           Product: konsole

I see you removed --notransparency for KDE 4.9. I relied on that flag because
of broken NVIDIA drivers. Transparency works alright here, so Konsole enables
it. But when I switch desktops and then switch back to the one where Konsole is
open, the GPU hangs for several seconds. It's that bad that I can almost fetch
a coffee in that time. Disabling transparency has been the recommended
workaround for NVIDIA users that suffered from this.

Reproducible: Always
