           Summary: No transparency if no compositing manager was present at
                    starup

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: ng.ehahn gmx de


Version:           2.1 (using Devel)

OS:                Linux

If no Compositing manager was present when Konsole or Yakuake is started, transparency does not work even if one is started later. If a compositing manager was present at startup but disabled later, re-enabling compositing later also brings back transparency.

Transparency should work whenever compositing is activated.

I tested this with Compiz, Xcompmgr and Kwin.
