kde-workspace is frozen. -> not before summer 2014 (iff at all)

Lucky for you. Yet bugzilla suggests there's a problem.
Look at only the plain dupes of this one and feel free to search through bugzilla...

Yes, but dri does. The crash is in the driver.

So it works with suspended compositing as well?
 
> I can't find an option to automatically suspend compositing in KCM.
Because a general setting would be silly. Already was for unredirection.

This will unfortunately not work with unmanaged windows (and for some
strage reason most SDL games are; though i expect they will have to
change if they still want to be "fullscreened" on wayland as well)

@Alex
You should have received a RR that enables controlling this via kwin scripts.

> Instead there's now non-working (silently!)
Yes, that's a bit unfortunate. We had to remove gl system detection from the settings because it occasionally caused (guess what) driver crashes (though iirc mostly amd) - killing the dialog or even systemsettings.

> And... Mutter and Compiz now do unredirection by default.
They're probably just better than kwin then.
Or will figure such things happen.
