--when the user requests a specific layout in Multiple
Layout mode the new approach is the following. If
the layout has assigned activities this is respected
but if its activities are empty that layout is assigned
only on the current activity and any other layouts assigned
explicitly to that activity are released
--create an abstract implementation for subcontainments
such as systrays and group applet in order to use
the same infrastructure for all storage operations
such as Multiple Layouts loading, copying views,
providing important information etc.
BUG:418642
--this class will be the replacement for layout::storage
and will be responsible for any containment actions for
all layouts either loaded or offloaded. Through this
refactor loading and checking CentralLayouts should become
lighter and also memory efficient
--all storage functions are now taking place into
the same Latte TMP directory that is introduced
for layouts. So no more .bak files are needed from
~/.config folder.
--the new code can understand ALL applets that are
inside an internal containment style applets such
as plasma, nomad systrays and group plasmoid
FIXED-IN:0.9.10
--Latte can now support multiple Views in the same screen
edge. Views as separated in THREE Layers of priorities.
1. Views from Shared Layouts have highest priority and they
are first to occupy a screen edge
2. Views that are set OnPrimary screen occupy a screen edge only
if there is NO other View from a Shared Layout applied already
3. Views that are Explicit to specific screens occupy a screen
edge only if there is NO PRIMARY view already loaded
--when as Always Visible view was unloaded from
a CentralLayout because its Activity was closing
it was creating a crash. This patch fixes the
situation by releasing sensitive view signals
earlier.
--occasionaly when the user was switching
layouts it could get some crashes. It looks
safer to unload first the Latte::Views objects
and their corresponding containments afterwards.
I tried in my system to switch multiple layouts
in plenty different configurations and I could
not get a crash. This patch should fix the
mentioned crash report if that was the root
of the issue.

FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--the new report identifies for all your layouts
when a screen has not been assigned any docks/panels.
That can help user to clean up the ScreensConnectors
if wants to
--when the user uses Meta+A to cycle between the Views
configuration windows then in such case when NO Config
window is shown the LAST ONE USED should be shown again.
IF a Config View is already shown then the NEXT should
be shown afterwards
--fixes to signals in ViewParts in order to avoid
crashes. Currently the recreateView approach is used
in order to reload indicators runtime dynamically.
The "View::setSource" approach does not reload the
indicators properly
