matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example

    QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList

in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?

header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.

So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
