Happened today again.
Here’s the .xession-errors-:0 beginning. Clearly says effects are disabled but not why, the only other message possibly interesting is “This backend is only for XRandR 1.1, your version is: 1.3” So do I have a too recent version of XRandr installed somehow?

In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I have the following that seems to imply that GLX is loading and disabling XRandr
20.338] Loading extension NV-GLX

20.353] (--) RandR disabled
20.357] (II) Initializing extension GLX
I looked for details on Xrandr and got this, as you can see, the version numbers in the package neither match what kwin says I have (1.3) nor what it says it needs (1.1)

Información para paquete libXrandr2:
-------------------------------------
Repositorio: openSUSE:13.1
Nombre: libXrandr2
Versión: 1.4.2-2.1.2
Arquitectura: x86_64
Proveedor: openSUSE
Instalado: Si
Estado: actualizado
Tamaño instalado: 38,3 KiB
Resumen: X Resize, Rotate and Reflection extension library
Descripción:
The X Resize, Rotate and Reflect Extension (RandR) allows clients to
dynamically change X screens, so as to resize, to change the
orientation and layout of the root window of a screen.
So NVidia driver is loading and disabling xrandr, which may or may not have to do anything with desktop effects as the compositor mentioned in the effects configuration dialog is “XRender”, not XRand. Looking at the XRender package, this is what I get:
$ zypper if libxrender1
El repositorio 'Packman' no está actualizado. Puede ejecutar 'zypper refresh' como superusuario para actualizarlo.
