Window management features were written with synchronous geometry
updates in mind. Currently, this poses a big problem on Wayland because
geometry updates are done in asynchronous fashion there.
At the moment, geometry is updated in a so called pseudo-asynchronous
fashion, meaning that the frame geometry will be reset to the old value
once geometry updates are unblocked. The main drawback of this approach
is that it is too error prone, the data flow is hard to comprehend, etc.
It is worth noting that there is already a machinery to perform async
geometry which is used during interactive move/resize operations.
This change extends the move/resize geometry usage beyond interactive
move/resize to make asynchronous geometry updates less error prone and
easier to comprehend.
With the proposed solution, all geometry updates must be done on the
move/resize geometry first. After that, the new geometry is passed on to
the Client-specific implementation of moveResizeInternal().
To be more specific, the frameGeometry() returns the current frame
geometry, it is primarily useful only to the scene. If you want to move
or resize a window, you need to use moveResizeGeometry() because it
corresponds to the last requested frame geometry.
It is worth noting that the moveResizeGeometry() returns the desired
bounding geometry. The client may commit the xdg_toplevel surface with a
slightly smaller window geometry, for example to enforce a specific
aspect ratio. The client is not allowed to resize beyond the size as
indicated in moveResizeGeometry().
The data flow is very simple: moveResize() updates the move/resize
geometry and calls the client-specific implementation of the
moveResizeInternal() method. Based on whether a configure event is
needed, moveResizeInternal() will update the frameGeometry() either
immediately or after the client commits a new buffer.
Unfortunately, both the compositor and xdg-shell clients try to update
the window geometry. It means that it's possible to have conflicts
between the two. With this change, the compositor's move resize geometry
will be synced only if there are no pending configure events, meaning
that the user doesn't try to resize the window.
When debugging modifier_only_shortcut_test in _waylandonly mode I saw
that it was failing, among other things, because some aspects were not
initialised.
This changes every test we have to run the new
Test::initWaylandWorkspace() that calls waylandServer()->initWorkspace()
but also makes sure that WaylandServer::initialized is emitted before we
proceed.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
The new signal is emitted when the Application has fully been initialized.
It allows us to change the startup sequence, for example create workspace
before starting the Xwayland server, without making any adjustments in our
test suit.
Summary:
As is KWin only had 1 Cursor which was a singleton. This made it impossible for
us to properly implement the tablet (as in drawing tablets) support and show where
we're drawing.
This patch makes it possible to have different Cursors in KWin, it makes all the
current code still follow the mouse but the tablet can still render a cursor.
Test Plan: Tests pass, been using it and works as well as before but with beautiful tablet cursors.

Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
Rename ShellClient to XdgShellClient in order to reflect that it
represents only xdg-shell clients.
Test Plan: Compiles, tests still pass.

Summary:
This change removes all traces of wl-shell in the test suite. That's a
prerequisite for dropping wl-shell support in KWin.
Given that wl-shell and xdg-shell are not interchangeable, some tests
were removed and initialization sequence in some tests was adjusted.
The most notable change is ensuring that each plasmashell window sets
its role and initial position before committing the surface. Setting
those properties before the first surface commit is important because
our window placement code needs to know window type in order to
avoid maximizing panels, popups, etc.

Another random failure on build.kde.org (see T6546). This tries to use
QTRY_COMPARE on the SignalSpy's count instead of a wait in the hope that
this can handle the multi-threaded situation better. Though it might
also be possible that the other thread just didn't run in the 5 sec we
waited.
A new test class for KWinBindings added which is intended to group the
testing of the various slots set up in kwinbindings.cpp. As the scripts
also delegate to the slots this is also tested.
