--Latte panels when they touch each other are informing
each other in order to provide consistent appearance. For
example the Unity mode where a top panel and a left panel
exist at the same time. In such case if the left panel is
INBUSY background state then the top panel is informed and
because inBusy state also. This way the top border of left dock
background does not look out of place. ON THE OTHER hand if
the left dock is hidden because the use has chosen auto-hide
visibility mode or any of the dodge(s) choices then the top
panel does not have to stay in isBusy state. The patch fixes
this by applying this behavior only when the left dock is shown
e.g. the mouse has entered the dock or the dodge mode is not
activated

--window manager provides two more states isMaxHorizontally,
isMaxVertically. These states can be ignored and be
considered as isMaximized only when both of these states
are valid
FIXED-IN:0.9.6
--the last active window codepath provides a way to
drag and maximize/restore the last active window. This
should not occur when the last active window is not
in the current desktop and activity.

--the previous code was updating the delayed application
data for each instance of lastactivewindow separately.
The new code is implementing this at the central
WM::WindowsTracker and just informs last active windows
to update their values
--when an application is tracked from the lastactivewindow
infrastructure it is updating the application name/icon
1500 ms after its first startup in order to fix apps cases
where they update their StartupWMClass a bit delayed
BUG:413671
--Whenever a view is updating its layout then the AllScreens
tracked information [per layout tracking] should be updated
also. Until now this was happening only during startup and there
was a case that if during startup a view was requesting tracking
and the second one did not, then tracking for the entire layout
for all screens it could be faulty disabled.

--draggingStarted signals/slots were used in order
to handle the active window dragging from empty areas.
The new approach ungrabs the mouse properly through
View relevant function and at the same time sends a
QEvent::Leave event to inform applets that the mouse
has left the view. This is enough in order to remove
any older draggingStarted workarounds and hacks.
--when a vertical view is in busy state and is touching
also a horizontal view that is fully transparent in
SMART mode then the visual result is not that good.
In that case it is better to show the view background.
The horizontal view background in that case can provide
three different states:
a) if the panel style for popups is activated then the
horizontal view will follow the plasma original style
b) if NOT [a] and solid background for touching windows
is enabled then solid background will be offered
c) if NOT [a] and NOT [b] then the isBusy state
transparency will be offered
--when a window is stacked back to its parent window
for example the firefox case (dragging a tab to create
a new firefox window and redrag it afterwards to the
main window) the wm::windows array had inconsistent
window records.
--This is fixed and also any X11 transient changed signals
are not blocked for windowChanged signals
--if the main window is not active but is
touching the dock then the dock is not shown
for dodge active state
--fix the cleanup code in order to cleanup
windows that have a ghost wid ( 0 )
--in such case under x11, the winIds of the visible
Latte windows are changed and as such the windows
tracking mechanism becomes broken. The code introduced
tries to track the case the update the WM::ignoredWindows
properly
--is touching view functions did not identify
when a windows was touching the absolutegeometry
<thickness> boundary and at the same time
overlapping the view <length> area. A case
that was breaking the experience was the
Plasma "AddWidgets" dialog
--View::WindowsTracker now provides all the time
information about CurrentScreen and AllScreens!
This way all consumers (Latte::Containment, Applets etc.)
can choose whatever suits them best.
