You could do though by enabling/disabling a hidden KWin Script. That's what KCM does.

This may seem scary, so I can try to simplify the process. However, I've never done such automation, so I don't know how exactly it is done. I assume you can execute the script on docking operation, right? I could add a script, that enables and disable Bismuth, if that's what you want.

A script would be perfectly fine, I could invoke that from the udev hook I'm already using.

I think the DBus implementation for Bismuth might help. Similar to BSPWM's bspc command controlling bspwm and I3wm's equivalent. With that we can interact with Bismuth with commands.

This is close to what I'm currently doing, btw) See #219
