4.5.2 - anyone tried?

[mitchell]

I had a problem with Present Windows. It was slow, and sometimes compositing
would get suspended. Blacklisting the graphics card (NVIDIA=GeForce 8400M
G/PCI/SSE2:-:3.3.0 NVIDIA 260.19.06) for Lanczos filter as described at

http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=90755

<http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=90755>fixed the issue.

Cheers.
