Kwin built and installed well but did not quite work... the desktop started without window manager, and trying to start it remotely (is there any way to start it from within the session?) produces an error:
dg@pieva:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 kwin kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libkephal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory now building the kwin from the 4.7 branch (it has the patch applied)... but configuration fails complaining about the libraries too old (at least 4.7.2 are required, and I have 4.7.1...) Seems I will have to go for project neon... Still, it would be valuable to understand, why running kwin fails when if I build it from sources and install it not using the particular Ubuntu packaging tools...
