Public bug reported: Yestarday i've updated my kubuntu (i update system nearly every day) and today i found, that any plasma animations causes high CPU load and immediately disabling kwin effects. After enabling by alt+shift+f12, any plasma animation drops kwin effects again. X-restart as well as system reboot didn't help. If i disable stability check in desktop effects settings, kwin hangs with high CPU usage for a long time after initiating any plasma animation.
Those of effects, that not related with plasma animation (kwin translucancy, wobbly windows) are OK. I took a look for install logs and found mesa-* there. Then i've downgraded mesa-* to maverick version, and all seems ok after that. Then i saw this in changelog for mesa: == 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 == [ Felix Geyer ] * Add 114_intel_dri_renderer_string.diff: Re-add "GEM" to the dri renderer string of the intel driver. Removing it breaks KDE's detection for the blur effect. (LP: #753370) I have intel card and maybe this change is the cause.
