Konsole's terminal output when browsing its spawned windows.

SUMMARY
In Konsole, when using a colour scheme with transparency enabled, the
transparency effect does not work, and the settings menu claims:
"This color scheme uses a transparent background which does not appear to be
supported on your desktop"

This message is seen repeated several times when switching between dialogs
spawned by Konsole (settings window, profile editing window, etc.)

kf.windowsystem: static bool KX11Extras::compositingActive() may only be used
on X11

Will test again on X11 after submitting this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Begin a Plasma 6 Wayland session
2. Enable transparency in Konsole
3. Apply the theme


OBSERVED RESULT
The terminal background is opaque.

EXPECTED RESULT
A transparent background in the terminal emulator.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux: 6.6.1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0
Qt Version: 6.6.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This happens on both of my machines, one with an AMD RX 6700 XT, and the other
with Vega 8 integrated graphics. Both also use an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5
5600H respectively.
I don't know if it's relevant, but my current Mesa version is 23.2.1

The Plasma 6 packages are binaries provided by Arch Linux.

The issue persists with a new, clean profile, and a new konsolerc.
