Review request for kde-workspace, kwin and Plasma.


Changes
-------

Added note about possibility of affected components not in kde-workspace.


Description (updated)
-------

QDeclarativeImportDatabase::addImportPath() prepends paths to the list, so paths must be added in reverse order (lowest preference -> highest preference).

To further complicate things, only paths not already in the list are added - hopefully this behaviour can be corrected in qt at some point. Nevertheless, these fixes should give the desired results with or without the further qt fix.


NB: kwin/kcmkwin/kwintabbox/layoutpreview.cpp is also affected by this issue but is not yet included in this RR, as it needs extra fixes and proper testing.

NB #2: there may be other files affected outside kde-workspace, but I haven't checked.


Branch for this RR can be found at clones/kde-workspace/oliverhenshaw/kde-workspace at review/qml-imports-v1 which comprises:

[1/3] Drop unneeded duplicate addImportPath

Let KDeclarative::setupBindings() add the import paths: it too takes
paths from KGlobal::dirs()->findDirs("module", "imports"); it adds paths
in the correct (reverse) order.

[2/3] Replace foreach with java-style iterator

In preparation for reversing the loop.

[3/3] add qml import paths in correct order

addImportPath prepends the path to importPathList so we must add our
paths in reverse order.

Based on the fix for kdeclarative.cpp in kdelibs

Testing
-------

Compiles and runs. Checked that the resulting importPathList is correct for ksmserver/screenlocker/greeter/greeterapp.cpp and for kwin/clients/aurorae/src/aurorae.cpp


Thanks,
