Hello Martin,
I have written down something like a "Mission Statement" for KWin
[1]
and I would like to get your input on what I have written.
It is a good starting point. I would soften the stance on network
transparency
because it is still used, likely on the line of "it is not its
primary focus,
but it is certainly possible". It comes off less strong than "not
designed
with".
What I find important is also to describe the current situation as it
is right now. For Network Transparency the current situation is that the
following topics are very bad suited for it:
* OpenGL 2 based Compositing
* Window Decorations (especially Oxygen)
* TabBox (written in QML)
* Desktop Change OSD (written in QML)
* Graphics system raster
to me that all does not look like KWin still supports Network
Transparency at all. Especially Alt+Tab in QML is quite a showstopper
for the usage on remote setups. The fact that "it is still used" does
not make it work. It is possible to use KWin with Network Transparency
but it won't be a pleasant experience and I would not recommend anyone
to use KWin for Network Transparency.
Cheers
Martin
