RFC: Use Grid as default for KWin's Presnt windows effect

Hey there,

so I've been thinking about the Present Windows effect of KWin. The default
setting for laying the windows out is currently "Natural", but to me that
layout looks rather random as the windows are scattered all around with
different sizes and for me personally it's always hard jumping with eyes
all over the screen.

Switching to Regular grid makes the layout more uniform, better aligned,
predictable and somewhat consistent. Given that Plasma5 is now all about
pixel-perfection and streamlineing, this change imo fits into that.

So I'd like to propose changing the default of Present Windows effect to
the grid setting.

What do you think?

Cheers
