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.
Test Plan: Compiles.

code style updates.

Summary:
In a recent patch the newly added xwayland class ended up being
responsible for continuing the startup, calling back into the main app
to spawn the workspace.
It moves the flow of startup about so it's not very readable or
following class structure.
This patch moves the code back into main_wayland and removes the
duplication between xwayland and non-xwayland modes.
There was also a misnaming of methods.
Previously:
continueStartupWithScreens was called after platform screens are created
continueStartupWithScene was called after the scene was created
continueStartupWithXwayland was called before xwayland is created
This was confusing, so the names have been shuffled around to follow a
consistent pattern of what has been done so far.
Test Plan:
Started kwin_wayland in normal and xwayland mode
Ran unit tests (though some failed due to a local unrelated and as yet unindentified bug)

Summary:
Some X clients acting as drag sources might try to optimize finding the current
target window by checking if a window manager, that sets the root window
_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING property, is present. An example for this is Chromium
and since KWin sets the property the drag proxy windows must be added to this
list. Otherwise the origin client will not detect the proxy window and not send
an XdndEnter message.
Test Plan: Manually with Chromium.

Summary:
On X several target atoms are established to provide data similar to the
text/uri-list target format (the respective MIME on Wayland is called
text/x-uri).
Firefox can send link data in the NETSCAPE_URL format ones. Chromium on the
other side sends link data in the text/x-moz-url format, which transports
UTF-16 text.
For both these peculiarities this patch provides converter functions, that
translate these formats into the Wayland native text/x-uri format. In the
other direction no translation is necessary. Both browsers supports the
text/uri-list format when receiving link lists.
Test Plan: Manually with Firefox and Chromium.

Summary:
Building upon the generic X Selection support this patch establishes another
selection class representing the XDND selection and provides interfaces
to communicate drags originating from Xwayland windows to the Wayland
server KWin and drags originating from Wayland native drags to Xwayland.
For Wayland native drags KWin will claim the XDND selection as owner and
will simply translate all relevant events to the XDND protocol and receive
alike messages by X clients.
When an X client claims the XDND selection KWin is notified via the X protocol
and it decides if it allows the X drag to transcend into the Wayland protocol.
If this is the case the mouse position is tracked and on entering a Wayland
native window a proxy X Window is mapped to the top of the window stack. This
proxy window acts as a drag destination for the drag origin window and again
X messages will be translated into respective Wayland protocol calls. If the
cursor leaves the Wayland window geometry before a drop is registered, the
proxy window is unmapped, what triggers a subsequent drag leave event.
In both directions the necessary core integration is minimal. There is a single
call to be done in the drag and drop event filter through the Xwayland
interface class.
From my tests this patch facilitates drags between any Qt/KDE apps. What needs
extra care are the browsers, which use target formats, that are not directly
compatible with the Wayland protocol's MIME representation. For Chromium an
additional integration step must be done in order to provide it with a net
window stack containing the proxy window.
Test Plan: Manually. Auto tests planned.

Summary:
In this patch an infrastructure is created to represent generic X selections
in a Wayland session and use them for data transfers between Xwayland windows
and Wayland native clients.
The central manager is the DataBridge class, in which Selection objects can be
created. This is hard-coded and such a Selection object persists until the end
of the session, so no arbitrary selections can be created on the fly. For now
the X Clipboard selection is supported, whose corresponding mechanism in the
Wayland protocol is just called Selection.
A Selection object listens for selection owner changes on the X side and for
similar events into the Wayland server interfaces. If a data provider is
available a selection source object is created by the Selection object. In case
data is requested on the other side, a data transfer is initialized by creating
a Transfer object. A Selection keeps track of all transfers and makes sure that
they are destroyed when they are finished or in case they idle because of
misbehaving clients.
The Clipboard class translates the X Clipboard via a proxy window. Selection
changes on the Wayland side are listened to through a new signal on the active
KWayland seat interface.
The previously used X clipboard syncer helper is disabled. The clipboard sync
autotest is changed to the new mechanism.
BUG: 394765
BUG: 395313
Test Plan: Manually and clipboard sync autotest.

Summary:
By using the new Xwayland class we can reduce code duplication.
An abstract parent class is introduced, that allows interfacing
with the Xwayland class from the test binaries.
Test Plan: Autotests still pass.

Summary:
The Xwayland code path is moved from ApplicationWayland to a dedicated class
Xwayland in a new top-level directory xwl.
This is a direct preparation step for generic support of Xwayland Selections.
On a longer timescale this should also allow us to further separate Wayland
native functionality from Xwayland to allow us at one point to build KWin's
Wayland binary optionally without X dependencies. Another long term goal, that
becomes possible through this separation is to recover from Xwayland crashes.
Test Plan: Manually and auto tests
