Bug 105851 Xserver 1.20 RC2+ issues with Kwin + Present 1.2

Switching between egl and glx can only be done these days by editing the
kwinrc file (egl however is used by default on wayland I believe), egl was
still enabled from years ago when switching was easy

I've attached some coredumps on the bug, though I don't have any debugging
compiled into the binaries so I'm not sure how useful they are
