Some outputs have the same EDID, which results in two connected outputs
having the same hash. To find out which config values need to be used,
also check the connector name.
Some applications do not provide a window class according to
the spec (WM_CLASS on X11, appId on Wayland), so KWin cannot
"detect" this property.
In those cases, notify the user that this is a bug within the
application (so it is not confused for a KWin misbehavior)
and also prevent setting a wrong description.

Fullscreen windows are most likely games or videos, where the blend effect is an
annoyance that freezes the screen for a moment when a accent color change is triggered
in the background.
The main motivation behind this change is to get rid of the dependency
on EGLSurface so the order in which output layers are presented or
updated doesn't matter.
At the moment, if both the cursor and the primary layers are updated
within same frame, the read and draw surfaces in present() will be wrong
for the primary layer.
With fbos, the read and draw surfaces won't matter.
Having both selectionChanged and selectionCleared as well as
sendSelection and sendClearSelection complicates things. API users
have to connect to both signals, internally the methods have logic
to call themselves but in the end do the same as the protocols only
know send_selection.
It's a necessary step to let kwin repaint the cursor from Compositor.
Unfortunately, it also means that we need to add more (temporary) code
to paint the cursor in backends.
Currently, output backends track the cursor behind the scenes. This
results in some amount of code duplication, for example the handling of
hidden cursors, every backend handles in its own unique way, some don't
do it correctly. Another issue is that output backend interact with
other components behind the back. This can be a problem for tasks such
as backing the cursor with an output layer.
This change introduces explicit output cursor manipulation APIs in the
Output class. There's a good chance that it's going to be revised more
in the future as part of streamlining output layer manipulation apis.
With the proposed changes, the workspace would need to call
Output::setCursor() or Output::moveCursor() to set/unset or move the
cursor, respectively.
At the moment, we rely on placeholder output getting created, but there
are cases where it's desired to spin kwin with virtual outputs so you
could take screenshots and things as such.
