The AbstractBackend provides a virtual method to create the Screens.
A concrete backend can implement this method to create the backend
specific Screens instance.
This removes the casting logic from Screens::create.
This new backend allows to start a kwin_wayland server nested on an
X-Server by using a normal X11 window as output. This allows testing
kwin_wayland without needing to start another Wayland server first.
The behavior is triggered by using new command line arguments:
--windowed
--x11-display=<:0>
With optional --width and --height arguments.
In this mode the WaylandBackend is not created at all.
So far the backend is not fully integrated yet and only the QPainter
backend supports this mode.
The --xwayland option starts a rootles Xwayland server. If a
rootless Xwayland server is used OperationModeXwayland is used
which is introduced with this change as well.
A new implementation of the Screens interface is added which uses XRandR
directly instead of relying on QDesktopWidget. The implementation is
provided in a new implementation file screens_xrandr.cpp.
XRandRScreens comes with a unit test. Unfortunately it's rather difficult
to provide a proper unit test against XRandR. Xvfb (which is obviously
used on the CI system) doesn't provide the XRandR extension. Also on a
"normal" developer system one would not want to just execute the test as
the results are not predictable (number of available outputs?) and the
test would mess up the setup resulting in nobody wanting to execute the
test.
As a solution to both problems the unit test starts Xephyr as a nested
X server. This allows to have at least some limited tests against XRandR.
Nevertheless there are a few things which I was not able to test:
* multiple outputs
* no output at all
The nested X Server approach makes the interaction rather complex. Qt
opens it's connection against the main X Server thus QX11Info provides
a wrong connection and also KWin::connection() which is heavily used by
xcbutils and thus all the RandR wrappers have the wrong connection. To
circumvent this problem the test is GUILESS. In case it would call into
any code using QX11Info, it would probably either runtime fail or crash.

This is a very interesting auto test as Screens uses both Workspace
and Client. Thus it operates in the "impossible to mock" area.
The solution is to provide mock includes in autotests and ensure that
when building the auto-test the mock header includes will be picked
first. There is now a mock class for Workspace and Client providing
just the API pieces used inside Screens.
As Screens is abstract and we cannot properly interact with
QDesktopWidget there is also a MockScreens class inheriting from Screens
and mocking the required functionality (by just operating on a list of
QRects).
The auto-test itself is only performing checks on the abstract class.
The mock class is indirectly tested by Screens calling into the virtual
methods. The test case is not yet complete, but looking quite good
already.
At the same time adding an autotest for the Output, moving the listener
into the Output class and providing enums for Subpixel and Transform.
KWin now requires wl_ouput interface version 2 as that allows us to emit
the changed signal in a better way.
The unit test is not yet capable of testing everything, we need a mock
Wayland server which is more flexible.
So far the Wrapper class was not able to properly wrap all xcb calls and
there was the restriction that the request function needs to have an
xcb_window_t argument. The result was that wrapper functions were used
for calls with no arguments or for multiple arguments, but in a rather
limited way.
By using variadic template arguments this restriction is removed and the
Wrapper is able to wrap any xcb request/reply group. The main difference
is how the function pointers are defined. Those cannot be specified as
template arguments as the variadic arguments need to be the last in the
list.
The pointers are now defined by a WrapperData struct. For complete usage
please see the extensive documentation added to WrapperData on how it is
supposed to be used.

Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Uses the information provided by the Wayland outputs to setup the data
about the available screens.
In order to properly work together with the X Server the implementation
syncs the data to the X system using XRandR. If XRandR is not available
this is most likely going to not work correctly.
Screens provides a size which is constructed from the size of
the bounding geometry of all screens and provides an overload taking
an int to return the size of a specified screen. For geometry() a new
ovload is added without an argument, which is just a convenient wrapper
for QRect(QPoint(0, 0), size()).
Both new methods are exported to effects and scripting as new
properties there called virtualScreenSize and virtualScreenGeometry.
The (virtual) size gets cached in screens and is updated whenever the
count or geometry changes.
Construction of Screens is slightly changed by moving the init code
from ctor into a virtual method init(). Reason is that we ended in
a loop with accessing the singleton pointer before it was set.

largely reverts b164e9912c9b5f9c9ae619bbd79355d317174115
which prevented the crash but due to early screen updating
causes issues with scene/overlay update on at least intel chips

Following the approaches of other split out functionality Screens is a
singleton class created by Workspace.
The class takes over the responsibility for:
* screenChanged signal delayed by timer
* number of screens
* geometry of given screen
* active screen
* config option for active screen follows mouse
The class contains a small abstraction layer and has a concrete subclass
wrapping around QDesktopWidget, but the idea is to go more low level and
interact with XRandR directly to get more detailed information.
All over KWin the usage from QDesktopWidget is ported over to the new
Screens class.
