  I don't know if it's available on all platforms we support, and copying it was the path of least resistance.

  I considered doing that, but Resource is designed in such a way that it requires the use of a d-pointer, and LinuxDmabufParams is a private class.

I considered that, but it seems ugly to have the compositor call back into KWayland from the slot. It would also be necessary to pass a pointer to the LinuxDmabufParams object in a signal parameter, just so the compositor can pass it back to KWayland.

A slightly less ugly option would to make the LinuxDmabufParams class public, and emit the signal from the params object. But that would require the compositor to track the creation of those objects so it can connect the signal to a slot.
