    I've got an issue with OpenGL and KDE Plasma 5 with Parallels Desktop 10 on Yosemite.

    1. Before I install Parallels Tools, I get all the desktop effects, everything's good. I need to install PT though because of how the mouse behave without them.
    2. After PT installation, I lost openGL support. Composite manager switched back to soft renderer, so I tried to switch back to OpenGL. Be it v2 or 3 of OGL, I get the same behavior: I lose desktop effects erratically, elements are opaque one time, transparent the other. But mostly opaque.
    3. If I go to the HW Info tool of KDE, and click on the OpenGL tab, KDE just crash and get me back to the login screen.

    3D acceleration is on in Parallels options.

    I know KDE 5 is still in development, but what I'd like to show here is that Parallels Tools just break an otherwise working environment.

    I'd like to know why, and if there can be something done about it. Thx
