If you have problems with fullscreen applications flickering when desktop effects are ON then you can try solution that was suggested in KDE Bug 177495

  • Open ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc in an editor.
  • Go to section [Compositing].
  • Add following line:
UnredirectFullscreen=false
  • Save file.
  • Apply changes. Press alt+f2 and run
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin reconfigure


This forces KWin to not use window unredirection but can affect on performance of fullscreen OpenGL applications when desktop effects are ON. Desktop effects can be suspended to prevent performance issues (press alt+shift+f12) when running such applications.
