(So it's probably busy sending tons of drawing commands) This is pretty bad when I receive a quassel highlight while I'm not looking, and then notice that plasmashell was busy draining my battery doing god-knows-what to re-render that small area on the screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a tray icon which is animated 2.
