Just some follow up: I've had a more closer look how we could implement 
a custom shell integration plugin here in KDE. As I said previously, it 
looks like we can implement it, but we would have to use private APIs of 
QWayland. It's not good, but given that we use private QPA APIs in KWin 
I don't consider it to be a big blocker.
