    why did you ifdef the section? It's just a runtime switch not depending on any platform specific libraries like the X11 case.

    what's "Ext"?

    why are there both public and private variables? For a d-ptr class I don't really understand this

    QByteArrayLiteral

    I'm pretty sure the NETWM spec is irrelevant on cocoa

    wtf is that?

    do we really need this? That's way too much ifedery for me. Either we have that feature or not. Have finished things I don't want to see in our code.

    is there a possibility that Qt does not use Cocoa?

    I'm certainly not the author of this header file


src/platforms/osx/plugin.cpp (line 2)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126291/#comment68038>

    Also not the author of this file.

A new method could then be added (to `KWindowInfo`?) to distinguish `WId`s created by the running application from "foreign" ones (useful also on Wayland and MS Windows).
