D23415: Improve comprehensibility and consistency of window placement mode names

[Nathaniel Graham]

ngraham added a comment.


  "Smart" is meaningless and must be replaced.
  
  "Zero-cornered" is technobabble comprehensible only to KWin developers and must be replaced.
  
  Others are judgment calls, but you're right that the moods are inconsistent (e.g. "centered" is descriptive and "cascade" imperative) and we can fix this too. Here's how they would all be in the descriptive mood:
  
  - Minimal Overlapping
  - Maximized
  - Cascaded
  - Centered
  - Random
  - In Top-Left Corner
  - Under Mouse
  
  Using the imperative is much worse for the last two so I think the above is better. @zzag shall we try this?
  
  (FWIW my wife helped me come up with these, as she's a fairly average user)
