Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-workspace


Description
-------

The goal of this project is to make xembed system trays available in Plasma.

This is to allow legacy apps (xchat, pidgin, tuxguitar) etc. system trays[1] \
available in Plasma which only supports StatusNotifierItem [2].

Ideally we also want this to work in an xwayland session, making X system tray icons \
available even when plasmashell only has a wayland connection.

How it works (in theory)

* We register a window as a system tray container
* We render embeded windows composited offscreen
* We render contents into an image and send this over DBus via the SNI protocol
* XDamage events trigger a repaint
* Activate and context menu events are replyed via X send event into the embedded \
container as left and right clicks


Code is a mix of hacks and bodges bashing client apps into place, and I happily \
acknowledge it looks pretty bad. Unfotunately most of it seems to be needed, but I'd \
love to be proved wrong on most of it.

---

CMakeLists changes are obviously currently wrong, I can strip half of find_packages \
and I need an add_subdirectory in the root file, but it's easier for me to sync with \
the separate repo mirror this way till we're close to merging. I expect this to take \
quite some revisions.
