Effects can specify their minimum requirements in their
desktop file:
* OpenGL
* OpenGL 2 (GLSL required)
* Shaders (either ARB or OpenGL 2)
The configuration module uses this information in combination
with which backend KWin is currently using. So if e.g. OpenGL
is used and an effect requires OpenGL 2 a detailed error
message can be showed that OpenGL 2 is required.
BUG: 209213
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
REVIEW: 104847
Instead of getting the information from CompositingPrefs
the running KWin instance is queried through D-Bus.
In general the running KWin should have more information
about whether Compositing will work or not.
This means the kcm no longer has to link OpenGL.
REVIEW: 104753
Also add a usable "doesn't work why" info and WARN! the user about clicking the rearm button.
Merge "OpenGLIsUnsafe" and "CheckIsSafe" config keys
Move the entire checking into CompositingPrefs

Replaces one hack with another hack (due to having to support multiple kwin instances), but provides a much better user experience.
Big thanks to mgraesslin for comments, review, and fixes.

from David. Due to an elusive bug somewhere in kdelibs we have not been
able to find out how to fix the issues that some people were having.
There seems to be a race condition as I cannot reproduce at all, David
can reproduce sporadically and some reporters can always reproduce.
This commit attempts to also keep the code style changes that were made
at the same time as the original commit as well as some minor bug fixes
that were made between then and now. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
We will be revisit this in KDE 4.3.

I don't expect this to fix the plugin selection bug, but it could aid in tracking the issue down.

If there appears any new, possibly related bug, be quick to suspect this commit, because it is not really tested, but should help to track the plugin selection bug down.

Also fixed a little bug in kcmkwincompositing (dropdowns on the general tab were not updated correctly) and cleaned up the code a bit (removed a few unneeded function calls and stale connects).
See the conversation on the mailing list ("Patch for bug 174769", http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=122696916611602) for further information.

Remove the previous configuration for assigning screen edges from the config dialogs of the single effects.

otherwise the effect-for-alt+tab combo resets to no effect when the dialog is used the first time.

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.
