           Summary: Poor plasma performance after wallpaper change
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: marsmissionaries gmail com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

When changing the wallpaper background in plasma, things that are animated have poor performance, this included the animation of the desktop toolbox expansion, mouse over and mouse out fade ins and outs of taskbar items, and applet handle animation performance. Also, as a whole the performance seems to fall.


Before changing the wallpaper, it is all very quick. I think it may be related to the animation associated with changing to a new wallpaper.

After restarting the session, it performs well again.
