Review request for Plasma, Bhushan Shah and Marco Martin.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

This patch provides the following:

1. A C++ backend object for activity switcher

- provides cached wallpaper thumbnails for faster switcher loading
- registers the keyboard shortcuts for activity switching


2. Patch to the UI

To show the switcher when the user switches activities via the keyboard shortcut (it shows the version without advanced controls like search and activity creation / manipulation)

Testing
-------

There are two issues currently:
- one for showing the wallpapers on meta-tab switcher mode
- the activity switching has an artificial delay because plasma dead-locks if the side panel is loaded while the activity is being switched.


Thanks,

Ivan Čukić
