Running:
OpenBSD 5.5-beta (GENERIC.MP) #225: Fri Jan 24 12:16:08 MST 2014
t...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP
I think it's kwin not starting. (when running KDE from .xinitrc I
see "ksmserver(15854) KSMServer::wmProcessChange: Window manager "kwin"
failed to launch", there don't appear to be any other related messages)
kwin as such doesn't appear to exist, but it exists in a renamed version.
When I work around the problem by making a symlink from /usr/local/bin/kwinv4
to kwin (ln -s kwin /usr/local/bin/kwinv4), the windows appear normal again.
P.S. the binary could be called kwin4 instead of kwinv4 on a slightly older
snapshot.
