with 4.4 the behaviour was slightly changed and kwin will only crash once when
OpenGL is not available, for successife starts it will not be tried.

The problem is, that we have to initialize OpenGL to test if OpenGL is
available. It is definately not an option to ask the user for enabling effects,
as it just works in 99.9 % of the cases and distros would change that anyway.

I would kindly ask you to try if the way of 4.4 is good enough for you. In
general I think it's not KDE's fault if it fails due to broken dependencies and
we should be able to rely on the presence of DRI.
