Description Björn 'Fuchs' Krombholz 2008-03-18 21:05:02 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

As explained in more detail in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159047 the "Defaults" button doesn't work as expected:

[...]
Desktop -> Desktop Effects -> General           YES/NO [5]
Desktop -> Desktop Effects -> All Effects       NO

[5] works on the main page, but doesn't reset the "Advanced Options"
[...]

PS: I hope this is applied to the correct module as there are some differences between KDE 3 and 4.

I can confirm the default-button-not-resetting-all-settings here with KDE SC 4.9.1, setting the bug details accordingly.

Set the window-switching (alt-tab) to 3D-Window-Staple/Pile ("3D-Fensterstapel") and set the shortcut to alt-tab for the effect.

Reset to defaults with the defaults-button in the "All Effects Tab". (Systemsettings -> Workspace Effects -> All Effects)

It certainly resets the animation speed in Systemsettings -> Workspace Effects -> General ("Allgemein"), the effects also have been reset.

What has not been reset appear to be the short-cut bindings. Alt+tab doesnt have any effect anymore. The default Window-Switching with alt-tab would be expected by the user.

In 5.x there is a new configuration module which splits compositing and effect settings. This means this bug doesn't apply any more, therefore set to wontfix. One could also say it's fixed as default button is working in the new effects kcm.
