Wow! I'd say that probably has something to do with it, for sure! But<br>
it's totally out of the blue, for me. I've never seen or heard anything<br>
like it!<br>
<br>
Two possibilities and if those (and sdowdy's suggestions) don't pan out,<br>
hit bugzilla and see if there's anything close. I'd say file a bug if<br>
you don't find anything like it, but what they're working on now is one<br>
and a half to two years of development beyond the 4.6 you're running, so<br>
it's probably not worth even thinking about at this point, if there's<br>
nothing already there about it. Once the new Slackware's out and you're<br>
on 4.8.x, however, if the bug's still there, I'd file it.<br>
<br>
There are only two possibilities I can think of that would be anywhere<br>
/close/ to that.<br>
<br>
1) Check to be sure, you're running kwin as the window manager, correct?<br>
Obviously if it somehow got replaced by compiz or the like, there'd be<br>
some dramatic loss of window manager configurability within kde, but I've<br>
never tried it, so I'm not sure what the symptoms would look like.<br>
<br>
Probably the easiest way to be sure kwin's your window manager is to run<br>
kwin --replace, from krunner or the like. You might also try from konsole<br>
or the like, and see if it spits out any useful information as errors,<br>
but if it's like most kde apps, devs apparently don't expect users to be<br>
watching STDOUT/STDERR at all, so they print out all kinds of alarming<br>
looking stuff even when things are working, for all one can tell. As a<br>
result, that output tends to be useless for troubleshooting unless you<br>
have another similarly configured system that's working to try it on as<br>
well, and can do a diff to eliminate all the "normal noise".<br>

kwin --replace seemed to work just fine - everything looked exactly like it did prior \
to the command, plus I got the following valuable (?) output in konsole. It is \
clearly warning me that some effects are not supported, although it remains a mystery \
as to why.<br>
