[KWin Question] - KWin authorize external docks to manipulate tasks and windows

[Michail Vourlakos]

Hello everyone,

as it appears, in the following versions of Now Dock the dock will try 
to live outside plasmashell as a standalone separate executable. It will 
still use all plasma technologies from frameworks etc. but there is an 
issue with that design decision change as the plasma developers informed me.

In wayland world only the plasmashell executable gains access through 
kwayland to manipulate tasks, get information about the windows and even 
move its own window.

I would like to ask you what are the policies and guidelines in order 
for another executable to gain such access. This is the case of course 
for all docks living outside plasmashell.


thanks a lot for your time.


regards,

michail
