Two new interfaces are introduced:
* org.kde.kwin.Compositing
* org.kde.kwin.Effects
The Compositing interface is generated from scriptable elements on the
KWin::Compositor class and the Compositor is exported as /Compositor.
It provides the general Compositing related D-Bus methods like whether
the compositor is active and toggling and so on.
The Effects interface is generated from scriptable elements on the
KWin::EffectsHandlerImpl class and the instance is exported as /Effects.
It provides all the effects related D-Bus methods like loading an effect
or the list of all effects.
This removes the need to have all these methods provided on the global
org.kde.KWin interface. For backwards compatibility they are kept, but
no longer provided by the Workspace class. Instead a new DBusInterface
is generated which wrapps the calls and delegates it to one of our three
related Singleton objects:
* Workspace
* Compositor
* EffectsHandlerImpl
The Compositor class actually behaves like a Singleton so it should be
one. Therefore four static methods are added:
* self() to access the Singleton
* createCompositor() to be used by Workspace to create the instance
* isCreated() to have a simple check whether the Singleton is already
created
* compositing() as a shortcut to test whether the compositor has been
created and is active
The isCreated() check is actually required as especially Clients might
be created and trying to access the Compositor before it is setup.
The refactoring of Compositor starting with b1739c3 caused some
regressions due to variables in Workspace and Compositor not
being initialized. Furthermore there was a boolean logic error
in PaintRedirector causing the decorations not to paint.
BUG: 305875
Obsoletes the need to go through the Workspace object to get to
the Compositor.
TODO for future: make the Compositor being the parent object for
the EffectsHandlerImpl.
Closing Review and bug from this commit, which is the top most

BUG: 299277
FIXED-IN: 4.10
For most actions where the compositor needs to perform an action
(e.g. scheduling another repaint) signals were already emitted.
So it's easier to just connect the signals to the Compositor
which in turn makes the code much more readable.
All signals are connected from the Workspace when either the
Compositor gets constructed or a Toplevel gets created.
The DBus signal which causes KWin to reinitialize the Compositor
is moved into the Compositor as everything can be handled from
there as well. This comes together with moving the restartKWin
functionality into the Compositor as it is only relevant there.
Restart will only happen if the wrong Qt graphicssystem is used
for the chosen compositing backend.
All the custom slot did was printing a debug statement and
calling finish. We do not need this debug statement. The times
of Compositors not part of Window Managers are over, so it is
extremely unlikely that we lose the ownership without KWin
going down anyway.
The Scene has always been created and destroyed inside what is
now the split out compositor. Which means it is actually owned
by the Compositor. The static pointer has never been needed
inside KWin core. Access to the Scene is not required for the
Window Manager. The only real usage is in the EffectsHandlerImpl
and in utils.h to provide a convenient way to figure out whether
compositing is currently active (scene != NULL).
The EffectsHandlerImpl gets also created by the Compositor after
the Scene is created and gets deleted just before the Scene gets
deleted. This allows to inject the Scene into the EffectsHandlerImpl
to resolve the static access in this class.
The convenient way to access the compositing() in utils.h had
to go. To provide the same feature the Compositor provides a
hasScene() access which has the same behavior as the old method.
In order to keep the code changes small in Workspace and Toplevel
a new method compositing() is defined which properly resolves
the state. A disadvantage is that this can no longer be inlined
and consists of several method calls and pointer checks.
Replaces the member variable which is actually not needed as a
pointer to the Workspace can always be retrieved through the
singleton accessor of Workspace.
All Workspace functions which were implemented in the file composite.cpp
were moved to an own class Compositor. The header entries were moved as well.
All functions calls are updated.
All methods and variables related to the User Actions Menu
(rmb window deco, Alt+F3) is moved out of the Workspace class
into an own UserActionsMenu class.
The class needs only a very small public interface containing
methods to show the menu for a Client, closing the menu and
discarding the menu. Everything else is actually private to the
implementation which is one of the reasons why it makes sense
to split the functionality out of the Workspace class.
As a result the methods and variables have more sane names and
the variable names are standardized.

Effects can specify their minimum requirements in their
desktop file:
* OpenGL
* OpenGL 2 (GLSL required)
* Shaders (either ARB or OpenGL 2)
The configuration module uses this information in combination
with which backend KWin is currently using. So if e.g. OpenGL
is used and an effect requires OpenGL 2 a detailed error
message can be showed that OpenGL 2 is required.

Client::manage calls setupCompositing on the not
yet fully managed client before it wants to create
the window decoration. This means the decoration is
created twice and maybe even if not needed (noBorder
not yet set).
If the Client is not yet managed setupCompositing
will not update the decoration - it will be handled
by manage later on.
Furthermore if compositing is not active, setup
compositing does not have to perform any action.
REVIEW: 104758
By moving the query for effects into an own thread the
startup does not have to wait till all effects are loaded.
The thread moves the loading of the effects after the
Window Manager and Compositor has been fully initialized.
This is possible as EffectsHandler is fully functional even
without any effects.
The compositor ensures that at least one frame is rendered
before the started thread returns which makes the complete
startup more responsive.
REVIEW: 104583
Instead of getting the information from CompositingPrefs
the running KWin instance is queried through D-Bus.
In general the running KWin should have more information
about whether Compositing will work or not.
This means the kcm no longer has to link OpenGL.
REVIEW: 104753
Detecting CompositingPrefs invokes an external program. Waiting
for this can be moved in a second thread.
Due to the introduction of the thread the initialization order
of KWin is changed: the WindowManager is initialized before the
Compositor. Interestingly this makes KWin felt more responsive
as the screen is not frozen for several seconds.
REVIEW: 104579
Toplevel::setupCompositing returns a boolean value and returns
false in the cases where it has not setup compositing.
This is used by the specialization on Client to not perform the
Client specific setup if Toplevel has not setup.
REVIEW: 104767
This patch adds a new function Toplevel::addLayerRepaint, that in contrast
to addWorkspaceRepaint does not invalidate every blur texture cache that
overlaps with that region. As the name suggests it rather invalidates the
to the window associated layer at that position. This is especially useful
in the case of move/resize events in combination with oxygen-transparent,
where the altered window is almost always the topmost window and the blur
texture cache of the windows underneath are unchanged.
For the case of fully opaque windows the behaviour of addLayerRepaint
and addWorkspaceRepaint should be same.

Due to changes in build system we have always either OpenGL or OpenGL ES.
This allows to remove the KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_COMPOSITING define. In the
effects the define is kept as KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL which can be used in
future to build also an XRender only effect system.
Building the workspaces requires to have all the build dependencies
which were required for KWIN_HAVE_COMPOSITING to be set. This allows
us to remove all the ifdefs for this and gives us a cleaner code.
Removes the Extension::glxAvailable() from kwinglobals and
implements the functionality in CompositingPrefs, where it
is only needed. There used to be one additional check in
scene_opengl_glx.cpp which is moved into composite.cpp
before the OpenGL Scene is created.
REVIEW: 102002
Moved the function call of scene->windowAdded() to setupComposition() of
Toplevel. The function calls from Workspace were removed, since
windowAdded() is called by setupCompositing() now, which is called anyway.
REVIEW: 102047
So far we have not used the information that damage events are window-specific, resulting in the
behavior that we repainted the damaged area although it might be hidden behind another window.
E.g. the CPU-Monitor plasmoid is almost all day occluded by a browser etc. and before this patch
we have been repainting the appropiate area every time the plasmoid has been updated.
Thx to Thomas Lübking for optimizing the patch.

The HAVE_XCOMPOSITE_OVERLAY define had not been moved to the new
overlaywindow.cpp file causing the OverlayWindow to not be created
at all. In fact after moving the define to the new file the code
did not even compile as that code parts still used m_overlayWindow
instead of m_window.
The regression would have been easy to spot when testing with all
backends as the GLES/EGL backend still requires the overlay window.

and skip damage handling if the window is already completely damaged.
Also avoid QRegion handling during this since we know about the rects and
the region is handled when adding the damage anyway.
All the functionality of Overlay Window is moved to its own class
OverlayWindow. It is created and owned by class Scene, since almost
all function calls are called from this class.

Unmanaged needs to repaint the complete geometry including shadow
when it ends compositing. Therefore we need to track the shadow
passing to deleted correctly. Disadvantage: when turning off
compositing the shadow is kept. Need to solve in a better way!
For a complete documentation of new functionality refer to:
http://community.kde.org/KWin/Shadow
The current implementation includes a new Shadow class and Toplevel
holds a pointer to an instance of this class. The Shadow class reads
the data from the X11 Property. There is one extended class located
in SceneOpenGL to render the shadow.
Compositor is adjusted to include the shadow region into the painting
passes.
Implementation for XRender still missing and Shadow needs to respond
to size changes of the Toplevel to update cached shadow region and
WindowQuads.
The branch contains the first step in reworking the kwineffects
library. This includes:
* replacing virtuals by signals and slots
* dropping some unused methods
* remove KWin::TimeLine
More to come.
Conflicts:

It is not used by any effect, so we save one complete go through
all effects pass on each window damage.
The functionality which could be provided by this hook can also be
implemented using the window damaged signal.

This provides a significant performance improvement especially for Present Windows.
Whenever a lanczos resampling is done the resulted texture is cached, till the
window is damaged or a texture of different size is required. This means that
for a taskbar thumbnail the resampling only occurs once unless the window is damaged
and for present windows it only occurs when the windows are resized and then only
after the windows have already been moved. Highlighting windows does not cause
a resampling any more.
