Monday meeting notes for 20/6/2022

[Marco Martin]

Fusan
* Merged multiscreen fix for picture of the day plugin, backported to
5.25.1 as there are some duplicate bug reports.
* A minor visual glitch fix for Discover which I have seen in many
5.25 review videos:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/322
* The animated wallpaper has a severe leak issue on both Intel and AMD
platforms. I suggest we merge
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1845
or disable animated wallpapers on X11 by default.
https://fars.ee/1j8E.png But as it is likely a bug in mesa so I am not
sure where should I report the bug.
[ discussion on how to avoid workarounds of 1845 and 1854]
[ discussion about dynamic wallpaper ]

* kwin: worked on the screencast+modifiers, it's working now, pending
to test it on an nvidia system. some corners to polish but it should
be there, finally. Testing would be very much appreciated, especially
if you are running nvidia:

    https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kpipewire/-/merge_requests/2
* kwin: refactored how backends produce dmabuf textures for optimal handling.
* kscreen: merged all the bits for seamless xwayland scaling experience
* discover: Fixed an issue reported where it wouldn't respect each
remotes' priority, now it does.
* kwin: This week I'll be looking into new strategies for managing
windows on humongous displays

* Boring stuff. Mostly, bugfixing.. It appears like most of new bug
reports are about effects (desktop grid, window view, etc)
[discussion: some bug reports on the rewritten effects are actual
regressions, some are on config options purposedfully removed, so will
need to gather data on how much those were used]

# KWin

fancyzones will finally open a draft MR about it this week, mostly to
gather feedback to see i'm headed in a completely wrong direction

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2532
