KDE: Present Windows effect sometimes not working

Postby vecciora » Sep 18th, '13, 18:46

Sometimes I have to kill plasma-desktop and ran it again to get that effect working.

Why is this? Is there a solution?

@wintpe Sorry if it's not detailed enough.

So...

I've enabled "Present Windows" desktop effect on KDE.

The thing is this effect and "Taskbar Thumbnail" sometimes didn't work after login while other effects just fine.

I have to kill the plasma-desktop and re-run it again to get it fixed.

killall plasma-desktop&& plasma-desktop

Thanks.

Sorry, but it's not done yet.

I just said that to get the effect working I have to kill plasma-desktop and then rerun it.

The problem which is the effect sometimes not working is still there.

Fortunately, I haven't encountered this problem lately. I don't know why.
