hi all im using kde-3.5.1 on amd64 build
composite and render accel options are configured correctly in xorg.conf, but when i start kde and go to control centre and window behavior i click on translucency and its fine as root but i get "alpha channel is not availbale" as user.
any ideas where to start |

to your USE flags, and run;
emerge -uDv --newuse world |

Arh......bugger it 
The Kmenu->Kontrolpanel->Desktop->Window behaviour->Transperancy did in fact work after my other post........however, the settings are ignored. i get no shadows, and no transperancy.
Edit: I needed to restart KDE, before the changes are applied........now my windows fade in and out, like there is no tomorrow  |
