Review request for Plasma, Bhushan Shah and Marco Martin.


Changes
-------

- not installing .h .cpp files
- reusing action names from old plasma-workspace actions (the actions should be removed - I'll do it at the same time this is merged)


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)
- Merged ActivityBrowser.qml and ActivityManager.qml into one

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122662/diff/


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
