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.
If the Xwayland process crashes, it will bring down the entire session
together with itself. Obviously, we don't want that. At least, Wayland
clients should survive the crash.
This change refactors relevant X11 parts to handle Xwayland crashes in a
less fatal way.
In order to handle Xwayland crashes better, a pair of start() and stop()
methods had been introduced in the Xwayland class to allow starting and
stopping the Xwayland process at any moment.
If we detect that the Xwayland process has crashed, we will immediately
stop the Xwayland server, which in its turn will deactivate the socket
notifier and destroy all connected X11 clients. Unfortunately, a couple
of subtle changes in X11Client::releaseWindow() and Unmanaged::release()
had to be made to ensure that we are left with a valid state after the
Xwayland server has been stopped.
In rare cases, Workspace::restoreFocus() may fail, for example when the
most recently activated client is about to be destroyed or unmapped.
If it happens that we cannot restore the focus, then mark the window in
FocusIn event as active.

Currently the only way for a uuser to invoke corner-tiling is to
manually set shortcuts for them. This patch adds another option: invoke
the existing shortcuts for edge tiling in a combined manner in quick
succession.
For example, hitting Meta+Left and then Meta+Up within a one-second
period will tile the active window into the top left corner. In practice
you hold down the Meta key and then press Left then Up (or Up and then
Left), and I think it feels very natural. Linux Mint's window manager
has this feature and I always missed it when I left Mint for the KDE
world.
Autotests for existing tiling shortcuts are adjusted to not break, and
additional tests for the new tiling options are added.
Summary:
On X11, Workspace stores windows in two lists. One with desktop windows
and the other one with all other windows. On Wayland, desktop windows
and normal windows are stored in the same list - m_allClients.
In order to unify scripting on X11 and Wayland, this change makes the
Workspace class store X11 desktop windows and normal X11 windows in the
same list. It's the responsibility of scripts to filter desktop windows.

Currently, if one wants to monitor for new X11 and Wayland clients, they
have to listen for two signals. Workspace::clientAdded() is emitted only
for X11 and Xwayland clients, while WaylandServer::shellClientAdded() is
emitted only for xdg-shell clients. Such design doesn't scale well.
As the first towards emitting Workspace::clientAdded() for new Wayland
clients, this change replaces the X11Client parameter in the clientAdded
signal with AbstractClient.

Summary:
Qt has its own thing where a type might also have corresponding list
alias, e.g. QObject and QObjectList, QWidget and QWidgetList. I don't
know why Qt does that, maybe for some historical reasons, but what
matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example
QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList
in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?
Another problem with these typedefs is that you need to include utils.h
header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.
So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
change drops some of our custom typedefs. Namely ConstClientList,
ClientList, DeletedList, UnmanagedList, ToplevelList, and GroupList.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
Currently kwin opens a second ICE connection to ksmserver in order to
tell the state of kwin's whether we're logging out and saving clients or
not.
This requires that kwin launches after ksmserver to have the connection
which is a dependency I want to break.
Practically this code is already ksmserver specific as it relies on some
custom code that sends the first saveState request to kwin first.
Instead we can replace it with a bespoke IPC over DBus and siplify the
code both end. This will allow several other future enhancements that we
want with regards to handling the session state, as well as make an
effort platform agnostic session management, as well as cleaning up some
complex code.
Ksmserver calls into kwin, rather than having kwin watch ksmserver state
to allow us make sure it's race free.

Summary:
Currently each managed X11 client is represented with an instance of
Client class, however the name of that class is very generic and the
only reason why it's called that way is because historically kwin
was created as an x11 window manager, so "Client" was a sensible choice.
With introduction of wayland support, things had changed and therefore
Client needs to be renamed to X11Client in order to better reflect what
that class stands for.
Renaming of Client to X11Client was agreed upon during the last KWin
sprint.
Test Plan: Compiles, the test suite is still green.

Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

variable to check whether the stacking order is dirty and guards the X11
specific code to only be run if we have an X11 connection.
This is to my current knowledge the last remaining issue where X11 was
used during the normal Wayland operation mode. Now it should be possible
to re-order the Workspace startup [1] and try to run kwin_wayland without
Wayland support.

Summary:
KWin passes the current keysym converted to a Qt::Key in the QKeyEvent.
The current keysym does not always change when a key gets released, so
when pressing a shortcut the release carry a Qt::Key which could be
considered as wrong.
QtWayland transforms the actual pressed/released key into a keysym and
passes that through the QKeyEvent. This change does the same for the
internal windows. A new QKeyEvent is created and adjusted in a way that
it matches what Qt expects.
Why not change everything to how Qt expects it? The key is used at
various places and in KWin internally we expect the behavior how it is
currently implemented. So it's better to use Qt's expectation only when
interacting with Qt.
Also the change carries a workaround for a bug in QKeySequenceEdit
(see QTBUG-62102) and transforms Super to Meta. As this adjustment only
makes sense for the internal windows we need to send in an adjusted
QKeyEvent anyway, so another argument for using the Qt behavior only in
this place.
Test Plan:
Can set a shortcut on Wayland and it can be used to activate
the window.
