I've posted this already to the kwin list, apparently they've got a bug in
the related code. Workaround is to go to the window behaviour configuration
in systemsettings, uncheck one of the checkboxes, check it again then
apply. Only works until the next restart of the session.

Will file a bugreport if I don't get an answer on the kwin list today.
