           Summary: KWin Desktop Effects work -- sometimes
           Product: kwin
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: phrkonaleash@gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

From day one, my machine has worked splendidly with KWin4's desktop effects. I
installed Fedora11 KDE on my machine and the effects 'just worked.' I left it
like that until the shinies of compiz got the best of me...
After trying Compiz for a day or two and deciding that its usage of my CPU was
far less than satisfactory, I tried switching back to kwin after completely
uninstalling compiz from a tty with no X enabled. After logging in I tried
setting KWin up to use desktop effects, but it was no use, KWin would tell me
that it could not enable desktop effects with my current X configuration. Wha?
You just worked a week ago, and compiz (which technically requires more 3D
support) played just fine.

After spending a night or two fiddling with it, trying every possible
configuration in System Settings->Desktop->Desktop Effects->Advanced, kwin
magically decided (with no difference in the configuration options which I had
tried MULTIPLE times before!) to enable desktop effects and work nicely. Until
I logged out and logged back in, at which point, KWin was refusing to enable
desktop effects, again. It has done this on and off for the last few days. I
went so far as to rm ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc, but that did not fix this
issue.

I -know- the system supports 3D, compositing and the necessary components to
enable Desktop Effects, the biggest issue I have is that KWin's error dialog
has no real information on why it is failing, and the failure itself.

Anything else? There is no backtrace to be had as it is not actually
crashing...
