KWin is an Xorg window manager and Wayland compositor.

Installation

`+filecaps`	Use Linux file capabilities to control privilege rather than set*id (this is orthogonal to USE=caps which uses capabilities at runtime e.g. libcap)
`+handbook`	Enable handbooks generation for packages by KDE
`+shortcuts`	Enable global shortcuts support via kde-plasma/kglobalacceld
`accessibility`	Add support for accessibility (eg 'at-spi' library)
`debug`	Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
`gles2-only`	Use GLES 2.0 (OpenGL for Embedded Systems) or later instead of full OpenGL (see also: gles2)
`lock`	Enable screen locking via kde-plasma/kscreenlocker
`screencast`	Enable screencast portal using media-video/pipewire
`systemd`	Enable use of systemd-specific libraries and features like socket activation or session tracking
`test`	Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
