LyX on Gnome wayland - a new decoration alternative

[Lorenzo Bertini]

Dear list,

if use LyX on Gnome wayland using "wayland" as a platform (and not "xcb")
you probably don't have any shadow and only very basic window decoration.
This is because Qt still hasn't implemented proper wayland decorations.

You then have to rely on external Qt plugins to have nicer decorations and
shadows. The projects QGnomePlatform and adwaita-qt are being discontinued
and replaced by QAdwaitaDecorations (
https://github.com/FedoraQt/QAdwaitaDecorations).

I forked the latter in https://github.com/bertini97/qadwaitadecorations
trying to address some problems of the original repo, like hardcoded colors
and shadow artifacts.

Sorry if this is too off-topic. I posted in the hope of helping people who
use Gnome and don't want to have a bad experience with LyX on wayland.

Lorenzo
