Plasma/Next/Wayland

List of modules/libs that will need any work to run on Wayland:

kcontrol

Some KCM Modules need porting or at least adding runtime checks to avoid running some code

krdb

Already has HAVE_X11 so compilation is already optional. It seems that the code is no longer needed with Qt5 since we have our own QPT.

access

Uses krdb

colors

Uses krdb

fonts

Uses krdb, already has HAVE_X11 for dpi configurationj

input

Rewrite all this with abstraction so we can support both, X11 and Wayland

cursortheme

Needs abstraction, and implement wl_cursor_* backend for Wayland.

mouse

These settings belong now to the compositor (KWin), so we need to sort things out over there.

keyboard

Needs port tohttp://xkbcommon.org/

kfontsinst

Drop Xft support and move to fontconfig only

style

Uses krdb

khotkeys

Needs to be implemented somehow inside KWin, since the compositor is the only one that has access to the mouse.

kinfocenter

Some calls to X api has to be made platform specific, it has a lot of #ifdef Q_WS_X11 already. Maybe also add a module for Wayland information.

klipper

Clipboard is handled by the compositor (KWin), we might need to wait to port klipper to it

krunner

Probably won't need any porting once krunner in plasma2 is released. We might need a way of making sure it is placed centered on the screen since Apps can't decide position on Wayland.

ksmserver

If screenlocker is split, we will only need to implement a new session management api based on dbus.

ksysguard

Make the X11 platform dependent, they do not make sense in Wayland (x11 memory usage)

lib/taskmanager

Needs platform abstraction and then talk to KWin

powerdevil/dpms

Needs port to drm and probably go to KWin
