I like the direction but I would like
- something that doesn't permanently lock out the user if something failed
once, we either need a KCM like KWin has or a SNI ("we had to switch you back
to software rendering" with a sad puppy face)
- something more generic in KDeclarative like QtQuickRenderSettings so stuff
like KRunner, lock screen and so on can do the same, especially the screen
locker should fail gracefully

So you will permanently force software rendering even for a single hickup
(think of upgrading nvidia driver)?
