Minutes Monday Plasma Meeting

[Sebastian Kügler]

Minutes Plasma 'hangout', 4-7-2016, 12:00 CET

Present: mgraesslin, bshah, Sho, kbroulik, notmart, Riddell, sebas

mgraesslin:
* work on support for windowShow/windowHide in kwineffects - makes sliding 
popus work
* sliding popup still doesn't work for closing OpenGL windows - the buffer is 
lost, needs further investigation
* Improvements for clipboard handling * Support for xdg-shell reworked and put 
to review again
* Some fixes for fbdev/drm on qemu VMs - need to invest some time to set this 
up and make it actually work

* more work in the look and feel creator tool in plasma-sdk, correctly created 
js files and dumps the defaults file, rough ui to create the thumbnail
 * some triaging
 * emergency 5.7 fix: make systray configuration work with desktop scripting 
again
 * desktop files based kglobalaccel actions: they work in the daemon: https://
phabricator.kde.org/D2103
 * start of config ui for kglobalaccel desktop files: https://
phabricator.kde.org/D2111
 * it needs to be found a way to add some testing in the daemon, no idea how

bshah:
- Qt 5.7 rollout for mobile
- Now mobile images use Qt5.7
- Minor issues,
- flickering at start in plasmashell
- ubuntu/click apps crashes time to time
- Looking into packaging qtvirtualkeyboard

Sho:
- Fixed a really nasty bug causing multiple TasksModel instances to interfere 
with each other through a complicated sidechannel that could result in 
disappearing launchers if other conditions were met (this was the "Eclipse 
launchers" problem from last week) - took a few days to debug ...
-- The reporter had a second 'ghost' Task Manager instance from dangling rc 
file entries, which is additionally worrisome re plasmashell config handling
- Fixed a bug causing the order of window thumbnails in group tooltips to not 
match the model order, leading to incorrect activations on click
- Fixed window activation and closing from tooltips for single windows
- There's another tooltip-centered regression bug report that's actually 
pointing at a bug in the manual sort code, working on that right now
- kwayland API has parent-child relationships for windows now; will work on 
X11-parity transient handling (bubbling up demands-attention to parents, etc.) 
in libtaskmanager on Wayland this week
- WindowMetaData window identifier problem: Martin says WMD can generate DBus 
object paths however it sees fit, then needs to tell kwin about it via a (to 
be incepted) protocol; libtm can then retrieve it via the PlasmaWindow 
interface to speak WMD
- Fluffy Bunny spotted in Korea: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHpOb0xDlaZ/

kbroulik:
* Fiddled with system tray icon size as they were tiny after updating to 
Plasma 5.7, now they're back to what they looked like in 5.6 on my machine but 
apparently now it's too large for other users /o\

Riddell:
* Plasma 5.7 came out (released mostly by David)
* Plasma 5.7 Kickoff meeting
* Space in Appartment left for Akademy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/

sebas:
* bit of hacking on windowmetadata: thumbnails and qtquickitems
* preview QQuickItems are now only rendered when necessary, thanks 
QQuickRenderControl
* working on docs
* Pretty happy with basics now, will send a detailed description to the plasma 
list
* kscreen bug triage, seems very little fallout from changes in this cycle
* to catch up with open kwin/wayland reviews
* plasmashell isn't happy with multiscreen: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?
