Minetest built with SDL conflicts with kwin_x11 compositing about minetest HOT 3 OPEN

Plasma/KWin automatically disables compositing on Xorg if programs request it to reduce latency, which SDL does. You need to disable "Allow applications to block compositing" in the KWin compositor settings if you don't want it to do that.

It works, however, shouldn't apps properly control it using SDL_SetHint? For example disable compositing in fullscreen mode only, etc?

It appears SDL disables compositing by default: https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/why-is-compositing-disabled-on-normal-x11-windows/37712
We could add code to set the mentioned hint to tell SDL to keep it enabled, but the default behavior is not our fault.
