Window decorations slow or do not show on non-KDE windows. If they do not

Effects all compositing options.
Where to file bug?
Quick fix?
Quick fix, force install all your 'nvidia' and 'glx' installed packages back to 'Jessie-backports' and then 'lock-them' works, maybe 20-24 packages that you will be locking, varies a little with my installs, some I had not upgraded and I only had to lock the packages. I used synaptic while in xfce4 and all your kde apps work from xfce4 too as a side note. Note no problem with upgrades and those files being locked, at this time anyways. hehe
There's a lot noise out there about fix's, I found nothing works for me. I came up with this fix and it works. While gtk works with the upgrade, plasma don't, it's a problem with plasma, you can't blame nvidia and say they are not doing their part, this is a problem debian plasma, I'm sure they are working on it. Seems to affect only 'legacy-304' and could be a simple code error.
With the Debian-nvidia driver: Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL2. Note dialog is working, sound is working, no plasma.
With the Debian-free driver, computer freeze with colorful squiggly lines and I have to push the power button and repair the file system.
David, do you have a better fix than down-grading the packages? And I may not need to down grade as many packages as I do, but it works.
