<p>IOW, whenever the property on the root window is set by anything but kwin, anything™ has a bug. Period.</p>
<p>This member variable will systematically get out of in a race between kwin and the X11 server (ie. you can be sure there're some ns - ms where m_activeWindow will differ from ::activeWindow()) but any other case is clearly misbehavior in a 3rd process (or the X11 server failing to handle the property update request)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R108 KWin</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D7096" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D7096</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>graesslin, KWin, Plasma, davidedmundson<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>luebking, davidedmundson, plasma-devel, kwin, ZrenBot, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, hardening, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart, lukas<br /></div>
