Has been a pain point for me too.

I have never used that option as I prefer to run either intel or nvidia for
the entire desktop. The latest few versions of Kubuntu seem to be working
quite well by just installing the nvidia-prime and nvidia-352 packages
(which installs bbswitch-dkms to build the nvidia kernel modules) and
selecting either graphics engine then reboot. I don't do games so I am happy
with the intel driver, besides that the nvidia driver causes an annoying
artifact on a second TV monitor when playing movies.

~ prime-select --help
Usage: /usr/bin/prime-select nvidia|intel|query

~ prime-select query
intel
