Transparent panel.

[Zack Rusin]

Ave,

I feel like I'm going to be mutilated for this one, but I made Kicker 
transparent (optionally). I was going through kde-look.org today and 
noticed that people tend to create backgrounds for Kicker that make it 
look like it would be transparent. Someone even provided a hacked 
Keramik style with a transparent panel, I though that it would be lot 
more useful to just have a simple option like:
[x] Make that sucka transparent
So I added one to the Kicker KControl module (appearance->background 
group), added a KRootPixmap to the ContainerArea and made Kicker 
transparent.

The only problem that I noticed is that buttons background is sometimes 
a little off, leaving them a little more noticable, but I think it 
looks better this way anyway. Oh, and I didn't add an option to 
customize  the fade effect since it seemed to me totally useless - "Oh, 
cool, I want a transparent panel, but let's make it not transparent by 
fading the background" and I'm not a big fan of having tens of widgets 
to configure one thing. Any objections or can I commit?
