There's an awful lot of stuff in kwinrc, to say that it's supposed to be disabled. What do you think? http://pastebin.ca/1870169 SystemSettings had it enabled. I've just turned it off there and I'll try a new login. Hmm - as it shut down, kontact briefly showed! No wonder I couldn't get it to start. Well, I'm back in a full KDE session, minus compositing, and konversation has launched without causing a crash. Akonadi is still cycling back and forth, but that's another story. It looks as though there is no compositing with this GPU and the Intel driver.
