[Bug 633406] [NEW] Display freeze when changing kwin effects settings if effects are active

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

When changing kwin (KDE window effects) effects settings if compositing
is active, the screen will freeze.


RELEASE NOTE: In a KDE Plasma Workspace, when changing desktop effects
settings with effects active, the display will freeze.  This can be
avoided by disabling effects, making the desired settings change, and
then re-enabling effects.  If the display freezes, effects can be
disabled using shift+alt+f12 and the display will, in most cases,
unfreeze.
