Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

When using the flip switch effect for window switiching the desktop becomes unresponsive.
This only happens when using the binary nvidia driver.

TEST CASE:
- Open System Settings -> Desktop Effects
- Set Effect for window switching to Flip Switch
- Press alt-tab for several seconds
- The desktop should still be responsive
