Hello everyone,

as it appears, in the following versions of Now Dock the dock will try to live outside plasmashell as a standalone separate executable. It will still use all plasma technologies from frameworks etc. but there is an issue with that design decision change as the plasma developers informed me.

In wayland world only the plasmashell executable gains access through kwayland to manipulate tasks, get information about the windows and even move its own window.

I would like to ask you what are the policies and guidelines in order for another executable to gain such access. This is the case of course for all docks living outside plasmashell.


thanks a lot for your time.


regards,

michail
