Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.93) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.2 Debian/Unstable OS: Linux Ever since I first tried the Plastik theme the window decorations have had rendering errors. They don't appear at first, but after a while they may appear on a specific window. It's usually only one of the active or not-active states that get's affected. My friend with the exactly same packages compiled on the same distribution but on x86 does not have these errors so I'm guessing it's PPC specific. Runnning 16-bit color. I'll add a screenshot as soon as I have compiled kdegraphics too!

Noone is going to touch this?

Well, I don't own a PPC so I was hoping that someone else would be able to fix this bug. I will give it a try but frankly I don't have any clue where to begin... :) - When you are handling such a window which looks broken, are there any warnings appearing in your ~/.xsession-errors? You can use "tail -f ~/.xsession-errors" to watch the file... - I have added some debug output to http://www.tnt22.com/files_sandro/plastik_debug_68878.tar.bz2 . Can you please install this package (./conigure ; make ; su -c 'make install' etc.), run "kwin --replace 2> plastik_debug" until the error appears again and then attach this file. regards, Sandro

I don't think we ever got this right? Not using my old iMac anymore so it's hard to tell.
Hi. A PPC user has also reported this issue in the Debian BTS (#237279): "The Plastik Window Decoration theme often shows artefacts in the windowbar. I've noticed them when a window receives focus. Sometime the artefacts are just dots, a line behind the window title. Sometimes more pixels are involved." This was with KDE 3.2.1 on Linux 2.4.22-powerpc. They then add the further comment: "The artfacts remind me of somewhat similar looking problem in Netscape in the early days of Linux on Macintosh hardware. The problem only occurs on my PPC machine and not on my AMD box. So I assume it is a litte vs big endian issue." I can't confirm this, having only an i386 machine myself. But the problem has been reproduced, with endianness as a possible culprit. Ben.
Do you stil have this problem with recent version of kwin?
