Hi,
currently every window gets access. This will change soon. The
implementation for authorization is already on the whiteboard left to
me :-)
Basically the required interface will be restricted. The
identification will be based on process ids with a root (!) owned
global configuration file.
At runtime any access without authorization will simply abort the
application. It will raise a Wayland protocol error which will result
in application termination.
There might be a protocol added to ask the user for authorization. But
that will be runtime, that is every time the user restarts the
application it will be asked again. But that's a secondary step. The
first will be to just shut down any access to these privileged
interface.
Most likely this will be introduced with Plasma 5.10 or 5.11.
Cheers
Martin

Hello everyone,
as it appears, in the following versions of Now Dock the dock will try
to live outside plasmashell as a standalone separate executable. It
will still use all plasma technologies from frameworks etc. but there
is an issue with that design decision change as the plasma developers
informed me.
In wayland world only the plasmashell executable gains access through
kwayland to manipulate tasks, get information about the windows and
even move its own window.
I would like to ask you what are the policies and guidelines in order
for another executable to gain such access. This is the case of course
for all docks living outside plasmashell.
thanks a lot for your time.
regards,
michail
