Currently, the EffectsHandler has two signals that are emitted when the
combined geometry of all outputs change - virtualScreenGeometryChanged()
and screenGeometryChanged(). Having two signals is most likely a
historical artifact.
This change untangles the screenGeometryChanged() signal from the
Workspace and makes it the same as the virtualScreenGeometryChanged()
signal.
Currently, there are a couple of issues with output querying on X11:
(a) if an output is changed, for example its transform has been changed,
then all outputs will be destroyed and created again
(b) it's possible to encounter the case where the platform has no
outputs. The X11Platform destroys all outputs, then queries new
outputs. The Workspace and AbstractClient sub-classes handle having
no outputs very poorly! It's even possible to hit a crash.
With this change, outputs will be queried similar to how it's done on
Wayland.
The current duration is 300ms, which is inappropriate for two reasons:
1. It's too slow
2. It doesn't match one of the standard durations. The effect should
ideally use those durations directly, but if this is not possible
for technical reasons, it should use the effective value of one of
those durations. Units.longDuration is 200ms which is the most
appropriate one to use here.
Therefore, change the animation duration from 300ms to 200ms to match
the standard Units.longDuration duration.

This makes it easier to spot if the effect is activated while there is
only one maximized window.
Note that anchors.margins cannot be used unfortunately as it won't take
effect until the ExpoLayout item is fully constructed. It may take a
couple of cycles for the geometry to settle down, which makes reasoning
about how the effect works difficult.
BUG: 312146
Once an animation starts due to property change, it cannot be easily
re-targeted. This can cause undesired animation jumps if a property
changes during startup (for example from 0 to its final value).
With this change, the window heap's animation will be disabled until
the effect starts the intro animation.
The ExpoLayout delays relayouting for optimization purposes. However,
this means that new geometry will be available only after returning to
the event loop.
This change delays starting the intro animation so it can be started
with new geometries.
It's confusing to have globalPos() and geometry() as both can return the
same information.
This change drops globalPos() function as it's not used outside the
AbstractWaylandOutput class and renames setGlobalPos() to moveTo() to
avoid having a setter without matching getter.
According to the Qt documentation, if an item overrides the
geometryChanged() method, it must call the base class method.
QQuickItem::geometryChanged() is responsible for emitting signals such
as xChanged(), yChanged(), etc.
It's the same as the currentDesktop except that it's a VirtualDesktop
object.
The main advantage of the currentVirtualDesktop property is that it
doesn't change if a virtual desktop is added or removed in the middle.
It also makes dealing with virtual desktop changes easier.
With the new virtual desktops model, a window can be on several virtual
desktops. Currently, scripts have no any way to get the list of desktops
the window is on. This change addresses that.
Currently, window thumbnails may be placed behind the panel, which
doesn't look good.
With this, the window heap will cover the same area as the maximize
area.
