With my X11 and Wayland hat on, I can only advice to *not* add it again. I'm sorry it won't work on Wayland (doesn't have a concept of SubWindows) and on X11 it's hardly used any more. It's a relict from the time before everybody used "alien" widgets [1]. Qt 5's xcb backend does not create non-alien widgets any more. Sure it's always possible to be extremely hacky and force X11 windows for your widgets, but that has a huge cost on performance side and on portability (such an application won't work on Wayland for example). For QtQuick it's obviously completely impossible as there are no widgets any more. Personally I'm unhappy that KSnapshot still exposes this feature, although it does not work for any application a little bit more complex than xterm (or stuck in the last millennium).
