1-day old kubuntu 15.10 doesn't close windows even though the program is closed

  • 772

Dear ladies and gentlemen, After a fresh install of Kubuntu 15.10 and some installations including Nvidia driver 352 from repos in order to switch to Zotac GeForce GTX750, some windows will not close properly when closed by clicking the "X". The program is terminated, i guess, but the window stays as a zombie. just the graphical window.

I'm not really a professional here, please ask for details if needed to solve this problem. xprop and pointing on one of those zombies shows:

    Eeeer, I don't know what exactly happened... I played around in the compositing configurations and set on openGL 3.1. Everything was f***ed up. switching back and rebooting kinda fixed the mentioned problem. Running now. Kubuntu 15.10 seems like the most unstable release of an ubuntu distro I used since 8.04... very unconveniently unstable. Maybe i'm doing something wrong but I still recommend 14.04.01 LTS for nice and working release.
