            Bug ID: 234132
           Summary: KDE5 does not work well under FreeBSD 12.0
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bourne.identity at hotmail.com

I installed xorg + drm-kmod + kde5 on a 12.0 box (amd64 with Radeon-CAICOS
dedicated graphics card; radeonkms always loaded). The installation was clean. 

But on start of operations, I ran into multiple problems:

1) Clicking panel buttons for minimized windows leads to a strange flashing and
streaking, instead of the window being restored. See the attachment desktop.m4v
for a sample of 5 clicks on the Thunderbird button in the panel.

2) System settings launched a few times initially. But after the flashing and
streaking became too bothersome, System Settings started crashing. I could
never start System Settings applet yesterday - each time I was met with "This
program has crashed unexpectedly".

I would like to request two things :

1) More testing of KDE5

2) Making KDE4 packages available for 12.0 Release till KDE5 starts working
well. This request has also been made in Bug# 234129 filed for build failure of
KDE4 (from ports) under FreeBSD 12.0.


Thanks.
Manish Jain
