No longer needed in a Plasma2 world as the components have a thumbnail
component, so the hack to go over KWin to render the thumbnails is no
longer needed.

By not using a QQuickView it becomes possible to just use a
PlasmaCore.Dialog or a Quick.Window in the TabBox qml and thus it's
possible to simplify the qml code.
To support this a new SwitcherItem is introduced and exported to QML.
It's a simple QObject providing all the properties which used to be
exported to the root context. A declarative TabBox is expected to
use one of these items. The C++ side finds the Switcher and for that
supports the case that the SwitcherItem is the rootItem or a child
item.
A declarative TabBox has also to create a QQuickWindow, e.g. a
PlasmaCore.Dialog. The visibility of that window should be controlled
through the visible property on the SwitcherItem. The underlying C++
implementation assumes that a TabBox only uses one window (it needs to
get destroyed once it's hidden and included in highlight windows).
Thanks to this change it's no longer needed to reload the TabBox
whenever it gets shown or the alternative TabBox gets shown. Instead
the same QML script can get reused. Other created switchers are ignored
as the visible property won't be changed to true.
Most effects had a "collection" for one action. We don't need the
action collection, all it was used for is setting the object name.
With the removal of KActionCollection the effects do not need to link
XmlGui any more, though the dependency is still pulled in through
plasma.
The ActionCollection was only used for two features:
* setting the object name
* finding the action for retrieving it's shortcut
This can also be achieved by just setting the object name and searching
for the children of the Workspace singleton.
The modalActionSwitch was used to disable all of KWin's actions during
Alt+Tab. This is not needed as Alt+Tab uses a keyboard grab and thus
no action will be triggered anyway.
Furthermore the functionality had been broken for years. The effects
use an own KActionCollection so their actions aren't considered and
neither the scripts.
The functionality from KActionCollection is not used at all. It's
just for setting the object name. By not using the ActionCollection
to create the QAction and connecting the slot, it's also possible to
use the new compile time checked connect syntax.
This was not yet ported functionality. In addition the usage of
KActionCollection is removed as it's not needed - all it was used
for is setting the object name.
Client used to have dedicated methods for different icon sizes instead
of combining all pixmaps into one QIcon. This resulted in various parts
of KWin having different access to the icons:
* effects only got one pixmap of size 32x32
* decorations only got the 16x16 and 32x32 pixmaps combined into a QIcon
* tabbox could request all icon sizes, but only as pixmap
Now all sizes are available in one QIcon allowing to easily access the
best fitting icon in a given UI.
This looks mostly like dead code. The change got only emitted by the
KCMKeyboard on save. In ancient times this seems to have caused to
re-read the global shortcuts. Code got commented out during KDE4 times
and after several code refactors all that was left of it was discarding
the user actions menu.
Replaces one usage of KGlobalsettings. It might be a good idea to
move the connect into libkdecoration or into the options as it looks
like there is no need to reconfigure everything just because the fonts
changed.
Instead we generate an export header for kdeinit_kwin and use it
to declare the KWIN_EXPORT. With this change our libs don't include
any KDE4Support headers any more. One step closer to no KDE4Support.
