I goto Personal Settings -> Desktop:

- I have "Enable Desktop Effects" enabled/checked.
- I click the "All Effects" tab.
- I go to the option, "Logout - Desaturate the desktop when display the
Logout Dialog" and disable/uncheck it.

If I click the Leave button to logout, the desktop DOES NOT Desaturate. Good, but... I cancel the logout. I click Leave again, and logout for real this time. I login and click the Leave button. The desktop DOES Desaturate this time. Bad!!! I double-check the option, and it is still disabled/unchecked. Why is the desktop Desaturating, if the feature is disabled/unchecked?

Desaturate desktop is causing another problem.

If a user is logged-in through VNC, the Desaturate desktop is causing great pains because it is soooo slow. The VNC user does not have "Enable desktop effects" enabled/checked, but their desktop still Desaturates when they select the Leave button to logout. How do they turn Desaturate desktop on Logoff off?

Is there a trick to permanently disable Desaturate desktop for real in both of these situations?

Thank you.

KDE 4.3.5/opensuse 11.2

Interesting; I have just installed 4.4.1 and through Desaturate is checked, it doesn't.

I believe I have seen the same effect on my Trunk system, although in my case, I have only ever clicked Leave, and it usually doesn't resaturate properly.

This is a bug in KWin. Please file a bug report at bugs.kde.org.

Thank you.

I searched for "desaturate" and there was one result.

Bug 198955 -- logout screen turns black instead of desaturate https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198955

It's similar, but not exact. Should I create a new bug report or just update this one?

I think your issue is different, so I would go for a new bug report. Thanks for taking the time to report it.
