Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-03-16 20:24:16 UTC 
For example, Desktop Effects -> Virtual Desktop Switching Animation and Virtual Desktops -> Switching write into the same configuration. If I switch the desktop effect, go back to All Settings and then to Virtual Desktops, it shows the correct effect.
However, if I apply and then immediately switch to the other KCM via the sidebar, it's not updated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop Effects
2. Change the Virtual Desktop Switching Animation
3. Click 'Apply'
4. Go directly to Virtual Desktops
5. Go to the Switching tab


Actual Results:  
The combobox still shows the old effect

Expected Results:  
The combobox shows the newly selected effect from the Desktop Effects module

moving back to systemsettings. This is not a KWin bug and KWin also cannot work around it. Systemsettings must trigger a module load when switching. The individual modules cannot know that a different module got modified while it was open

I've no idea whether bug #360336 is actually related - the  config looks ok.

Can no longer reproduce in 5.14.5, 5.15.0, or git master. Looks like this got fixed along the way.
