notes for Monday meeting of 22/10/2018

[Marco Martin]

Eike:
* [Wayland] Fixed another review-originated thingie in one of the
containment action phabs, two Wayland VD Phabs of mine still waiting
on re-review now
* [FV] Fixed Trash/Delete not being swapped in the context menu when
Shift was pressed while the menu was already open

Kai Uwe:
Work done:
- Fixed bug in Global Menu preventing use of single button mode in
horizontal panel
- Various bugfixes and mentoring of a person doing various KFind fixes
and improvements
- Fix (mostly..) for Dolphin's icons being misaligned when using
fractional scaling
- Cleaned up cruft in plasma-framework, e.g. the PLASMA_NO_KIO and
other unused (and broken) build options
- plasma-browser-integration now requires only Qt 5.9
-- should make it esier for distros to backport it to Plasma 5.12 LTS,
given it doesn't really depend on anything Plasma
- Investigated various Qt 5.12 issues
-- Import versioning is a lot stricter now: Minimize All plasmoid
suddenly failed because it imported QtQuick 2.1 but used something
from 2.7
-- Found awful QML GC bug breaking ToolButton (the about menu in
System Settings sidebar mode): QTBUG-71238
https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTBUG/issues/QTBUG-71238 (when you
return a parent-less Qobject form a Q_INVOKABLE it is adopted by GC.
However, due to some bug it is deleted despite being assigned to (and
as such referenced) a  property)
-- Found awful Repeater/model-related regression breaking AppDash: QTBUG-70031
https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTBUG/issues/QTBUG-70031

David:
* kwin now has XDGPopupPositioner support (with the full anchor rects
and constraint handling etc) \o/
* all of which is moot whilst Qt doesn't expose it..but I have a plan
on adding that to Qt 5.13
*‎ then hopefully expose in a way that X will share the same
positioning public API but we do it in-process
* my ksmserver splitting got some more patches splitting out shutdown.
I hope to split everything in-process, merge that, test for a few
weeks, then split into the multiple processes after that.

Vlad:
