This way if kwin_wayland crashes we don't need to ensure that new
environment variables need to get synced across the new env.
This fixes an issue where spawning an xwayland application from a
wayland window that survives a crash would fail.
By moving the logic here we no longer need to wait for kwin_wayland to
start before starting plasmashell or even ksmserver as all environment
variables are set. As long as the wrapper is ready we can continue
starting and clients will just block on connect.
That should still allow for both a lot of optimisations both for speed
and cleaning up the startplasma-wayland scripts.
This will be addressed in follow up patches.
Use of kwin_wayland directly with xwayland is still supported for
testing.
We inintially created the wrapper to be light so avoided the QtCore
dependency and did it all in C.
In hindsight changing requirements means we want to add several more
features in here. The first step is to port to a more readable language
and toolkit.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
