 Hi,

 I don't expect to get any actual support for this just wondering if
 there's some trivial reason I'm overlooking as to why kde_x11 (plasma5 /
 kde overlay) crashes when starting xbmc-. I thought it might be
 because xbmc was starting in full screen mode but I changed that and it
 still crashes. kde_x11 exits with a segfault each time even after xbmc
 is closed. I have to restart from xdm before it will run again.

 Thanks,

Just wanted to add, I switched to xfce and can start it without any
problems (in fullscreen and windowed.) So it must have something to do
with my kwin_x11 build I'll try updating kwin and see what I can find
out. Again just curious if anyone had any opinions can't really expect
support :)

Miraculously I am not the only person who has had this problem:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337626

The odds of this being reported as a bug seem slim but sure enough it
has been.
