Please
1) Post your .config/kwinrc
2) Run kwin_x11 --replace in a terminal and post the output when reproducing the issue

I attached the requested files and output. In the log,

qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 4995, resource id: 14680069, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0

is the message appearing when the kdialog message is shown.
   kwinrc (3.4 KiB)
   kwin.log (1.1 KiB)

The message being shown probably is triggered by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/tabbox/tabboxhandler.cpp#L272

Thanks. You can change to a different switcher theme for now.

Or just change "PlasmaComponent3" to "PlasmaComponents3" in /usr/share/kwin/tabbox/small_icons/contents/ui/main.qml, it's just a typo.

Interestingly, other switcher themes throw the same kdialog message. The 3D ones work but the rest not.

Which ones? All others work fine here.
