Bug#804638: kde-plasma-desktop: "The window switcher installation is broken"
Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:90
Severity: minor
I have installed KDE via kde-plasma-desktop (plus kwin-x11) instead of kde-standard which has too many applications I
don't use. This way I have more freedom over what is installed in my system.
If I am doing things the wrong way please close this bug report. Otherwise:
The problem is that when I go to Window Manager Settings (right-clicking on any window title bar) if I choose Task Switcher
and have a visualization enabled (like Cover Switch or Flip Switch from the drop box) the next time I do an ALT+TAB I will
get a message saying:
The Window Switcher installation is broken, resources are missing.
Contact your distribution about this.
If I disable the transition effects (using the disable button to the left of the drop box) then the error no longer
appears so this isn't a grave problem - probably just a missing dependency which would be nice to have fixed in order to
be able to enjoy the transition effects whenever kde-plasma-desktop is installed.
Please let me know if there is a better package this bug could be reported against. Thanks!
