Persistent settings despite changing config file

[steviator]

After adding some windows into the list of exceptions, I find that removing them from that list does nothing and there is no documentation anywhere that indicates where the configuration files are stored.

Issue #1 is that the gui configuration doesn't work properly
Issue #2 Is that debugging is hampered by the lack of documentation

I'll now try to remember what the exceptions were that I added and scour my home directory in hopes of finding the elusive secret hidden config file.

What exactly doesn't work? Any changes should be applied immediately when you click Apply.

The configuration is stored in ~/.config/kwinrc in the [Effect-blurplus] group.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add window class to list
2. Refresh force-blur (by uncheck -> apply -> check -> apply process)
3. Observe blurring exception
4. Remove window class from list
5. Refresh force-blur again
6. Observe blurring exception is still in place
7. Reboot
8. Observe blurring exception is still happening
9. Profit!

Refresh force-blur (by uncheck -> apply -> check -> apply process)

What exactly are you unchecking? Clicking OK or Apply in the effect configuration UI is enough. Are you modifying the file?
