Version: 4.1.96 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When I rotate my desktop with xrandr, after rotating desktop effects are not working anymore (Although they are checked in the settings dialog) To get them working again, I have to uncheck and check them again. This is with a nvidia Geforce 6800M GT, driver: 180.22 on a 64bit system with opensuse 11.1 Qt: 4.4.4 KDE: 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)) "release 77.1" KWin: 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)) "release 76.2"
After some more testing I found out that this doesn't get triggered by all rotations, only by left and right, rotation:inverted keeps the desktop effects on.
Generalising, it appears kwin doesn't handle other xrandr events which it needs to when compositing is enabled. If I change the screen mode from my laptop (intel 945gm)'s native 1024x768 to 1024x600, to emulate a netbook, kwin's painting is badly corrupted - things are painted in the wrong place on the screen or not painted at all. Steps to reproduce: $ gtf 1024 600 50 (for a modeline) $ xrandr --newmode "1024x600" 39.55 1024 1048 1152 1280 600 601 604 618 -HSync +Vsync $ xrandr --addmode LVDS 1024x600 ("LVDS" here is hardware specific...) $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x600 and painting is corrupted Be ready with $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 in your clipboard to get the display usable again, you may not be able to see what you are typing....

Aike: do your commits fix this bug completely, or only partially?
I can confirm that switching modes with xrandr/krandrtray brakes the effects on my system too tl@I7:~/Documents$ uname -a Linux I7 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux to reproduce - just switch to any mode using xrandr -s 1024x768 for example the effects are gone after that tl@I7:~/Documents$ kwin --version Qt: 4.5.0 KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) KWin: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2)
