 * The class KWinModule provides information about the state of the
 * window manager as required by windowmanager modules. It informs a
 * module about all currently managed windows and changes to them (via
 * Qt signals).
 *
 * KWinModule uses NETRootInfo internally. Modules written with this
 * class will work fine under any window manager that implements the
 * NET_WM protocol.
 *
 * There are no methods to manipulate windows. Those are defined in
 * the classes KWin, NETWinInfo and NETRootInfo.
