Recently I keep seeing lots of kwin_x11[844]: kf5.kcoreaddons.desktopparser: Could not locate service type file kservicetypes5/kwin-effect.desktop, tried ("/home/hering/.local/share", "/usr/share", "/usr/local/share") in my journal. This happens when Composer gets disabled and enabled again and happens on new installations as well. It might not be a severe bug but it does spam the journal. I am running the arch packages of plasma including kwin_x11.
Please provide output of qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation And in addition your kwinrc

I have the same bug on KDE 5.10.5. This actions can help: sudo ln -s /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwinscript.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwin-script.desktop sudo ln -s /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwineffect.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwin-effect.desktop As you see there is a mistake in filenames.
Thanks for the investigation. Maybe those desktop files can even be renamed. Could you check if this would cause any regressions?
