Heiko Becker requested to merge work/heirecka/plasmawindowed-use-shared-contexts into master

Original commit message(s)

  • plasmawindowed: Use shared contexts analogue to plasmashell

This fixes loading applets using QtWebEngine, which otherwise may complain about something like this:

"QtWebEngineQuick::initialize() must be called from the Qt gui thread."

According to Qt's docs [1] setting the Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts attribute before constructing a QGuiApplication, has the same effect as QtWebEngineQuick::initialize() and avoids pulling in the humongous dependency.

For plasmashell it has been introduced with 6c1c6b86.

CCBUG: 495758

Test plan

Ran plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma_applet_dict and org.kde.plasma.webbrowser, which showed up and allowed me to do things with them. I did only test against 6.2.3 though.
