KDesktop is now "plasma-desktop" ;-)

Yes, it should work with any (NETWM compliant) WM (and probably others, too) -
maybe without some features if you're not using KWin.

To check for your WM, open konsole and type:

   ps -A | grep -i -E '(kwin|compiz)'

you'll get some output like:
 3661 ?        00:00:07 kwin
or
 3661 ?        00:00:07 compiz

> Using Gnome or XFCE everything is okay - as i posted above
I meant "using the other window manager in combination with plasma"
if you're running compiz, launch (from konsole)

   kwin --replace &

(the '&' will for kwin to the background, so you can still use that terminal or
close it w/o killing kwin)
or vv.

   compiz --replace &

> ??? sorry - can you tell me how to do this?
In the menubar: "Settings/Edit current Profile..."
In the dialog, open the "Appearance" tab, click "Edit..."
In the new dialog set "Background transparency:" > 0 (e.g. 30%)
Close this dialog (Ok), click "Ok" or "Apply" on the other, done ;-)
