[Bug 291532] [NEW] Cover- and Boxswitch effect enabled by default

[Martin Gräßlin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-window-manager

I installed Kubuntu 8.10 on a new system yesterday and noticed that
cover- and boxswitch are enabled by default and it looks a little bit
weird. It adds transparency to all windows except the front window and
that does not look nice as well as boxswitch is painted on top of the
front window.

As KDE default is boxswitch I guess that you want to have coverswitch as the default window switcher. In that case you have to set in kwin/effects/boxswitch.desktop
X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=false

And you should remove in kwin/kcmkwin/compositing/main.cpp in method
KWinCompositingConfig::loadGeneralTab() and
KWinCompositingConfig::saveGeneralTab() the default loading of boxswitch
for "Improved window management" or replace it by coverswitch.
