Kwin marked as not working #30

Kwin, the KDE window manager and Wayland compositor, clearly does not work with this watcher when using it over Wayland. Further testing should be done to figure out more, I do not have the expertise required to figure out why, but it appears that Kwin does not support any of the protocols specified. As mentioned by @renyuneyun in ActivityWatch/activitywatch#92 it is possible to get the active window from kwin, but a great deal more work would be required to make this happen. It may be a bit different than just adding another protocol though as this dose not seem to be just a protocol that would be required.

aw-watcher-window-wayland would need to be mostly rewritten for that, because KDE solution would need a completely separate KWin + DBus handler, also it uses an outdated Wayland crate with a very different interface.

I have implemented it for Wayland + KDE, but I was already aware of the issue and planned the code with independent adapters in mind.

@2e3s Is there any chance that your implementation can be merged into this repo?

2e3s commented 10 months ago

@cjc7373 not really, my code is not based on this repository at all, so there is nothing to merge. Also this is "aw-watcher-window-wayland" while I intended to cover all Linux which includes X11, and later other platforms.
