Currently, if a window switches between SSD and CSD, it is possible to
encounter a "corrupted" state where the server-side decoration is wrapped
around the window while it still has the client-side decoration.
The xdg-decoration protocol fixes this problem by saying that decoration
updates are bound to xdg_surface configure events.
At the moment, kwin sort of applies decoration updates immediately. With
this change, decoration updates will be done according to the spec.
If the compositor wants to create a decoration, it will send a configure
event and apply the decoration when the configure event is acked by the
client. In order to send the configure event with a good window geometry
size, kwin will create the decoration to query the border size but not
assign it to the client yet. As is, KDecoration api doesn't make
querying the border size ahead of time easy. The decoration plugin can
assign arbitrary border sizes to windows as it pleases it. We could change
that, but it effectively means starting KDecoration3 and setting existing
window deco ecosystem around kwin on fire the second time, that's off the
table.
If the compositor wants to remove the decoration, it will send a
configure event. When the configure event is acked and the surface is
committed, the window decoration will be destroyed.
Sync'ing decoration updates to configure events ensures that we cannot
end up with having both client-side and server-side decoration. It also
helps us to fix a bunch of geometry related issues caused by creating
and destroying the decoration without any surface buffer attached yet.

Many effects use the stacking order property of the effects handler in
their constructors. This means that windows should have compositing
setup by the time effects are loaded.
After changing how binary effect plugins are loaded, i.e. not queueing
loading effects, but loading them immediately, some effects broke
because the effects handler is created before windows setup compositing.
This change attempts to fix those effects by rearranging compositor
startup code so windows setup compositing first, then create the effects
pointer.
move() and resize() functions are not convenience helpers around the
moveResize() function. They communicate what kwin wants to see after the
corresponding change is applied. It's needed to make asynchronous
geometry updates work.
This change replaces a moveResize() during XdgToplevelClient
initialization with explicit move() and resize() function calls instead,
so it's more clear what the expected end result is.
A few plasma components cache QSGTexture. Those components rely on
texture references going away with QSGNode users. However, with the
current tear down logic, OffscreenQuickView won't destroy any paint
nodes.
Destroy QQuickRenderControl before QQuickWindow to ensure that are no
paint nodes left alive after OffscreenQuickView.

For all the task switchers on my system there is no KCM installed:
```bash
rg 'X-KDE-ParentComponents=(PlasmaXLight|org.kde.breeze.desktop|org.kde.breezedark.desktop|org.kde.breezetwilight.desktop|org.kde.breeze.desktop|org.kde.breezedark.desktop|org.kde.breezetwilight.desktop|org.kde.plasma.mycroft.bigscreen|small_icons|big_icons|compact|text|present_windows|thumbnail_grid|thumbnails|informative)'
```
As the docs state, this is only for buildin effects. Which means it is internal API.
Also I consider the choice of displaying a KCM *or* the preview odd, IMHO the preview
is the most important part.
I stumbled upon this when reviewing the metadata files as part of the preparation
for https://phabricator.kde.org/T14564.
Also this way of plugin loading is discouraged for performance reasons, because all the
plugins from the namespace have to be reopened to get their metadata.
Use standard easing curves in animations. OutCubic for the intro
animation and the InCubic for the outro animation.
Hidden opacity options were removed because I don't think they are
needed anymore. I made the starting opacity 0.4 to make the animation
look closer to what it would have been with an ease-out curve without
realizing it.
The output management test checks the implementation of output
management capabilities in the virtual backend, which is not helpful.
This change replaces it with a more useful test that verifies how
windows are placed after an output change.
TestXdgShellClientRules implicitly assumes that the kwinrc config is
referenced only by the RuleBook object.
However, after changing the default placement policy in the
WaylandTestApplication, that's no longer the case. The kwinApp() object
now also holds a reference to the main config file. Because of that,
previous window rules leak to next tests, which breaks them.
In order to address that issue, this change makes TestXdgShellClientRules
open a separate config and wipe it clean after each test run. Not great,
but there doesn't seem to be other way around with current KSharedConfig
api.
Currently, if you move the cursor really fast between two outputs, there
may be stuck cursor on the previous output.
We need to query the old cursor visibility status before updating the
cursor position, otherwise the drm backend may not schedule an update to
move the cursor offscreen.
It's fine to have the animation duration hardcoded to 250ms. The main
issue with reading kscreen effect's config is that it adds inter-effect
dependencies, which is simply not worth the trouble.
The intro and the outro animations are very short and they usually
affect all windows on the screen. Windows have to travel a lot and in
very short time, this doesn't look.
Similar to other windows, this change makes the overview effect use the
out cubic curve for window movements (even though the HIG suggests us
using the InOutCubic easing curve). That way, user will look at
flatter parts of the easing curve more, i.e. the windows would move less
chaotically and simply jump to their target position.
Similar to the WindowHeap, this change makes the overview effect use the
out cubic everywhere else so the intro and the outro animations look
coherent.
Another advantage of the OutCubic easing curve is that it makes the
overview effect look more responsive and subtle.
Currently, the wayland server updates the server side decoration mode,
which is counter-intuitive, because it doesn't cache the last preferred mode.
With ServerSideDecorationInterface::preferredMode(), it can be simpler.
It's more common to see the parent object being the last argument in Qt
and this way you won't need to specify nullptr parent explicitly if the
xdg-popup or the xdg-toplevel surface doesn't need to be configured
implicitly, which makes tests slightly easier to read.
This commit does away with the special handling of the legacy cursor and
makes it be applied directly in DrmPipeline, using the same state as the
atomic cursor and without dirty flags.
Effect loading is already tested using integration tests, for example
the maximize test verifies that the maximize effect is loaded _and_ it
actually does something useful when a window is maximized or restored,
testScriptedEffectLoader only verifies that the effect is loaded, which
is less helpful than what integration tests provide us.
But perhaps the main problem with these tests is that they require us
building a mockverse around them. This litters code with ifdef
preprocessor directives and makes changing such code a living nightmare.
Another problem with these two tests is that they cannot use OpenGL
because it means mocking OpenGL, which we obviously not going to do.
With integration tests, it's not a problem.
The bottom line is that unit tests can be useful but they make life
notoriously difficult when it comes to testing components that depend on
other components.
The cursor being set out-of-band with atomic commits creates problems
because it can create false positive for atomic tests, if the cursor
state gets changed in between an atomic test and its matching commit.
This commit also ports the cursor to a swapchain instead of only one
image. This is not strictly required but may prevent artifacts and
will be needed for future optimisations.
Currently, kwin expects that the xdg-decoration is installed before the
initial commit. However, decoration tests do that after the initial
commit, which makes testMaximizeAndChangeDecorationModeAfterInitialCommit()
silently pass.
On a second look, it seems that the xdg-decoration spec is okay with the
xdg-decoration being created after the first commit (as long as it's
done before the surface is mapped). This needs to be fixed separately.

Context properties don't work with QML effects. At the moment, no effect
needs to access the options object, but it makes the QML API consistent.
The workspace is already a singleton type.
