If the property does not exist or is of wrong type or contains junk, the reasonable return value would be 1.0, not 0.0 - agreed?
I mean, if the client withdraws the property and it would get read agin, the client would expect to be opaque as if it didn't support the property, yesno?
If the call gets us a BadWindow (likely the case except for below) it seems pretty much ok to return the cached value, but i don't think that's the case for other errors.
reg. colibri:
i don't see why Qt should withdraw the property before deleting the window.
Any chance that colibri attempts to set the opacity out of bounds (-1) so that Qt would fall back to withdrawing it or similar?
