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.
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:
Change so we track track and set a DataSource instead of a DataDevice
This means we have to reverse a connection:
- we need to update Seat with our selection only when our selection is
received by the DataDeviceInterface
- we no longer need to track and watch a dataDevice for changes after
the seat emits selectionChange
Change so that we handle an AbstractDataSource. Meaning we can paste
from clipboard managers.
Testing done:
There is an existing xwayland-selections_test
This still passes.

Summary:
Building upon the generic X Selection support this patch establishes another
selection class representing the XDND selection and provides interfaces
to communicate drags originating from Xwayland windows to the Wayland
server KWin and drags originating from Wayland native drags to Xwayland.
For Wayland native drags KWin will claim the XDND selection as owner and
will simply translate all relevant events to the XDND protocol and receive
alike messages by X clients.
When an X client claims the XDND selection KWin is notified via the X protocol
and it decides if it allows the X drag to transcend into the Wayland protocol.
If this is the case the mouse position is tracked and on entering a Wayland
native window a proxy X Window is mapped to the top of the window stack. This
proxy window acts as a drag destination for the drag origin window and again
X messages will be translated into respective Wayland protocol calls. If the
cursor leaves the Wayland window geometry before a drop is registered, the
proxy window is unmapped, what triggers a subsequent drag leave event.
In both directions the necessary core integration is minimal. There is a single
call to be done in the drag and drop event filter through the Xwayland
interface class.
From my tests this patch facilitates drags between any Qt/KDE apps. What needs
extra care are the browsers, which use target formats, that are not directly
compatible with the Wayland protocol's MIME representation. For Chromium an
additional integration step must be done in order to provide it with a net
window stack containing the proxy window.
Test Plan: Manually. Auto tests planned.

Summary:
In this patch an infrastructure is created to represent generic X selections
in a Wayland session and use them for data transfers between Xwayland windows
and Wayland native clients.
The central manager is the DataBridge class, in which Selection objects can be
created. This is hard-coded and such a Selection object persists until the end
of the session, so no arbitrary selections can be created on the fly. For now
the X Clipboard selection is supported, whose corresponding mechanism in the
Wayland protocol is just called Selection.
A Selection object listens for selection owner changes on the X side and for
similar events into the Wayland server interfaces. If a data provider is
available a selection source object is created by the Selection object. In case
data is requested on the other side, a data transfer is initialized by creating
a Transfer object. A Selection keeps track of all transfers and makes sure that
they are destroyed when they are finished or in case they idle because of
misbehaving clients.
The Clipboard class translates the X Clipboard via a proxy window. Selection
changes on the Wayland side are listened to through a new signal on the active
KWayland seat interface.
The previously used X clipboard syncer helper is disabled. The clipboard sync
autotest is changed to the new mechanism.
