Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
When changing kwin (KDE window effects) effects settings if compositing is active, the screen will freeze.
RELEASE NOTE: In a KDE Plasma Workspace, when changing desktop effects settings with effects active, the display will freeze. This can be avoided by disabling effects, making the desired settings change, and then re-enabling effects. If the display freezes, effects can be disabled using shift+alt+f12 and the display will, in most cases, unfreeze.
