Summary

Trying to build kmousetool against Qt 5.14 otherwise results in an
error:

"... kmousetool/main.cpp
In file included from /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include/X11/Xlib.h:44,

from /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include/X11/Intrinsic.h:53,

   |         ^~~~

..."

The "QActionGroup::None" enum, which is new in Qt 5.14 [1], collides
with some X header.
Also move an Phonon include, which apparently was involved in a
similar problem, back to where it was before.

IMHO:

  • moving includes like this is more an hack than a real solution, as future changes in other Qt includes may cause this issue again -- see also the comment right before the phonon include...
  • the real solution is to #include <fixx11h.h> right after the X11 includes -- see the KWindowSystem framework

Oh, I was looking for something else but I didn't found anything. Thanks!
Included fixx11.h

Not sure if that makes it worth to depend on KWindowSystem, or if it's maybe better to copy the header over.

Strictly speaking, we just need the includes from KWindowSystem, as the library is not actually used (and when linking with as-needed KWindowSystem will not be required).

Yeah, I know. Still, it's an additional build time dependency.
