Description Unknown 2014-05-16 09:43:03 UTC
This is kind of weird but when I launch kwin --replace, kwin does not immediately start, it hangs until I click a window or something similar.
Only output at that point:

Could not find drkonqi at /usr/lib/libexec/drkonqi

(I don't have that installed)

Reproducible: Always

yep, that seems to be a regression in Qt. Very annoying, started a few weeks ago.

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2014-05-16 12:23:33 UTC
note: problem doesn't happen if there is no window manager running yet
Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2014-05-19 11:56:31 UTC
patch for Qt: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,85654
Comment 5 Martin Flöser 2014-06-02 11:44:09 UTC
Git commit 6210b6bb8af128c8e93c77330af80185d8ac3bec by Martin Gräßlin.
Committed on 21/05/2014 at 06:10.
Pushed by graesslin into branch 'master'.

Ensure the xcb connection gets flushed before the event dispatcher blocks

This is a workaround for Qt versions which do not yet have the change
https://codereview.qt-project.org/85654

It is important to have this workaround as applications can get stalled
when a framework uses xcb and doesn't flush the connection manually.

Comment 6 Hrvoje Senjan 2014-06-02 19:07:47 UTC
i didn't tested yet the above commit, but i noticed this behaviour also when using kwin(_x11 ;-) with lxqt (so not sure is comment 3 100% true) on login (needed to press something during login)
Comment 7 Hrvoje Senjan 2014-06-02 22:33:10 UTC
the commit fixes the behaviour within KDE session, but the above comment is still valid (well, as is to be expected ;-)

@Martin, the Qt review is, i hope, targeted for stable branch?

yes, but it's still not approved.
