Re: Creating Activities does not work anymore

"Painter not active" sounds like its trying to render something and failing 
for some reason.

So some guesses of what to try :

Under system settings. configure desktop effects, advanced, could you try some 
different compositing type / qt graphics system settings? Mine is set to 

Compositing Type: opengl
Qt Graphics System: raster

You might need something different.

I'm not sure but It might be worth turning off some of desktop effects and 
trying as well.

Also it's probably worth checking to make sure kactivitymanagerd is running.

ps auxw | grep kactivitymanager
