Wayland protocols

[Ivan Čukić]

Ok, SLC BOF scheduled for 10th Sept, 10:30-12:30. Part for wayland and
internals talk, part for UI and other things.

IDs are not really internals - we need to be able to identify windows
outside of kwin (task manager, slc, ... any client of a public api in
kwindowsystem which relies on ids) - it is of no importance whether /these/
IDs are the same as kwin's internal IDs, but I guess that it would be an
unnecessary complication.

Ch!
