[Bug 862964] Re: With desktop effects enabled, kwin window decorations are badly distorted (Oneiric, Video card: Radeon 9200, driver radeon)

[Donatas Glodenis]

In my case the actual bug seems to be the failing support for my video
card by the new raster qt graphics subsystem, which becomes default in
kde 4.7. The upstream bug report for this is here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282882

See if running this command via Alt-F2 helps:

kwin --graphicssystem native --replace &

to go back to distorted window decorations, do this:

kwin --graphicssystem raster --replace &

(just do not run these in Konsole; for some reason, when you close the
Konsole window afterwards, the kwin will be gone as well :)

A workaround, which makes kwin use native graphicssystem as a default,
is described in the upstream bug report as well. But it is not a
permanent one, you would have to reapply the fix every time kwin is
updated. So, anyone willing to read it and present a permanent
alternative, working on Kubuntu?
