In my case the actual bug seems to be the failing support for my video card by the new raster qt graphics subsystem, which becomes default in kde 4.7. The upstream bug report for this is here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282882
See if running this command via Alt-F2 helps: kwin --graphicssystem native --replace & to go back to distorted window decorations, do this: kwin --graphicssystem raster --replace & (just do not run these in Konsole; for some reason, when you close the Konsole window afterwards, the kwin will be gone as well :) A workaround, which makes kwin use native graphicssystem as a default, is described in the upstream bug report as well. But it is not a permanent one, you would have to reapply the fix every time kwin is updated. So, anyone willing to read it and present a permanent alternative, working on Kubuntu? ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #282882 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282882 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862964 Title: With desktop effects enabled, kwin window decorations are badly distorted (Oneiric, Video card: Radeon 9200, driver radeon) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/862964/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
