Nope, could only see the background and the mouse pointer.
Context menus don't shop up (those are popups, right?).

Yes, that's possible. And not only that. I can see the pointer shape changes.
I.e. if I have this window on the dead screen and move the pointer where this
text field is supposed to be, I can see the pointer changing to the "I" shape.

I just tried another thing, maybe that helps to analyze this. The test was
motivated by the popup comment above. I wanted to open a popup menu on that
screen, namely the "About" dialog of Firefox.
So I moved Firefox half way to that screen (to check if the dialog opens there
and not on the other screen) and switched off the screen. (And back on again.)
The interesting thing here was, that I could see a screenshot of where the
window was (it obviously moved after the disconnect because kwin moves windows
around if you disconnect the output they are shown on). The rest of the screen
was black.
However, this is only the case if the window at the time has focus. If I move
it there, switch to a different window and then turn the screen off and on
again, the screen is completely black.

I might be wrong, but that to me seems like a confirmation that this is a bug
in kwin and not the driver?
