This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for kwin and Plasma.


Repository: kdeclarative


Description
-------

This is a thin proxy around KWindowSystem exposing most of its methods to qml via KWindowSystem item in an org.kde.kwindowsystem import.

It uses QWindow instead of WId parameters so you can just pass a qml Item, such as a Plasma Dialog as parameter for ease of use (and so you cannot mess with others windows without effort, also I don't know what "WId" would translate to anyway). It omits all those methods that return WId/QWindow as I don't know how expensive QWindow::fromWinId is or who takes ownership of it. We need to decide which methods make sense in this import.

Methods that have signals and don't take parameters are turned into full-fledged properties (like currentDesktop, numberOfDesktops, etc) and the rest stays Q_INVOKABLE.

Testing
-------

The properties work and change accordingly (compositing active signal doesn't seem to be emitted by KWindowSystem in the first place, at least Ctrl+Shift+F12 doesn't make it change), the forceActivateWindow method works for Review 121807


Thanks,
