completely empty! There is a one-line text box into which you can type a
search term and a much bigger box which presumably should contain a long
list of effects which I should be able to play with.
This is weird because the system clearly does know about available
effects because on the first tab I have set (for example) : Effect for
window switching to Box Switch from a pick-list.
Wow! I'd say that probably has something to do with it, for sure! But
it's totally out of the blue, for me. I've never seen or heard anything
like it!
Two possibilities and if those (and sdowdy's suggestions) don't pan out,
hit bugzilla and see if there's anything close. I'd say file a bug if
you don't find anything like it, but what they're working on now is one
and a half to two years of development beyond the 4.6 you're running, so
it's probably not worth even thinking about at this point, if there's
nothing already there about it. Once the new Slackware's out and you're
on 4.8.x, however, if the bug's still there, I'd file it.
There are only two possibilities I can think of that would be anywhere
/close/ to that.
1) Check to be sure, you're running kwin as the window manager, correct?
Obviously if it somehow got replaced by compiz or the like, there'd be
some dramatic loss of window manager configurability within kde, but I've
never tried it, so I'm not sure what the symptoms would look like.
Probably the easiest way to be sure kwin's your window manager is to run
kwin --replace, from krunner or the like. You might also try from konsole
or the like, and see if it spits out any useful information as errors,
but if it's like most kde apps, devs apparently don't expect users to be
watching STDOUT/STDERR at all, so they print out all kinds of alarming
looking stuff even when things are working, for all one can tell. As a
result, that output tends to be useless for troubleshooting unless you
have another similarly configured system that's working to try it on as
well, and can do a diff to eliminate all the normal noise.
kwin --replace seemed to work just fine - everything looked exactly like
it did prior to the command, plus I got the following valuable (?) output
in konsole. It is clearly warning me that some effects are not supported,
although it remains a mystery as to why.
