I'm not sure if I understand this right... so the active desktop effects 
mess up everything, and it is even hard to start systemsettings and turn 
them off?

Try Alt+Shift+F12, this toggles the desktop effects. I use it on a PC (not 
my own desktop, at least one problem that _I_ do not run into) where all 
plasma stuff is just black, including the panel, so I cannot open the K menu 
or call krunner. This happened after the upgrade from 4.6.2 to to 4.6.3, 
4.6.4 is not installed there yet. Could also be the X.org update that 
happened along the KDE update.
You can also edit ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc, and set Enabled=false in the 
[Compositing] section.
