Compositor settings affect only the window manager. GL clients will still use
GL.

This setting affects only the clients (plasmashell / systemsettings / whatever)

There are reasons to mix and match those two.
(unfortunately it was requested my settings for plasma should be hidden)

It seems I forgot to add the one line to support kscreenlocker :/
I shall add that for the next patch release. Sorry.

In the meantime, you can export 
QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software globally and confirm if that fixes it.

Awesome.

That was reported and fixed this week.
