I cannot imagine that code duplication is the way to go here. Surely there is a smarter way that doesn't involve duplicating code. There where other duplicated code paths before in KDE like the tooltip stuff and the rules to blur behind a window. The tooltip mess is still active, the blur behind is finally solved but that's mainly because nearly all apps added the needed lines to enable that feature.

If you duplicate this class then it's bound to be a problematic part in the future. I strongly recommend finding a different solution that does not involve duplicating this code.
