Effects are given the interval between two consecutive frames. The main
flaw of this approach is that if the Compositor transitions from the idle
state to "active" state, i.e. when there is something to repaint,
effects may see a very large interval between the last painted frame and
the current. In order to address this issue, the Scene invalidates the
timer that is used to measure time between consecutive frames before the
Compositor is about to become idle.
While this works perfectly fine with Xinerama-style rendering, with per
screen rendering, determining whether the compositor is about to idle is
rather a tedious task mostly because a single output can't be used for
the test.
Furthermore, since the Compositor schedules pointless repaints just to
ensure that it's idle, it might take several attempts to figure out
whether the scene timer must be invalidated if you use (true) per screen
rendering.
Ideally, all effects should use a timeline helper that is aware of the
underlying render loop and its timings. However, this option is off the
table because it will involve a lot of work to implement it.
Alternative and much simpler option is to pass the expected presentation
time to effects rather than time between consecutive frames. This means
that effects are responsible for determining how much animation timelines
have to be advanced. Typically, an effect would have to store the
presentation timestamp provided in either prePaint{Screen,Window} and
use it in the subsequent prePaint{Screen,Window} call to estimate the
amount of time passed between the next and the last frames.
Unfortunately, this is an API incompatible change. However, it shouldn't
take a lot of work to port third-party binary effects, which don't use the
AnimationEffect class, to the new API. On the bright side, we no longer
need to be concerned about the Compositor getting idle.
We do still try to determine whether the Compositor is about to idle,
primarily, because the OpenGL render backend swaps buffers on present,
but that will change with the ongoing compositing timing rework.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
KWindowSystem provides a plugin interface to have platform specific
implementations. So far KWin relied on the implementation in
KWayland-integration repository.
This is something I find unsuited, for the following reasons:
* any test in KWin for functionality set through the plugin would fail
* it's not clear what's going on where
* in worst case some code could deadlock
* KWin shouldn't use KWindowSystem and only a small subset is allowed
to be used
The last point needs some further explanation. KWin internally does not
and cannot use KWindowSystem. KWindowSystem (especially KWindowInfo) is
exposing information which KWin sets. It's more than weird if KWin asks
KWindowSystem for the state of a window it set itself. On X11 it's just
slow, on Wayland it can result in roundtrips to KWin itself which is
dangerous.
But due to using Plasma components we have a few areas where we use
KWindowSystem. E.g. a Plasma::Dialog sets a window type, the slide in
direction, blur and background contrast. This we want to support and
need to support. Other API elements we do not want, like for examples
the available windows. KWin internal windows either have direct access
to KWin or a scripting interface exposed providing (limited) access -
there is just no need to have this in KWindowSystem.
To make it more clear what KWin supports as API of KWindowSystem for
internal windows this change implements a stripped down version of the
kwayland-integration plugin. The main difference is that it does not use
KWayland at all, but a QWindow internal side channel.
To support this EffectWindow provides an accessor for internalWindow and
the three already mentioned effects are adjusted to read from the
internal QWindow and it's dynamic properties.
This change is a first step for a further refactoring. I plan to split
the internal window out of ShellClient into a dedicated class. I think
there are nowadays too many special cases. If it moves out there is the
question whether we really want to use Wayland for the internal windows
or whether this is just historic ballast (after all we used to use
qwayland for that in the beginning).
As the change could introduce regressions I'm targetting 5.16.
Test Plan:
new test case for window type, manual testing using Alt+Tab
for the effects integration. Sliding popups, blur and contrast worked fine.

Summary:
If you switch virtual desktops while krunner is sliding in, then
depending on whether your distro strips assert statements away,
KWin can crash.
The reason why it crashes is the sliding popups effect tries to unref
deleted windows that it hasn't referenced before (if there is an active
full screen effect, then popups won't be slided out, which in its turn
means that we won't reference deleted windows). So, in the end, the
refcount of those windows can be -1. That triggers an assert statement
in the destructor of the Deleted class, which checks whether the
refcount is equal to 0.
Popups are not slided while there is an active full screen effect because
we don't know what the full screen effect does.
This patch adjusts the sliding popups effect so it stops all active
animations when user switches virtual desktops or when a full screen
effect kicks in. We need to do that so the effect won't try to
unreference windows in postPaintWindow.
Visually, it doesn't look quite nice, but for now that's good enough.
A proper fix would be more complex: we would need to make sure that
full screen effects ignore sliding popups (and also maybe docks) and
perform some input redirection.

* Slightly improve readability;
* Check that offset and location have been passed;
* Sanitize slide in/out duration (if any of those is equal to 0, KWin
will crash).

Summary:
The existing Data struct has some serious problems:
(a) naming is not intuitive, SlideInterface uses more cleaner terminology
so let's use that (and because Wayland is the future);
(b) fadeInTime and fadeOutTime should be slideInDuration and slideOutDuration
respectively. The Sliding popups effect doesn't fade windows, it slides
them;
(c) mWindowsData should be m_animationsData because other parts of this
effect refer to it as "anim data"(e.g. setupAnimData).
This effect uses its own Location enum class instead of KWayland::
Server::SlideInterface::Location because it would be better to not
depend on platform specific data structures.
As a side effect, this change also fixes QHash abuse. The Sliding popups
effect is still hashing windows twice in prePaintWindow and paintWindow.
But I think that's acceptable because usually there would be only one
active sliding window.

This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
This fixes the sliding popups losing their contrast effect when
animating, less flicker.
In this patch, we temporarily force the contrast effect on, but only if
it hasn't been explicitely disabled. As soon as the animation stops, the
force flag is disabled again. For disappearing windows, we just set the
flag in the same way, but skip over the bookkeeping, since the window is
going to be deleted, anyway.

The supportInformation is extended to also read the properties
on all effects. In addition each effect can be queried just for
itself through D-Bus, e.g.:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformationForEffect kwin4_effect_blur
All effects are extended to provide their configured and read
settings through properties. In some cases also important

The KWin::TimeLine class was only a small wrapper around QTimeLine
without adding anything to QTimeLine what is not present in QTimeLine.
The initial idea was to make it possible to provide more curve shapes.
This is now obsoleted by Qt shipping more useful curves with QTimeLine.
So let's clean up a little bit and use QTimeLine directly instead of
the small wrapper.
All effects are adjusted to use QTimeLine directly.
Client and Unmanaged use a signal to notify that they are about to be closed.
The EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to those signals and emits the appropriate
windowClosed signal to which the effects are connected.
All previously existing windowAdded methods are renamed to slotWindowAdded.
EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to Workspace's clientAdded signal, which is
emitted a little bit earlier than the previous direct method call. This might
change behavior.
Another signal is added to Workspace to signal that an unmanaged is added.
