--the new code contains more comments and except
blacklisting all NET::Properties2 signals that are
not accompanied with NET::Properties it also
whitelists specific states for NET::WMState.
This should lower a lot the calculations needed
in order to support the dodge visibility modes.
At the same time apps that are abusing X11 signals
should be ignored totally because the whitelisted
states and NET::Properties are only set by the
user or the window manager.

--add an option in Tweaks page in order for the user

--multi-screen fix for explicit docks. There were
cases that explicit docks during startup were
moving to onprimary screen even though they shouldnt
based on the new multi-screens implementation.
Bug was tracked down at a faulty series of signals
that were overwriting dockView config values
to default values and that was creating the fault.
-- one more fix for multi-screens, a missing return
statement in case an explicit dock is called and its
edge at that specific screen is occuppied by an
onPrimary one.

When there was only one latte dock and the last
active window was closed, the dock wasnt showing
afterwards. The dodge logic now has been improved
in order to not lose any window manager signals
that could help indicate when to show/hide a
dodge capable dock

--if a dock/panel was containing a systray there
was a chance that the systray was messing the
calculations for adding/removing docks based on
the screen and edges changes
--Latte will no longer try to be too smart concerning
the multi-screens behavior. At the old implementation
Latte wouldnt let you reach at a state that you dont
have a tasks plasmoid available. Such a case could be
when the user moves a dock from primary to explicit
screen and disables the screen afterwards. That case
should be thought better in the future in order to be
identified and handled properly without making the
code unnecessary complex. Such an example could be by
identifing the case and asking the user for actions.
--there are cases that the window geometry isnt consistent
for maximized windows. That was breaking the previous
implementation of dynamic background because of:

BUG: 397128
--the old code wasnt screen independent for identifying
windows that touch the panel edge. There were cases
that when a window was touching a panel edge at
screen A to faulty identify that is touching
screen B also. The code now is more robust and it
can also handle cases that window is touching two or
more different panels in different screens.

--Improve the series of events in order for CopyDock

--after v0.8 release many issues with multi-architecture
were identified. An alternative approach was needed
in order for Latte to get a more user-predictable state.
In new approach:
--onPrimary docks have always higher value
and should be shown, this is also like how plasma is
moving its panels.
--explicit docks are removed if their edge in their screen
is occupied by an onPrimary dock
--be stupid smart in order to check if docks contain
tasks and try to not remove them based on screen-changes

in maintainability...

BUG: 396806
--when trying to activate an entry through
global shortcuts we should take into
account the docks that we have already
access but that should not block the action
code.
--in multiple layouts environment the user
may prefer different settings for its global
shortcuts, in some may wants to use global
shortcuts for its applets and in another
layout may not.
--when an application launcher exists, Latte can show
a "Meta" badge for that applet instead of the global
shortcut action number. With this patch we take also
into account when the assigned application launcher is
in different dock/panel and show it accordingly

--v0.8 introduced unified global shortcuts for all
cases, that means that applets are also taken into
account for Latte activation/new instance global
shortcuts. A new parameter is introduced with
the patch at Latte global settings file called
"unifiedGlobalShortcuts", the user can set that
parameter to false before Latte startup in order
to use only global shortcuts relevant to the
Latte plasmoid.
--when changing Single mode to Multiple mode the latest
changes from user didnt get into because the kde cache
from KFileConfigPtr hadnt been updated yet. This
patch fixes this by using a temp file that contains
the layout in question.
--there were cases that during creating
or copying docks the applets ids were
created inconsistent by creating applets
with ids already reserved. This patch
fixes this by using the applet ids found
in the layout file and not the one loaded
in memory.
--a visual indicator in order to show which plasma
applets have been overloaded from Latte. The overloaded
mechanism is a way in order to make these applets work
properly with Latte parabolic effect
--blur effect is costly this way we limit effects area
to respect the windows boundaries and at cases that
the QRegion returns too main QRects to just use the main
effects rectangle
--this fix possibly fixes the crash related to Blur effect and
moving the dock to another edge bug:396040
--v0.8 is officialy KDE project, so its
existence owes a lot of credits to many
KDE members (for translations, bug reporting
etc.). Being officially a KDE project
responds to the previous credits.
--when the dock was hidden and the user was triggering
the Meta shortcut the app launcher was misplaced.
By using the same technique used when triggering applets
shortcuts this is fixed.
--when recreating the dock/panel because of
visibility mode changes sometimes there was
a crash because of the timers for the workaround
of isVisible() changes
--give the user an option in layout file in order
to enable/disable borders for maximized windows.
the option is called "disableBordersForMaximizedWindows"
and must be put in LayoutSettings section
--use DoubleClick to change ShowInMenu
--dont change Activities when Activities combobox
loses focus, only when the user has really clicked
an element
--select user-set backgrounds properly when showing
the combobox backgrounds popup
--in some systems that layouts are readonly when
copied to user "latte" directory were still
read-only. We are fixing these permissions with
this patch.
--the old architecture that was trying to keep
an internal separators record couldnt catch up
and at the same time could create issues with
internal separators at different activities.
-- under X11 it was identified that windows
many times especially under screen changes
dont end up at the correct position and size.
This vailidator(timer) will enforce repositionings
and resizes every 500ms if the window hasnt end up
to correct values and until this is achieved.
--because focus is lost from dock tooltips the
dock settings window was closing. We take into
account that case in order to not close the
dock settings window in such case
