Ah yes - sorry. I havent' used it for several weeks as I am using marble.
Obviously there has been a change at any point recently. I just went through 
the code and you need to add something like 
MenuTransparencyEngine=XRender
to ~/.qt/kstylerc as well.
IIRC a KControl module was planned for this but it is not yet there. Other 
values for MenuTransparencyEngine can be SoftwareTint and SoftwareBlend. The 
default is Disabled.
BTW: you can also add the line 
MenuOpacity=0.90
(0.90 is the default) which gives you the ability to change the transparency 
grade.

It is definitely working with HighColor and MenuTransparencyEngine=XRender. I 
did not test the other ones but I assume they are working as well.
