All I had to do was to revert to "Show selected window" in Task Switcher and disable all of the last group of Desktop Effects: the window management ones. No doubt some people enjoy flash effects, but to me, after no more than a few minutes they become just a distracting irritation. Or an irritating distraction; choose your pick (as my Dad used to say when the rock cakes came out). Many thanks, Fernando. -- Rgds Peter

[gentoo-user] Nasty visual effect in plasma-5
Hello list, Every time I press to switch windows, a great white box springs out of the left edge of the screen to show me what windows are available. But I can already see them by tabbing through them. I could do without this visual slap in the face. Is there a way to switch it off? I haven't found any way so far - I don't even know what to call it. -- Rgds Peter
