Bug#699660: /usr/bin/kwin: kwin fails to start when changing a setting in a previous session
Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.8.4-6
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/kwin
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to activate kwin effects like coverflow window switching As Ifound impossible to do, it still keep changing the windows with the traditional animation
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I opened systemsettings, then in desktop effects, I checked "Cover flow window switch" and uncheked "traditional windows switch", finally "Apply" button. As I didn't noticed any change whe I switched windows, I close the session and started it again, and Then the session never starts, it keep with the animation of the beggining.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I expected to start session as usual
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Session never starts, as I can reproduce this issue, everytime I change a desktop setting, any.
At least just session restart without system reboot.
