--use plasma approach in order to show context menus
for applets by introducing a new QuickItem that will
be responsible for this at the bottom of applets and
containment layers
--use ScreenPool as reference for primary screen.
The new code uses PrimaryOutputWatcher class from
Plasma Shell in order to keep track of primary
screen at all cases.

--This is a HUGE FEATURE and so important for multi-screens
users. It is introduced as one single commit because it
reimplements plenty of infrastructure changes and it will
be easier to identify newly introduced bugs.
--Users can now choose for their docks and panels to belong
at various screen groups. The first two screen groups introduced
are AllScreens and AllSecondayScreens. In the future it might
be possible to provide CustomScreensGroup that the user will
be able to define specific screens in which a dock or panel
should be always present.
--Current solution specifies an Original dock or panel and clones/copies
itself automatically to other screens. So docks and panels in other screens
are just real docks and panels that reference themselves to original
docks and panels.
--Clones are destroyed during layout startup and are automaticaly
recreated. It is suggested to export your layouts through the
official Layouts Editor in order to share them because in that case
clones are not included in the new generated layout file. If in any
case you do not this and you share your layout with any previous
versions then your clones will just appear as separate docks and
panels that belong to specific screens.
--Automatic syncing was introduced in order to keep up-to-date
the configuration of Original docks and panels with their referenced
Clones.
--Automatic syncing currently works for all docks and panels settings,
for all normal applets configurations and for all subcontaiments
configuration such as systrays.
--Automatic syncing does not work for applets inside subcontainments
such as Group Plasmoid. In such case it is suggested to configure
your applets inside your Group Plasmoid in the original dock or panel
and afterwards to trigger a recreation for the relevant clones
--Manual recreation of clones is easily possible by just choosing
the dock or panel to be OnPrimary or OnSpecificScreen and rechoosing
afterwards the AllScreensGroup or AllSecondaryScreensGroup
--identify correctly for vertical panels in right edge
when they need to draw or not their top and bottom borders.
This is enough in order to position properly these docks.
BUG:448519
FIXED-IN:0.10.8
--this way when a dock or panel is scheduled for
removal but the user undo that removal all
events for main dock/panel window are forwarded
correctly. As a side fix parabolic effect works
just fine now is such scenario.
--try to avoid corner cases that wm ignores OnAllDesktops
flag for specific views during startup. This patch should
protect these corner cases.
BUG:447689
FIXED-IN:0.10.7
Consider -1 as screen edge margin default value
and not zero. This way when duplicating a default
dock AllBorders are not enabled in the new dock.
BUG:446903
FIXED-IN:0.10.5
--This new approach paints all docks and panels during
starup offscreen. This way especially under x11 not a lot of
visual glitches are appearing all over the place.
After startup time has ended docks and panels are
moved at their original and valid placement and slide in
animations are triggered.
--send more availableRect/Region changed signals
for more cases and as such all views update
their positioning properly.
--for example when a horizontal view updates its
offset or max length independent of its visibility mode
the neighbour vertical views need to update
and validate their position.
--as it appears many users are using Plasma GlobalScaling
in conjuction with PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING. This commit
provides plenty of fixes for that scenario in order to
make things workable.
--adjust X11::InputMask based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust X11::GtkFrameExtents based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust View::absoluteGeometry() based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust WM::Tracker based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust WM::AbstractInterface based on devicePixelRatio()
BUG:444222
FIXED-IN:0.10.3
--fix how CanBeAboveFullscreen windows option can be
enabled/disabled properly and work correctly
--fix how Blur is handled for docks and panels that
can be AboveFullScreenWindows under X11. Blur is now
working correctly for them but of course GtkFrameExtents
do not work at all because they are intended to work
based on KWin implementation.
BUG:443536
--Menu11 and SimpleMenu applets are using a custom
plasmoid approach in order to be able to position their
popups differently on the screen. This patch considers
this in a more generic way and does not use the default
codepath to show popups from these applets. More
importantly the Needs/RequiresAttention status is used
in order to determine the panel/dock visibility for
these applets.
BUG:441053
--the new approach is not using timers but actual
events from View in order to identify when the
view is fully shown and when their popup is actual
visible. This way popup showing and view slide-in
is always synchronized properly
BUG:425078
--last week commit about beautiful slide in/out through
kwin infrastructure broke the wayland placement for
docks and panels. This commit fixes the issue
and at the same time provide beautifule slide in/outs
for docks panels during their creation and removal.
