            Bug ID: 357376
           Summary: cannot use OpenGL or compositing for desktop effects--
                    insists on XRender
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: vendor at billoblog.com

Configuration:  HP Envy, Intel i7, Intel HD 530 graphics, Fedora 23
uname -a: Linux localhost.localdomain 4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 15
16:49:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
KDE plasma desktop 5.5.0-4 f23

Problem:

I can't turn on Desktop Cube animation.  The option isn't shown.  When go to
system settings and look at the compositor, it says "XRender" and it goes back
to that if I choose something the OpenGL renderers. 

If I set KWIN_COMPOSE to 0, nothing changes.  If I set it to Q, I can get the
choice of OpenGL to stay after I choose it, but behavior doesn't change, and
when I reboot, it goes back to XRender with the following error message (with
KWIN_COMPOSE set to Q, and OpenGL chosen at shutdown):

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot up
2.Choose OpenGL compositor
3.Close System Settings
4. Reopen System Settings -- back to XRender

Actual Results:  
What I've already written

Expected Results:  
I'd like OpenGL and the infamous cube with compositing
