I'm actually a KDE fan and have been a user since somewhere in v1.  I was 
simply agreeing that (for a perfectly valid reason) the transparency in 
Konsole isn't particularly good. 

Given Konsole's short comings I'd long suspected it was a "problem" with X 
itself.  Presumeably this is some kind of efficiency thing for keeping X 
traffic down? Kind of like Z-buffering in the 3d graphics world.
