Well, the "train is departed already" ;-) for 5.24, where the choice was to
either life with the bug, that was addressed with the original patch, and loose
the windows shader feature, or revert. Choose your poison.
For 5.25, this issue needs to be reevaluated, since the source code module,
where the path/revert was applied, does not exist anymore.
While I appreciate any clean-up of code, it should never lead to regressions
(compare with uncounted LKML discussions on that topic).
Given, this functionality is missing in Wayland on a conceptual level, this all
doesn't sound fortunate for those long term KDE users (I started with KDE in
the last century). The developers seem to just concentrate on Wayland, and
don't care much about our X legacy and related regressions.
For me, it started with the removal of the XRender engine, that effectively
killed my preferred VNC setup (Xvnc). Luckily, I was able to replace it with a
deprecated, outdated but functional setup using x11vnc. Since then, I saw
regressions, where the second screen is gone, when switching it off, scrambling
the whole desktop setup. Then plasmoids size management broke, the comic
plasmoid is able to exhaust a cpu out of two on my poor 10 years old Lenovo X1
(1st gen), making it a heater.
And now the window shading is about to disappear, which is a concept, that I'm
using heavily since about 20 years.
I know, developers resources are scarce, but all this is kind of alarming, and
the alarms are ringing for some time already.
@Vlad, a statement from you would be really nice.
