Description Stéphane Pontier 2006-08-07 14:21:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

- If I open a new console with (with any default model) and try to change to a transparency model: the transparency is not working on the model I just selected. 
 - If I open a new konsole with a transparent model as default, the transparency is working. 
 - If I try to open a new shell tab, even if the default model had transparency, the new tab transparency doesn't work. 
 - If I open a new konsole with transparent model (here, transparency is working), exit my kde session, and login again, the konsole previously open doesn't have transparency anymore. 
 
 If I tried to edit a model, I see that the transparency is not checked, If I checked it and save the model, it saved right in the .schema file ([...]transparency 0.66   5   5   5 [...]) but not applied, moreover, if I close the konsole and open it and try to edit the model, the transparency is unchecked again while it still enable in the .schema file.
 
 I tried to launch a konsole without using scim and launched a new konsole and transparency worked fine.
   (under mandriva, I achieve it by removing the path to /usr/lib/qt3/plugins in .qt/qtrc so it wasn't loading libqscim.so
    Under kubuntu, I achieve it by changing the right to the /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/libqscim.so file to 000, I got lot of warning about not successfully loading this lib but the transparency worked fine)

 
 tested on kubuntu dapper 
  scim                                  1.4.4-1ubuntu12 
  skim                                  1.4.4-0ubuntu7 
  konsole                               3.5.3-0ubuntu0.2 
 
 and on mandriva cooker 
 scim-1.4.4-9mdv2007.0 
 skim-1.4.5-1mdv2007.0 
 kdebase-konsole-3.5.4-2mdv2007.0 
 libkdebase4-konsole-3.5.4-2mdv2007.0 
 (the bug was also here with previous version of konsole and scim) 


first of all I thought it was related to the Bug #131856 but maybe not since Romain has problems even without loading libscim.so
Comment 1 Stéphane Pontier 2006-10-16 11:43:58 UTC
With update of KDE 3.5.5 (ubuntu dapper or mandriva cooker), there is a slight change in the description of the bug,

- Now, if I open a new konsole with transparent model, exit my kde session, and login again, the konsole previously open has now transparency.
- If I open a new shell tab _in this console_, transparency is working fine.

in other case, the behaviour is the same as described previously

tested on kubuntu dapper

Hello,

Does this still apply under more recent versions of Konsole / SCIM? (eg. in Kubuntu Gutsy or Hardy)?
Comment 3 Stéphane Pontier 2008-05-26 10:49:47 UTC
I haven't checked for a while and it seems to be solved under gutsy with
scim                              1.4.7-1ubuntu2
skim                              1.4.5-2ubuntu1
konsole                           4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1

and in mandriva cooker with:
scim-1.4.7-10mdv2008.1@x86_64
skim-1.4.5-4mdv2008.1@x86_64
kdebase-konsole-3.5.9-42mdv2009.0@x86_64
