Control: severity -1 normal ¡Hola Ben! El 2017-01-23 a las 09:54 -0800, Ben Longbons escribió: Sorry, I've since upgraded my *entire* system from testing to unstable, and the problem went away at some point. If it wasn't a bug in some dependency, my guess is that something had migrated to testing without all of its true dependencies having migrated. There are a lot of ways that that can happen - plugins, changes in the *use* of some already-existing library call (e.g. accepting new enum values). You can debootstrap from http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20161219T152404Z/ to investigate the underlying cause, since if it's a missing dependency problem, it *will* cause problems again sooner or later. But here's the information you requested, for what it's worth: kwin hasn't entered into testing because of this bug and the #848524 report, this package was installed from sid, bringing only a small part of it's dependencies, from the original report: ii libkwinglutils9 4:5.8.2-1+b1 ii libkwinxrenderutils9 4:5.8.2-1+b1 There are some parts in your kwin-x11 that weren't correctely upgraded, I'll bump this runtime dependencies.

tag 848523 unreproducible moreinfo thanks Hi Ben! For what it's worth I have not seen this behavior. Please tell us which video card you have and which drivers are you using for it.
