I have finally managed to finish a patch for bug 174769 – "Writing of
settings to kwinrc should be postponed until user confirms desktop
effects settings" (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174769), which
needs some reviews. You can find it at http://gist.github.com/26001.
Better late then never, I guess.

I hope that my changes don't break anything, because the KWin config
system seems pretty fragile to me and lots of things are currently
done in pretty inscrutable ways.

There are a number of basically unneeded changes in the patch because
I tried like three different approaches to the problem. However, I
think they make the code easier to read. If you want to remove them,
please feel free to do so, but I really have no time for this at the
moment.

The patch also contains quite a few purely cosmetical changes to
kcmkwin/kwincompositing/main.cpp in order to comply to Lubos' cofing
style standards. You can obtain a patch without them using the git
tree at http://github.com/klickverbot/kwin/tree/compositingcrash (just
clone the branches master and compositingcrash, rebase --interactive
the history of compositingcrash to remove the questionable commit, and
diff to master).

I don't expect that I'll be in IRC very much the next few days, so if
you have any further questions, please contact me via mail/this list.


P.S.: If this made its way into trunk, this would be my first commit
to KDE. Yay.
