[Differential] [Commented On] D4220: Add a basic SNI for keyboard layout

[Thomas Lübking]

luebking added a comment.


  "On Wayland that kded has no real access to the layouts and cannot
  properly implement switching. Given that it's better to integrate the
  SNI directly in KWin."
  
  I'll raise a fundamental question: is wayland prone to end up being
  PID 0: systemd
  PID 1: kwin
  ?
  
  Since kwin is the new display server, it may need an interface in such occasions, signalling the change, exposing the layout and allow clients to alter the layout.
  Suppose someone would want to have a virtual keyboard with a layout indicator/switcher, that should not be dragged into kwin? Latter is now an absolutely crucial process (notably as long as handing over wayland clients isn't supported) and dragging in functionality drags in complexity drags in crashes …
