If anyone wants to help speed up the process of getting this feature into Konsole, here is what they would need to do:

- Download the source package of Konsole for your distro
- Uncomment the relevant defines in the code (they are in konsole/konsole/main.cpp if I remember correctly) 
- Build the code and test it in a composite and non-composite environment, test it with the various combinations of Konsole background settings and colour schemes that are possible.
- Report back in this bug report with your findings
- Better yet, build a package for your distro so that everyone who wants this feature can have it.

Not very much C++ knowledge is needed to do this, although you need to know how to download and build packages from source for your distro.
