   xprop -f _KDE_NET_WM_BLUR_BEHIND_REGION 32c -set
_KDE_NET_WM_BLUR_BEHIND_REGION 0

click a window. should now be blurred.

    xprop -remove _KDE_NET_WM_BLUR_BEHIND_REGION

click the window again. should be unblurred.

Notice: regardless of any linebreak in bugzilla, either is only one line.

Also, and that's quite a problem with your patch, some styles like
oxygen-transparent do set the blur region as well. This will cross your
attempts.

Leaving aside linking libplasma and its dependencies into konsole, the major
two problems here have been:
1. blurring can be unwanted depending on the application that carries the
konsolepart (though the scheme might be sufficient here)
2. the client needs to aggregate various blurring requests, denies into one
region - the plasma function does not provide that since it was probably only
meant to blur docks and panels.

See discussion on https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/109391/ (no idea what
happened to that request)
