CC'ing plasma-devel and distributions so stakeholders can chime in. >From what I am seeing this patch causes KWin to import a qml module that lives in plasma-workspace import org.kde.plasma.workspace.components 2.0 as WorkspaceComponents At the same time plasma-workspace build depends on KWin due to the need of the DBus xml files. So the situation right now is that plasma-workspace build depends on KWin and KWin has a runtime dependency on plasma-workspace. I think it's not a full cycle since installing plasma-workspace does not need anything from KWin but maybe it can cause problems for distributions? David
