Only emit paletteChanged signal and repaint decoration if the palette
actually changed. Even more important: check for path.isEmpty() instead
of path.isNull(). ::isNull() returns false for "" causing a costly
creation for default color scheme.

When map is called we need to repaint the complete area including
decoration shadows (e.g. might be called after unminimize). Therefore
we use a layer repaint with the visibleRect.

When a Client gets created the ::createDecoration method is invoked
from ::manage which is called before the Client is added to the
ClientList in Workspace. Thus processing the update fails in the
DecorationBridge as it cannot find the Client.
By delaying to the end of the event cycle we can be sure that the
Client is completely managed and that the scheduled repaint doesn't
fail.
This fixes the missing repaint when a Client starts as inactive.
We are only using the UrgencyHint, InputHint and GroupLeader from
WMHints. Those are provided by NETWinInfo, so we can use the
functionality provided by NETWinInfo instead of calling XGetWMHints.

Surprisingly the DecorationShadow is modelled after the Shadow in KWin.
It provides the same offsets and a QImage exactly like the OpenGL
implementation needs it. This makes it easy to hook it into our existing
Shadow implementation with only a few changes.
Shadow now first tries to create a Shadow from the Decoration and only
if that fails it tries the X11 property. The pixmaps are not initialized
for the DecorationShadow and because of that currently only the OpenGL
backend gets initialized for DecorationShadows. The other backends might
need adjustments and also a transition to just using one image.
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.
This is going to be a controversal change. It enforces KWin decorations
on all client side decorated windows from GTK+. Unfortunately we are
caught between a rock and a hard place. Keeping the status quo means
having broken windows and a more or less broken window manager due to
GTK+ including the shadow in the windows. This is no solution.
Enforcing server side decorations visually breaks the windows. This is
also no solution. So why do it?
It's our task to provide the best possible user experience and KWin is
a window manager which has always done great efforts to fix misbehaving
windows. One can think of the focus stealing prevention, the window rules
and lately the scripts. The best possible window management experience is
our aim. This means we cannot leave the users with the broken windows
from GTK.
The issues we noticed were reported to GTK+ about 2 months ago and we are
working on improving the situation. Unfortunately several issues are not
yet addressed and others will only be addressed in the next GTK+ release.
We are working on improving the NETWM spec (see [1]) to ensure that the
client side decorated windows are not in a broken state. This means the
enforcment is a temporary solution and will be re-evaluated with the next
GTK release. I would prefer to not have to do such a change, if some of
the bugs were fixed or GTK+ would not use client-side-decos on wms not
yet supporting those all of this would be a no issue.
For a complete list of the problems caused by GTK's decos see bug [2] and
the linked bug reports from there.
The change is done in a least inversive way in KWin. We just check for
the property _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS and create a Q_PROPERTY in Client for it.
If we add support for the frame extents in future we would also need
this. So it's not a change just for enforcing the decoration.
The actual enforcing is done through a KWin script so users can still
disable it.

Qt doesn't like that we reparent the decoration using low level xcb
calls. So let's use a QWindow wrapper for the frame and let Qt do
the reparenting itself.

Also with QWindow based decorations the event filter is needed to
properly react on mouse button release and mouse move. Those are not
passed through KDecoration unlike the button press.
The event filter is adjusted to handle both filters installed on QWidget
and QWindow while QWindow only gets to see a subset of the events.
This fixes mouse interaction in Aurorae.

The sync protocol with e.g. Qt 4 windows is broken if our app time is
older than the one of the last sync alarm event. Thus we keep a timestamp
in the syncRequest struct of the last sent sync request. If the timestamp
is newer than our xTime when sending the next request, we update the
xTime to ensure that we have a new timestamp again.

The Xcb::Property can wrap the xcb_get_property call and provides
convenient access methods to read the value of the reply with checks
applied. For this it provides a templated ::value method for reading a
single value or reading an array. There's also a ::toBool and
::toByteArray which performs the conversion directly with default values
for the type and format checks.
Xcb::TransientFor is changed to be derived from Property instead of
Wrapper directly, so that the reading of the property value can be
shared.
Xcb::StringProperty is a convenient wrapper derived from Property to
handle the reading of a string property providing a cast to QByteArray
operator. This replaces the ::getStringProperty from utils. Though the
separator functionality from ::getStringProperty is not provided as that
is only used in one function and handled there.
All the custom usages of xcb_get_property or getStringProperty are
replaced to use this new wrapper. That simplifies the code and ensures
that all properties are read in the same way.
