            Bug ID: 305307
          Severity: major
           Version: 2.9.999
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: konsole-devel@kde.org
           Summary: Removal of the --notransparency option removes
                    necessary workaround for NVIDIA users
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: kretz@kde.org
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: NEW
         Component: general
           Product: konsole

I see you removed --notransparency for KDE 4.9. I relied on that flag because
of broken NVIDIA drivers. Transparency works alright here, so Konsole enables
it. But when I switch desktops and then switch back to the one where Konsole is
open, the GPU hangs for several seconds. It's that bad that I can almost fetch
a coffee in that time. Disabling transparency has been the recommended
workaround for NVIDIA users that suffered from this.

Reproducible: Always
