Konsole With xcompmgr running

Description Richard Fujimoto 2004-08-23 19:51:12 UTC
Version:           1.4 (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.1-r1, ssp-3.4-2, pie-8.7.6.3)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-rc2-love2

Using the latest xorg-rc2, konsole does not properly calculate the background and it ends up looking somewhat tiled.  This also happens when using transparency.  This problem only happens when `xcompmgr -c` is running.

To better illustrate what the problem is, refer to the two attached images.

Konsole Without xcompmgr running

This is how konsole looks when xcompmgr isn't running and as you can see it
looks how how it should and konsole is functioning properly

Konsole With xcompmgr running

This is what happens to the background image (and transparency) after executing
`xcompmgr -c`  -- After looking at the image above, you can see how the top
part of the background is cut off and placed at the bottom of the konsole
window.  This is not the desired effect.
Comment 3 Fredrik Höglund 2004-08-24 00:09:40 UTC
This is a bug in the composite wrapper in the X server, not in Konsole.
It's been reported as bug #1101 in the freedesktop bugzilla.

Apologies.
