SUMMARY
After upgrading to KDE 6.1.0, my desktop environment became totally unusable.
The opened windows have no frame (title bar, maximize/minimize/close buttons),
so I can't control them. Some actions like "Alt + Tab" doesn't work as well.
Meanwhile, the opened windows are not shown on my task bar.
In the system settings - Virtual Desktops, an error shown up says "There was an
error requesting information from the compositor". So I guess something
happened that led to the broken of the compositor.
I use KDE under X11 environment. I have tried to switch to Wayland, but I
cannot log in Wayland through SDDM (After successful login, the screen turns
black and soon return back to the login screen.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade KDE to 6.1.0
OBSERVED RESULT
Opened windows are not controllable.
EXPECTED RESULT
They can be controlled as normal.
