Using Kubuntu 16.04 on a Thinkpad X240 with Intel graphics this problem
also causes Yakuake ("Quake-style terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole
technology") to remain invisible when activated. It still accepts input
and the window is in focus, it just is not visible.

Switching the compositor rendering backend from OpenGL to XRender works
around the problem but the XRender backend seems to cause massive screen
tearing when scrolling or watching videos so this workaround is
suboptimal.

Installing xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core from
ppa:canonical-x/testing fixes the issue!
