Use only GTK Module for managing window decorations CSS

Merged Mikhail Zolotukhin requested to merge gikari/kde-gtk-config:only-module-for-windec into master

Now we are no longer use gtk.css file inside ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ directory for window decorations. To load decorations into GTK apps we now exclusively use GTK module.

The module is a GTK-app addon, that loads the buttons on application startup, then it reacts to changes of windows_decorations.css file in config directory and loads and unloads it dynamically depending on its presence.

For example: file is present - it is loaded on the startup, file is deleted - it is unloaded, file is created or changed - it is loaded, while the past version of it is unloaded.

File presence is controlled by kde-gtk-config kded5 module.

🧪 Test Plan

This test plan is based on the one found in !2 (merged)

Before doing any of these tests:

  1. Restart kded5 (once).
  2. Apply new kconf_update script.

To open a GTK 3 application with the loaded module:

export GTK_PATH="~/kde/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/"
gedit

1. Main functionality

  1. Open Window Decorations KCM
  2. Open the GTK application with CSD
  3. Change window decorations
  4. GTK app should use the new decorations from the KCM

2. Change on colors' change

5. Initial loading

After changing the decorations:

From the bug report:

  1. Set the window decorations to something vivid
  2. Do not open GTK app yet.
