When combined with a modified
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/1959 this allows us
to set a DPI in xrdb and mark all xwayland windows as being 2x (or
other) and avoid upscales for xwayland clients in a way that doesn't
impact other wayland clients or require third-party changes. Any use of
fractional values is in layers we control instead of over the wire.
kwayland-server is the right place for this abstraction as we need
Outputs to differ on a per resource basis. Something we can't control
from within kwin.
Right now only protocols used by Xwayland are covered. If we covered remaining protocols we can offer user-control on all remaining clients which could open up other possibilities such as a user controlled dynamic resizing, or adapt to possible future protocol changes with wayland scaling.
Relevant kwin code can be found in the branch "work/x11-scale-opt-out".5.25https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwayland-server/-/merge_requests/249Introduce a new signal when a drag is dropped2021-06-03T13:03:41ZDavid EdmundsonIntroduce a new signal when a drag is dropped5.22
