Version: 1.6.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.4-0ubuntu2~dapper1 ) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-k7 None the Konsole's transparent schemas work in other tabs that is not the first tab.
Transparency works here on all or any tabs; you are saying transparency only works on your first tab?
Exactly, you can see what happens in my linux on the following two screenshots: 1st Tab: http://roberta-iii.no-ip.org/files/tab1.png 2nd Tab: http://roberta-iii.no-ip.org/files/tab2.png And if I open another konsole (or yakuake, for example), neither have transparency. The transparency is only in the first console that I opened.
Does this work? Open konsole, select a transparent schema, select 'Settings->Save as Default', open a new tab. The new tab should be transparent. What transparent schema are you using?
No, that doesn't work. I am using "Transparent, dark background" (ok, my KDE is in spanish, this is a translation, really is "Transparente, fondo oscuro")
Maybe this error is only in the ubuntu package. I found this bug report in the bug-report system of ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/39489
Sadly, I have to confirm this with Kubuntu Dapper, using KDE 3.5.5. konsole --version: Qt: 3.3.6 KDE: 3.5.5 Konsole: 1.6.5

Oh, and I can confirm that also Yakuake mirrors this behaviour exactly, if that is of interest. FWIW, this was working with the version in Kubuntu Breezy (and a yakuake-version, too). Sorry to say I can't check the version numbers for those at the moment.
It seems that this bug appears in Kubuntu because of some undesired interaction between konsole/yakuake and an input package called 'scim-qtimm'. See another report in the ubuntu BTS: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/scim-qtimm/+bug/35760 .
It's true!!!! I removed the package scim-qtimm and now the transparency works!
Is someone looking into this?
Why scim-qtimm have conflict with the konsole transparency? Can somebody resolve this bug?
According to the Kubuntu bug report I've referenced, the scim-qtimm developer for Ubuntu personally uses neither scim-qtimm nor KDE (sigh), so it's not likely to get fixed by him. I don't like the situation... it would be nice if someone of the KDE people looked at this, but I can only hope.
Same problem here. Deinstalling scim-qtimm fixes the problem. I noticed that after the first terminal is loaded, ColorSchema::m_useTransparency is always resolving to false. Even for the first terminal, if you select the same schema again, it loses the transparency. On the settings dialog, all schemas are listed without transparency. If you set transparency and save the schema, and reload the settings dialog, the schema is still listed without transparency.
I also observe this bug on Fedora 7. uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 23:10:59 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux KDE 3.5.7-22.fc7 Fedora Konsole 1.6.6 After removing scim-qtimm, transparency on all tabs starts working immediately.
This bug is no longer there in Kubuntu Gutsy
Why is this bug marked as resolved ? It's still there ! On Fedora 7, kernel-2.6.23.12-52.fc7 kdebase-3.5.8-9.fc7 kdelibs-3.5.8-7.fc7 qt-3.3.8-7.fc7 scim-qtimm-0.9.4-7.fc7 Removing scim-qtimm, as suggested by the ubuntu thread, seemed to fix the problem. I am using a french keymap (and there is some indication that the bug only shows for a non US keymap).
Strange, as it now works flawlessly with Kubuntu Gutsy with the same versions. Using a Danish keyboard layout, and having been bothered with this bug for... say 2 years? (at least it feels that long :-)
