Apply new window flags only when necessary

Applying settings in Configure Konsole dialog was causing every Konsole window to be hidden and shown again. This was leading to information related to window management (window state, desktop, position/display, etc.) to be lost - windows were appearing on current display, current desktop, at new positions.

The hide/show action is triggered by setting window flags. Only "remove window titlebar and frame" option really changes the flags, so it is pointless to set them again in other cases. Now, flags are not set when they are the same as current ones.

Additionally, when "remove window titlebar and frame" option is changed and new flags are different, windows' positions and displays are restored. Other properties are still being lost.

Test cases

  • Open a few Konsole windows, put them on different desktops and at different positions.
  • Open Configure Konsole dialog, change any option different than "remove window titlebar and frame".
  • Apply

Before

Konsole windows have been moved to current display and current desktop. Their positions have changed. The configuration window has been placed under them.

After

The side effects mentioned above do not occur.


  • Open a few Konsole windows, put them on different desktops and at different positions.
  • Open Configure Konsole dialog, change "remove window titlebar and frame" option.
  • Apply

Before

Konsole windows' titlebar and frame became visible/invisible. The windows have been moved to current desktop. Both their positions and display have changed. The configuration window has been placed under them.

After

Like before, except windows' position and display - they are restored now.
