(Updated Dec. 27, 2016, 5 p.m.)


Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

bump

refactored against v4.100.0-rc1-189-g824d4f2 for 5.30.0


Repository: kwindowsystem


Description
-------

KWindowSystem has been lacking a platform plugin for OS X. This RR presents a \
"backport" of the modified KDE4 KWindowSystem implementation that has been used in \
the MacPorts kdelibs4 port for the last 2 or 3 (or more) years.

I have made some initial steps to remove deprecated Carbon API calls, but this is \
clearly a work in progress.

Open questions include
- is there any justification to run an event handler (or Cocoa observer) to keep \
                track of running applications, possibly even listing all their open \
                windows?
- is there any use for the Qt event listener framework (cf. the NETEventFilter in the \
X11 plugin)? I haven't yet had time to try to figure out what this "could be good \
                for", and am very open to suggestions in this departments.
- one application for such an event filter would be a listener that catches the \
opening and closing of all windows by the running process, and keeps track of their \
`WId`s. A new method could then be added (to `KWindowInfo`?) to distinguish `WId`s \
created by the running application from "foreign" ones (useful also on Wayland and MS \
Windows).

`KWindowSystem::setMainWindow` should become a front for payload provided by the \
plugins. I'll leave that to the regular/official maintainer(s) of this framework.

This code could probably do with *lots* of comments; I'll try to add them as \
questions about this or that bit of code arise.
