Also fixed a little bug in kcmkwincompositing (dropdowns on the general tab were not updated correctly) and cleaned up the code a bit (removed a few unneeded function calls and stale connects).
See the conversation on the mailing list ("Patch for bug 174769", http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=122696916611602) for further information.
BUG 174769
svn path=/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/; revision=888659
WARNING: Breaks shadow effect. I don't think it causes anything to crash anymore but it is VERY ugly visually.
Contains:
- New decoration API that allows decorations to change the way shadows look.
- Shadows now wobble.
- API example code in the Oxygen decoration.
- Added buildQuads() effect plugin hook.
- Work on the shadow effect to use the new decoration shadow API as well.
- Added IDs to WindowQuads.
- Added public accessors to texture coords in WindowVertex.
Would like all this to be reviewed.

also detect not-so-bad-but-still-slow paint times over a longer
period of time, i.e. the old check is for systems which are pathetically
slow, this one is for systems that are just slow. Possibly may need
tweaking for cases like high system load, but right now it seems
that e.g. a compilation running cannot trigger this check because
it cannot cause many long repaints in a row.

If three successive ones take more than 1 sec, suspend compositing,
as that very likely means the system is totally incapable of decent
compositing. Perhaps may need little tweaking.

really works by simply trying to do it and test the result - create a small
testing window with known content, do the same with it like with normal
windows, grab the screen contents, compare with the original, doesn't match? -> fail.
It still would be nice to have something similar for performance.

and not be slowed down by going through compositing. Turned on and no UI option
in the naive hope that it won't cause any real problems. Maybe effects doing
window previews should get API to suspend unredirect though.

one wants to run something graphically intensive like a game
or when compositing goes awry and one wants to see the checkbox
that turns it off.

actually needs to flush the output to the screen. Avoids windows
temporarily disappearing during KDE startup or similar visual glitches.

qdrawutil.h doesn't seem to have a purely Qt4-style equivalent, so including the directory there disambiguates it from the Qt3 header.

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.

to support XOR painting only when XRender is available. Given that
outline should be mainly used with older systems, go for a DIY Xlib-based
solution. Needs changes in decorations using it.

Now, since I don't see any shortcuts-related hacks, why exactly am I supposed
to contact you?

also not useful at all.

actually kept mapped, so that they still have the backing pixmap.
Plus some small tricks to prevent such windows from interfering.
Only two basic modes are implemented right now.
