Hi,

The actual limitation here is that if Konsole is started without desktop effects enabled then it must be restarted after desktop effects have been enabled for transparency to become available.  This is because Konsole sets up the the application differently depending on whether or not compositing is available on startup.  Trying to use the 'compositing enabled' setup when compositing is not available causes slowdown and visual glitches.  

If Konsole is started with compositing available then any transparency settings changes will take effect immediately.

In short, this is expected behavior.
