Cannot revert when disabling Krohnkite

[BillTheGoat]

Using :

Kubuntu 21.10 Plasma 5.22.5 Krohnkite b9d3b2f

I tested Krohnkite and then disabled it, both by using the system settings / get kwin scripts built-in feature. I can no longer actually display any app windows without first clicking on the tab in task bar > more actions > select "keep above others".

There is no configuration icon in the kwin script manager to allow me to change any Krohnkite settings.

How do I allow reset so I can use kde normally again?

You can remove Krohnkite from terminal:

kpackagetool5 --type KWin/Script --list              # This will list KWin scripts.
kpackagetool5 --type KWin/Script --remove krohnkite

and restart the KWin with kwin_x11 --replace.

That left kwin unusable, and now I can't access any window other than by using the quick switch (alt+tab). I can't maximize anything so I am stuck only with currrently open apps usable.

 kwin_x11 --replace

To be clear, all I did was activate krohnkite for about 30 seconds, and then disabled it.

Thanks

Resintalled kubuntu-desktop, at least I got back to the hidden apps problem only. I then unchecked "keep over others" on all apps, and things seem to be working correctly at this point. It seems like the problem was this option being somehow checked on some apps, forcing me to override with the same setting on others.

Hmm, I think the issue wasn't related to Krohnkite. The script always starts with this message: KROHNKITE: starting the script
