The major difference between this version and the previous is that kwin
no longer forwards the opacity to the app window if it runs as a
window window manager and a compositing manager. As Keith Packard said [1]

There are a couple of reasons to do so: (a) simplifies code, (b) we don't
temper with opacities on override-redirect windows.

With xdg-toplevel windows, the value of the "no border" property can be
sometimes out of sync with the fact whether the window is decorated. This
may result in Deleted windows being frameless.
In order to address that issue, we need to store the current value of
AbstractClient::isDecorated() during the construction of Deleted.
AnimationEffect schedules repaints in postPaintWindow() and performs
cleanup in preScreenPaint(). With the X11-style rendering, this doesn't
have any issues, scheduled repaints will be reset during the next
compositing cycle.
But with per screen rendering, we might hit the following case
- Paint screen 0
- Reset scheduled repaints
- AnimationEffect::prePaintScreen(): update the timeline
- AnimationEffect::postPaintScreen(): schedule a repaint
- Paint screen 1
- Reset scheduled repaints
- AnimationEffect::prePaintScreen(): destroy the animation
- AnimationEffect::postPaintScreen(): no repaint is scheduled
- Return to the event loop
In this scenario, the repaint region scheduled by AnimationEffect will
be lost when compositing is performed on screen 1.
There is no any other way to fix this issue but maintain repaint regions
per each individual screen if per screen rendering is enabled.
BUG: 428439
The sliding popups effect schedules a repaint and then unreferences the
deleted window. The problem with doing so is that the scheduled repaint
will be effectively discarded because the Deleted will be destroyed once
we are back in the event loop.
This issue is most noticeable on Wayland. Not sure why. If you close
Kickoff, you may see its flickering ghost in background.
If it happens that a Deleted has a pending repaint, transform it into a
workspace repaint to avoid discarding any scheduled repaints.
Toplevel::debug() is one of annoyances that you need to deal with when
implementing a new client type. It can be tempting to just write "this"
to the stream, but it will result in a crash.
In order to make implementing new client types easier, this change
introduces a debug stream insertion operator overload that works for all
kinds of the Toplevel class.
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.
In most cases, we don't need to react to client geometry changes, but in
code that deals with server-side window decorations, we need to react to
client geometry changes. The problem is that frame and client geometry
updates are not correlated even though there is a connection between the
frame geometry and the client geometry.
This change introduces the client geometry in the Toplevel class in order
to allow monitoring client geometry updates from DecoratedClientImpl.
Summary:
This change splits the XdgShellClient class to better match existing
abstractions in the xdg-shell protocol and fix a few issues related to
sending configure events.
In the new client classes, configure events are handled differently.
Instead of blocking configure events, we try to send them as late as
possible. Delaying configure events will let us merge changeMaximize()
for X11 clients and Wayland clients and it also fixes the bug where
we don't send the final configure event when user has finished resizing
a window.
Given that configure events are not sent immediately, XdgSurfaceClient
keeps the last requested frame geometry and the last requested client
geometry.
This patch doesn't intend to fix all issues in kwin's implementation of
the xdg-shell protocol. For example, we still handle surface unmapping
very poorly.
Test Plan: Tests pass.

This reverts commit 754b72d155.
In order to make the fix work, we need to redirect the client window
instead of the frame window. However, we cannot to do that because
Xwayland expects the toplevel window(in our case, the frame window)
to be redirected.
Another solution to the texture bleeding issue must be found.
CCBUG: 257566
CCBUG: 360549
Summary:
Since KDE 4.2 - 4.3 times, KWin doesn't paint window decorations on real
X11 windows, except when compositing is turned off. This leaves us with
a problem. The actual client contents is inside a larger texture with no
useful pixel data around it. This and decoration texture bleeding are
the main factors that contribute to 1px gap between the server-side
decoration and client contents with effects such as wobbly windows, and
zoom.
Another problem with naming frame pixmap instead of client pixmap is
that it doesn't quite go along with wayland. It only makes more difficult
to abstract window quad generation in the scene.
Since we don't actually need the frame window when compositing is on,
there is nothing that holds us from redirecting client windows instead
of frame windows. This will help us to fix the texture bleeding issue
and also help us with the ongoing redesign of the scene.
Test Plan: X11 clients are still composited.

Summary:
Currently our Scene is quite naive about geometry. It assumes that the
window frame wraps the attached buffer/client. While this is true for X11
clients, such geometry model is not suitable for client-side decorated
clients, in our case for xdg-shell clients that set window geometry
other than the bounding rectangle of the main surface.
In general, the proposed solution doesn't make any concrete assumptions
about the order between frame and buffer geometry, however we may still
need to reconsider the design of Scene once it starts to generate quads
for sub-surfaces.

Summary:
So far the window geometry from xdg-shell wasn't implemented as it should
be. A toplevel must have two geometries assigned to it - frame and buffer.
The frame geometry describes bounds of the client excluding server-side
and client-side drop-shadows. The buffer geometry specifies rectangle on
the screen occupied by the main surface.
State and geometry handling in XdgShellClient is still a bit broken. This
change doesn't intend to fix that, it must be done in another patch asap.

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:
Because KWin is a very old project, we use three kinds of null pointer

nullptr keyword.
This change converts all usages of 0 and NULL literal to nullptr. Even
though it breaks git history, we need to do it in order to have consistent
code as well to ease code reviews (it's very tempting for some people to
add unrelated changes to their patches, e.g. converting NULL to nullptr).

EffectWindow proxies its properties from the client/deleted's

QObject::property(char*) is a slow string search. It's a loop

QML's use of properties is different, there's a property cache.
It's fetched multiple times for every window in every paint of some
effects (such as blur). Hotspot shows this as a significant amount of
the render pass (X11) with nothing in kwin animating.
This patch replaces the macro that does
parent()->property("propertyName")
with a macro calling the relevant function directly without metaobjects.

This describes an additional offset for the client content. On X11
our client content position matches with the window - the window
decoration is part of the overall content coordinate system.
On Wayland the content is an own texture starting at 0/0. Thus a
mapping to texture coordinates will be required when server side
decorations are provided. The new information is used in the scene's
to adjust the rendering and generating of quads.
It's possible that the Deleted gets created before destroying Workspace
and due to the deleteLater outlives Workspace. In that case we may not
call into Workspace as this might crash.
AbstractClient::mainClients is virtual and overriden in Client,
allMainClients has only a common implementation in AbstractClient.
In activation.cpp we still need one case where a temporary ClientList
needs to be constructed. Once transients are fully migrated that should
be removable again.
Toplevel::windowRole accesses WinInfo unconditionally causing crashes
if we have a Toplevel subclass which doesn't use WinInfo. So let's
make it virtual and copy to Deleted.
This was suggested to be done in a comment. The existing code might
have returned incorrect results for Client. So let's get the primary
window type and use that one.
Toplevel::opacity() accesses the WinInfo, but for a Wayland client
we won't have the opacity through the WinInfo, so let's have it as
a virtual method that a subclass can override. Also it needs to be
copied to Deleted to not have a Deleted of a Wayland client crash
because it accesses the not existing WinInfo.
The Renderer gets reparented to the Deleted. While passing it to
the Deleted the Scene's implementation can ensure that the buffers
are up to date. After passing to Deleted it's no longer allowed to
call the render method.
NOTE: this is not working completely yet, lots of code is still ifdefed
other parts are still broken.
The main difference for the new decoration API is that it is neither
QWidget nor QWindow based. It's just a QObject which processes input
events and has a paint method to render the decoration. This means all
the workarounds for the QWidget interception are removed. Also the paint
redirector is removed. Instead each compositor has now its own renderer
which can be optimized for the specific case. E.g. the OpenGL compositor
renders to a scratch image which gets copied into the combined texture,
the XRender compositor copies into the XPixmaps.
Input events are also changed. The events are composed into QMouseEvents
and passed through the decoration, which might accept them. If they are
not accpted we assume that it's a press on the decoration area allowing
us to resize/move the window. Input events are not completely working
yet, e.g. wheel events are not yet processed and double click on deco
is not yet working.
Overall KDecoration2 is way more stateful and KWin core needs more
adjustments for it. E.g. borders are allowed to be disabled at any time.
