--- Comment #4 from Matthias Dahl <ua_bugz_...@binary-island.eu> --- > So there is some GL error which is then sent to us. Wouldn't it be beneficial to track down what is causing that error in the first place? I have seen this both with my old system (Fermi) and my new one (Pascal) across several driver major versions. Also, it seems like this desktop effect is a common offender and causing trouble, judging from what I was able to read up on it. Besides all that, I bet there is something terrible wrong here. Going from msg to msg shouldn't flicker the desktop panel, nor should it cause to restart the desktop effects eventually. To me, it seems a bit like there is timing involved somewhere. While I was using the akonadiconsole and did a restart of akonadi, akonakiconsole was obviously "busy"/"sluggish" while I moved the window to another desktop... and the desktop effects were restarted. Again, with the effect naturally on. I mean, I have no problem turning it off... and I see no advantage of having it on. But others will as well run into this problem -- and it is an annoying bug. And not everyone will have the time and patience to track it down or will report it here. It is, imho, bad press for KDE when in its default configuration, such a bug exists. Just my two cents, and I absolutely mean no disrespect here. Just trying to draw a wider picture... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
