REVISION SUMMARY This is change needed by KWin. KWin has the problem that it destroys its internal Wayland connection (KWin as client for KWin as server) before shutting down the application. Other external libraries loaded into KWin (e.g. breeze window decoration) are unloaded later on, then try to clean up their Wayland resources and crash KWin due to accessing a no longer valid Wayland connection. With the help of this new API KWin can access all connections during the clean up and destroy them before shutting down the Wayland server and thus exit cleanly.
