--as it appears plasma applets were not the main faulter
to blame for startup freezes. The bug was that Latte
was trying to communicate with Plasma DBus interface
to inform it about docks/panels geometries. For some
reason during startup other applets could also were
trying the same and for that reason Qt provides a 25sec
forced delay in case there are too many such calls.
The new approach does not block the startup code at all
and it should work at all cases.

FIXED-IN:0.10.4
--when Plasma is started much later than Latte
the Plasma::Extended::ScreenGeometries should enable
its broadcasting interface when Plasma is first
registered in DBus
BUG:424356
--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types

--Plasma 5.18 introduced a new dbus interface in order
for external apps to be able to publish to Plasma how
much they occupy from screen space. This is a much
requested feature from users, Latte is now publishing
both its availableScreenRect and availableScreenRegions
and this is also Multiple Layouts aware at runtime.
