Scripted effects follow the Plamsoid package structure and the effect
loader recognizes a scripted effect at the according line in the desktop
file. If it is a scripted effect a different loader is used which
instantiates an object of the ScriptedEffect class. This class inherits
the AnimationEffect and exports the animate method and the EffectsHandler.
This script allows to have video fullscreen windows span all attached
screens creating a video wall.
This replaces the removed functionality that you could disable
xinerama support inside KWin for fullscreen windows.

Scripts are found by the KServiceTypeTrader and can now be
enabled/disabled. Loading of config is currently disabled. Will
be made available again after scripted effects are merged.
A new service type is introduced which is used by the KCM to find
all available window switcher layouts. This makes it finally possible
to have 3rd party window switchers.
Also the tabbox finds the packaged QML file through the service
definitions.
Desktop switcher is not yet in packaged version (UI to configure
is missing).

Unlike stated at several places in the code it is not difficult to
setup the connections to all Clients.
It would have been nice if the failed attempts to connect the Clients
would not have made it into the code as emitted signals which are
nowhere used. Not to mention that like in all places the signals to
inform that a state changed were emitted before the state changed was
performed.
This includes the delegates, the layout configuration for the delegates
and the custom view for the TabBox.
This can now finally be done as desktop tabbox is based on QML, too.
For this properties are defined in ClientGroup and several methods
are changed to be slots (to be invokable from scripts). On Client
the clientGroup is exported as a property.
The existing wrapper around ClientGroup is dropped as it is no
longer needed. Interestingly it was wrong anyway as it allowed to
construct a new ClientGroup, which has to be done internally.
At the same time the meta declarations get cleaned up a little bit.
Whatever it was, we cannot need a "Lazy Logic (TM)" which is not
documented. And even if it were useful, KWin is not the right place
to develop language extensions to ECMAScript.
Dropping the wrapper around Client and just exporting the Client's
properties. This breaks all existing scripts as it's now e.g.:
client.caption
instead of
client.caption()
But the first one is the more natural one for JavaScript and also
for everyone writing QML as well.
Setters and signals are mostly still missing in client. Other parts
like ClientGroup must be converted to properties, too.
A new QML item "ThumbnailItem" is registered to the TabBox. The
C++ implementation finds the EffectWindow of the TabBox and adds
itself to the EffectWindow.
While rendering the EffectWindow the information for all registered
ThumbnailItems are extracted and the thumbnail is rendered on top
of the EffectWindow.
This has obvious limitations like you cannot put other QML items
on top of the thumbnail. Nevertheless it works well enough to
be a possible replacement for e.g. BoxSwitch effect.
When compositing is disabled an icon is rendered instead of the
Thumbnail.
One TabBox Layout inspired by BoxSwitch Effect is added. For the
KCM small pre-rendered items are used.

All the default layouts (informative, compact, text, small and big icons)
are rewritten in QML and replace the ListView used before. The old code
is still around for the desktop switching modes which are not yet ported.
Next steps include to update the configuration module to not show now
obsoleted settings as well as providing a better way to choose the layout.

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.
if both the GLES and EGL libs and headers are found.
Fold all the includes and libraries into 1 varaible each and use those.
in other words, you need to have both OpenGLES and EGL to do a successful build.
If we have OpenGL ES but not OpenGL the KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL is set
causing the first compile pass to fail as it tries to build
against OpenGL. As a solution the first pass links against
OpenGL ES if OpenGL is not found.
This means both kwin and kwin_gles are built against GLES.
A build option is introduced to file CMakeLists.txt. Classes Tiling,
Tile and TilingLayouts are only built if the option is set to ON. #ifdef's
are added to the classes where functions of the excluded classes are called.
KWin gets compiled twice if OpenGL ES is available
and a second binary is created. It is linked against
the GLES effects and kwinglesutils and does not link
against OpenGL. The normal OpenGL variant is still
the "kwin" binary.
This is an intermediate step till we have the scene
as a loadable plugin. Then we will determine whether
OpenGL ES is supported in an external application
and load it as a plugin, otherwise we load the
OpenGL/GLX scene as a plugin.

It is possible that adding this build option broke the Scripting
component. This is something that should not happen. Unfortunately
by just ifdefing everything scripting related with scripting enabled
we have build errors. These are caused by the fact that the scripting
code includes e.g. client.h through "./../client.h". At one offending
place I changed that to "client.h", but there is also a client.h in
the scripting directory.
The includes and naming of the scripting files clearly have to be fixed!
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.

This build option can be used to simplify the build settings for
the usage of KWin in Plasma Active. It includes:
* no decorations
* no kcms
* no tabbox
* only mobile effects
* turns on OpenGL ES (if available)
