SUMMARY If I launch some application that would block kwin compositing and then close it (restoring kwin's abilities), next time I restart the computer and it launches a new plasma session (in which said blocker app has not been run), it will launch with kwin effects disabled, and will issue a notification about enabling them with a shortcut. Example app to try: https://github.com/Taiko2k/TauonMusicBox (has an easily installable flatpak). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch some app that would temporarily block kwin compositing. 2. Close said app. 3. Restart the computer and wait until plasma launches. OBSERVED RESULT Plasma should launch with kwin compositing enabled. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma launches with kwin compositing disabled.
