[shell] Ignore placeholder screens

A placeholder screen is created by Qt when no real screens exist. We
don't want to create panels and containments for those, it is a whole
world of pain.

Plasma has a hook to ignore some screens which is extended with this
check.

Comment 17 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-01-12 15:30:19 UTC 
I can't reproduce this crash. Can you confirm that this issue is still present?
Comment 18 Patrick Silva 2022-01-14 11:29:05 UTC 
I'm unable to test on neon unstable. Plasma always starts with mult-monitor mode set to "Switch to laptop screen".
And kded5 crashes when I try to start Plasma with a different multi-monitor mode.

Can confirm that. Is there another bug report about it?

I haven't seen any so far.
Comment 21 galder 2022-01-26 13:59:31 UTC 
should not  be this ticket set as confirmed?
Comment 22 galder 2022-01-26 14:30:34 UTC 
moving to confirmed
Comment 23 Nate Graham 2022-05-12 12:49:28 UTC 
Patrick, can you still reproduce this in current git master? There have been a lot of multi-screen Wayland fixes recently.
Comment 24 Patrick Silva 2022-05-21 14:03:28 UTC 
Plasma is no longer crashing after the provided steps, but plasmasession is. Reported as bug 454159.
Comment 25 Nate Graham 2023-08-17 19:03:14 UTC 
We have a very similar issue happening where apps and Plasma crash in QtWaylandClient::QWaylandWindow::handleScreensChanged() when monitors enter power save mode. See Bug 473020, Bug 468846, and Bug 467147.

I can't tell whether they're the exact same issue, or slightly different.
