I encounter the very same issue as in D13202 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D13202>: Changing the Avatar in System Settings results in a blank circle in Kickoff. Here's a clue though: it only happens on the first change for each image. For example, if I change the image to something else in the gallery, hit apply, and open Kickoff, I see a blank circle. If I go to System Settings and change the avatar again--but choose the very same gallery image--then it shows up in Kickoff. Here's the good news though: I see a variant of same thing without the patch: instead of being blank, it reverts to a previous image I used some time ago. So it looks like these patches may not be introducing the regression; instead they're simply changing the manifestation of a pre-existing regression. Perhaps touching this code may shed some light on that issue too. As for this patch itself, I rather prefer it to the shader approach, which seems more complicated and fragile, and also a lot easier to understand for me (and probably future contributors who are as bad at programming as I am).

Perhaps the window alternate background color?
