kcm rule option to set the activity - one or all option like
for virtual desktops
- makes the windows obey the rule
- makes the rule enforced even when the user tries to change the
window's activity via the alt+f3 menu

Since the funtionality of TopMenu did no longer work in KDE4 this feature was
removed from Workspace. Every reference to it was removed as well as commentaries
and documentation.

Drawbound was nowadays only used when compositing is disabled.
For the composited case, the drawbound was replaced by the resize
effect and in fact we should always just use the resize effect.

This commit merges the kwin-tiling branch. Ideally it shouldn't break anything and add a few features ;-)
It was applied as a patch. Do not attempt to merge the branch directly, it has a few issues.
This feature is currently experimental, although it hasn't crashed in quite a long time. It lacks some features and probably leaks some memory. Fixes will be on the way.

and set by the user - they're now interchangeable. Which means
that Alt+F3/Advanced/No border can put the window decoration
back on the KRunner window regardless of what Plasma or any other
app thinks.

kdeglobals is not supposed to store such rules, and this way
we don't empty kdeglobals when KWin quits.
Lubos: Ossi confirmed me it was the right move in the way we
use KConfig here, so I committed directly. In case of problem
just tell me.

Add default rules that turn off focus stealing prevention
for Mozilla family apps and OOo (since they can't handle opening
a window from second instance with FSP active).
When writing groups to kwinrulesrc delete old unused groups first.

This time at least the code should detect properly all attempts
to use shaded geometry when the normal one is needed.

that's not exact multiple of its resize increments. Selecting obeying
strict geometry in window-specific settings makes KWin avoid this.
Maximization then doesn't work very well indeed, but one cannot please
everybody, and the bug is in xterm after all.

works, because I haven't written any kind of docs for it yet, and
the most important button doesn't work yet either (yes, that one that
has it written on it). I just hope the GUI doesn't suck too much, because
I'm really bad at such things.

also take care of #49375, and should make sure kstart options will
have higher priority than settings configured in kwin.

Initial work on kwin rules, i.e. #36377 , per window specific settings.
So far only desktop/above/below work, no GUI, and settings from the old
'Save window settings' are ignored for now.
