Description Richard 2010-10-02 18:41:40 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Layers beneath the top layer will become briefly visible when the fade desktop animation for desktop switching becomes active.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure KDE to use the fade desktop animation.
2. Open a window.
3. Open another window and maximize it.
4. Switch desktops

Actual Results:  
The window beneath the maximized window becomes briefly visible.

Expected Results:  
There should be a transition from one desktop to another, with no hidden layers becoming visible.

The animation looks awful when you have a hidden window.
