Currently, dealing with sub-surfaces is very difficult due to the scene
design being heavily influenced by X11 requirements.
The goal of this change is to re-work scene abstractions to make improving
the wayland support easier.
The Item class is based on the QQuickItem class. My hope is that one day
we will be able to transition to QtQuick for painting scene, but in
meanwhile it makes more sense to have a minimalistic internal item class.
The WindowItem class represents a window. The SurfaceItem class represents
the contents of either an X11, or a Wayland, or an internal surface. The
DecorationItem and the ShadowItem class represent the server-side deco and
drop-shadow, respectively.
At the moment, the SurfaceItem is bound to the scene window, but the long
term plan is to break that connection so we could re-use the SurfaceItem
for things such as software cursors and drag-and-drop additional icons.
One of the responsibilities of the Item is to schedule repaints as needed.
Ideally, there shouldn't be any addRepaint() calls in the core code. The
Item class schedules repaints on geometry updates. In the future, it also
has to request an update if its opacity or visibility changes.
Our wayland interface lifespan only needs to live as long as the window
is mapped.
Given this corresponds directly to the lifespan of AbstractClient we can
just set a parent and everything is handled implicitly.
We're now sharing most of the X11Client activity behavior accross all
clients. This allows to cleanup some of the existing virtuals and remove
quite a bit of code overalls.
Has to introduce an extra platform specific hook since X11Client
serializes the activity information in an atom and we will probably need
to do something similar on the Wayland platform at some point.
This allows us to start interacting with the activities with kwin
wayland. They are not restored properly accross sessions though since
nothing is really persisted and the session management still seems to
be amiss.
The contents of the if branch is identical to the implementation of the
Toplevel::damageNotifyEvent() function and setReadyForPainting() will
never be called because m_syncRequest.isPending can be true only if the
window supports sync counters.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
