            Bug ID: 308400
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.9.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Desktop effects disabled on boot
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: scp.stjohn at gmail.com
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: systemsettings

This problem occurs on two identical machines with the same configuration and
has been recurring for at least the last month.  
After boot or reboot desktop effects are disabled.  Alt-shift-F12 is
ineffectual.  After logout and login desktop effects are enabled and the
Alt_Shift_F12 sequence is operable in disabling or restoring composite effects.

Composite Type: OpenGL

I am using the Akmod Catalyst drivers.

This problem has persisted through at least the last five kernel updates (I
have been too busy to deal with it prior to this).

/etc/xorg.conf :

    Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
