You know that I tried it first with Yakuake, because I prefer that one ;-) It 
works there, too.

No the applications have to tell us what is transparent. And that is in 
case of Konsole unfortunately a non trivial task. We can of course 
recognize that the window is translucent but does that mean it has to be 
blurred? IMHO no. I would consider a blurred Konsole a bug and not a 
feature and there are probably many other applications which want 
translucency without blurring.

As I am currently working on KWin scripting I'll try to add some hooks to 
define a KWin script to set the blur regions.
