Did you guys really believe that Plasma5 is ready for the inclusion in Slackware?

Out of all sins, when a desktop environment asks for a gaming video card, something smell like a week old dead rat.

Look, for example, in the attached screenshot for taskbar, for how behave the latest LTS Plasma5 with a Radeon HD 6450, which is a more than decent video card for a desktop, and in a x86_64 system driven by a Phenom x4 9650 at 2.3GHz, with 8GB RAM DDR2/800 in dual channel.

Oh, that happens when I am lucky and the KWin does not crash its effects, which happens several times on a day, thought...

I know, maybe it is an obsolete computer according with some people living in North America or Western Europe, but I for one I am not willing to buy a gaming video card worth of $1000, only to run your beloved Plasma5.

Same wonderful things happens with built-in Radeon HD3200 (from AMD RS780G chipset), Radeon HD3100 (from AMD RS780V chipset), Radeon HD4250 (from AMD RS880G chipset), Radeon HD4350 and Radeon HD5450.

Meanwhile, the Windows 8.1, 10 and Slackware (-current) with KDE4 works like a charm in the same system.

@ReaperX7

Thanks for the link, but it is not about missing icons.

The desktop boots fine (when it magically does not disable its KWin effects), the taskbar and everything else looks normal, but after some time (ranging from minutes to hours) happens this thing. Instead of icons and buttons appears those random colored areas.

Doing a logout/login the desktop is back to normal for some time.

Then, I believe is a Plasma5 issue with the Radeon driver. Maybe only on KWin.

Then, if there are issues with Radeon driver, and in NVIDIA side there is support only for Nouveau, is really ready that Plasma5 for shipping by default? We should dump our computers and buy Intel all the way?

Or, maybe I missed somehow the memo and Slackware 15.0 will be released as Slackware VISTA?

I think Martin Gräßlin was payed by a well know shady company to sabotage the KDE. And he done a wonderful job throught.

I hope his firing out will be a bottle of oxygen for KWin and overall Plasma5 stability.

It might be an issue with the compositor used by Plasma5 causing the icons to get "lost" over time. I would doubt it's the ati driver because if it was the icons would be lost immediately, along with probably more. Are you using wayland or x?

@ReaperX7

I use the old good X.org, as shipped by -current.

And also myself I believe the issue is on Plasma5 side.

Darth Vader, how about you report it so they can fix it: https://bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi

Did you really believe I am the unique person who use "desktop" but not gaming AMD Radeon video cards for running Plasma5?

I do not think so.

And the lack of reports on web about this issue, which manifests also on one of my computers with a Radeon HD4350 but not in another, wich is an Intel, makes me to wonder if is not a packaging issue introduced by Eric Hameleers.

You are a unique person. I think they'd benefit from the clarity you'd provide in your bug report to KDE.

I don't think so. I had an issue with qt5-5.9.6 so I went back to qt5-5.9.5. Is it this past update or all updates for you?

I would report it also. It might be a problem with the kwin compositor in regards to how it handles glx rendering, maybe even OpenGL 2.0 if I'm guessing that is your setup.
