Bug ID: 496879
Summary: Windows freeze and fade after wallpaper change
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: trobl...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Right after changing the wallpaper (either manually or, more importantly, by
the slideshow wallpaper option), all windows on the screen freeze for a split
second and a fade effect takes place.
This makes the "slideshow" wallpaper option nearly useless.
I have recorded a video showcasing the issue:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a game or a video that changes often
2. Change your wallpaper
OBSERVED RESULT
After finishing wallpaper's fade animation, all windows freeze for a split
second
EXPECTED RESULT
Windows don't react at all to the wallpaper change.

- This is especially noticeable when playing games, and before pinpointing the
bug I resorted to just disabling KWin.

sorry for any trouble
