Review request for Plasma.


Summary (updated)
-------

Since revision 928340 (http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=928340 ) its no longer possible to set a translucent background. Because of this you cannot use the wallpaper plugin of compiz fusion any longer with kde 4. For more information please see this bugreport: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199869

This patch adds an hidden option named "translucentBackground" (because of Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground) in ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc (example):

...
[PlasmaViews][34]
DashboardContainment=0
translucentBackground=true
...

The default value of translucentBackground is false, because this is the default behavior at the moment. I also created a patch against the kdebase-workspace-4.3.1 source package of Debian Squeeze, which works fine for me and can be found here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199869#c10
