Description:
 This patch adds support for real transparency to
kdesktop. It adds two new 
composite manager related features. To activate
the features kdesktop has to 
be started with the "--bg-transparency" option.

The first one allows you to change the opacity of
the background image. This 
works currently with the beryl transparent cube
and will also work with 
compiz once the transparent cube gets applied. To
activate the feature add 
the following to your kdesktoprc:
[Background Common]
BackgroundOpacity=90 (0 = fully transparent / 100
= opaque)

The second feature allows compiz (and later maybe
other composite managers) to 
tell kdesktop not to paint the background image 
("_COMPIZ_WALLPAPER_SUPPORTED" x atom). In this
case compiz is able to paint 
a viewport dependent background or to make it even
animated. This feature 
looks for changes to the x atom, so that kdesktop
will automatically switch 
back to normal background if kwin gets started or
compiz stops to render the 
wallpaper.

This patch is against the current kde3 svn.

Regards
Dennis
