Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit 544e98da26ffc6a71f9a0a8f1c38ce505cb930d1 by David Edmundson to branch Plasma/5.4.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

Work around a Qt bug.

If there is no setGeometry call on QWindow the XCB backend will not pass
our requested position to kwin
as our window position tends to be 0, setX,setY no-ops and means we
never set a position as far as QWindow is concerned
by setting it to something silly and setting it back before we show the
window we avoid that bug.

Qt patch also filed (https://codereview.qt-project.org/123989)
so hopefully this can be removed in future if that gets merged.

BUG: 332702

Testing
-------

Had a billion lines of qDebug in kwin that shows it now gets a geometry in KWin::manage.

Also window is always in the right place \o/


Thanks,

David Edmundson
