demo ruleset

SUMMARY
Window rules export and import results in a different rule order.
Furthermore, if rules are deleted before import is done, Kwin goes mad and crashes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. export ruleset
2. delete rules
3. import ruleset

OBSERVED RESULT
Windows and panels strange behaviour

EXPECTED RESULT
Exported ruleset imported in exactly the same order without confusing Kwin.

Comment 3 Dominik Kummer 2021-09-21 23:31:27 UTC 
True but unfortunately my backtraces for crash reports are unusable (lack of debugging symbols on Archlinux) I added the coredump from shortly before I reported the issue on Sept 18th.

I think the crash was tightly related to this reported issue, because it happened a few seconds after I recognized the different ordered ruleset after import.

I did the procedure on a fresh user account.
