@Audience: offensive language does not help anyone here. It only leads to
worsening the situation as non-technical aspects come to the fore.

Please, don't. 

Repeating here, what I wrote in the merge request already:

There are a lot of users out there, that depend on it. Hard. Those, that I know
of, used to work with KDE since the early 2000s. Well, personally, I'm using
KDE as my main desktop since ~1999, doing all kinds of administration,
development, and support work whole day long. So, during the last 23 years, I
probably had less than 50 days not using a KDE desktop somehow (self-employed,
you know..). And that legacy turned into strong habits, that most of us won't
get rid of, because they use it for their own advantage.

My workflows and desktop organization is so entangled with this feature, that I
cannot *even* switch to Wayland unless Wayland will provide a similar feature
on its own. It's also one of those features, that sets us apart.

It might not be the nicest thing in the world implementationwise, but I'm
immensely grateful, that you fixed it! 

As a reminder: as far as I know, the Wayland protocol has no such concept of
shaded/shuttered windows. Therefore, preserving this feature in the longer term
would, in my humble view, require that such an option be considered in the
Wayland protocol itself. If anyone has more information on this topic, please
let me know. Thank you!
