I don't like the introduction of the SCRAPBOOK. The repository is not the place for dead and old code. That's what git already supports with keeping the whole history.

We have some autotests for kwindowsystem. Could you try whether the tests work also on OSX?


src/kwindowsystem.cpp (lines 465 - 467)

    I would prefer to not introduce new platform specific code in the shared part.
    
    The idea you have here is right, but it's not OSX specific, the same applies for e.g. Wayland



src/platforms/osx/plugin.h (line 2)

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).
