This is not about "a general setting" at all, but about a protocol. The silly part about the *general* setting was that we treated konqueror and quake equally. The _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR was actually somehow inspired by the (largely ignored) _KDE_NET_WM_BLOCK_COMPOSITING, so merging the atoms and deprecate _KDE_NET_WM_BLOCK_COMPOSITING certainly makes sense. It will require to move the blocking code from Client to Toplevel - does anything but (upcoming) SDL2 support it so far? > https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110088/ > I think this could be a good "default" option The problem of this is that we don't get out of the "default" since there's no system in place to rule override_redirects (since they do not belong to WM or user) The _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR tristate is a red herring: if special clients are not interested in saying: "1", why should regular clients be interested in saying "2"? And why esp. those which are override_redirect and thus often don't set any properties at all? The next problem is that unmanged windows are only matched "fullscreen" by their geometry, so if your imagebrowser opens a popup to preview the image and uses the maximum screen area, you'll toggle compositing by it. -> The only (present) "downstream" (user accessible) way to control those (and FS state changes of managed clients) is via the script interface. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850628 Title: When the Euphoria (GL) Screensaver starts, KWIN crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/850628/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
