  so...
  Remove all layout position and siblings, and just pay attention 
  plasmaVirtualDesktops() on server, and
  desktops() on the client always have the same order.
  Would there be some protocol to reorder desktops or would be just a detail internal in kwin?
  
  wether they are on a line, on a cube, on a 3 rows grid, then would just be a config value setting shared between kwin and the pager, not passing trough wayland in any way.
  
  whith this, would still be possible to allow maybe in the future desktops per-output whicj Martin was talking about?
