Hi KDE Packagers, unfortunately we have introduced a nasty regression while fixing a bug in KWin for 4.9.1 [1]. With the "wrong" settings and the wrong set of open windows distributed over multiple desktops this can result in a freeze.
A freeze in KWin means that the compositor stops, that is the user has no chance to recover from this state unless he knows how to switch to a tty. In case you have not yet pushed out updates for kde-workspace I would kindly ask you to hold them off till we have a working and regression free fix. A patch is already attached to the bug, but I want to give it more time for testing tomorrow. As an alternative you could also revert git commit 567f8cc50082ce5307aa7163fdf3176446a1df5a which introduced the regression. I will keep you informed when the patch has been committed to the branch. Sorry for the inconvenience. Kind Regards Martin Gräßlin [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id06260
