Bug Description

SUMMARY
When I toggle Window Overview, the background appears to turn white, along with the profile picture in Kickoff, and the lockscreen.

Bug is reported on KDE's bugtracker (452065) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452065

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not exactly sure when it happened, but it was most likely after I downgraded Mesa from 22 to 21 to fix the issue with 22 not supporting older graphics hardware, like the one with 1st gen Intel Core.

OBSERVED RESULT
Overview's background & the profile picture in Kickoff are white

EXPECTED RESULT
Background and profile photo should appear normal.
