Bug#854980: kwin-x11: In multisession (all graphical) w/ desktop effects, kwin tends to crash sessions randomly on nvidia hardware



Package: kwin-x11
Version: 4:5.8.2-1+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Thie ticket might be related to #854372. I have a NVidia GPU, GTX 1070, and
have tweaked KWin settings to force keeping window thumbnails in memory and
disabled the allow apps to block compositing feature.

Now here's the issue, which does not always happen :
DO : open a first KDE session w/ desktop effects enabled (SDDM is the login
manager used).
DO : using the KDE switch user feature, open another KDE session for another
user, w/ desktop effects enabled as well and the kwin settings set as above.
DO : do some stuff on the second session like opening a browser, working
normally and so on, and then log out of this session.
EXPECT : the system should switch back to the first session, and when the user
enters her password again the first session appears again.
ACTUAL : unable to log in back again, the screen is frozen, only mouse moves.
You have to switch to VT, run to kill -9 -1 as your user and restart sddm.

Note : under KDE 4 w/ Jessie and many backports including the kernel and NVidia
driver which were at the same version as w/ Stretch the issue did not occur. So
it may be either X related, or Kwin related (or maybe a GPU driver bug). Also
note as I've stated in #854372 that kwin is extremely unstable w/ default
settings on such hardware (while not at all on other configurations I could
test).

Hardware :
Intel Core i7 4770
32 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 1070 w/ GPU 375.26 binary driver
Debian Stretch 9
