Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.6 OS: Linux When using composite and translucency, I get artifacts from the kicker mouse-over effects. This happens when I move the pointer from one panel button to another, triggering a new tooltip-like window to appear. If instead I move the pointer outside of the panel, the effect fades out and no artifacts are left. Significant details: - kde 3.5.2 - Gentoo system (ebuilds for kicker and kompmgr are kicker-3.5.2 and kwin-3.5.2-r2) - x.org 7.0.0 - nVidia drivers 1.0.8756 - GeForce GO 7800 - Render acceleration on (off makes no difference) - AllowGlxWithComposite on (default now, off makes no difference) - BackingStore on (off makes no difference) carcharias rjf # cat .xcompmgrrc [xcompmgr] Compmode=CompClientShadows DisableARGB=false FadeInStep=0.021 FadeOutStep=0.035 FadeTrans=true FadeWindows=true ShadowColor=0x000000 ShadowOffsetX=0 ShadowOffsetY=-80 ShadowRadius=2

i have exactly the same problem - gentoo, bleeding edge ~amd64 - xorg 7.1 - nvidia 87.74 (the same artifacts take place with nv driver from xorg) - gf 6600GT
a problem with composition manager, not kicker's tips. nothing i can do about it. when people say things like "composite is not a mature technology" they mean it ;)
So rather than closing this, can it be reassigned to kompmgr, or do I need to file a new bug.
