           Summary: Compositing works with KWin, but background transparency
                    settings in Konsole are ignored
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:           2.1 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) 
OS:                Linux

I compiled KDE 4 from SVN on Kubuntu 7.10, using kdesvn-build. I'm using the proprietary nVidia driver from the Ubuntu repositories, and had the X header files installed when compiling KDE 4, so compositing with KWin works. It is also possible to make decorations and windows translucent. Nonetheless, when I enable background transparency in Konsole (Settings->Edit Current Profile->Appearence->Edit), I don't see any effect. There is no error message (like the one I get when compositing is disabled), but the setting just seems to get ignored. Is this feature supposed to be working?
