[Marco Martin]

Eike:
what i did:
* [Wayland] Virtual desktops KCM: Implemented delayed-apply, handle
all cases of state-desync between KCM and server nicely for the user,
UI cleanup
* [Wayland] Fixed a crash in one of the containment action ports
* [Kickoff] Rewrote mouse handling to fix highlight sticking to mouse
pointer during search; also saves many MouseAreas
* [FV] Fixed initial focus for arrow key nav when opening panel applet by hotkey
* what i will do next: no idea! but it will probably be super cool and
maybe involve virtual desktops

Kai Uwe:
Work done:
Plasma:
- Released 0.3.1 of plasma-browser-integration
-- Improved heuristic for ignoring short sounds (to avoid controlling
chat notifications)
-- Chrome has 25,000 users now, Firefox 9,500
- Plasma-pa now shows "muted" icon when using Dummy Output
- Had to revert removal of XRandrBrightness u_u because Nvidia
apparently relies on it -.-
- Company stuff
Misc:
- Various Dolphin fixes for tab/window titles
- Various crash fixes in thumbnailers now that they have KCrash
support and we actually see them
(PDF/Ghostscript and FFmpegthumbs being the worst offenders afaics)
Work todo:
- Company stuff
- Support for Seek() in plasma-browser-integration: D15863
-- Fixes seeking tracks via KDE Connect
   Diff 15863 "[MPris Plugin] Support Seek()" [Needs Review]

David:
Qt 5.12 has 2 interesting wayland problems with dialog
1) QWindow::position   returns 0,0 after QWindow::setPosition
because it knows it hasn't moved it
   which is on one hand very sensible, but our plasma shell code relies on it
   I have a Qt patch that puts it back, but I'm 50/50 on whether it'll get in
   I also have a plasma popup
2) the other breakage we have is that with plasma popups
show/hide/show doesn't work
   I have a plasma workaround
   but I don't have a proper fix https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70845
   I know the chain of events that goes wrong, I don't fully
understand how it's meant to work
* I'll give porting to xdg popup a go once I've settled this.
* outside of wayland, I'm stripping down ksmserver still

Marco:
Kirigami:
* fixed last annoyances with monochrome icons heuristics
* possibility for CardsGridView to have an arbitrary number of
columns, introduced concept of minimumcolumnwidth
* same feature and api in CardsLayout as well
Next week:
* this week i hope to get some time into the virtual desktop wayland stuff
* and, to finally finish the multilevel kcm stuff, another thing
abandoned since ages
*‎ 2 reviews are ship it, 2 still to go
