It's really painful to compile kwin-git on Arch, while e.g. gnome-shell-git or xfwm4-git are easy to compile. There are so many KDE packages, I'd suppose that there is a lot of potential for combining them into fewer. > I need to look into the code some more for a final patch.

I'll stick with the git packages until 5.18 is released and report back in case of oddities, no big deal. > I understand your sentiment but from my perspective I would need to dig into > how exactly unredirect is supposed to be implemented and even then to my > knowledge there are certain structural constraints of unredirect that make > it a subpar experience. > > On the other side we have the Wayland session where in the future we will be > able to do an optimal direct scanout of client buffers and on the other side > still have lots of other things to do to make it work on every user install > without issues.

Maybe my thinking is too simple, but wouldn't it work if KWin polled e.g. every 0.5s if there was a fullscreen window covering everything else, and in case it isn't (e.g. after alt + tabbing out of a game), resume compositing (and vice versa)? The result basically should be the same of unredirecting, without the need to actually implement it. I think I also found a bug of KWin compositing in conjunction with Proton fullscreen hack patch for Wine, where the fullscreen window just stays black after alt + tabbing out of it and back into it. This does not happen when I disable compositing before. Gonna open a new report for it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
