Improve internal window code
Open, NormalPublic

Description

T8771 hints at the internal window code being problematic in general. This is an entry/overview task to patches improving the code.

Components:

  • Our KWayland interfaces interact with internal clients.
  • KWin QPA code.
  • ShellClient class

Quick plan:

  • A first step could be to subclass internal windows off of ShellClient to have cleaner separation and a more readable code.

I don't have a strong opinion on this one, however I thought that it's better to keep tasks open when they are moved to "Done" because that way one could have a look at what features were implemented previously, etc.
