Just tried changing themes, and fine-tuning, going from very-high CPU to high
CPU.
No joy. Not only that, but the black popup/new window effect manifested
itself almost at once after I made the change.
To clear this, I had to log out, then log back in. Naturally I reset
everything to default:
Theme: Oxygen
Graphics effect: Low screen resolution and very high CPU.
I'm getting this on one of my laptops which is running Gnome. I don't think
this has anything to do with KDE. That laptop has an Intel video chipset.
My other hardware that's running nouveau is not having that particular
issue. One laptop has a different display issue, but not this one.
