Disabling "compact/thumbnail/etc" combo fixes the issue. 

Quick windows switching where the preview bar does not appears is working, however, pressing longer ALT-TAB hangs the 
/usr/bin/kwin_x11 --replace 
process with 100 CPU usage and the entire GUI becomes unresponsive until this process is killed.

Adding the x11-only keyword
