When trying to open the Desktop Effects settings the content of the System Settings window freezes and it is not possible to configure desktop effects as can be seen in the picture: http://imagebin.ca/v/1PtUEsj4xSIl - However it's possible to click the "Overview" button in the top left corner to get back. The following output can be seen on the console when that happens: ~ ❯❯❯ systemsettings ⏎ "Theme tree: (Oxygen)" Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/alex/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually Shortcut for KAction "quit_action" "&Quit" set with QShortcut::setShortcut()!

QtMultimedia is not installed. This is a required runtime component and indicated by cmake's feature summary when compiling KWin.
added an dependency for the package and made a merge request. Actually I could have noticed the message "module "QtMultimedia" is not installed" myself.. Thank you!
