> Let's assume we use XRender or QPainter compositor: how can we switch to software in this case? In KWin that is before we load any QtQuick (at least on Wayland on X11 I'm not sure, Aurorae might be loaded before). Unlike scene we can't switch this at runtime; which means whatever we do we have to support all 4 combinations of GL/Software views into -> GL/Software views. If you do want to set this based on the initial scene backend, skip using this method and call the static method on QQuickWindow instead.
