Description:
When I run kodi, from a konsole or from a launcher, it starts and then I have 2 equally bad options:
- either it seems to go fullscreen, but then all I really see is my plasma desktop... I can move the mouse, but that's all. Nothing within plasma works anymore, and so far my only way out was restarting the plasma session
- the other option is similar but I see kodi in a window, in the top left corner and I cannot interact with it (it's frozen). The rest is the same.

Sometimes I get a window saying that kwin has crashed and maybe I wish to use a different window manager, but I have not tried. Looking at the processes, there seems to be a lot of kwin_x11 when this happens. I guess it crashed and reloaded a few times.

I have no issue playing anything with mpv though...

It all worked fine a few hours ago in KDE4.
It also works fine in fluxbox so that makes me believe it is plasma/kwin related.
I tried no compositor, or different options for the compositor, but it's all the same. I am not sure what else to try.


Additional info:
* plasma-meta 5.2.0.4
The whole system is up to date with [testing], (linux 3.18.4, xorg-server 1.16.3-2)
if that helps I am using the radeonsi driver with a 280x
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1) Install plasma-meta
2) Run kodi
This task depends upon

Hmmm, I still have the exact same issue with -2.

And another kde dev has offered a different patch for this.
Please try -3 :)
